So I'm learning crust punk can get really heavy. Rate Your Music is krazy about this album and, yeah, it's really good. It's also sludge, but I love the underground lo fi punk scene feeling that come from this.   Jan 29, 2024

Blue is better than orange - I've learned. The guitars are more beautiful. Also, this is classic Meshuggah, which is always welcome on my stereo.   Jan 29, 2024

I loved Edge of the Earth, and the airy & dreamy post-metal guitar parts on this album are great. Some parts I find kind of mediocre. Unfortunately some phony tough guy vocal parts here & there had me facepalming. This release is a mix of negative & positive for me, but still slightly on the positive side.   Jan 29, 2024

Good music and the production really lets the rich sound through. The vocals are just somewhat good to my ear. This rocks pretty hard but really poppy moments dominate, which might turn off some metalheads.   Jan 29, 2024

I had a djent & math Wednesday, and this was the day's highest point. Also, what the heck happened to all these members since 2011? Anyway, I keep coming back to this album - it has an eclectic mix that works beautifully and feels like a perfect natural match. I even found myself loving the jazz. Everything feels expertly played and evocative. Great work.   Jan 29, 2024

This is so dense, it's a bit of a challenge... in a good way. I'll need to listen many more times to repair the scrambling of my brain. The instrumentation is insane. Respect for this virtuoso band and their possibly untranslatable track titles.   Jan 24, 2024

Good mood, excellent D.I.Y. album cover. Good energy and playing.   Jan 24, 2024

Holy cow! (Get it? Get it?) I like this one even more than Monolith of Inhumanity. My favorite of this deathgrind Tuesday.   Jan 24, 2024

Good deathgrind that feels as underground as you could possibly want.   Jan 24, 2024

I'm growing to love albums that combine war metal and deathgrind. So this is music like Infernal Coil but it achieves a much different effect. I really liked the whole thing. There are some 1st class head-bopping parts. Also, just wondering if the band actually thinks NYC is so dystopian at time of release... maybe it's intended for reminiscing about previous decades... just wondering.   Jan 24, 2024

Super early years of deathgrind, so I started my deathgrind Tuesday with it. This was an excellent choice. I was hoping to like it, but even so the quality of this album surprised me. Maybe it's well known that Terrorizer is a band to come to for great drumming... and now I know it too. I'm not surprised there's a band named after track 11.   Jan 24, 2024

Can someone please give out awards for band names? Anyway, this is raving mad music, and I can tell it's crafted just to drive people in a club into a sweaty frenzy. Also, I like this even more than baby shark. EVEN MORE!!!111oneone   Jan 24, 2024

There are some great polar opposite vibes that this album switches between (meaning there are savage freakouts and there are sentimental parts as well). Sass might be unknown to a lot of us, so I'm glad to recommend this one, even though I'm in it for the cybergrind.   Jan 24, 2024

My favorite discovery from my cybergrind Monday. This gets my blood pumping. A bit of oldschool industrial influence shows up a couple of times, and it just makes it an even richer album. I'm eager to get deeper into Drumcorps's discography soon.   Jan 24, 2024

I really admire this artist's ethos of pay-what-you-want releases. This album is short, sweet, and it scrambles your brain in the best of ways.   Jan 24, 2024

I started my cybergrind Monday in style with a great album by Genghis Tron. I like this one slightly more than Dream Weapon. Board Up the House does make some pronounced shifts between those genres, keeping it interesting yet cohesive with a well-chosen track order. Also, it's mostly very harsh & heavy. Metalheads, give it a try.   Jan 24, 2024

The perfect album cover! Also the skeleton delivers some captivating melodies on that accordion. The songwriting is a great example of being just long enough; they all build up emotion increasingly and deliver very emotional releases by their end, even if the melodic structure might be simple. Then they all end at the perfect moment. Also, just learn Cyrillic OK?   Jan 24, 2024

Squeaky cute vocals followed by death growls? Somehow Violet Cold makes things like this work, and this album is full of interesting highlights & intense emotions. It was also fantastic for a sunny frozen walk today.   Jan 22, 2024

Well, the title makes sense, but the music is so focused on heaviness that son structure and musical ideas feel omitted. OK, I was laughing during Satan's Ice Cream Truck, but as a whole it's just a so-so release.   Jan 22, 2024

Excellent melancholic melodies throughout this powerful record. The vocalist often switches into this defiant tone that adds great variety and helps give the album form and the sense of a plotline. I loved the whole thing.   Jan 22, 2024

Cool new artist. It feels like he's just starting out, which is probably the plain truth. This album starts off so-so but gets better and better. The brooding mood and feeling of destroyed surroundings grow pretty strong.   Jan 22, 2024

I love this band's style. Very good album here, but their 2023 release is in another tier.   Jan 22, 2024

I knew these guys were famous, and now I know what they sound like. Pretty good to my ear. I can tell they have tons of ardent fans. Maybe with a different album I'll be able to hear what they hear.   Jan 22, 2024

I keep playing this short-but-sweet album, and keep liking it more & more, maybe even more than Solar Soul. Nice use of symphonic elements. Also, I didn't know they went industrial this early. Excellent music.   Jan 22, 2024

Overflowing with passion. I do wish the vocals had more variety, but the whole album still slaps. I also recommend seeking out the live bonus track.   Jan 19, 2024

It's half covers and half original material, and there's a mix of quality here, but when it comes to the choruses the songs really shine. The Heart cover (track 9) is the high point. They improved Journey's Separate Ways by eliminating the corniness (though the lyrics still don't make sense). Other highlights for me are tracks 6, 8, and 12.   Jan 19, 2024

There's a lot of good points about this album. However, its a constant barrage of singing parts hurrying in one after another, sometimes edited to overlap to smash them even closer. It gets incessant and destroys the variety that exists in the instrumental composition. This drags it down from a 75 to a 70 for me.   Jan 19, 2024

