Oceanborn
preview  Nightwish preview  Oceanborn (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
32 for all time on this website? It's great, but it's not THAT great. Much improvement over the debut, and displays a wide variety of styles here, most pulled off pretty well. "Walking in the Air" is a very pleasant surprise.   Jan 26, 2024

Great, great album that is unfortunately brought far down by the worst track the band ever wrote. The rest of the material on here is some of their most creative, mixing Gothic Doom with Alt Metal, Avante-Garde Metal, and more.   Jan 26, 2024
Snake Bite Love
preview  Motörhead preview  Snake Bite Love (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Don't get why this one is so maligned, sounds just like all their other albums.   Jan 26, 2024
Formulas Fatal to the Flesh
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
To me, this was a huge step down in Morbid Angel's riff crafting ability. These songs just don't have the same hooks as before. It's all quite brutal, but not memorable. Most of it still manages to be strong, but there are also a plethora of atrocious interludes, as had become the norm for the band...   Jan 26, 2024
Sin/Pecado
preview  Moonspell preview  Sin/Pecado (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Plagued by inconsistency. Plenty of fantastic tracks, equally as many that are quite poor. Definitely worth it for the career highlights though.   Jan 26, 2024
Garage Inc.
preview  Metallica preview  Garage Inc. (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Metallica have always been good at covers, and here they display that quite well. Unfortunately, there's just too much mediocre material here. Not quite Metallica's fault, just that they chose to cover some... boring or mediocre songs. But almost every song here is at least on par with the original.   Jan 26, 2024
Chaosphere
preview  Meshuggah preview  Chaosphere (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Much of what I hate in this style of Metal is present here. Riffless, repetitive chugging. Absolutely void of emotion or feeling. Dissonance, discordance, unpleasantness.   Jan 26, 2024
Mechanical Animals
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Often hailed as his magnum opus, this album is full of hits, but also inconsistent across it's 14 tracks. Too many of them are quite bad, but the highlights are indeed phenomenal.   Jan 26, 2024
Dragon
preview  Loudness preview  Dragon (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
An atrocity of a band totally lost, without identity, experimenting directionless with no goal in mind. On the plus side, it's kind of interesting because of how wack it is.   Jan 26, 2024

Boring, even by this band's standards. The songs just go nowhere and offer little. Over and Over averts this, being catchy and having some feeling.   Jan 26, 2024
Voodoo
preview  King Diamond preview  Voodoo (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
King just does too much with his vocals on this one. He needs to tone it back. A few tracks become too cringey to enjoy. There's also gold here though, liberal Thrash and Gothic influence in these songs, "The Exorcist" being the best the band ever did.   Jan 26, 2024
Siege Perilovs
preview  Kamelot preview  Siege Perilovs (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Great album displaying the debut of Khan's vocals. Unfortunately, neither Khan nor the band had truly found their sound yet, so it's a transitional album. Regardless, underrated for what it is.   Jan 26, 2024
The Age of Mastery
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
This was a huge surprise given their prior track record. Yeah, I like this one better than the debut, by a long shot! Great record.   Jan 26, 2024
Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient Cult
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
The vocal definitely take some getting used to. But the music is really great, especially when they get doomy on penultimate track "Solitary Death in Nocturnal Woodlands."   Jan 26, 2024

Insanely heavy, dense, and evil. However, the songs do lack individual identity.   Jan 26, 2024
Something Wicked This Way Comes
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
This album saw the band start to focus on ballads between the powerful psuedo Thrash USPM tracks. Of course it's backed by a strong concept story. But, the songwriting is still lacking in places.   Jan 26, 2024

Better Than Raw
preview  Helloween preview  Better Than Raw (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
One of the band's most aggressive albums at times, after-into opener "Push" pushes the limits of how heavy this cheesy Power Metal band can get. Of course, it's also full of Pop Metal classics like "Hey Lord!"   Jan 26, 2024

