A Sultan's Ransom
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Easily Cloven Hoof's best release, the band finally put down a great album with mature songwriting and gripping melodies. Nothing new here, but some great, Power Metal-tinged melodic Heavy Metal.   Nov 1, 2020
Symphonies of Sickness
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
A huge improvement over their debut, Carcass lean into meaty Death Metal riffs more than Grindcore chaos. Still, it's a very disgusting album, musically and lyrically, and really rather hard to sit through.   Nov 1, 2020
Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
An amazingly heavy OSDM album with a slew of martial pounding that doesn't relent for a minute. I'd tentatively say, while not the fastest or most extreme, it is the heaviest album of the 80's. Guitars sound thick as molasses.   Nov 1, 2020

Follow the Blind
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Another great release in the same style as their debut. Nice Thrash touches on this Speed/Power release.   Nov 1, 2020

Blood Upon the Altar
preview  Blasphemy preview  Blood Upon the Altar (1989)  [Demo]
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Some real promise here in the form of very early War Metal, but it's super rough around the edges.   Nov 1, 2020
Headless Cross
preview  Black Sabbath preview  Headless Cross (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Another really average Sabbath album. This one has some better moments than the last couple - namely "When Death Calls" and "Kill in the Spirit World" - but nothing that is really worth revisiting.   Nov 1, 2020

Hunting Time
preview  Anthem preview  Hunting Time (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
One of Anthem's best albums. Every song is fantastically energetic and melodic. Brilliant guitarwork, brilliant vocals, a total package of melodic Heavy Metal.   Nov 1, 2020

Eat the Heat
preview  Accept preview  Eat the Heat (1989)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Accept get a new vocalist, and aim for a somewhat mainstream sound. Not bad really, but it doesn't match their better output.   Nov 1, 2020
Hymn to Abramelin
preview  Messiah preview  Hymn to Abramelin (1986)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Fantastically brutal and surprisingly melodic Death Metal from the earliest stages of the genre.   Oct 14, 2020
Odyssey
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Yngwie delivers more of the same here. This one is maybe his most commercial yet. It lags behind his other albums just a bit.   Aug 17, 2020

preview  X Japan preview  Vanishing Vision (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Raw Speed Metal from the metal masters of Japan. This didn't have much of their trademark melodicism and balladry, but it did have some really intense aggression and energy. They make up for their lack of experience with pure willpower.   Aug 17, 2020

Who Are the True?
preview  Vulcano preview  Who Are the True? (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Somehow, Vulcano, who delivered one of the best 1st wave Black Metal albums ever, have gotten much, much worse with every consistent release. The music on this is almost unlistenable due to the atrocious production.   Aug 17, 2020
Dimension Hatröss
preview  Voivod preview  Dimension Hatröss (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
The music is awesome here, but Snake opted for a much less aggressive and more lethargic punk croon so he can hit notes. It sounds incredibly unenthused, and really drags the album down for me.   Aug 17, 2020

Age of Consent
preview  Virgin Steele preview  Age of Consent (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Cringe metal, but played very competently, and there are moments of truly awesome melodies.   Aug 17, 2020
Time Odyssey
preview  Vinnie Moore preview  Time Odyssey (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Vinnie slows it down here and adds a ton of layered, New Age atmospherics. Works wonderfully on beauties like As Time Slips By, but there are some dips where it gets boring.   Aug 17, 2020
The New Order
preview  Testament preview  The New Order (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Polished and clean Thrash from Testament. Not incredibly heavy or energetic though, so it doesn't quite sate that Thrash thirsting. Great album all the same.   Aug 17, 2020

The Morning After
preview  Tankard preview  The Morning After (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Thrash not taken seriously at all. The music suffers as the band clearly are just having fun.   Aug 17, 2020
Ultramega OK
preview  Soundgarden preview  Ultramega OK (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
Really boring and inconsistent, mostly grunge material.   Aug 17, 2020
Savage Amusement
preview  Scorpions preview  Savage Amusement (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Scorpions shed their metal skin here. Hard rock at best, anthemic but not powerful.   Aug 17, 2020
Destiny
preview  Saxon preview  Destiny (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Saxon go full AOR for the strongest tracks on this release, and ironically, the weaker tracks are them trying to retain a shred of their metal cred. They nail the AOR sound.   Aug 17, 2020
Refuge Denied
preview  Sanctuary preview  Refuge Denied (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Strong, thrashy Heavy Metal with some slight prog touches as well. Very consistent throughout.   Aug 17, 2020

Mournful Cries
preview  Saint Vitus preview  Mournful Cries (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Much like Born Too Late, Saint Vitus continue playing metal slow and lethargic enough to be called Doom, with absolutely none of the atmosphere, emotion, or compelling lyrics of any kind.   Aug 17, 2020
Port Royal
preview  Running Wild preview  Port Royal (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Slight improvement over Under Jolly Roger, most songs are speedy and powerful. Really starting to embrace the pirate theme here.   Aug 17, 2020
ThunderSteel
preview  Riot preview  ThunderSteel (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Riot's rebirth in a way, where they totally change everything up and play Power Metal. The speedy tracks are great, but the slower ones leave a lot to be desired.   Aug 17, 2020
Perfect Man
preview  Rage preview  Perfect Man (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
One of Rage's less impressive albums. There's nothing bad here, but the band would reach much greater heights soon. Generic Power/Speed/Thrash.   Aug 17, 2020
Power Metal
preview  Pantera preview  Power Metal (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Pantera's first transitional album. Most of it is still mediocre Heavy Metal, but there are definitely sparks of greatness here and there.   Aug 17, 2020
No Rest for the Wicked
level 12 SilentScream213   60/100
Ozzy's most laid back album up to this point. At least The Ultimate Sin had Shot in the Dark, but this album doesn't have any standout tracks.   Aug 17, 2020

A Distant Thunder
preview  Helstar preview  A Distant Thunder (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Wonderful blend of Heavy/Power Metal with influences abound, from Speed Metal, to Tech Thrash, to Prog Metal. Songwriting here is peak form, playing is technical and impressive but they still leave room for anthemic chorus and brilliant hooks.   Aug 17, 2020

Battalions of Fear
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Underrated debut from Power Metal legends Blind Guardian is primarily Speed Metal with a healthy dose of Thrash riffs here and there. Great stuff, nice and aggressive but very melodic.   Aug 17, 2020

Under the Influence
preview  Overkill preview  Under the Influence (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Every song contains really great fast moments, and really mediocre mid-paced moments. Unfortunately that makes every song kind of inconsistent, despite them all having some great material as well.   Aug 16, 2020

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

level 13 녹터노스   90/100
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

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

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

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

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.   7 days ago
