| This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It might be the craziness, it might be the lyrics, or it might be the drumming. But for one thing, I know it IS the emotion. This is classified under emo for a reason: it is pure emotion poured out onto one disc. It's pretty easy to feel these guys pour out their hearts. And i love it. |

| This album got me started to get some more indie. I absolutely adore this album for its beauty. There's a great mellowness about this album that calms me when I hear it. There are great guitar melodies that flow with the use of violins, violas and cellos here that is like no other. |

This is stunning. The beauty of this album is absolutely amazing and never lets up. It's so good that it could be life-changing, and with lyrics like "Hold on, hold on, we'll be with you soon", "though we bleed, we must push on", or maybe "though half of me is gone, the lonesome part is there; i cannot find the other half...when the water comes, I will overflow", it's not hard to see why. The entire atmosphere is magical, and sucks the listener in and doesn't let go. And you don't want it to let go. It just sounds so damn amazing.

| This is one of the most insanely good albums I have ever heard. Every single song has the peak moment that is one of the greatest moments in music. I love music where you know the singer is singing his heart out, and this is clearly shown. "Anything to numb...anything to encourage ignorance..." screams singer David Marion, in one of the great, most intense moments I have heard in music. This is lyrically and musically sound, very much so. One of my easiest 5s. |

| These songs are long. There are three songs on the whole album and it is still longer than a lot of albums out there. This got me into post rock, and it was only confirmed by chan's review. It's quiet, beautiful and makes you think. There's no way to describe it, and there's no way to match how it sounds. Unless you're the band itself. |

It has one of their few instrumentals, one of my favorite songs of all time, and there is not a single weak song. It's one of those 80s metal albums that have eight songs, but it's one of those 80s metal albums that has zero bad songs. This really needs no further introduction. Maiden is one of the greatest metal bands of all time, and this is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. |

It's got the power metal singer, which may be good or not, whatever you want, it's got the appeal, since it's just so damn good. It's catchy as hell, so much so that you can't help but love it. Catchy metal=heaven. |

| What's better than listening to a classic metal band? Watching a classic metal band perform live. This is an amazing performance (there are actually three, one in Seattle, Mexico and San Diego). Metallica, one of the world's most famous metal acts of all time, perform some of their bests at these concerts, filled with great riffing, crowd pumping favorites and cursing galore. |
| Metallica S&M | 4.0 |
| What better to have than a classic metal band combined with a symphony orchestra? Someone thought it up, and here it is.

S&M (Symphony&Metallica) never lets up on the beauty, especially on songs like Nothing Else Matters or One. This is a must-have for fans of anything. |

| New Found Glory Catalyst | 1.0 |
| To think I used to like this. New Found Glory is known for their once-catchy pop-punk hooks, but now, lead singer Jordan has been just awful for the band. His vocals strain the listener's ears as they have to hear his woman-like screechy voice. This could've been a catchy album, even with its boring boring boring guitars, basic basic basic drums and non-existent non-existent non-existent bass because I can imagine it with a decent singer and decent lyrics, which this album also doesn't offer. This could've gotten something like a 2, but no, this is a 1. Horrible. |

| This is a tremendous album. From the start, it pounds with the Symphonic Power Metal it is, and what a genre to be put under. The genre alone makes it seem like it can't be anything but good. Tarja's voice has mixed reactions, but I love her opera style. Female singers might make the band awkward, but it fits well here. Great soloing and drumming, and also great deep male vocals featured on a couple of the songs. This also has an amazing ballad. |

