Facelift
preview  Alice in Chains preview  Facelift (1990)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
Almost a 95 for me. That heavy sound, which comes from the doom metal bands for sure, is amazing. Sea of Sorrow, Bleed the Freak, Confusion, Sunshine, We Die Young and Man in the Box and the best one Love Hate Love are out of this World. Perfect debut   Jul 29, 2024
Rage Against the Machine
level 5 mhvasconcelos   95/100
Definitely one of the greatest metal albums debut of all time. All tracks are strong.   Jul 29, 2024

System of a Down
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
A great debut. Not like the nu metal vibes at the time. A good mix of oldschool metal with some funny approaches   Jul 29, 2024
Aqua
preview  Angra preview  Aqua (2010)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
Not a bad as everybody says. Great moments like "Lease of Life", "Arising Thunder", A Monster in Her Eyes". An average/okay album, given their context at the time.   Jul 29, 2024
Hunters and Prey
preview  Angra preview  Hunters and Prey (2002)  [EP]
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
This EP is a kind of continuation of Rebirth, but a bit more experimental, as we can see in the tracks "Caça e Caçador" and "Mama". The most Rebirth-like song is "Eyes of Christ", one of the highlights of the EP. The acoustic version of Rebirth is great, but Heroes of Sand not so much. All in all, a great EP. Best One: Eyes of Christ; Not the best: Mama   Jul 29, 2024
Wolf's Return
preview  Grand Magus preview  Wolf's Return (2005)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   70/100
They lost that doom metal touch in this work, but the work is not a lot more than average. Maybe they were trying to find themselves in the genre. However, like pretty much all of the band's albums, it's not a bad experience. Every single one of their works is kind of enjoyable at some point, but this is average. Best ones: Nine; Bad ones: Blood Oath; Wolf's Return;   Jul 28, 2024
Monument
preview  Grand Magus preview  Monument (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
It's a enjoyable doom metal album. Analyzing it coldly, it's just a good album, nothing more. The first track "Ulvaskall (Vargr)" is excellent. The rest, just good. It's very difficult to make a doom metal album without sounding monotonous (I'm saying this as a doom metal fan). But as far as it goes, Grand Magus does a good job here. Best ones: Ulvaskall (Vargr)   Jul 28, 2024
XIII
preview  Mushroomhead preview  XIII (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
A good album. Amazing tracks like "Sun Doesn't Rise", "Kil Tomorrow", the long "Destroy the World Around Me". But that's about it. "Our Own Way" also deserves a mention. Good mix of new metal stuff with heavy riffs. The other not-so-great songs don't detract from the experience. Some good moments in them too.   Jul 27, 2024