I found this much weaker than the previous album. Relies purely on epic sound, and not so much in the way of fantastic classic riffage. Still a good album, but it disappointed me.   Jan 25, 2024

Immortal Pride
preview  Graveland preview  Immortal Pride (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Sacrifice for Honor is probably the best song they'd done at the time. Incorporating some Dungeon Synth influences was a strong point. Still, none of the band's albums have truly impressed me.   Jan 25, 2024
Knights of the Cross
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Without a doubt the strongest album they had released at the time. It's powerful, aggressive, yet catchy, and also an entertaining concept album. Despite having a few of the band's peak tracks, it also has scattered poorer tracks as well, in fact opening the album with a dreadful 2+minute intro. So, it lacks front to back playability.   Jan 25, 2024
Embrace the Emptiness
preview  Evoken preview  Embrace the Emptiness (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Meaty Funeral Doom that focuses more on old-school Death Doom riffs than standard Funereal atmospherics. Good stuff.   Jan 25, 2024
The Dark Discovery
preview  Evergrey preview  The Dark Discovery (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Phenomenal dark Prog Metal, with Gothic and Power Metal undertones. Full of passion, energy, and melancholy. Nearly perfect debut, not sure why it receives middling reviews!   Jan 25, 2024

Quite standard Melodeath, bordering on Gothic or folky in places, but not enough to really set it apart. Still a strong record.   Jan 25, 2024
Infinity
preview  Devin Townsend preview  Infinity (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Inconsistent and far too goofy for my liking. There are a few good ideas here, but they are overwhelmed by the seemingly random experimentation and directionless density.   Jan 25, 2024
The Least Successfull Human Cannonball
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Not a good record, but not nearly as bad as many make it out to be. At the very least, it definitely has some interesting and unique aspects to it, and the songs maintain a bit of Thrash energy rather than falling to total chuggy Groove. Messy, but not without merit.   Jan 25, 2024
Whisper Supremacy
preview  Cryptopsy preview  Whisper Supremacy (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Everyone complains about the vocals. Well, I much prefer this vocalist because he actually says the lyrics instead of growling indiscernibly. The music is still great, but unfortunately not nearly as good as the masterpiece BDM of the previous work.   Jan 25, 2024

level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Bolt Thrower's first drop in quality since their steady rise to power. It's still a great album, but the significant Groove Metal influence here results in Bolt Thrower's already samey songs being even more one note.   Jan 25, 2024
Into the Electric Castle: A Space Opera
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
This thing was too bloated and just not heavy enough for me. Really, there's very little focus on the "Metal" aspect, with the emphasis being placed on the theater-esque performances and concept. That would be fine, if any of the performances were particularly memorable, but most often they aren't, and have trouble keeping my attention for these long runtimes.   Jan 25, 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

Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
level 13 metalnrock   100/100
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

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.   Apr 29, 2024

100점을 준 이유는 스콜피온스 전체 경력에서 70년대를 절대 빼지 말아야 한다고 생각하기 때문이고 혹여나 스튜디오 앨범까지 모을 사람이 아니고 그래도 난 80년대가 좋아 라는 사람들에게 베스트 앨범으로 꼭 사라고 하고 싶은 앨범이다. 한 때 이 앨범 참 구하기 어려웠는데 이제는 리마스터도 나왔기에 구하기 어렵지 않다. rudolf는 2-1인트로, 2-5 세컨 솔로.   Apr 9, 2024

오늘 하루 지쳤거나 우울한 분들께 보내는 아름다운 멜로디인 것 같습니다. 길을 잃고 헤매는 자들을 위해 어두운 밤 하늘에서 별빛을 비추는 느낌을 받은 것 같습니다만 아쉬운 건 트랙이 진행될수록 점점 앨범의 느낌이나 분위기 또한 늘어져 길 잃고 헤매는 느낌을 받았습니다. 그래도 전작이 너무 강해서 그렇지 이 앨범도 좋습니다.   Apr 9, 2024
