preview  Thunderstone preview  Tools of Destruction (2005) 90/100    Oct 31, 2024
Tools of Destruction Album of the day #7. Thunderstone - Tools Of Destruction

Underrated. It's a word that could be associated with Thunderstone in many ways. Despite many perfectly competent album compilations, the band has never been much of a hit with the public. It's a shame, because among other things, 2005's "Tools Of Destruction" is one of the best power metal albums of the 2000s.

In addition to the fact that the song material is full of high-quality and purposeful "basic heavy", there are also more complex and ambitious songs like "Land Of Innocence", there are no weak moments, and the album works best as a whole. Pasi Rantanen's singing voice is exceptional and it may take time to get used to it, but he is definitely a professional in his field. The same can be said about the other members of t ... See More

preview  Pantera preview  Cowboys from Hell (1990) 95/100    Oct 29, 2024
Cowboys from Hell Album of the day #6. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Despite the fact that Pantera had already released 4 full-length albums before "Cowboys From Hell", this can be considered the beginning of the Pantera we know. By combining trash metal with more groove and heaviness, the band invented a whole new genre, groove metal.

The song material is completely strong, there are no pure failures. The level drops a bit in the second half of the album, but e.g. "The Sleep" is one of the band's most underrated songs. Every musician is also in the mood of their lives, from Rex and Vinnie's swinging rhythm group, Dimebag's unimaginably great guitar playing and Phil's almost Rob Halford-like vocals. Everything shines, and when the production is also at a top level, it is one of the best works of its gen ... See More
preview  Dream Theater preview  Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory (1999) 100/100    Oct 28, 2024
Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory Album of the day #5. Dream Theater - Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

"Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory" is Dream Theater's undisputed masterpiece and one of progressive metal's most important records of all time. Released in 1999, this concept album is a profound story of reincarnation, murder and love, and takes the listener on a unique musical journey. Although the album's length and complexity may seem demanding at first, it rewards every time you listen, always revealing new tones.

The song material of the album is completely strong and the production is successful. Every member of the band is in full swing: LaBrie's intense vocal performance, Petrucci's phenomenal guitar playing and Portnoy's precise, rumbling drum sound together create a deep atmosphere. "Scenes ... See More

preview  Queensrÿche preview  Rage for Order (1986) 85/100    Oct 19, 2024
Rage for Order Album of the day #4. Queensrÿche - Rage For Order

"Rage for Order" is Queensrÿche's second album, where the band boldly takes steps forward musically and explores new, more progressive directions. The album deserves praise especially for the fact that it does not repeat the formula of the debut, but the band dares to take risks and experiment with versatile arrangements, synthetic elements and futuristic aesthetics. For example, songs like "Walk in the Shadows" and "I Dream in Infrared" offer a dark-toned atmosphere that is a fascinating combination of metal and new wave.

Although the album contains a lot of interesting ideas and successful songs, its biggest weakness is unevenness. Some of the songs remain mediocre, and the whole is not up to the level of the debut or the later re ... See More
preview  Guns N' Roses preview  Appetite for Destruction (1987) 90/100    Oct 17, 2024
Appetite for Destruction Album of the day #3. Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" is an iconic debut album that combines hard rock, punk and glam metal in an original way. Axl Rose's voice and the band's energetic playing create a unique atmosphere that conveys the danger and rebellion of 80s Los Angeles. Songs like "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City" are deservedly rock classics, but the album's material as a whole is not of equal quality. Even though it's a strong and ground-breaking debut, the unevenness prevents the record from becoming an all-time great. Axl Rose's vocal performance and Slash and Stradlin's guitar work elevate the album's highlights to the top of rock and make it a memorable work.

Climax: Paradise City, Sweet ... See More
