Farrah Abraham My Teenage Dream Ended
Freedom Call Eternity
Ghost (SWE) Meliora
Grant MacDonald Ram Ranch
Helloween Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I
Helloween Helloween
This is gonna make a lot of people (including me), very, very happy. I'm glad they didn't
do a copy job of their 80's output, and managed to branch out sonically; covering all eras
of the band pretty well. It's no Keeper of the Seven Keys, but it's pretty damn close.
Hot Dad Wrestle
Huey Lewis and the News Sports
Huey Lewis and the News Greatest Hits
Desert island album right here. Huey was the soundtrack of my youth.
Iced Earth The Glorious Burden
Yo, yoooooooooo. I fuckin' love this.
Immortal At the Heart of Winter
HOLY SHIT.
Impellitteri Screaming Symphony
Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time
Maiden comes back stronger than ever with this album. Guitar synths are used to great effect, and the solos are beyond fantastic on this album. Grand choruses and epic production make this a true experience. My absolute favorite.
Iron Maiden Rock In Rio (DVD)
Judas Priest Defenders Of The Faith
Judas Priest Painkiller
Judas Priest Sad Wings Of Destiny
Judas Priest Sin After Sin
Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith 30th Anniversary Edition
Judas Priest Firepower
From What I've heard, this album will be one of their greatest releases.

*Update* I was absolutely correct.
King Diamond Conspiracy
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Nonagon Infinity
Kow Otani GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV
Limp Bizkit Still Sucks
This is the first time in Sputnik history where rating an album before it's released is 100% justified.
Macho Man Randy Savage Be A Man
Magnum On A Storyteller's Night
Aw hell yeah; this thing rocks! That guitar tone is simply magical.
Manowar Hail To England
Megadeth Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
Mercyful Fate Don't Break The Oath
Metal Church The Dark
Metallica Ride The Lightning
Misfits Famous Monsters
Yeah, this is my favorite Misfit record. You gonna fuckin' do something about it?
Motorhead 1916
Motorhead Ace Of Spades
Norden Light Shadows From the Wilderness
One of the biggest hidden gems of the 80's. An AOR masterpiece.
Overkill The Years of Decay
Overkill Ironbound
Ozzy Osbourne The Ultimate Sin
Best Ozzy album full stop. Wrongfully maligned, and in DIRE need of critical reassessment. One of the best arena metal albums of the ever.
Pat Boone In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy
GTFO this is an undeniable classic. Easily one of the best albums of the 90s
Pitbull Planet Pit
Iconic. The music that defined a generation; and peak human creativity.

Picture THAT with a Kodak motherfuckers.
Queen Innuendo
Queensryche Operation: Mindcrime
Rainbow Rising
Best metal album ever recorded? Possibly. I don't have any rebuttals to that claim, so I guess it can wear that title comfortably.
Ramones Leave Home
Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine
I'm telling you folks: DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ONE.
Running Wild Black Hand Inn
Samhain November-Coming-Fire
Savatage Streets: A Rock Opera
Savatage Hall of the Mountain King
Saxon Unleash The Beast
Scanner Hypertrace
Fucking awesome album. I have a soft spot for science fiction themed metal albums, and this is one of the very best.
Scorpions Blackout
Seikima-II Mephistopheles no Shouzou
Everything that makes Seikima-II great, condensed and amplified in a 50 minute package. Essential Japanese metal listening.
Skull Fist Chasing the Dream
The best NWOTHM album ever? It's definitely possible.
Sodom Agent Orange
Sonata Arctica Ecliptica
Wow, this is so fucking good. The only album by these guys I had heard up to this point is "Talvyio", so I expected this to suck ass too. Thankfully, it doesn't, not even fuckin close.
Strangeways Walk in the Fire
Some of the best AOR I've ever heard. You gotta check this out.
Sword Metalized
FUCKING CLASSIC
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coming Out Of Their Shells
I unironically love the song Pizza Power
TerribleTim TerribleTim Spreads Love
Testament The Ritual
I don't give a flying fuck if a band changes their sound, as long as it sounds good; and this record right here fucking rules. The Ritual doesn't sound like a thrash band softening their sound, it sounds like a band playing the music they were always meant to.
The Beatles Abbey Road
The Cars The Cars
The best mom rock album ever recorded. Shit slaps hard
The Dickies Dawn of the Dickies
Revisited this for the first time since junior year, I love it even more now.
The Pharcyde Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde
The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St.
Rock and roll has never been done better.
The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Thin Lizzy Thunder and Lightning
Toxik Think This
Twilight Force Dawn of the Dragonstar
The energy, power, and cohesion brought forth on this album is something 2019 has been sorely
lacking. Everyone on the record is putting in 110%, and the orchestral arrangements flow perfectly
on every track. Every song is delightfully catchy and cheesy, and the title track may be my song
of the year.
U.D.O. Animal House
Accept really shit the bed by not recording and releasing this record themselves. Easily some of the best songs the band have ever written. Udo definitely faired the best after they parted ways.
Van Halen Van Halen
Venom Welcome to Hell
Fast, loose, ugly, evil, and a shitload of fun. These guys truly were pioneers of extreme metal, and never get the respect they rightfully deserve. Crank this shit in a cold, dark basement, and have yourself a fuckin blast.
Viper the Rapper You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack
Virgin Steele Invictus
Easily one of the top 5 power metal albums of all time. Absolutely incredible final installment to an already amazing trilogy of albums.
W.A.S.P. The Headless Children
One of the greatest metal albums of the late 80's. Deal with it.
Whitesnake 1987
One of the best glam metal albums ever recorded. It's such a satisfying listen.
X Japan Art of Life
One of the most impressive pieces of metal music ever recorded. Absolutely genius.
Yngwie Malmsteen Eclipse

