Louder Than Love
preview  Soundgarden preview  Louder Than Love (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Really unremarkable Grunge/Alt Metal. It's not terrible, but there isn't a single standout track.   Nov 1, 2020
Agent Orange
preview  Sodom preview  Agent Orange (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
The slow Remember the Fallen and almost joyous Ausgebombt hurt the flow of what is otherwise one of the most perfect Thrash albums ever recorded. The rest of the tracks are non-stop war crime worthy riffage.   Nov 1, 2020
The Spooky Gloom
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
It's not perfect, but it is the first Death Doom album of all time, and it's pretty damn cool!   Nov 1, 2020
Terminal Earth
preview  Scanner preview  Terminal Earth (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Same quality as their debut. Great Speed/Power Metal. Lyrics are bad at times, but the music rocks.   Nov 1, 2020
Gutter Ballet
preview  Savatage preview  Gutter Ballet (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
This is where Savatage find their sound in my opinion. The operatics and dramatic display of emotion starts here. Melodramatic Metal at it's finest.   Nov 1, 2020

Rotting
preview  Sarcofago preview  Rotting (1989)  [EP]
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Hugely prefer this to their debut. Production is better, riffs are much better, vocals are on point, and the lyrics aren't as atrocious. Some nice atmosphere in a couple tracks as well.   Nov 1, 2020
V
preview  Saint Vitus preview  V (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   50/100
Really boring, uninspired Doom Metal. Some of the tracks try to do something slightly different, but don't really succeed at it.   Nov 1, 2020
Secrets in a Weird World
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Thrash/Heavy/Speed/Power Metal. Not as interesting as that sounds, but they do a decent job of it, and Without a Trace is an absolute masterpiece.   Nov 1, 2020
Violet Art of Improvisation
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Not Metal, certainly not Doom Metal. Really not great Ambient keyboard work and some spacy guitars.   Nov 1, 2020
Life and Death
preview  Paul Chain preview  Life and Death (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Some decent riffs here and there, but weak songwriting and vocals prevent it from being good.   Nov 1, 2020
Just for Fun
preview  Patrick Rondat preview  Just for Fun (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Generic Neoclassical Metal, leaning on the softer side. Plain Rock at times, but most of it is good.   Nov 1, 2020
Heresy
preview  Paradox preview  Heresy (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Fantastic melodic Thrash that manages to top their very strong debut. Not a single moment of weakness here, save the acoustic outro.   Nov 1, 2020

The Years of Decay
preview  Overkill preview  The Years of Decay (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Overkill find their sound here and settle for Groove-tinged Thrash, prone to go slow and go long. I preferred Overkill when they were just generic Thrash personally.   Nov 1, 2020
In Search of Sanity
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Not a bad release, but Onslaught are trying really hard to be Metallica here. They were better off being Onslaught.   Nov 1, 2020
Pretty Hate Machine
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Very humble beginnings. No metal on this release, but it's pretty heavy in some spots.   Nov 1, 2020

The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Massive improvement over the last couple albums. However, the strength is concentrated on the first couple of songs. There are some pretty weak moments throughout.   Nov 1, 2020
Blessing in Disguise
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Metal Church hits 3 runs in a row. Another Heavy/Thrash Metal album that is high quality start to finish.   Nov 1, 2020

Ozma
preview  Melvins preview  Ozma (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   50/100
Lethargic and miserable, but not in the sense that it evokes strong negative emotions. It's just not a fun release.   Nov 1, 2020

Gloom
preview  Macabre preview  Gloom (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Somehow Macabre still can't put out anything as good as their first EP. This album is silly and inconsistent. Great songs scattered amongst a ton of filler.   Nov 1, 2020
Soldier of Fortune
preview  Loudness preview  Soldier of Fortune (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Loudness take a totally westernized approach, and lose their individuality. Some great songs, but way less consistent than previous efforts.   Nov 1, 2020

Extreme Aggression
preview  Kreator preview  Extreme Aggression (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Another masterpiece on the most extreme end of Thrash from the German legends Kreator. A bit slower and more controlled than the preceding album.   Nov 1, 2020

Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Really mediocre hard rock. Not sure what separates this from the crowds.   Nov 1, 2020
Hermética
preview  Hermética preview  Hermética (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Rather mediocre Thrash and Heavy Metal, with bad production offset by some occasional killer riffs.   Nov 1, 2020
One Small Voice
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Fantastic USPM release full of deep songwriting and very melodic riffs. Like their debut, every instrument is front and center adding something to the mix.   Nov 1, 2020

In Control
preview  Heavens Gate preview  In Control (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Heavy Metal under the guise of Power Metal because it has one or two great Power Metal tracks and the whole album has a fantasy aesthetic. However, most of the material here is mediocre Heavy Metal.   Nov 1, 2020

Fabulous Disaster
preview  Exodus preview  Fabulous Disaster (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Exodus get a bit silly here and they start to lose me. Some of the most lackluster Thrash coming from one of the once-great bands.   Nov 1, 2020
When Dream and Day Unite
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Somewhat maligned in some circles (maybe because of the atrocious cover?) I find Dream Theater's debut to be a wonderful and promising beginning to the tale of Progressive Metal.   Nov 1, 2020

Legend of Darkness
preview  Dionysus preview  Legend of Darkness (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Plagued by bad production and inconsistent songwriting, but on a couple of tracks (like S.O.S.) they nail the speedy Neoclassical Heavy Metal sound.   Nov 1, 2020
Within the Heat
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Nothing new or unique, but it is another great collection of Neoclassical Metal from one of the best 80's shredders.   Nov 1, 2020
No More Color
preview  Coroner preview  No More Color (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Dark Tech Thrash without a moment less than fantastic. Coroner were already masters of their craft by now; possibly the best Tech Thrash albums of the 80's.   Nov 1, 2020

The Empyrean Equation of the long lost Things
level 7 dogrulesxxx   95/100
DT와 더불어 가장 활발한 활동을 하는 스틸 얼라이브 프록메탈 밴드로 영국의 대표밴드 스래쉬홀드와 더불어 독일을 대표하는 프록메탈밴드로 아주 훌륭한 연주력과 작곡력이 이번 앨범에도 퍼포먼스에 광을 내고 있다   May 3, 2024

The Empyrean Equation of the long lost Things
level 13 caLintZ   90/100
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

Hybrid Theory
preview  Linkin Park preview  Hybrid Theory (2000)
level 15 Stradivarius   85/100
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

level 9 ggerubum   80/100
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

British Steel

level 13 metalnrock   75/100
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

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

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

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
