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

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   Apr 25, 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.   Apr 25, 2024

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.   6 days ago

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

클린보컬과 공간감이 강조된 고딕메탈스러운 사운드.   Apr 6, 2024

80년대에 좀 너무 팝적, 상업적으로 가는 것 아닌가 하는 그 전 느낌의 앨범. 이미 70년대의 느낌과는 다른 길을 가기 시작은 했다. 1,3,6, 8,9 등 뭐 안좋은 트랙이 없다. 언제나 주의할 것이 루돌프 쉥커를 보통 리듬 섹션을 원활하게 쳐주는 명기타로만 알고 있는데 스콜피언스의 유명 발라드 등은 다 루돌프의 연주다. 8번도 그냥 미친 사람같다. 속된 말로 개멋있다   Apr 7, 2024

The importance of "Holy Diver" to the metal world cannot be underestimated. Ronnie James Dio showed the world that he is capable of conjuring up a band that makes such diamond-heavy music that weaker ones will still be horrified decades later. Thank you Ronnie James Dio. You were the biggest and the greatest and you will never be forgotten.   Apr 7, 2024

"Sacred Heart" does not quite rise to the sharpest peak of Dio's production, and on the next album "Dream Evil" we heard the band's strongest performance after the debut album "Holy Diver". However, "Sacred Heart" should not be skipped under any circumstances and it is an underrated work in terms of its best moments. If for some reason you haven't heard it yet, fans of classic heavy metal should check out the work now at the latest.   Apr 7, 2024
