Holy Diver preview  Dio preview  Holy Diver (1983) 100/100    Mar 23, 2025
A perfect debut, perfect song material and a perfect band performance. Not a bad performance.

Strange Highways preview  Dio preview  Strange Highways (1994) 80/100    Mar 20, 2025
I think it's really underrated. It's not a masterpiece and it's not even better than the previous album, but it has its moments and in a way the album has always been interesting. The song material is at least consistent and it's a decent whole. The production is good and the heavy atmosphere fits surprisingly well. A good album.
Hate Crew Deathroll preview  Children of Bodom preview  Hate Crew Deathroll (2003) 95/100    Mar 20, 2025
Extremely good in my opinion. It's hard for me to choose the best Children Of Bodom album because in 1999-2005 they were incredibly good and only released bangers. The song material is good throughout and includes a lot of classics and mega hits. A cult classic, maybe the best melodeath album of all time?
Empire preview  Queensrÿche preview  Empire (1990) 90/100    Mar 19, 2025
A really good album. Not as good as "Operation: Mindcrime", but still a successful album. Call me crazy, but I think "Silent Lucidity" is the band's best song. The production is top notch and the band shines. Geoff Tate is as brilliant as ever. An underrated, hidden gem from 1990.

Clear Cold Beyond preview  Sonata Arctica preview  Clear Cold Beyond (2024) 90/100    Mar 18, 2025
I really like this and I think it's the band's best in 20 years. The song material is great and the playing is smooth. And above all, the band is doing what it's good at and what the audience wants to hear, which is proper power metal. Towards the end, the level drops marginally, but the beginning is so great and the whole thing is bearable that it doesn't really matter. A great album, one of the best of 2024.

Live After Death preview  Iron Maiden preview  Live After Death (1985)  [Live] 100/100    Mar 17, 2025
So, it's the best live album in history. The set list is amazing, the whole band is on the move and the audience is incredibly involved. On top of that, the cover art is amazing. "Live After Death" is just something you can't find anywhere else. Iron Maiden at their peak was unstoppable.
Come Taste the Band preview  Deep Purple preview  Come Taste the Band (1975) 80/100    Mar 16, 2025
So it's a pretty tolerable and in some ways a good album, but the most appropriate single word is "boring". The album is more funky than the previous albums and there are no "Burn"-like rushes. In addition to this, there are no real high points and the songs still sound pretty much the same after all these years. Blackmore's departure had a clear impact, still not bad, just not particularly strong compared to Purple's masterpieces.
Dehumanizer preview  Black Sabbath preview  Dehumanizer (1992) 85/100    Mar 15, 2025
Quite a good album, although I think Sabbath made a mistake in firing Tony Martin because the previous albums were clearly better. The album is really heavy and a bit slow, reminiscent of the albums from the first half of the band's career. The song material is strong in itself, there are no bad songs, but on the other hand there are no highlights either. "I" and "Computer God" are the best songs. A bit underrated perhaps, but not the band's best.
Rising preview  Rainbow preview  Rising (1976) 95/100    Mar 15, 2025
Rainbow leaves classic hard rock behind with their second album and begins to create the beginnings of the genre that would later be called power metal. The song material is practically perfect and the album features perhaps the strongest band line-up in history. The last two songs are pure masterpieces. If melodic old-school heavy metal with incredible vocal performances interests you, now you know where to look. Legendary!

Cryptic Writings preview  Megadeth preview  Cryptic Writings (1997) 75/100    Mar 14, 2025
A big disappointment after the brilliant "Youthanasia". A few good songs, such as the brilliant "Trust" and the Iron Maiden-like "She-Wolf". Otherwise, the level of the songs varies between mediocre and very weak and the album cannot be called a strong whole. Musically, it is already approaching hard rock and the whole band feels a bit lost. Not a disaster, but in my opinion, honestly one of the weakest Megadeth albums.
