Gets boring a little bit too fast. Definitely a front-loaded album, although I have to admit that those good songs are legit fantastic.   Feb 7, 2022

Pretty good. Sounds like what you would expect from instrumental djent albums.   Feb 7, 2022

Pretty cheesy, but I think that's the charm of this album too.   Dec 11, 2021

Certainly a super respectable album, and this is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy metalcore that much. Djent element mixes in really well, packing the album with very solid punches.   Nov 23, 2021

There's something about the speed of this album that hits the dopamine switch. Can't exactly pinpoint every element, but thunderous vocal flow is certainly one of them. I really love it when the vocal ravishes my eardrums.   Nov 23, 2021

No, just no. What is this chorus? What the fuck is that catastrophic pre-chorus? Why the hell this song ends like this? This sucks.   Nov 16, 2021

I think I'm properly learning Black Metal because this sounds like some of the greatest shit I've ever heard   Oct 10, 2021

A crazy good Alternative Metal album touched with pretty ridiculous touches from other genres. I mean, I think I can make a musical number out of Question!, or a party dance song out of Radio / Video (probably their Armenian root speaking up). All these hilarity without losing a single bit of heaviness. Every track is notable, but don't miss out on Question! because I think this is even more dope than B.Y.O.B.   Oct 10, 2021

In the Court of the Dragon is the worst track- mixing blunders undermine the quality of this track and the track itself isn't even that good. However, Trivium dishes out some of the best tracks of their career thereafter. Such cuts include A Crisis of Revelation, The Shadow of the Abattoir, and The Phalanx. What really stops me from giving a higher score is that even those songs are not free from production blemishes. (+vocals in the chorus of Feast of Fire is weird)   Oct 10, 2021

It seems like either their taste of mixing got significantly worse over time, or they can no longer afford proper sound engineering. The song structure itself is fine, and the insane drum part at the end is remarkable. However, it is mixed like there is a thin veil of plastic wrapping the song itself (and noticeably flat, in addition to that). I only heard this before properly listening to the new album, so this is really worrying.   Oct 9, 2021

Synth-driven part drags on a little bit for my taste but damn, that breakdown goes hard AF   Oct 7, 2021

Black Metal has always been in the backlog of my playlists- These kind of albums are the reason why it will change forever. While reminding me of how old school black metals 'should' feel (quotation because I can't come up with more appropriate word), Dissection laces in an additional layer of melodic guitars. The result is truly magical. Every track is notable, but please listen to Night's Blood if you have no time.   Oct 7, 2021

A well-crafted Black Metal album laced with African-American music. Gospel + soul elements which are found everywhere sets this album apart from ordinary albums. Furthermore, this album is political and anguished at its heart; it came out in 2020, with song titles like Tuskegee and I Can't Breathe. This further strengthens emotional impact of screams, such as the last scream from Tuskegee.   Oct 4, 2021

Melodies can be too sweet, but certainly a fun listen. I cannot verify this but I believe this kind of danceable, electronica-infused pop metal bands are direct ancestors of modern hyper-pop music, a la Dorian Electra. So bonus point for that too.   Oct 4, 2021

What seems to be an overlooked Melodic Death classic- with a hint of Black Metal. The moment where tremolo chorus transitions into melodic guitar solo in Deathmask Divine is a prime example of this, and the parts like this really makes the album enjoyable. Plus, cymbals are crisp as fuck and truly delightful to listen to. Notable songs are 'What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse' and 'Deathmask Divine'.   Oct 4, 2021

Moment is, without a single doubt, a very well made album. As reviewers before me said, guitar solos are absolutely banging. However, to me, some songs do not sound distinguishable from songs from other albums. I don't remember this song from Charact- oh, it is from Moment. Maybe this is because I'm not that big of a DT fan. Huge respect to them for being this consistently good, regardless.   Oct 1, 2021

The whole album sounds uninspired. Surgical Steel (which came out 8 years ago- time flies so fucking fast) was full of exciting moments, but I highly doubt that I would give more spins on this album.   Sep 26, 2021

Kinda mid but it retains DT's own charm.   Sep 25, 2021

Everything good about power metal with prog taste, concentrated in one album. Spread Your Fire, and The Shadow Hunter are two of the best songs I've ever heard (and probably will ever hear). I love how The Shadow Hunter divides this album into two parts: more power metal part and more prog metal part.   Sep 25, 2021

30th Anniversary remaster update - Acoustic lines on the start of One and To Live Is to Die sound pristine as hell. Bass Drum sounds less like it is recorded with TR-808. Lastly, you can actually hear bass lines. So songs sound more moist, but with the same brutalism of the original. The best Metallica album definitely. As a notable highlight, riff switchups in ...And Justice for All hits me way harder after a decade.   Sep 23, 2021

Every song except for Don't Look Too Far composes a perfect soundscape of despair.   Sep 6, 2021

Return to form with some unbelievably corny songs.   Jul 15, 2021

Haven't heard this album in a while but wow, this is bad. After 8 years, this aged like a parody of metal itself. People really crowned this kind of shit and wondered why metal is not mainstream anymore, huh?   Jul 15, 2021

An absolute masterpiece of mid-tempo thrash, and it's a shame that an album with this degree of finesse is not talked about much. Matt's vocal is gorgeous, and wraps up the instrumental parts so well. Lyrics to the chorus of 'Eternal Empire' is a little bit head-shaking, though. ('No kingdom, empire'? Are we serious?)   Jul 3, 2021

I've heard this kind of sound hundreds of times. Really nothing special, without Matt's vocal. At least it sounds good.   Jul 3, 2021