4.5 superb
AC/DC Let There Be Rock
AC/DC Powerage
AC/DC T.N.T.
AC/DC Let There Be Rock (Australia)
Accept Russian Roulette
Accept Stalingrad: Brothers In Death
Accept Blind Rage
Aerosmith Rocks
Alcatrazz Disturbing the Peace
The fuck is wrong with you guys? This album is so fucking good.
Alice Cooper Killer
Alice Cooper Hey Stoopid
Alice Cooper DaDa
Alice in Chains Jar Of Flies
Alice in Chains Dirt
Alice in Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
This record doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This is neck and neck with Dirt for me.
Ambush (SWE) Infidel
These Swedes know exactly what they are doing. On Infidel, Ambush turns up the aggression
and takes no prisoners. Let's hope we don't have to wait another 5 years for the next
record.
Amon Amarth With Oden on Our Side
now this is what I'm fuckin talkin about
Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God
Angel Witch Angel Witch
Angra Temple of Shadows
Annihilator Alice In Hell
Quite possibly the best produced thrash album ever recorded. The songs are fucking amazing too.
Annihilator King of the Kill
Anthem Gypsy Ways
Anthem Bound to Break
Anthem Black Empire
Anthem Burning Oath
This album fucked my mom, and I'm not even made about it. Struggle Action fucking DECIMATES.
Anthem Nucleus
Just as fantastic as I expected. Anthem keeps this collection of re-recordings
familiar, yet still manages to make it fresh and exciting. I'm glad they didn't rely on
their biggest hits, and decided to focus on the underrated gems of their latter day
catalog.
Anthrax Sound Of White Noise
Anthrax For All Kings
Antioch Antioch V
Anvil Forged In Fire
Artillery By Inheritance
Atheist Unquestionable Presence
Atlantean Kodex The Course Of Empire
Avantasia The Wicked Symphony
Avantasia The Mystery Of Time
Axel Rudi Pell The Masquerade Ball
Axxis Back To The Kingdom
Bad Religion The Empire Strikes First
This is the only Bad Religion album I truly fuck with from start to finish.
Bathory Bathory
Beast In Black From Hell With Love
Black Death Black Death
Black Sabbath Paranoid
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell
Black Sabbath Headless Cross
A highlight in Black Sabbath's already impressive discography. If Dio was on vocals this would have a 4+ average on this site and you know it. Purists seriously need to stop riding Ozzy and Dio's dicks so hard and actually give this a listen. One of the best albums Sabbath have ever released.
Blackfoot Strikes
God this thing is fuckin' TASTY.
Blackslash Sinister Lightning
Blazon Stone No Sign of Glory
Blazon Stone Damnation
rips
Blind Guardian Nightfall In Middle-Earth
Blind Guardian Imaginations From The Other Side
Blind Guardian Tales From The Twilight World
Blitzkrieg A Time Of Changes
How am I just now discovering this band? I never even knew they existed
Bloodbound Nosferatu
Bloodbound War of Dragons
Hot damn, this is some good shit! Dragons are cool.
Blue Oyster Cult Fire of Unknown Origin
Blue Oyster Cult Cultösaurus Erectus
Bow Wow (JPN) Warning from Stardust
Among the best Japanese metal albums of the 80s. It just hits different.
Bow Wow (JPN) Ancient Dreams
An excellent collection rerecorded tracks from their early career. The newer, heavier production on this album really does breath new life into these tracks, with every single song being noticeably improved upon.
Brainfever You
You
Brainstorm Downburst
Brazen Abbot Live And Learn
Glenn Hughs and Goran Edman were in an heavy AOR band together? This is awesome! How have I never heard of this?!
Breitenhold Secret Worlds
Candlemass Nightfall
Carcass Surgical Steel
Celtic Frost To Mega Therion
Celtic Frost Monotheist
Cheap Trick In Color
Cheap Trick Dream Police
Children of Bodom Hate Crew Deathroll
Children of Bodom Hatebreeder
Children of Bodom Hexed
I had never given this band a listen, but Nuclear Blast was really pushing them, so I gave them a shot. I can now safely say I'm a fan.
Chris Stapleton Traveller
Cinderella Night Songs
Conception Parallel Minds
Coroner Mental Vortex
Coventhrall Legacy of Morfuidra
