	Galneryus Into the Purgatory Galneryus seems like a more metallized version of X Japan minus the Barry Manilow kind of ballad drudgery this band has been playing. Remain Behind is the only thing that comes close to the X Japan ballads and it obviously stinks. Sometimes fun to listen to, sometimes awfully cheesy, sometimes boring and too samey. Not for the lactose intolerant mind you. The singer emulates the X Japan vocalist perfectly though, even when he tries to sing in English which gets very comical. Not too impressed of power metal versions of AC/DC, keen on dishing out the same album after album to please their fan-base. Stuck in a rut bands are not my taste, I like	2.5 11.01.19
	Cradle of Filth Midian This album is considered by many black metal fans, or non-black metal fans or any hipster essentially as Cradle of Filth's venture into more accessible black metal territory. After more than 15 years since I have heard it and after exploring their first 3 and subsequent albums, I still don't get why this album gets the sell-out stamp. Some of the stuff here is as heavy as the material on their first 3 records. There are a few hints to a more accessible black metal style, most present on song 8 (the album highlight) and song 10. The record is less black metallian, implements more gothic undertones, but it is still firmly planted in extreme met	4.5 11.01.19
	Amorphis Tuonela Progressive metal played safe with some middle-eastern folk influences thrown in for a good measure. This is how I would characterize Tuonela and Amorphis at this stage. It was clear from the release of Elegy that the band lost interest in innovating and refining their trademark sound established on their second album. But unlike in Elegy, where the spotlight was taken by catchy riffs and inspired, safe but good melodies, here the riffing takes a step back in favor of atmosphere. There are even some faint psychedelic moments. As you could expect, the heaviest track is also the best. "Greed" steals the spotlight by far. Other good tracks are 1	4.0 11.01.19
	Deep Purple Burn This is actually the best album Deep Purple has released in their first phase as a band. Unlike most heavy metal nit-pickers, I don't like labeling this band's eras based on their line-up changes. I consider their first phase being until their break-up and second phase since they reunited onwards. This is also the only record they've made that can truly be labeled as heavy metal. The sound is much heavier here than on anything they released before or after it. There 3 stunning tracks on it, namely the title track, You Fool No One and the psychedelic tinged A 200. Tracks 2-4 are decent as well, pretty solid material. However, unlike most DP fa	4.0 11.01.19
	Faith No More We Care a Lot I take it as a personal insult when this album is so severely underrated while that pile of turd they released recently (won't even bother naming it) is considered a good output. How the hell can you rate that lazy, sterile and boring collection of turds on their latest offerings a 7 (i.e. a good album overall) and this one a 6 point something (i.e. average album)? If you are gonna rate shit so high, then at least make sure decent outputs get a better rating (i.e. at least an 8). Some people need to clean up their ears, particularly Patton fanboys who still believe that this guy, well passed his prime, can still turn shit into gold. Ever sinc	3.5 11.01.19
	Hanzel Und Gretyl Black Forest Metal This music is not made for hipsters. The founding members behind this band are so extremely unpretentious, that they got mocked and ridiculed by the way too serious black metal fanbase. The shtick is that they like this genre actually, but in HUG (sic!) fashion they make a mockery of its own baloney imagery. Lets face it, much of what black metal is all about is more style than substance. Brainless shock value and adults acting as kids while taking this way too serious. And that is what pisses black metal hipsters the most. A band of unpretentious great musicians making fun of their plaything. This is literally the second best album made by t	4.0 10.28.19
	Strapping Young Lad Strapping Young Lad The successor of City, although hyped and very highly regarded today is nonetheless the least impressive SYL album. There are a number of reasons why this album was bound to be a step down from City. Devin admitted in several interviews that he was far more interested in Accelerated Evolution (one of his solo albums) rather than recording this album. Although he composed 95% of the material here, he allowed Jed Simon and Gene Hoglan to write some songs and to handle the production. As a result, with the exception of 2 tracks, everything else is pedestrian and this album has the least impressive production quality of all 5 SYL albums. Still, R	3.0 10.24.19
