| The songwriting is so bland that it makes me constantly skip to the next track in boredom/annoyance. The only saving graces are the production and a handful of decent guitar solos. And don't get me started on Fabio. Worst singer they had. Matos was a God, and Falachi was a decent bandage. Fabio is technically god but he never does the heritage of Angra justice. They started out as one of the best power metal bands in history. It's time to get back on track! Hopefully, Kiko will return and help them return to their former glory. |

| The production quality is better than ever, but the songwriting is uninspired from start to end. This is their weakest release since (r)Evolution imo, which is odd since the band performs well instrumentally and seemed to be on a roll with the prior two releases. Might they have choked on the overload of cheeze dripping from that god-awful artwork... |

probably the best Japanese metal release since Juno Bloodlust's debut album back in 2012.

| This is good but compared to its predecessor (Kurooshiku Saita Seisan...) it was a huge let-down imo. The creative edge was replaced with much more predictable songwriting. Luckily they got more creative again on later releases. Great band though. |

| Annihilator Ballistic, Sadistic | 3.0 |
| Annihilator is as Annihilator does. Nothing new under the sun, but also nothing objectionable, except perhaps too much of the good ol sun. Annihilator anno 2020 sound like t a mix between Testament and Tourniquet, for better or worse, with the ever-magnificent Jeff Waters-drizzle on top. If only the songwriting was more memorable, Annihilator would blow most other thrash bands out of the water. |
| Annihilator For the Demented | 3.0 |
| Annihilator Suicide Society | 2.5 |
| The production is the best think about this. The guitar riffs are super-tight of course, but the songwriting is just terrible from start to end. Not one chorus makes me nod along, and not one groove starts my foot tapping. Annihilator rocks! Just not on this album. |

| At Vance Chained | 3.0 |
| At Vance The Evil in You | 3.0 |
| Ultimately a let-down after the excellent "Only Human". The formula stayed the same, but the spirit and the songwriting turned to conveyor-belt metal. Apparently, the change in vocalist didn't do the band any favors, at least not on this album. |
| At Vance Only Human | 4.5 |
| The most consistent album At Vance ever made, which also makes it their best. The guitar-wankery is kept to a minimum and the songwriting is pristine from start to end. At Vance was still generic, but at least here they perfected the power metal formula better than most of their peers. Essential album for fans of the genre. |
| At Vance Heart of Steel | 3.5 |
| Slightly more memorable songwriting makes this an allover improvement of the debut, even though it feels like another product from the exact same mold. In other words, Heart of Steel lacks a voice of its own, but it rocks nonetheless. |
| At Vance No Escape | 3.0 |
| A strong debut, for sure, but it also feels very generic. No bad songs in sight. Also not one speck of originality, perhaps with the exception og the instrumental title track. |

| Some songs are okay, I do not really mind that Kreator tried to change the formula, but the vocals makes my ears bleed. The singing ruins the album and makes the entire album sound like some second-rate hardcore-crap. |

| Jorn Heavy Rock Radio | 2.5 |
| Masterplan PumpKings | 2.0 |
It is kind of interesting to hear all the Helloween-songs Roland Grapow wrote back to back, but
none of them sound better when performed by Masterplan. Cover songs can be hella fun, but in
this case it just makes me want to put on the original versions. The singer in particular, does not
suit this material half as good as Kiske/Deris did. He is a solid singer for sure, just not right for
Helloween songs. |
| Stratovarius Eternal | 3.5 |
| Stratovarius Elysium | 2.5 |
| Stratovarius Polaris | 3.0 |
| Fortress Under Siege Atlantis | 2.5 |
| Predictability made this rather promising album fall flat on its belly. Vocal melodies, riffs, production and pretty much all aspects of production are run of the mill. |
| Vhaldemar Straight to Hell | 3.5 |
| Persefone Spiritual Migration | 3.5 |
| I really dig the instrumentation here, but the songwriting (i.e. the vocal melodies) are just sooo run of the mill that my interest fades every time the lead singer start doing his thing. Too bad. These guys can really play. And dont get me wrong, the dude sings very well, my issue is with the writing of the vocal lines. |
| DGM Tragic Separation | 3.5 |
| DGM The Passage | 3.0 |
| Shaman Origins | 2.5 |
| The songs are just above average, but the terrible production just ruined the entire album for me. |
| Stratovarius Fright Night | 2.0 |
| Stratovarius Darkest Hours | 2.5 |
| Stratovarius I Walk To My Own Song | 3.0 |
| Stratovarius Hunting High and Low | 3.0 |
| AC/DC Black Ice | 3.0 |
| AC/DC Rock or Bust | 2.5 |
| Black Ice at least had some varied song writing. Not only does this feel like the same album AC/DC has made 10 times before, it also feels like they are playing 11 variations of the same song. Granted, it is a pretty decent song, but still... |
| Dimmu Borgir Alive In Torment | 2.5 |
| Sex Machineguns Metal Monster | 2.0 |
| Soooooo uninspired. And these guys used to be the pride of Japanese metal. Get it together or get lost! |