Its shit like this that makes listening to every power metal album each year worth it. This totally knocked my socks off.
Coverdale and Page Coverdale / Page
Crimson Glory Crimson Glory
Cryptosis Bionic Swarm
Wow, this is really good. Why can't more modern thrash be like this?
Crystal Ball In the Beginning
Crystal Eyes Starbourne Traveler
One hell of a comeback record. All killer, no filler. A 3.3 for this album is absolutely ludicrous
Danzig Danzig II: Lucifuge
Dark Moor The Gates of Oblivion
Death Individual Thought Patterns
Death Human
Death Angel The Evil Divide
Deep Purple Machine Head
While I don't think it's QUITE as good as it's reputation lead me to believe, I can't deny just how consistent and satisfying Machine Head is.
Deep Purple Perfect Strangers
Seriously can't believe I used to dislike this album in middle school. Such a foolish 12 year old I was.
Deep Purple Burn
I will forever stand by my opinion that Burn is on par with In Rock and Machine Head. he title track is also my all-time favorite DP track. So fuckin good.
Deep Purple Purpendicular
For the second time Deep Purple show us they don't need Blackmore to make a kickass rrecord. This album has a little bit of everything, but never once feels unfocused of reclectic. Definitely up there with their best material.
Deep Purple Whoosh!
Wow, this kinda blew me away. Easily their best since Perpendicular
Def Leppard High 'N' Dry
Demon The Unexpected Guest
Stellar follow-up to their already fantastic debut. Quintessential NWOBHM
Demon Night of the Demon
This is the album I never knew I needed. I'm gonna be jamming this all October.
Destruction Mad Butcher
I absolutely dumbfounded how 4 of the best tracks this band ever recorded were never included on an actual full length release.
Destruction Cracked Brain
Fuck you, this is my favorite Destruction album.
Dethklok Dethalbum II
I'm so glad I started watching Metalocalypse. This shit is absolutely fantastic.
Diamond Head The Coffin Train
What I ended up listening to was not I expected from this album at all. The short headbangers are
great, but where this album really hits it's stride is in the thick atmospherics of the deeper
cuts like "The Sleeper" and "When We Burn".
Dio Holy Diver
Dio Magica
Dire Straits Brothers In Arms
DMX It's Dark and Hell Is Hot
Dokken Tooth And Nail
Dokken The Lost Songs: 1978-1981
Why the fuck were these songs never released? This is easily some of Don's best work. No shit, this is legitimately superb.
Don Dokken Up From The Ashes
5th Dokken album. On par with their first 4 albums, and almost surpasses them on a couple occasions. I Crash and Burn all day, baby.
DragonForce Reaching into Infinity
Dream Evil Dragon Slayer
As far as power metal goes, this may just have the best production the genre has to offer. Grandiose, epic, cheesy, uplifting, and a shit ton of fun. Love it to death.
Dream Theater Awake
Dynazty The Dark Delight
Eclipse (SWE) Monumentum
Eclipse (SWE) Paradigm
Yeah, this is pretty wicked. Not a dud in the bunch
Edge of Sanity Crimson II
Edge of Sanity Crimson
Edguy Hellfire Club
Edguy Vain Glory Opera
Edguy Mandrake
Edguy Rocket Ride
Criminally underrated and misunderstood record. The shift from traditional power metal, to a hard rock-oriented sound may come across a little jarring upon the first listen, but where this album really shines is with it's variety and experimentation. No two songs sound alike, with each having it's own memorable quirks to keep you fully engaged.
Elegy (NLD) Lost
Emperor In the Nightside Eclipse
Enforcer From Beyond
Eternity's End Embers of War
This is fucking amazing.
Evergrey Solitude Dominance Tragedy
Evil Invaders Feed Me Violence
Exciter Violence And Force
Exodus Fabulous Disaster
Exodus Tempo of the Damned
Best Exodus album.
Faith No More Angel Dust
Weird as fuck, but in the best way.
Falconer Falconer
Flotsam and Jetsam Doomsday for the Deceiver
Flotsam and Jetsam Blood in the Water
Why is this so fucking good? Every single track ranges from great to fantastic. Well done guys.

