A well-rounded effort, bookended by stellar tracks. Even the weakest songs are good enough to play in regular rotation.   Mar 20, 2022

I've noticed that later Nightwish frequently borrows riffs from this album. Pretty telling that this is what they still aspire to sound like.   Mar 20, 2022

level 2 silvernexus   95/100
Emerald Sword is amazing. The remade version of Land of Immortals is stellar. I'd argue better than the original. And, since this is the version that made it to the "Tales of the Emerald Sword Saga" compilation, I assume the band felt so too. Where Dragons Fly is solid, though it lacks the oomph of the other two. But considering the quality of the other two, that's some stiff standards to be compared against.   Mar 20, 2022

The Unforgiving
level 2 silvernexus   85/100
The first time I listened to most of these songs, I went "meh", but several of them have since grown on me. Some songs, such as Lost and Sinead, are very dependent on my mood whether I want to listen to them or not. Even the weaker songs are listenable, and as a whole the album puts forth a consistent effort.   Mar 20, 2022

Inhuman Rampage

All the songs kinda blend together here, barring Trail of Broken Hearts. They all sound rather similar. I was proud of myself back in the day when I could tell them apart in the first 10-15 seconds. Probably the album that sent me toward listening to power metal.   Feb 9, 2021

I remember really liking this back when I first got it. I've since moved on for the most part, having found better stuff. I did re-add Soldiers of the Wasteland to my music rotation; no regrets there.   Feb 9, 2021

Magnificent Stumbled across The Raven Child on YouTube one day, and went "OMG this is amazing", and ended up borrowing a copy from the library. Fantastic album.   Feb 9, 2021

Symphony of Enchanted Lands
level 2 silvernexus   90/100
It's got the quintessential power metal song, Emerald Sword. I also really enjoy Wisdom of the Kings, Wings of Destiny, and Symphony of Enchanted Lands. The sore thumb of the album is Beyond the Gates of Infinity. It just feels off, and I've pulled it from my music rotation. Heroes of the Lost Valley is (I guess) a song, and I never ended up putting it in my rotation to begin with.   Feb 9, 2021

level 2 silvernexus   90/100
Its got highs and lows. In particular, Octavarium is fantastic. This is somewhat counteracted by I Walk Beside You. LaBrie sounds like he's forcing the notes to sing in that key signature, and it ends up sounds dissonant. The other tracks vary from listenable to skippable.   Feb 9, 2021

level 2 silvernexus   95/100
Some of these songs are absolutely timeless. I've known the lyrics to Scarred for years and I *still* sing that one in the shower. The weakest songs are still fine, but they feel like so much less than the best ones; the best songs on this are just that good.   Feb 9, 2021

Picked up a former display copy real cheap. Not their best work, but still solid. The better tracks seem to be frontloaded, indicating either a difference in opinion on which tracks are good or a poor choice in spacing them out.   Feb 9, 2021

헬로윈 감마레이로 입문한 저로썬 메탈 장르에 뜸해질때가 많았는데, 간만에 이런 엘범을 처음부터 끝까지 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다. 멜로디면 멜로디 구성이면 구성 정신없이 40분여가량이 순삭되는 경험을 했습니다. 파워메탈 장르가 이렇게 잘 살아있구나 하는 감동 받았습니다.. 메탈이 생소한 아내도 좋아하고 자주 듣네요 ㅎ   Mar 13, 2025

level 8 FOAD   70/100
자기복제에 빠진 프록메탈의 제왕. 삼십년의 세월을 거스를 수 는 없었는지 노력한 티는 많이 드러나나 성공적이었다고는 볼 수 없다. 존의 기타도 차력쑈 이상은 보여주지 못하고 있고 특히 포트노이는 익숙하고 반복적인 패턴의 드럼 필인만을 남발하여 곡에 전혀 도움이 되지 못하고 있다. 다음 작품이 제왕의 운명을 결정하지 않을까 싶다.   Mar 2, 2025

Beneath the Remains
level 20 똘복이   90/100
거칠기 그지없던, 정말 올드 블랙틱하기까지 했던 초창기의 사운드가 원시성과 야만성을 충분히 살린 채 정제된 3집. 이들의 명반에 들어가야 한다는 데엔 이견이 없다. 듣다보면 3집까지의 시간동안 이들에게도 여유와 관록이 붙었음을 연주력에서 확실히 느낄 수 있다. 아울러 아직까지는 타협치 않는다는 어떠한 고집도 느끼게 된다. 추억이 방울방울하네.   Mar 2, 2025

Appetite for Destruction
level 20 똘복이   90/100
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

단순하면서도 공격적인 이들만의 음악은 사운드를 제외하고서라도 어찌보면 로블랙스럽다고 할 수는 있겠다. 유럽의 그것과는 결이 다른, 차갑고 끈적끈적한 뱀의 혓바닥같은 리프와 사운드.   Mar 1, 2025

전작에서 네오 클래시컬·프로그레시브 메탈 계에서 길이 남을 최고작을 만들어 낸 후 발매된 본 작품은 전 작에 비해 보다 모던 헤비니스를 적극적으로 수용하여 보다 헤비해진 사운드를 담고 있어 SX의 후기작 스타일의 작품들과 기존 작품을 이어주는 과도기적 앨범입니다. 셀프 타이틀의 존재감이 대단하지만 다른 트랙들도 양질의 완성도를 지니고 있습니다.   Mar 1, 2025

helloween의 앤디를 연상케하는 보컬에 단단한 사운드가 인상적. 다만 귀를 사로잡는 멜로디라인이 부족하고 한결같은 보컬 창법과 기타톤 덕에 트랙들이 전부 비슷하게 들린다   Mar 2, 2025
