Phlebotomized haven't really found their ground yet, but there are a ton of cool ideas on display on this EP   Feb 7, 2022

Killer EP with plenty of unique material from the album. This is the beginning of Death n' Roll, but there is still a ton of ripping OSDM here as well.   Feb 7, 2022

Really neat EP with some amazing artwork. Musically Deceased have evolved a bit but still retain their classic Death/Thrash sound.   Feb 7, 2022

Love Song is so unforgivably bad.   Sep 28, 2021

Rather generic beginnings for legendary band Tool. Sounds inspired by the Alt Rock of the time.   Sep 28, 2021

A bit weaker than the last album, but still solid Death/Grind.   Sep 28, 2021

Some nice Symphonic arrangements by Yoshiki I believe. Some tracks like Joker just don't work in this context, but most are pretty great Classical renditions.   Sep 28, 2021

Disgustingly sleazy Groove Metal with some Industrial influences.   Sep 28, 2021

Venom release another great album with Demolition Man at the helm. No idea why this one is disliked! Great Thrashy Speed Metal, with a fantastic atmospheric closer in "Clarisse".   Sep 28, 2021

Vader's debut doesn't quite have their signature sound. In fact, Piotr's unmistakable bellow is nowhere to be found. However, it's still great Thrashy Death Metal with Slayer-esque riffing and drumming, always a plus.   Sep 28, 2021

Type O Negative continue to show that music is just a joke to them with releases like this.   Sep 28, 2021

Trouble get rid of all Doom and gloom on this one and go Psychedelic influenced Heavy Metal and Hard Rock. Some of the riffs are good, but compositionally this album is quite weak.   Sep 28, 2021

Mediocre album from Yngwie. I think he is still after commercial success here, most tracks are quite simple. Closer Final Curtain is quite good though.   Sep 28, 2021

Definitely his weakest album at the time. Most of the Progressive Technicality is gone, plus it's way less heavy.   Sep 28, 2021

Tiamat move towards Doom Metal here, but have yet to master atmosphere or emotion. A transitional album.   Sep 28, 2021

Here Therion start departing from an OSDM sound and put in some keys, but it's a far stretch from Symphonic Metal.   Sep 28, 2021

Very primitive and amateur sound, the band is still finding themselves.   Sep 28, 2021

Testament leave Thrash and play Heavy Metal here. Some of the riffs are Thrash influenced, but the music is all mid-tempo. Decent, but inferior to everything prior.   Sep 28, 2021

Decent Thrash from Tankard. Predictable, but full of energy.   Sep 28, 2021

Stratovarius' early material seems quite maligned (maybe because of the vocals?) but I find it to be fully competent Power Metal. Generic, but certainly full of great melodies.   Sep 28, 2021

Very solid Epic Doom. Songs are long and varied, plenty to enjoy.   Sep 28, 2021

Absolutely awesome record by Sodom, some of their best songs yet. A couple weaker tracks, but most are top quality. So heavy too, nearly Death Metal at times. Just amazing!   Sep 28, 2021

Saxon are just about the most generic sounding Heavy Metal band out there, and this album is more autopilot from them. Not bad, just unremarkable.   Sep 28, 2021

Samael get rather Doomy on this one, and I quite like it. Simple and straightforward, but some of the riffs are pretty memorable.   Sep 28, 2021

Better than the debut, but Sabbat still haven't impressed me with their very basic take on Blackened Heavy Metal.   Sep 28, 2021

Running Wild slow down on this one, much more Heavy Metal than Power Metal. Doesn't work as well for me.   Sep 28, 2021

Decent, proggy AOR influenced Heavy Metal. Very standard but it's quality.   Sep 28, 2021

Very interesting release, Blackened Heavy Metal with hammy, operatic vocals, and some clear passion. Too many weak fillers, but the peaks are intense.   Sep 28, 2021

Thrashy Power Metal from one of the most consistent bands. They seemed to find a solid sound here, and have basically been playing this style ever since.   Sep 28, 2021

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석   Mar 15, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   4 days ago

라브리에 해고해라   Mar 6, 2025

점차 공격성이 사라지고 서정성만을 추구하는 멜데스가 많아질수록 이 앨범은 빛을 발한다   Mar 9, 2025

잉베이의 열정적인 기타와 마크 볼즈의 절정의 보컬을 마음껏 만끽할 수 있어 이 앨범을 듣는것이 무척 즐겁다. 잉베이는 스스로의 실력도 대단하지만, 보컬 복이 참 많은 뮤지션인 것 같다.   Mar 10, 2025

I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song.   Mar 11, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly.   Mar 12, 2025

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   4 days ago

뉴메틀이라고 우습게 봤다가는 뒤져요..   Mar 6, 2025

평점을 안달았다니 이런. 데스메탈갓의 데스메탈, 앞으로도 추앙받을 진정한 마스터피스.   Mar 8, 2025

The "Ram It Down" is a very underrated album, but in 1988 in the german Metal Hammer looked like a new classic by the soundcheck.Otherwise the "Ram it Down" and the "Hard As Iron"(with thundering riff) are great fast classic Priest songs. All in all i think only the "Love Zone" is the only one problematic song and the Lp is great..   Mar 8, 2025

귀에 팍팍 꼿히는 순도 99,9%의 헤비메탈 깔끔한 믹싱 때문에 더 좋게 들린다.역시 앤디스냅!   Mar 8, 2025

현재 보유중인 유일한 브투털 데스 음반이다. 정확히는 그루브 브루털 데스 광폭하면서도 리듬감이 살아있어서 그나마 귀에 들어온다.   Mar 8, 2025

LA메탈의 시작을 알리는 역사적 데뷔작. 빈스닐의 거친 코맹맹이 보컬은 아직 뚫리기 전이고 믹과 토미의 연주도 거칠다. 그런데 합주가 시작되면 니키의 베이스와 어우러져 아주 그럴싸한 곡들이 나온다. 아니, 앨범 전체 곡들의 멜로디가 좋아서 버릴 곡들이 없다. 몇개 히트곡에 의존했던 3,4집과는 수준차이가 크며 2집에도 크게 뒤지지 않는다.   Mar 8, 2025

새로운 B급 문화를 만드는데 큰 영향을 준 역사적인 작품이다. 음악 자체는 강렬한 펑크와 블루스, 영국식 헤비메틀이 혼합된 난폭한 스타일이다. 녹음 상태는 열악하지만 감상을 방해하는 정도는 아니다. 서구의 평론가들이 지하감옥에서 연주하는 음악이라고 표현했는데 어쩐지 잘 어울린다.   Mar 9, 2025

Fantastic classic album with the legendary Ronnie James Dio..   Mar 9, 2025