Another great album by Malist, though As I Become Darkness is better. So his last album was anti-war, this one is about scorched earth, and now he has relocated to the Czech Republic. Let's draw overwhelmingly obvious political conclusions.   Jan 19, 2024

Good stuff by Beherit here, and it's just a demo.   Jan 19, 2024

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   7 days ago

그저 한결같이 아름답다. 이들 최고작이라 해도 무관.   Apr 4, 2024

레드제플린의 천국으로 가는 계단과 함께 고딩때 많이 즐겨 즐었던 앨범이다.... 특히 기타 소리가 너무 감미로웠다....   Apr 6, 2024

퀸 앨범 중 a night at opera와 더불어 제일 좋아하는 앨범이다. 메탈 팬도 들으면 생각보다 센 곡도 있다. 1LP 버전들은 길이 때문에 2, 5,10,11이 줄어서 들어갔다. 총 53분이면 음질에 영향받을 것 같지 않은데 말이다. 그래서인지 2015년에 2lp 버전도 발매했다. 1,12 진짜 좋고 12번 같은 경우에는 종종 락 보컬들이 커버하는 영상을 많이 볼 수 있다.   Apr 6, 2024

인플레임스의 마지막 명작   Apr 6, 2024

짧지만 아주 강력하다   Apr 12, 2024

Personally, I have always liked Sonata Arctica, and the new album is one of the best that the band has released in the last 10 years.   Apr 13, 2024

아름답고 부드럽다. 복잡한 구성의 멜로디가 유려하게 이어져 빗물처럼 시냇물처럼 아름다운 흐름을 이루어내고 있다. 음질과 드럼의 아쉬움을 제외한다면 최고의 앨범이다. 88점.   Apr 13, 2024

블랙모어가 딥퍼플에서 나와서 좋은 것은 rainbow식 음악도 들을 수 있게 되었다는 점이다. 아주 아주 특이한 감성을 갖고 있는 사람이다. 아주 헤비한 락이면서도 부분 부분 포크적인 느낌도 있고 쓰잔함도 갖고 있다. 당대의 3대장하고는 다른 맛을 느낄 수 있다. 1,4,6이 대표곡. 3번은 quatarmass 9번은 yardbirds 커버곡이다. 희한하게 LP의 양면 라벨이 바뀐 것도 있다.   Apr 16, 2024

내가 바라는 프로그레시브메탈 그 자체. 부드러움, 날뛰는 에너지, 서정성, 테크니컬함 모든것을 갖추었다. 드림씨어터 3집과 함꼐 주관적인 프로그레시브메탈 최고작. 94점.   Apr 16, 2024

리치가 베이스를 1–3, 6를 연주했다. 그 외의 스튜디오는 밥 데이즐리 연주. 어렸을 때에는 1,5를 굉장히 좋아했었는데 문제는 5를 라센 시기에는 듣질 못했었다. 지금은 오히려 4번 같은 곡이 애청곡이 되었다. 앨범으로 기준으로도 1,2집보다 더 좋아했던 기억이 있다. 8번은 역시나 디오의 또 다른 보컬 맛을 느끼기 좋은 곡. 디오 재적시의 앨범은 영원할 것 같다.   Apr 20, 2024

3인조 코로너의 전 앨범 특히 2,3,4집을 좋아합니다. 옛날에 3집을 LP로 구입했었는데 속지에 시계, 스위스, 큰 글자로 '그로테스크' 라고 적힌 기억이.. 이후 90년대 중후반에 걸쳐서 전 앨범을 시디로 하나씩 모았죠. 30년간 신보를 안 내고 재결성 후에 아직도 활동하는 것도 특이한데, 그만큼 고정팬들이 많다는거 거겠죠.   Apr 25, 2024

MEGADETH 앨범 중 최애 앨범...첫 곡부터 내 심장은 뛰기 시작했다.   7 days ago

간만에 듣는 수작 프로그레시브 젠트 앨범. 개인적으로 프록을 좋아하지 않음에도 불구하고 리프가 살아있고 복잡한 연주보다는 분위기나 리듬이 강조되어 듣는 재미가 배가 되었다. 보컬이 그로울링이었더라면 취향 100점 짜리 앨범이 되었지 않을까라는 생각도 드는 앨범.   4 days ago

개인적으로 이 프론티어 레이블의 파란색 바탕 앨범 시리즈를 좋아한다. 분명 이제는 예전의 보컬이 아니기는 하나 오히려 터프한 면이 있는 보컬이 특색이라고 할 수 있다. 프론티어에서의 이 앨범이 나에게 엄청 좋은 느낌으로 다가온 것은 사실이다. 7번에서도 여전히 쉽지 않은 고역을 소화해준다. 라센반은 13번 곡 "First Love (Orchestral Version)"가 포함되었다.   Apr 3, 2024

이 앨범에서는 유독 드러밍이 돋보인다. 특유의 다크한 분위기에 육중한 맛도 잘 살린 사운드가 일품.   Apr 4, 2024

드림 시어터는 AI가 만든 음악같다. 어떻게 하면 음악적으로 가장 큰 카타르시스를 느낄 수 있는 지, 치밀하게 계산되어 만들어진 음악   Apr 5, 2024

Paranoid, 그리고 마블영화때문에 더 익숙해진 Iron Man...이렇게 이 앨범은 클래식이 되었다.   Apr 6, 2024

그 놀라웠던 firepower 보다 더 끝내주는 앨범을 뽑아냈다니.... 노장밴드에 대한 존경심이 더해진 가산점이 없다고는 할 수 없지만... 가산점을 더하면 130점은 되는걸?   Apr 6, 2024