Galneryus Into the Purgatory
Gama Bomb Speed Between The Lines
Gamma Ray No World Order
Gamma Ray Somewhere Out in Space
Gamma Ray Power Plant
Gary Moore Wild Frontier
Gloryhammer Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards
This album made me a born-again virgin, and I'm not even upset about it.
Gorillaz Demon Days
Grave Digger The Grave Digger
Grave Digger Excalibur
Grim Reaper Rock You To Hell
Haunt (USA-CA) If Icarus Could Fly
Havok Conformicide
Hot damn, you can tell they had an agenda when writing this one. Their best yet.
Heavens Gate Livin' In Hysteria
Helloween Walls Of Jericho
Helloween Better Than Raw
Helloween The Time Of The Oath
Helloween Straight Out of Hell
Hellripper Warlocks Grim And Withered Hags
Wow, this kinda fucks. AOTY material right here.

Heavy metal played the way it should be. Pure metal majesty.

Good shit.
Immortal All Shall Fall
Impellitteri Answer To The Master
Impellitteri Stand In Line
In Flames Colony
In Flames Clayman
In Flames Whoracle
Iron Curtain (ESP) Savage Dawn
Ah hell yeah, the music definitely matches that badass artwork. THIS is how you do throwback metal right here.
Iron Maiden Powerslave
Working their way up, Maiden finally releases a worthwhile album with Bruce. One of Maiden's strongest efforts of the 80's.
Iron Maiden Brave New World
Great return of Bruce and one of the best post Blaze albums Maiden has released. Only issue is that the running times of the songs started to linger too long. This would be an issue that would plague future Maiden releases.
Iron Maiden Empire Of The Clouds
Jag Panzer Ample Destruction
Apt title, this thing fucking slaughtered me.
Journey Escape
The quintessential feel good album. Nothing deep or thought provoking on here, but that's what makes it so enjoyable.
Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance
Judas Priest Ram It Down
Judas Priest Unleashed In The East
Judas Priest The Complete Albums Collection
Judas Priest Invincible Shield
While not quite on the level of Firepower, Invincible Shield is still an incredibly impressive showcase of pure metal magic from a band that has been kicking for over half a century. Do yourself a favor and skip those bonus tracks, though.r
Kairos Queen of the Hill
This is good, damn good. I'll have to check out their debut now.
Kalmah Swampsong
Kamelot The Black Halo
Kansas Point of Know Return
Kanye West Yeezus
Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly
King Diamond Abigail
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard I'm In Your Mind Fuzz
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Infest the Rats' Nest
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Omnium Gatherum
Long as hell, but totally worth it. So many great ideas and sounds present here, and all of them work surprisingly well. The fact that KGLW can pull off two fun rap numbers just goes to show that there isn't a single genre they tackle convincingly.
Kingdom Come In Your Face
KISS Rock And Roll Over
KISS Hotter Than Hell
KISS Creatures Of The Night
Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo Live and Let Die
Kreator Coma of Souls
Fuck Extreme Aggression, THIS is Kreator's magnum opus.
Kreator Phantom Antichrist
Krokus Headhunter
Kvelertak Kvelertak
Lard The Last Temptation of Reid
Leatherwolf Street Ready
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy
Lost Horizon A Flame to the Ground Beneath
Loudness Soldier of Fortune
Loudness The Law of Devil's Land
Loudness Shadows of War
Magnum On The 13th Day
Magnum The Serpent Rings
Real shit? This is one of their best albums. Modern Magnum is a force to be reckoned with.
Manilla Road Open the Gates
This album kicks Crystal Logic's ass, and you know it.
Manilla Road The Courts of Chaos
Although albums like Mystification and The Deluge are great, this album right here was the moment where Manilla Road took their sound to the next level. Not quite as heavy as their earlier material, but far more satisfying in my humble opinion.
Manowar Kings Of Metal
Marshall Law Power Game
Imagine if Skid Row continued making good music after Slave to the Grind, and threw in a little double bass drumming. That's basically what this is, and it fucks beyond belief.
Masterplan Masterplan
Mastodon Once More 'Round the Sun
Mayhem Daemon
Hold up, this thing slaps way harder than I was expecting. I might have to start getting into
black metal now.
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell
Meat Loaf Bad Attitude
This album slays from front to back. It may not be as ambitious as the "Bat Out Of Hell"
saga, but the songs are direct, infectious and ridiculously fun. Probably my favorite record
from Mr. Loaf.
Mega Colossus Riptime
Megadeth Rust In Peace
Megadeth Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
Megadeth So Far, So Good... So What!
Mekong Delta Lurking Fear
The peak of thrash comebacks right here. Probably the greatest thing they've ever released.
Mercyful Fate Melissa
Metal Church Metal Church
Metal Church The Human Factor
Metal Church XI
Metallica Master Of Puppets
Metallica Metallica
The fattest snare sound of all time. God bless it
Michael Jackson Thriller
Michael Jackson Bad
Michael Jackson Dangerous
Midnight Satanic Royalty
Misfits Walk Among Us
Misfits Static Age
Moonlight Sorcery Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity
This band is fucking amazing. I don't even listen to EP's but their debut was so kickass I
had to.
Moonlight Sorcery Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle
God this album is fucking awesome. Probably gonna be my pick for album of the year; borderline perfect.
Morbid Angel Altars of Madness
Morbid Saint Spectrum of Death
Motley Crue Shout At The Devil
Motorhead Overkill
Motorhead Another Perfect Day
Motorhead Rock 'N' Roll
Motorhead Kiss Of Death
For my money, this is the best Motorhead record of the 21st century. Inferno isn't far behind it though.
Mr. Bungle Mr. Bungle
"My Ass Is on Fire" sent me into a deep fit of psychosis. I'm still not sure if that is a positive or not.
Narnia Narnia
Some of the most glorious cheese I've heard in a loooooong time. I love it.
Night Ranger Dawn Patrol
Nightwish Once
Ninja Sex Party NSFW
Nocturnus The Key
I'd be a death metal fan if more death metal sounded like this. What a journey this was.
Nuclear Assault Handle with Care
Opeth Still Life
nice
Orden Ogan Easton Hope
Orden Ogan To the End
Orden Ogan The Order of Fear
Orden Ogan bringing the fuckin' HEAT. Some of the most bombastic shit I've heard all year; arena power metal at its finest.
Overkill The Electric Age
Overkill The Grinding Wheel
Re-listened to this today, and it's somehow even better than I remembered it being when I bought it back in 2017. 2010's Overkill could do no wrong, I swear.
Ozzy Osbourne No More Tears
Ozzy Osbourne Diary Of A Madman
Petra On Fire!
Pink Floyd The Wall
They did it. They actually did it. Pink Floyd made an album I actually love. Took a long time to get here, but I finally found a Pink Floyd album I'd personally consider to be exceptional.
Powermad Absolute Power
Why do so many prog-thrash artists only release 1 or 2 albums?
Powerwolf The Sacrament of Sin
Praying Mantis Predator In Disguise
Good stuff! I come back to this one a lot. It hits that sweet spot of cheesy melodic goodness that I can't get enough of. Tracks like 'Can't See the Angels' and 'Borderline' are immortal jams.