| Opeth is among the world's best death metal acts. However, this album is anything but death metal. Each of the eight songs are ballads, with but one or two appearances of a distorted electric guitar. And zero appearances of Mikael's signature growling. This breathtaking album never lets go of the beautiful finger picked guitars, or Mikael's incredible clean singing. This is an amazing album, definitely worth the money. |
| Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse | 4.5 |
| Opeth Ghost Reveries | 4.5 |
| Opeth Still Life | 5.0 |
| I absolutely love this album. Songs like The Moor make Opeth my favorite band by far. Mikael Akerfeldt's singing/growling mix perfectly, putting in some growling where needed, but adding beautiful clean vocals just as perfectly. Each song moves from punishing death metal with the growling into a soft acoustic passage, then right back to hard death metal. Songs like Benighted and Face of Melinda show that soft side of Opeth throughout an entire song and they master it. Each member of the band shines, especially Mikael. Also, the guitars have great creative acoustic parts and punishing riffs and the drums are excellent, playing whatever is needed to set the right mood. |
| Opeth Blackwater Park | 5.0 |
| In my eyes, Opeth is the epitome of amazing. Their music is nothing short of incredible. Each member of the band is capable of greatness, shown especially here in "Blackwater Park", often considered their best album. The growling vocals mix in with the clean singing beautifully, shown particularly well in the epic "The Leper Affinity," or the almighty "Bleak." Acoustic passages/songs such as "Patterns in the Ivy" (I and II) or "Dirge for November" show how this band can mix acoustic guitars with electric guitar riffs perfectly to create the perfect album. |

| I like ballads. I like those songs that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Those songs that you can play around your parents and they might even like it. Play it for someone who's more sensitive and quiet and they'd love you for life. Every song on this album is a masterpiece, beautifully written, with a great melody and harmony parts. They're amazing ballads and, as Vai says himself, this is the "sweet spot." The songs here are beautiful ballads, every freaking one of them. I love them all. |

| This so desperately needs a review. Stratovarius was not my first power metal band, but easily among my favorites. Visions is an album like few can match. It's power metal so it has the higher voice and cheesier lyrics, but it's still power metal. It's got the great guitars and solid drumming. It has the tremendous pure power metal songs that have the incredible solos and sort of a catchy and melodic feel to it. It has the tremendous ballads that are beautiful and make you die a little inside, in a good way. This album has all it needs, and then some. |

| Can this be categorized as Symphonic Power Metal? I have never heard a power metal album, or any album at that, with a more medieval feel to it. The band has a godly guitarist, and an incredible singer to boot. There is solid drumming everywhere as well. If that's not enough, picture perfect power metal with medieval sounding instruments, acoustic parts piano passages here too. It has everything good. Summary of this album: EPIC. |

| This is one of the worst albums I have ever heard. Every part of the band shows lack of talent, starting at the vocals. His voice shines in but one song, which is one of two songs I regard highly off this record. On the other songs, the vocals are god-awful, showing a feminine range for a male singer. The lyrics are pathetic as well, very cheesy and showing the poetry of a pre-teen. The guitars are painfully repetitive, boring and simple, even on the solos. The bass and drums are also very, very basic, bass sometimes being hardly audible, and drums being replaced once in a while by a beat box. Don't waste your time, unless you want to listen to "The Last Song" and maybe "Swing, Swing." The rest is a huge hunk of doody. |

| This album features a lot of screaming vocals, which may cause a little strain to the ears of even a seasoned punk/hardcore listener. One of the album's high points is, as much as the title says otherwise, Snake Killers. It mixes in loud punkish music with a groovy bassline somewhere in the middle, making for a moment to die for, and ultimately a very good song. Musically, though, the album and band creates a sound that is enjoyable, using strong power chords and pretty solid drumming to back the singing. Catchy when it needs to be, mixed in with straight up hardcore very well. |

| Tool's "Aenima" is often considered one of the top albums of the 1990s and it's not hard to see why. Each song is well thought out and carefully written and played by each member. The songs are long, but they never lose interest, shown especially well in the epic "Third Eye." Songs like "Forty Six and 2" show how a great bassist like Justin Chancellor can make a song that much better. Even the fillers do their job, as they set the tone for the following song. Every single song shows great singing and lyric-writing by Maynard James Keenan, and incredible drumming by Danny Carey, often considered among the top drummers in the world. |
