Escape to Nowhere
preview  Omen preview  Escape to Nowhere (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Omen's misstep. All their previous albums were great US Power Metal, but this was a flop. A more commercial sound with a weaker vocalist and much less energy.   Aug 16, 2020
From Enslavement to Obliteration
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
22 songs that are so heavy you can’t even hear the riffs. The lyrics are quite good but you can’t hear those either. The most abrasive thing around in 1988.   Aug 16, 2020
So Far, So Good... So What!
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Often considered subpar Megadeth, I find it just as good as what surrounds it. The opening instrumental is actually amazing.   Aug 16, 2020

Out of the Abyss
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Manilla Road reach the apex of their Thrash run, with this being the heaviest and most aggressive thing they'd ever do. Not their very best, but still fantastic.   Aug 16, 2020

Serpent Temptation
preview  Incubus preview  Serpent Temptation (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Incredibly heavy Death/Thrash, one of the most intense albums of it's time. No shortage of technicality, either.   Aug 16, 2020
Master Control
preview  Liege Lord preview  Master Control (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Very solid US Power/Speed metal. All tracks are great, nothing more to say.   Aug 16, 2020
Out of the Silent Planet
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Very generic hard rock, nothing of note to this album.   Aug 16, 2020
Them
preview  King Diamond preview  Them (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Another great concept album from King Diamond. This one suffers a bit from over use of segues and interludes that aren't really necessary, but the music is all top notch. Gripping story beginning to end.   Aug 16, 2020

Ram It Down
preview  Judas Priest preview  Ram It Down (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
It has some good tracks - more so, it has great moments, but they are sandwiched between lackluster compositions.   Aug 16, 2020
Stand in Line
preview  Impellitteri preview  Stand in Line (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Production is poor, but Impellitteri's guitar-work is killer, and Bonnet sounds absolutely amazing as always. Bonnet paired with any guitar wizard seems to work magic.   Aug 16, 2020

No Exit
preview  Fates Warning preview  No Exit (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Fates Warning got a little Thrashy and a bit real with this one, as the cover conveys, this is less high fantasy and more focus on slightly aggressive prog songwriting. Considered weaker than the predecessors but I think it holds its own.   Aug 16, 2020
Frolic Through the Park
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Death Angel took a step back with Frolic Through the Park. It does have it's moments, but for the most part it is very sub-par Thrash lite.   Aug 16, 2020
Danzig
preview  Danzig preview  Danzig (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
It's slightly gothic Hard Rock. Sounds very generic to me, some good riffs, but not a fan of Danzig's thing.   Aug 16, 2020
Punishment for Decadence
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Another fantastic Tech Thrash album from Coroner. More consistent but less flashy than the debut, overall an excellent set of tracks with no weak points.   Aug 16, 2020

Dominator
preview  Cloven Hoof preview  Dominator (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Generic cult Heavy Metal. Mostly solid work, but nothing unique here.   Aug 16, 2020
The Voice of the Cult
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Great Neoclassical US Power Metal lead by Chastain and the great vocalist Leather Leone. Nothing out of order from Chastain's usual delivery.   Aug 16, 2020

Cold Lake
preview  Celtic Frost preview  Cold Lake (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
...It's not that bad. Some good riffs here and there, some catchy crap. Nothing fantastic, but there was more offensive stuff on Into the Pandemonium than this.   Aug 16, 2020
Reek of Putrefaction
preview  Carcass preview  Reek of Putrefaction (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Chaotic and aggressive to a fault. The riffs can't be made out, so there's no judging them at all. The drums are "impressive" but it's an abrasive sound that's not pleasant in any way.   Aug 16, 2020
Go Off!
preview  Cacophony preview  Go Off! (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Almost equal to their debut, but less consistent. Still many great melodies here, but also a good amount of needless wankery.   Aug 16, 2020
In Battle There Is No Law
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Somewhat amateur Death Metal, but it still kicks ass. Solid stuff.   Aug 16, 2020
State of Euphoria
preview  Anthrax preview  State of Euphoria (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Mostly good material, but falls behind other Thrash artists by a large margin.   Aug 16, 2020

Gypsy Ways
preview  Anthem preview  Gypsy Ways (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Stunning melodic Heavy Metal from Anthem. The vocal work, especially the harmonizing, is killer, and the solos are magical. Strong songs with memorable, anthemic choruses.   Aug 16, 2020
To Dust You Will Decay
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Very melodic Speed/Thrash. Some weaker moments (the slower songs) are present, but these guys can craft some of the most memorable riffs in the genre. Title track and Stranger are all-time favorites.   Aug 16, 2020

Suffering Hour
preview  Anacrusis preview  Suffering Hour (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Fantastic Tech/Prog Thrash, dark in a different way than most 80's Thrash. Focuses on societal evils and introspection, and features amazing musicianship.   Aug 16, 2020

Force Fed
preview  Prong preview  Force Fed (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Prong had some nice Thrashy riffs in their debut EP, but this one is slower and groovier, with weaker songwriting in general.   Aug 16, 2020
Old Lady Drivers
preview  O.L.D. preview  Old Lady Drivers (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Some of the very worst material, featuring music too chaotic too follow, and incredibly disgusting gross out humor lyrics.   Aug 16, 2020
Exciter
preview  Exciter preview  Exciter (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Exciter tread into weaker territory, with a new vocalist who is not very good, and some very mediocre songwriting. Scream Bloody Murder and Behind Enemy Lines are great tracks though.   Aug 16, 2020
Complicated Mind
preview  Doom preview  Complicated Mind (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Somewhat technical, proggy, thrashy metal, but aside from it's quirky factor it doesn't offer too much.   Aug 16, 2020
Black Death
preview  Brocas Helm preview  Black Death (1988)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Solid US Power Metal, but nothing unique. Nice work from the rhythm section.   Aug 16, 2020
7th Day of Doom
preview  Tormentor preview  7th Day of Doom (1988)  [Demo]
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Some amazing potential shown here, as they experiment with atmospherics and truly melodic stuff, a first for Black Metal. Unfortunately it's really underdeveloped, and the production is awful. Innovative and influential, but not as listenable as contemporaries.   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