This album fucks.
Riot V Unleash The Fire
Riot V Armor Of Light
Rocka Rollas The Road to Destruction
Royal Hunt Paradox
Running Wild Death Or Glory
Running Wild Port Royal
Running Wild Victory
Disgustingly low user score for a fantastic album. Not only does Victory have some of the biggest hooks in Running Wild's discog, it is also home to a plethora of catchy riffs and absolutely crushing production job. In need of some serious re-evaluation.
Rush 2112
Rush Power Windows
Best Rush album.
Rush Clockwork Angels
Sabaton Carolus Rex
Sabaton Heroes
Sabaton The Great War
Contender for my album of the year. Sabaton end the 2010's with the biggest bang possible.
Sabire Gates Ajar
The best modern trad-metal I've heard in years. Do yourself a favor and check this out; these guys are the real deal.
Sacred Warrior Master's Command
I bet Jesus loves this album, because I know I do.
Satan Court in the Act
Satan Life Sentence
One hell of a comeback record. Straight up might be the best album they've ever recorded.
Savatage Gutter Ballet
Savatage Poets and Madmen
Saxon Denim And Leather
Saxon Power And The Glory
Killer shit right here. The Eagle Has Landed is a fuckin' tour de force.
Saxon Dogs Of War
Nope, I don't get the hate for this one. This is pretty much an all killer, no filler record for me.
Saxon Thunderbolt
4 years later and Thunderbolt still holds up as one of Saxon's most consistent and varied records. Absolutely killer in every regard.

Skid Row Slave to the Grind
Slade Till Deaf Do Us Part
Slade The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome
Slayer Seasons In The Abyss
And then they broke up, never to release another album again.
Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind
After 25 years, Slipknot finally gets it. By far the best thing they've ever released.
Smoulder Violent Creed of Vengeance
Excellent release. Has that vintage metal sound , but manages to still sound fresh and exciting.
Sodom M-16
Best Sodom album? Probably.
Sonata Arctica Silence
Sonata Arctica Winterheart's Guild
Soundtrack (Film) Napoleon Dynamite
Stallion Slaves Of Time
Much better than their last record. This thing slaps hard
Stormwarrior Heading Northe
Stratovarius Episode
Stratovarius Destiny
Stratovarius Nemesis
Stratovarius Survive
Survive? More like thrive. One of Stratovarius's greatest albums to date.
Striker Armed To The Teeth
Striker City Of Gold
Stryper To Hell With The Devil
Suicidal Tendencies Lights...Camera...Revolution
Survivor Vital Signs
Tankard Zombie Attack
Tankard Alien
Tankard R.I.B.
This is one hell of a comeback. Not often that a band this old puts out arguably their best album this late in their career.
Tarot Follow Me Into Madness
Tarot Spell Of Iron
One of those underground classics that deserve to be unearthed for the masses to hear. Magical stuff.
Tesla Mechanical Resonance
Testament The Gathering
Testament The New Order
Testament Brotherhood of the Snake
Borderline perfect modern thrash record. BOTS takes the accessibility and catchiness from "The Ritual" and blends it with the relentless aggression of "The Gathering" to create a modern thrash classic. Every aspect of what makes Testament great is on full display here, and it's absolutely glorious.
Testament Para Bellum
Para Bellum is the sound of Testament reaching their final and most glorious form. The fact a band can put out an album this sonically adventurous and fresh so far into their career is genuinely astounding.
The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Okay, fine. I may hate Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but everything else on here is really good...
The Black Dahlia Murder Everblack
The Offspring Smash
The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones Some Girls
Theocracy Mirror of Souls
Thin Lizzy Jailbreak
Thin Lizzy Black Rose A Rock Legend
Thrasher Burning at the Speed of Light
The textbook definition of 80s metal. I don't give a shit if it is derivative, it's fucking sweet.
Tilt (JPN) The Beast In Your Bed
One of those hidden gems that makes treasure hunting worth it. Any fans of classic hard rock/metal absolutely need to check this one out. "Stick Into Yours" might have the NASTIEST opening riff I've ever heard.
TNT Intuition
Toto The Seventh One
Best Toto album by a long shot.
Toxik World Circus
Triumph Never Surrender
Trivium Shogun
Shogun
Trivium In the Court of the Dragon
First Trivium album I've enjoyed since Shogun. Matt thankfully keeps his earth-shatteringly rgeneric clean vocals to a minimum, which really helps. I thought I was done with them after rWTDMS, but this pleasantly surprised me. The 2nd half is superb.
Turbo Kawaleria Szatana
GAAAAAAAAALLEON
Turbo Dorosłe dzieci
Twilight Force Tales of Ancient Prophecies
Twisted Sister Stay Hungry

Uriah Heep Sweet Freedom
Uriah Heep Abominog
Uriah Heep Sea of Light
Van Halen 1984
Van Halen 5150
Vektor Terminal Redux
Venator Paradiser
Venator Psychodrome
If you are a fan of 80s metal, you need to give this a listen. This shit sounds like its straight out of 1985, and it absolutely crushes.
Venom Black Metal
Vio-Lence Eternal Nightmare
Virgin Steele The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell: Part II

shit here.