| Yngwie Malmsteen World On Fire | 1.5 |
| Galneryus Into the Purgatory | 3.0 |
| I agree that Shu makes Galneryus amazing. He is also the saving grace that keeps the Galneryus battleship afloat. This album has great instrumentation, but the songwriting is not memorable. The choruses are as conveyer-belt mass productions as can be, and the vocals are just above par. I miss the first singer. He might not be as technical as this guy, but at least he had a personal touch, which is something most Japanese metal vocalists are lacking. With the exception of Toshi and Anchang of course. Not a bad album, just not something I will come back to. |
| Thy Catafalque Naiv | 4.0 |
| Fires in the Distance Echoes From Deep November | 4.0 |
| This is on par with the best of Finnish doom death, which is to say on par with the best bands in the genre. Echoes From Deep November might not be original, but the songwriting is strong, the atmosphere is delightfully depressive and the production is well balanced between brutality and tristesse. Well done! |
| Thyrane Black Harmony | 3.0 |
| Myridian Light in the Abyss | 4.0 |
| This doom-death is so good that I could swear I was listening to a Finnish band! |
| Ulfven Bland Aska Och Sten | 4.0 |
| I wouldn't call it original, but the melodies are strong, the mix between doom and solid riffing is engaging, and Swedish vocal lines always makes for especially strong atmospheres. Ulfven, you have the stamp of approval from this Norwegian guy. Great stuff for fans of blackened doom metal! |
| In Mourning Garden of Storms | 3.0 |
| Pain of Salvation Be | 2.5 |
| I like what I hear a lot of the time, but most of the tracks feel more like fragments than full songs. I guess this is the point, that I should see them all in relation to each other. And I appreciate the concept, I just don't buy it. If the idea is to present the body of songs as one big piece of music, it is imperative that the songs flow well together. They shouldn't feel like separate fragments, but fit together like pieces in a puzzle. |

| Warrant Cherry Pie | 3.5 |
| Helloween Straight Out of Hell | 3.0 |
| Rage Trapped! | 2.5 |
| The production is good, the musicianship is tight and the riffing kicks ass. The songwriting is very trite however. Not since the two last Arch Enemy albums have I heard more predictable vocal lines. For me this completely ruins the album. I much prefer XIII or End of all Days over this. |

| Dragonlord Dominion | 4.0 |
So Dragonlord might be downright plagiarising 90's symphonic black metal , but they do it with such conviction that it is
close to as good as the real thing. Not often do I hear bands that are able to capture the black metal sound of the 90's as
well as these guys. This is definitely not anything new under the black sun, but it is a hella fun hurdle down memory lane.
Think early Dimmu Borgir meets Cradle of Filth meets Old Man's Child, with a hint of Testament riffage. A pretty decent
brew indeed. |
| Dirge (FR) Lost Empyrean | 3.5 |
| Hiromi Voice | 5.0 |
| Voice is just impossible to get tired of. The playfulness and creativity makes for an album that continues to show new sides of itself even after several years and countless listenings. Amazing album by an amazing artist. Check out her live performances on YouTube and you will find it hard not to catch the Hiomi-bug also. |
| October Tide Tunnel of No Light | 4.0 |
| Kuolemanlaakso Tulijoutsen | 4.5 |

| A bit more streamlined, but at the same time probably their most even album to date. "Blood We Shed" slays and the vocal job on "Origin" is amazing. Opening track might be the least interesting thing on the album. |

| The Night Flight Orchestra Amber Galactic | 4.5 |
| By far the best Night Flight album, and also one of the best albums so far this year. There is not a bad chorus in sight, and the tip of the hat to bands like ELO, Toto and 10CC is something the retro rock scene of the last decade has been missing. Not to mention the awesome vocal range of Speed Strid. Man can this guy sing. |
| Les Discrets Prédateurs | 2.5 |
| Glass Mind Dodecaedro | 4.0 |
| Instrumental albums tend to be either hit or miss. This is a definite hit, with every song keeping us entertained throughout. Though not quite comparable, this engaged me on the same level as Step In Fluid and Liquid Tension Experiment. |

| Carach Angren Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten | 4.5 |
| Best album since the debut imo. 1 year and 7 months after release, when still not tired of the album, the raised rating seems only appropriate. Not a bad song in sight, just growing pieces of pitch black theatrical extravaganza. |

| Did someone ever coin the phrase "abstract metal"? If not, then this is it. This is to me the sonic equivalent to abstract art, which is to say pretentious garbage. The only positive thing I can say about this album is that it pisses me off. It is a compliment I suppose, being that very few bands invoke such strong emotional response in me, even if it is pure loathing. |

phenomenal. Recommended tracks are "The Voyagers Beneath the Mare Imbrium", "Calisto
Rising" and "The Thirteen Cryptical Prophecies of Mu". |

I used to think Son of the Jackal was better, but some twelve years after the release of
Feel the Blade I realize that the latter is superior in most aspects. This album is
pretty awesome. Rating upped 2021. |

Dragonchaser is a definitive highlight in the At Vance-discography. For the first time
the songwriting was both memorable and (somewhat) original. This is when At Vance
developed a real personality. Dragonchaser is inconsistent, but the best songs are power
metal classics that all fans of the genre should know. |
