By this point, Anathema had let go of all Metal influence. However, thankfully they were still expert songwriters and masters of conveying emotion. What we have here is an amazingly emotional Alternative Rock record, and "One Last Goodbye" in particular is one of the greatest songs of all time.   Jul 26, 2024

I will admit, this one bored me at times. It's a strong release, but the lack of any actual Melodeath on it hurts. Amorphis aren't as good at... Prog Folk Metal, or whatever this is.   Jul 26, 2024

One of the most consistent Amon Amarth albums, with a total absence of lowpoints or highpoints. Very solid Melodeath, but lacks anything resembling a hit.   Jul 26, 2024

A heavier, much Thrashier direction since their 80's material. Even with a new vocalist, the vocals are still poor, but the music, especially on the heavier tracks, is fantastic.   Jul 26, 2024

Fantastic EP, Labyrinth delivering top quality Power Metal as always. My only complaint is the redone version of "In the shade" is actually worse than the original... which is a shame, cause that's my favorite Labyrinth song :(   Jul 26, 2024

Strong debut album by Wuthering Heights, already displaying a fully developed Progressive Power Metal style, epic and adventurous.   Jul 26, 2024

Great debut ep! Nice Death Doom elements to the mostly Prog Metal style.   Jul 26, 2024

Warning were just starting to break free of their boring Trad Doom shackles here. Patrick's voice is not perfected, yet he crafts some very impressive and power vocal lines dripping with emotion; ditto for the lyrics. The music, unfortunately, doesn't keep up. Usually, it is still stuck on boring Trad Doom tropes and not effective at evoking emotion. But, certainly, hints of their future greatness were on display...   Jul 17, 2024

Now this is a fun album with a few memorable and unique tracks in the style of Rammstein. The problem is, they just don't go quite far enough. There's a lot of potential here that they could capitalize on.   Jul 17, 2024

A unique mix of Death Metal, Sludge, Metalcore... done quite well. Mid-tempo and weighty.   Jul 17, 2024

Another solid Blackened Speed release from Bewitched, same quality as the previous material, same good riffs and energy.   Jul 17, 2024

There's some really cool and dark stuff on here, but there's also monotonous tomfoolery, and it ends particularly weak. If they trimmed this it could be quite a strong album, but it remains inconsistent.   Jul 17, 2024

Acid Drinker's short run of semi decent albums comes to a close. This one is mostly heavy Metal with hints of Thrash and Groove, and some other odd influences as well.   Jul 17, 2024

Not Metal of any kind, but poor Experimental Rock. Purposeless.   Jul 16, 2024

Really boring Sludge where the gimmick is to split each song into two parts for absolutely no reason.   Jul 16, 2024

Total madness. Interesting at times but not a pleasant listen by any means.   Jul 16, 2024

I thought this was crap the first time I heard it, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. Some great compositions here, strong atmosphere and melodies. Would have been really great with real, normal drumming. I don't mind programmed drums, but these don't sound great, the blast beating/cybergrind-esque sections being particularly egregious.   Jul 16, 2024

Unholy close out their career with probably their best record, featuring more clean female vocals and surreal, ominous atmosphere. Career highlights ...Of Tragedy and Wanderer are the best they ever wrote, but other songs fall into unpleasant meandering at times.   Jul 16, 2024

Windham Hell have always been a bit of a mess, and this, their swansong, is no different. Wild and entertaining passages featuring great guitarwork and impressive drumming are stitched together with no sense of progression or songwriting whatsoever, and featuring nothing in the way of memorability save for how strange it all is.   Jul 16, 2024

This one grew on me. Nothing stood out at first, but upon repeated listens, you find just about every song has low-key but very well crafted riffs, very good vocals as well.   Jul 12, 2024

Thrash Metal? Ah... no. Weird mix of Alternative Metal and a variety of other styles. Not bad, not great. Fails to stand out much despite the weird eclecticism on display here, but closer "Tyyssija" is a great track.   Jul 12, 2024

Really weird collection of covers and some original material. Some in the band's already bizarre and varied style, and some just... really out there. Not terrible, but... the sense of humor here really turns me off.   Jul 12, 2024

More annoying circus metal. Not sure why every Avant-Garde Metal band feels the need to be goofy beyond belief. t's a shame too, because some of the Symphonic Death Metal present here would be great if they took it seriously.   Jul 12, 2024

Super underrated Grind band, they deserve more love and recognition. Tons of great riffs here and a variety in rhythm section as opposed to mindless blast beats.   Jul 12, 2024

Truly crushing and depressive Funeral Doom. Atmosphere, riffs, even some occasionally interesting rhythms. Fantastic debut.   Jul 12, 2024

Heavy, violent, and rancid. Borders on Brutal Death Metal at times. Shallow, but crushing.   Jul 12, 2024

More Speed Metal than Power Metal, Vientos De Guerra is a solid album with plenty of great drumming and good riffs as well. It does lack anything to let it beat out better Speed Metal albums though.   Jul 12, 2024

Pretty much on par with the previous album, don't understand why this one doesn't get any love.   Jul 12, 2024

Decent album from MacAlpine, leaning a bit more towards cheesy AOR at times. This isn't a negative for me, but the album doesn't pull the style off well enough to warrant any higher marks, and lacks energy at times.   Jul 12, 2024

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.   3 days ago

Great classic album with incredible songs like "The Evil That Men do","Moonchild" or "The Clairvoyant".   Mar 4, 2025

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.   3 days ago

Very good album by Dream Theater. As always   Mar 4, 2025

Very good album by Heavenly   Mar 4, 2025

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