The Battle of Los Angeles
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The album starts off on fire with hit after hit, falls off a bit on "Mic Check", but comes back with two bombs: "Sleep Now in The Fire" and "Born of a Broken Man". In the second half of the album, I think "Voice of the Voiceless" is a notable highlight, but that's about it. It's not better than Rage's first album, but it's probably their second best album. Best: Calm Like a Bomb Sleep Now in The Fire Born of a Broken Man Guerrila Radio Weakest: Ashes in the Fall   Jul 27, 2024
Temple of the Dog
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
A great "one album band". Temple of The Dog begins as a tribute to Andrew Wood who have been the leader of the great band "Mother Love Bone". Andy also was friend and roommate of Chris. The album is beautiful. Best ones: Four Walled World Hunger Strike Call Me a Dog Say Hello 2 Heaven Bad ones: Pushin Forward back   Jul 26, 2024
Breaking the Silence
preview  Heathen preview  Breaking the Silence (1987)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
Good for a debut. The band begins with a regular thrash metal album. Less "violent" than Slayer and other bands, but the experience is not bad. The vocals are good enough to make this work listenable. Best ones: Goblin's Blade Breaking the silence Bad ones: World's End Save the Skull   Jul 26, 2024
The Grand Illusion
preview  Styx preview  The Grand Illusion (1977)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   100/100
A great album. "Man in The Wilderness" is a masterpiece. "Grand Illusion" is amazing too. one of the best works of classic rock. Hard to choose a couple of songs to highlight. All tracks are outstanding. Perfect album   Jul 25, 2024
Canterbury
preview  Diamond Head preview  Canterbury (1983)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
Hard to define, but Canterbury is a great album. Starts out the gate with a catchy hard rock riff. "Makin Music", "The Kingmaker", "Ishmael" are amazing tracks. "To the Devi His Due" is a masterpiece, the best in the album.   Jul 25, 2024
British Standard Approved
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
I'm amazed at how this band makes strong songs that showcase the brilliance of Mal Spooner and David Hill. Even on this album that I'm not particularly a fan of. Here, the group embraces the progressive style. A great thing by the way. "Fromm the Outside" is amazing. "The Link" and "New Ground" too. This is not good as the previous albums. Nevertheless it's good one.   Jul 25, 2024
Divine Intervention
preview  Slayer preview  Divine Intervention (1994)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   65/100
I think the tracks with a number in the title and Paul Bostaph are the reasons this isn't a 60/100 album. A little of the same on all tracks. Bostaph is a monster here. A great drummer. The first track “Killing Fields” brings hope that this will be a good album, but the rest of the work does not follow Slayer's standard. "213" is great, "SS-3" and "Mind Control" are good.   Jul 25, 2024
Corridors of Power
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
The great heavy metal work by Gary Moore. "Cold Hearted", "Don't Take me for a Loser", "End of the World" with Jack Bruce vocals, besides the song "Wishing Well", a great Free cover, makes the record one of the best of the genre. The best work of Gary alongside with "Still Got The Blues".   Jul 24, 2024
To Hell with the Devil
level 5 mhvasconcelos   70/100
A regular glam metal album. Strong ones: To Hell with the Devil. The ballad “Honestly” has a good meaning and intention, so to speak, but it's regular too. "Sing Along Song" have some catchy moments but that's it.   Jul 24, 2024
Sabbath Worshipping Doom
preview  Void Tripper preview  Sabbath Worshipping Doom (2019)  [EP]

King of the Grey Islands
level 5 mhvasconcelos   75/100
Not the best of Candlemass. Two great tracks here: "Devil's Seed" and "Clearsight". The rest is normal. Although it's a good album, but not to Candlemass' standard.   Jul 23, 2024
Angels Cry
preview  Angra preview  Angels Cry (1993)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
One of the best debut albums of all time in heavy metal. The first five tracks are unbelievable. A perfect start. Along with the best version of "Wuthering Heights", the good heavy metal of "Streets of Tomorrow" and the mix of heavy metal and classical music in "Evil Warning" are outstanding   Jul 23, 2024

The Ultimate Sin
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The self-titled track is the best one in this album, but "Never Know Why" have a good hard rock riff with a great chorus. "Secret Loser" is great too also with a good chorus to sing. "Killer of Giants" is catchy too. Ozzy sounds great in "Never" by the way. A good album. Lots of catchy and memorable choruses.   Jul 23, 2024
Irreversible
preview  Black Medicine preview  Irreversible (2015)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
A great album with some killer riffs, kind of like some Rage Against The Machine things with Black Sabbath. Love it. On the other hand, the vocals could be better. Still, a 85/100 album for me. Almost 90.   Jul 23, 2024
Point of No Return
preview  Havok preview  Point of No Return (2012)  [EP]
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
Great EP. The Sepultura and Slayer covers are amazing. His own songs are also good, although I don't think any of these songs could have been on his big "Time is Up" from the previous year. Good, but it doesn't compare to the great tracks in their album.   Jul 23, 2024
Damnation
preview  Opeth preview  Damnation (2003)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   80/100
I probably like this folk-prog style more than the death metal, but i found this album a little bit of repetitive although there's some good tracks like "In My Time of Need" and " Death Whispered a Lullaby". "To Rid the Disease" is kind of intersting too. It's a good choice to dive in the psychodelic vibe of this album, but it's not outstanding enough   Jul 22, 2024