W.A.S.P. W.A.S.P.
W.A.S.P. The Crimson Idol
Warbringer Weapons of Tomorrow
I'm not a huge fan of most modern thrash bands, but Warbringer is certainly an exception. Think we're looking at a modern classic right here.
Warfield With The Old Breed
One of the best modern thrash albums I've heard in quite some time. Excellent production, stellar riffs, vicious Sodom-esque vocals, and a surprising amount of melody. Classic shit right here
Weird Al Yankovic Dare To Be Stupid
White Wizzard Infernal Overdrive
Whitesnake Slide It In
Whitesnake Forevermore
The fact David Coverdale released an album THIS good in 2011 is nothing short of astounding. Every single song slaps, and the overall product stands toe to toe with their best records.

AC/DC Ballbreaker
AC/DC Blow Up Your Video
AC/DC Live
AC/DC Power Up
We all know AC/DC have never, and will never change. But with that being said, this album
is a notable jump in quality, and easily the best thing they've released in nearly 40
years. Dumb fun, but fun regardless. Submit to your inner middle-aged dad and have a good
time.

Alcatrazz No Parole from Rock 'n' Roll
Alcatrazz Born Innocent
Graham Bonnet is such an underrated songwriter. Some really great stories on this record.
Alestorm Back Through Time
Rating this a 4 feels kind of ridiculous, but it was such a fun listen. This album is so unapologetic in its retardation that I can't help but admire the sheer amount of goofiness on display.
Alestorm Sunset on the Golden Age
Okay, this one is actually good unironically.
Alice Cooper Love It To Death
Alice Cooper Dragontown
Alice Cooper Welcome to My Nightmare

It's good, but it's sure as hell not album of the year.
Bloodbound Rise of the Dragon Empire
Surprisingly good, not a dud on the record. Throw this on while playing Dark Souls and you're set.
Bloodbound Tales From The North
Not reinventing the wheel by any means, but it didn't need to. By playing it safe Bloodbound ensured that almost every song on here is a banger.
Blue Oyster Cult Agents of Fortune
Blue Oyster Cult Tyranny and Mutation
Blue Oyster Cult The Revölution By Night

I'm 13 albums in and they haven't released a single album I've disliked. People are really sleeping on their post-81 material; fix that shit.

Craaft Craaft
Cradle of Filth Midian
Cradle of Filth Existence Is Futile
Best Cradle of Filth album hands down.

Not Bionic Swarm good, but definitely a huge step above most modern thrash. Some pretty interesting compositions to be found here, with an unexpected, but welcomed sonic shift towards a more atmospheric death metal style.r
Crystal Ball Hard Impact
These guys seriously need more attention. Imagine early Stratovarius but it's actually good.

The bastard middle child sandwiched between the two big guns is still a total beast in its own right.
Deep Purple Come Taste The Band
This album fucking rocks dude. Replacing Blackmore was a Herculean task, but Bolin fucking SLAYS on here. It's no 'In Rock' or 'Machine Head', but it isn't too far behind. This record is some serious need of reassessment.
Deep Purple Stormbringer
The Coverdale era of Deep Purple is sickeningly underrated. Stormbringer funks AND fucks.
Deep Purple Slaves And Masters
I love this album. I understand why people don't like it, but it hits all the notes I
wanted from a Joe Lynn Turner fronted Deep Purple album. It may not sound like the band's
classic output, but it showed Deep Purple could make a damn good AOR record.
Deep Purple Now What?!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY fucking better than Rapture of the Deep.

Exhorder Mourn the Southern Skies
Never really liked Exhorder's first two albums, but this one is solid from top to bottom. Contender for thrash album of the year.
Exodus Bonded by Blood
Killer songs, but Christ those vocals are rough. Not to speak ill of the dead, but Paul Baloff seriously couldn't sing.
Exodus Force of Habit
Exodus Pleasures of the Flesh
I'd say the songs aren't quite as strong as BbB, but the vocals are 100% better. This kinda revens it out, keeping them on par with each other.
Exodus Persona Non Grata
I really don't understand why people are hating on the vocals so much. He sounds just like he did on Blood In, Blood Out... The material on here is stronger than the stuff on that album too. Their best since Tempo.

I actually prefer this to the debut

High energy power metal with a distinct focus on melody and hooks. Among the best 2022 PM albums released thus far.
Frozen Crown War Hearts
I've been pretty lukewarm to this band for a long time, but they finally managed to impress me. Their best record to date.
Frozen Land Out Of The Dark
I really enjoyed this; that last track is somethin else man. I can safely say I've never heard anything like it on a power metal record.

The lore is so rich with this band. Still don't know what the fuck a "hoot" is though.

I'll be honest; I think I enjoy Gojira's more streamlined sound in comparison to their early work.
Grave Digger Rheingold

HammerFall Legacy Of Kings

Wait, this is actually good? I was convinced these guys were gonna release middling albums for the rest of their career, but this was a very pleasant surprise. No Son of Odin is probably one of the best songs these guys have ever recorded.