This sounds like 'life blows so I'll hit the boof and vibe' album. Y'know, it's good and all, and probably less emotionally draining for him and ultimately I can't care less if he's doing good. But I want more 'life blows and I want to die' albums in my playlist. Like 'The Raven That Refused to Sing'. That bites.   May 16, 2021

A lot of years passed and this album doesn't sound like it's dated.   Apr 12, 2021

I can't fully comprehend what is going on but damn this is some hot shit just like when you get high on caffeine while being manic and you feel so many and you write down your ideas and work on it then boom it's the most immaculate shit I've ever done and both your angel and demon on your shoulders are proud of you. You don't get it? Good.   Apr 12, 2021

My personal problem is that this album does not flow very well. Each individual song is as good as ones in Dirt or In Utero, but it feels like each song bleeds into one another at some point (not in a good way like What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, that album is so smooth). However, Layne's vocal here is goddamn perfect; it is painful to hear him crying out. So that compensates, somehow.   Nov 15, 2020

군터 베르노의 부재가 오히려 곡의 diversity가 증가하는 방향으로 귀결되어 조금 변화된 VP를 느낄수있다. 그 와중에 코어는 전혀 흔들리지 않고 너무나 탄탄한 장르의 전형을 보여주는 뛰어난 앨범이다. 이들 특유의 늘어짐이 가끔은 지루하기도 하지만, 이정도 내공에 이정도 앨범을 찍어내는 이들은 결코 없으므로, 이제 당연히 명예의 전당에 입성해야 한다.   May 10, 2024

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다.   May 7, 2024

드디어 이들의 약점이었던 절제된 기타솔로가 어느정도 해금되었습니다. 지난 앨범도 만족스러웠는데 역시나 이번에도 실망하지 않게 해주네요. 나이가 들어감에 따라 내가 좋아하는 밴드들도 하나둘씩 늙어가고 멤버들도 세상을 떠나는 걸 보니 매우 슬프네요. 반덴플라스는 계속 음악활동 왕성히 해주었으면 좋겠습니다   May 8, 2024

너무 탄탄하다. 40년 가까이 축적된 음악성이 드러난 앨범...연주, 곡 구성, 녹음 등 나무랄 부분이 없다.   May 10, 2024

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   May 10, 2024

천재라 불렸던 자들은 진짜 총기가 불을 뿜는 때가 있다. 이시절의 나가쉬가 그랬다. 전작과 너무 다른 이앨범으로 전작에 버금가는 놀라운 사운드를 만들어냈다. 일렉트로니카와 익스트림을 섞어 부대찌개처럼 절묘한 융합의 새로운 맛을 냈다. 이렇게 세기말을 통과했던 이들은 너무 빨리 미래로 넘어갔다. 25년이 넘어도 여전히 미래적이다.   May 14, 2024

이때의 모습을 그리워하는 건 나뿐이진 않을 듯...   May 16, 2024

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   5 days ago

Absolute crushing, heavy as fuck!   May 3, 2024

이름값에 걸맞는 앨범. 특히 유럽 내에서 그들의 인기는 타의 추종을 불허한다. 처음부터 끝까지 단단한 구성과 강력한 연주가 여전하다. 하지만 들은 후 이렇다할 임팩트나 싱글지향적 멜로디 부재의 한끝이 아쉽다.   May 5, 2024

개인적으로 이 앨범을 그렇게 좋아하지 않는다. 이 앨범이야 말로 방향성이 애매했던 프로듀싱과 작곡으로 생각보다 안좋네 라고 생각했던 앨범. 물론 메탈 갓이 주다스의 시그니쳐로 쓰이기는 한데 이 곡도 애매하다. 브레이킹 더 로나 리빙도 맘에 안들고 물론 관중과 싱어롱할때는 좋긴 하다고 생각은 하지만 말이다. 75-80점.6번 8번이 의외로 좋다.   May 8, 2024

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   May 12, 2024

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   May 12, 2024

이 앨범 그냥 시대를 관통했습니다. 2030 고독사가 늘어나고 점점 사람들과의 관계가 멀어져 가는 요즘 시대에 살아가는 우리들에게 받아야할 위로를 이 앨범이 하나의 동화처럼 들려주기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 앨범의 모티브가 된 실화는 현 우리나라의 문제점을 그대로 나타나는 게 더 소름돋습니다.   May 12, 2024

Excellent disc. Despite not surpassing its predecessor, it is a sensational album. The Last in Line is one of Dio's greatest classics.   May 14, 2024

미국 밴드를 유럽 스타일의 밴드로 만든 건 샤샤 패스의 힘이 아닐까 한다. 본격적인 이들의 전성기 시작~   May 17, 2024

락/메탈의 시대 흐름에 따른 트렌드의 변화를 가장 적나라하게 보여주는 앨범. 메탈헤드 모두가 수긍할 만한 스타일의 음악은 아니지만 당시 Slayer도 Public Enemy도 좋아했던 나에게는 최고의 앨범 중 하나였다.   May 18, 2024

이럴거면 차라리 슬레이어 새 앨범을 내시는 게...   May 18, 2024

만약 "드림시어터"의 음악으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 DT중 가장 쳐지고 가벼운 음반이 될 것이다, 만약 드림시어터의 "음악"으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 재즈,블루스 등을 잘 버무려 본인들만의 스타일을 접목시켜 만들어낸 이색적인 작품이 될 것이다. 물론 호불호가 당연히 있을것이다. 하지만 이 앨범은 망작이라는 평가를 받기에는 수려한 곡들이 가득가득 들어차있다.   May 18, 2024