Judgement of the Dead
level 5 mhvasconcelos   85/100
The guitar riffs on this album are absolutely killer, with a heavy, hypnotic groove that will stay stuck in your head for days. "Pagan Altar" and "The Black Mass" are definitely hits of early Doom metal years, showcasing the raw energy and dark atmosphere that defined the genre.   Jul 21, 2024

Even though I love Soulfly, this is Max's best project outside of Sepultura. Combines some kind of industrial metal with the usual tribal beats and thrash metal sound. It's absolutely killer   Jul 21, 2024

Mob Rules
preview  Black Sabbath preview  Mob Rules (1981)
level 5 mhvasconcelos   90/100
Probabily a better work than Heaven And Hell, I don't know. But the power of the tracks "Country Girl" (the best Sabbath riff for me), "The Sign of the Southern Cross", "Falling of the Edge of the World" makes the record out of this world.   Jul 21, 2024

신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다.   Oct 31, 2024

85-90, 예전에 빽판으로 즐기던 음반. 운이 좋게 다시 시디로 구입하게 들어보게 되었다. 지금 이 시점에서는 좋게 들렸고 시원시원했다. 녹음은 거칠긴 하나 가끔 너무 갑갑한 믹싱이 되어 있는 메탈음반이 많은데 차라리 이런 식으로 만드는게 낫다 싶다. 1,2집도 언제인가는 구해지지 않을까 생각해본다.   Oct 30, 2024

어쿠스틱 기타, 첼로, 플루트 등을 이용하여 녹음한 어쿠스틱 사운드의 작품이다. 그러나 표현하고자 하는 사운드의 방향성 자체는 무겁고 진지하다. 멜로디가 약간 서늘한 냉기를 품고 있다. 더운 여름에 들으면 시원함을 느낄 수도 있지만 대체로 가을의 분위기에 잘 어울린다. 커버아트와 음악의 매칭이 절묘하다.   Nov 4, 2024

90-95. 이 시기의 블가 앨범들은 다 좋은 듯. hansi의 보컬을 더 느끼고 싶어서 사모으기 시작한 앨범인데 그렇다고 나랑 맞는 음악을 하는 밴드가 아닐 수 있었지만 지금까지 몇번들어본 결과는 만족스러운 행진 중이다. the eldar같은 곡은 지금의 나에게는 최고의 곡. 인트로+본곡 같은 스타일로 중복이 되는데 큰 단점같지는 않다. 조화롭게 잘 넘어갔다.   Nov 8, 2024

80-90. 메킹 커멘트를 보고 얼라이브를 베스트 대용으로 해도 된다는 의견에 2,3를 사게 되었는데 1,3에만 rock and roll all nite가 있다는 것을 다시 여기서도 알립니다. 이번에 사게된 앨범이 일본반 shm-cd 규격인데 음질이 나쁜게 아니지만 2보다는 살짝 거친게 아닌가 싶다. 아직까지는 얼라이브 시리즈+일반 스튜디오 베스트 조합으로 끝낼 생각.   Nov 6, 2024

훌륭한 데뷰. 1집을 꼭 사야 할까라는 생각으로 살다가 이제야 얻어걸린 느낌으로 사게 되었다. 물론 1집을 필수라고 여기지 않았지만 후회도 없다. 보컬이 멤버들보다 나이가 10여살 많은 걸로 기억하고 게디리의 좀 더 듣기 좋은 버전이라고 생각이 든다. 다만 믹싱이 마음에 들지 않아서 살짝 밋밋하다. 보컬과 드럼이 살짝 뒤로 간 느낌.리믹스가 절실하나 과연?   Nov 7, 2024