Harem Scarem Mood Swings
Haunt (USA-CA) Mosaic Vision
Haunt (USA-CA) Mind Freeze

Havok Time Is Up
He Is Legend White Bat
He Is Legend Endless Hallway
I genuinely cannot categorize this into any established genre that I'm aware of.
Heathen Victims of Deception
Heaven and Hell The Devil You Know
Heavy Load Death Or Glory
A glorious little hidden gem from the early 80s. The band isn't super tight performance wise, but the spirit and love for the genre are on full display, and it's extremely charming. Imagine a more downtempo Manilla Road with better vocals.
Heavy Load Stronger Than Evil
Helloween The Dark Ride
Helloween Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy
Helloween Master Of The Rings
Helloween Rabbit Don't Come Easy
Helloween Giants & Monsters
Happy to report the self titled wasn't a fluke, and the chemistry the band had on said album is very much intact. Definitely a worthy follow-up, even if the production is a little muddy in places.r

Insane Clown Posse The Great Milenko
Insane Clown Posse Riddle Box
Insane Clown Posse The Amazing Jeckel Brothers
Yeah, I definitely fuck with this. Most of it is over-the-top comedic horrorcore; but tracks like Echo Side are genuinely good in an unironic way.
Iron Maiden Dance Of Death
The last time Maiden sounded like they were actually having fun. Take off the last 3 tracks, and you've got one hell of a Maiden album. Doesn't top Brave New World, but it does stand as one of their best post-Blaze era releases.
Iron Maiden Iron Maiden
Great debut from metal legends. Only fault is the two slower songs that detract from the album's feel.
Iron Maiden Fear Of The Dark
Easily Maiden's most varied and interesting record to date. Not everything on here lands, but when it does, it's fantastic. Had the band cut a couple filler tracks, this may have landed a spot in my top 5 Maiden albums.
Iron Maiden The X Factor
Fiercely underrated album. Only hated because it's not Bruce, but that's why the album succeeds in being such a great listen. "Sign of the Cross" is the best Iron Maiden song ever.
Iron Maiden Live After Death
Iron Maiden Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Man I used to think this album was the shit back in the day. I still think it's a solid Maiden release, but any time those self indulgent prog ballads kick in I kinda wanna ralph. The more times I revisit it, the less I like it.
Iron Maiden The Book Of Souls
The last two albums were weak as hell. Let's hope they found out how to pace songs or else we'll
be subjected to an 18 minute song with two riffs.

Update: This album really exceeded my expectations. Maiden has finally figured out how to pad out
songs running times, making every second of each song feel necessary. Every song fits together
like a puzzle. I think a large fact of the albums greatness is the fact that Harris was absent
through most of the songwriting process, allowing the rest of the bands writing abilities to
really shine. While not perfect, it's immensely satisfying to hear Maiden with this much energy
again. Overall a damn good album, and their best since 'The X Factor'.
Iron Savior Iron Savior
Iron Savior Battering Ram
Iron Savior Skycrest
Iron Savior Firestar
Isiliel Moonbow Rebellion
There are more than a few dry spots to be found here, but the highlights are absolutely fantastic. 'Black Moon' and 'Serpent's Aubade' are some of best tracks I've heard in 2025 thus far.

An interesting, surprising and sonically dynamic power metal album in 2022? I must be dreaming.
Journey Infinity
Journey Frontiers
Journey Freedom
I was not expecting this to be any good at all, yet here I am giving this a 4. Even though its 20 minutes too long, this is probably their strongest record since Frontiers in 85.

The More listens, the more I like it. Best Priest album since Painkiller.

Krokus Heart Attack
I don't know if I'm just easy to impress, but I really dig this. Great party rock record

An average of a 2.8? The fuck are you guys smoking? This is a killer hard rock record.
Krokus Hardware
Krokus Hellraiser
Kryptos Force Of Danger
Force of Danger may be a little more streamlined than it's predecessor, but the overall experience is a tad better in my opinion. The title track sounds like it came straight off an Ambush record, which is never a bad thing.

An adventurous little record. It's all over the place stylistically, but these mad lads actually manage to make it work. Bonus points for capping it at 8 tracks; wish more bands would stop overcramming their albums.

The operatic female vocals may be distracting and occasionally annoying, but the songs themselves are fuckin' sick.
Ninja Sex Party Strawberries and Cream
Ninja Sex Party Attitude City
Ninja Sex Party These Nuts
Their best since Attitude City. Most of the songs got a chuckle out of me, and Nut Heat legitimately made me bust a gut laughing.
Nite Voices Of The Kronian Moon

Nuclear Assault Game Over

Opeth Ghost Reveries
This album needed to be as good as it is to get the foul taste of Damnation out of my mouth.
You redeemed yourself Opeth.
Opeth The Last Will and Testament
Alright, welcome back Opeth. No more prog rock albums, okay?
Orden Ogan Vale
Orden Ogan Ravenhead
Deaf Among the Blind is THE jam, my friends.
Outworld (UY) Sky Keeper
Apparently this album was made by one dude. I am genuinely impressed with how cohesive and fleshed out the material is here.
Overkill Taking Over
Overkill Feel the Fire
Overkill White Devil Armory
Overkill The Wings of War
Yet again, my opinion on this album was grown quite a bit since the last time I listened to
it. It's undeniably their weakest record from the 2010's, but it's still leaps and bounds
above what most other thrash acts are releasing nowadays. Good luck finding a band this old
releasing music with this much intensity.

*Bumping this up from a 3.5 to a 4.
Owlbear Feather and Claw
Definitely an Owlbear situation going on here
Oxygen Destroyer Guardian of the Universe
kaiju metal always hits
Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard Of Ozz
Palantir Chasing a Dream
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Reminds me of vintage Stratovarius with it's emphasis on melody and instrumentation, but with a refreshing amount of restraint which is hard to come by these days.
Pantera Power Metal
Great album to end a career on. Shame they never made any more music after this...
Pentagram Sub-Basement
Best Pentagram album. Target fucks harder than a Taiwanese prostitute.

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
Finally, a Pink Floyd album I understand the hype behind.
Pink Floyd Meddle
The opening track is dope and 'Echoes' is amazing, but everything in between shouldn't be there. With that being said, those two songs are enough for me to actually recommend this album to people like myself, who don't enjoy prog.
Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
I am not a Pink Floyd fan by any means, but this is easily my favorite Pink Floyd record. Doesn't sound much like traditional PF, which is probably the reason I like it so much.
Poltergeist (CHE) Depression
One of those albums I listened to because I liked the cover art. Great artwork, and great record.
Poppy I Disagree (more)
These new tracks are some of Poppy's strongest material. I'd say keeping them off the initial release hurt it quite a bit. If you're gonna listen to any version this record, make it this one.
Portrait (SWE) Crossroads
Really enjoyable Fate worship.
Possessed Revelations of Oblivion
Wow, I didn't expect much going in, but I was blown away by how old-school and intense this sounded.
Power Quest Neverworld
Power Quest Magic Never Dies
Power Quest Sixth Dimension
PowerDream Beast Unleashed
This store brand Beast in Black album kinda fucks, not gonna lie.
Powerwolf Blood of the Saints
Powerwolf Call of the Wild
Okay, so I listened to this two years later, and for some reason it fucking slapped this time. Bumped from a 3 to a 4.
Powerwolf Interludium
For an album of leftovers, the material here is surprisingly awesome. Genuinely one of their strongest releases to date.
Praying Mantis Time Tells No Lies
Praying Mantis Legacy
Praying Mantis Forever in Time
Praying Mantis Gravity
Probably the band's most creative and varied release to date. Covers a lot of sonic ground, but still manages to be a cohesive package.
Praying Mantis Defiance
Color me impressed; I was not expecting this to be so good. The track "Standing Tall" is a strange, yet awesome little bit of sonic experimentation for a band that been around since the dawn of the NWOBHM.
Pretty Maids Spooked
An absolutely excellent collection of songs; the only issue is that there are a few too many. Cut about 5 to 10 minutes and this would definitely be one of their best.
Pretty Maids Red, Hot And Heavy
Pretty Maids Pandemonium
Pretty Maids Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Overdoing
Primal Fear Nuclear Fire
Primal Fear Devil's Ground

Quiet Riot QR
I genuinely don't understand the hate for this album. It's probably their most consistent release, and features quite a few bangers like "Calling the Shots" "Stay With Me Tonight" and "Don't Wanna Be Your Fool".
Radiohead The Bends
Rage Soundchaser
Rage Ghosts
Rage XIII
Rage Secrets In A Weird World
Rage Seasons of the Black
Rainbow Down To Earth
Why do people diss this album so much? Is it because Dio isn't on it? Graham Bonnet and Ritchie fuckling kill it on this record.
Rammstein Herzeleid
Rammstein Untitled
Ramones Rocket To Russia
Ramones Road To Ruin
Ramones End Of The Century
Raptore Blackfire
Looks like Enforcer's got some serious competition. Really solid shit right here.
Ratt Out Of The Cellar
Ratt Detonator

One hell of a comeback, even if it was a one off. That guitar tone fucking RIPPPPS.
Raven Wiped Out

This album went a lot harder than it needed to. No joke, one of their best.

I genuinely can't believe this album is actually good. Color me impressed.

Get it? Because the shark is red?

Riot V does it again! A rock solid dose of classic heavy metal with enough variation, soaring vocal performances, and riffage to keep you fully engaged.
Rob Zombie The Sinister Urge
Rocka Rollas Celtic Kings
Rough Silk Beyond the Sundown
Rough Silk ditch the more experimental elements of the previous two albums and get heavy. Definitely a good choice.
Rough Silk Roots Of Hate
Now THIS is a hidden gem right here. It's like if Ratt made a power metal album, and it somehow works.
Rough Silk Mephisto
The sonic progression of this band needs to be studied. It's crazy how much these guys shake up their sound on each album.
Royal Hunt The Mission
Royal Hunt Moving Target
Royal Hunt Show Me How To Live
Royal Hunt Clown In The Mirror
Running Wild Blazon Stone
Running Wild Pile Of Skulls
Running Wild The Rivalry
Running Wild Blood On Blood
If you would have told me Running Wild would release one of the best albums of their career in 2021, I would have laughed in your face and called you a complete retard. But here we are in 2021, with Running Wild releasing a late-career opus that rivals their strongest material from the 80's and 90's.
Rush Moving Pictures
Rush A Farewell To Kings
Rush Permanent Waves
Rush Grace Under Pressure

Sabaton The Art of War

No idea what Jatt means, but this album hits.

Satan Suspended Sentence
Satan Atom by Atom

Their strongest since Atom by Atom, and it might actually be a little better. Satan are the shit.

Really cool retro-metal album. Has enough riffs to feed an African village for weeks
Savatage Dead Winter Dead
Savatage Edge of Thorns
Savatage The Dungeons are Calling
Saxon Lionheart
Good album, but it's definitely a bit overrated; there are better 21st century Saxon records readily available.
Saxon Crusader
Much better than I remember it being. Production is a bit thin, but the tunes are pretty tight.
Saxon Wheels Of Steel
Saxon Destiny
I hate the "softer = shit" mindset most people have in regards to this record. Sure, it's not much of a metal album, but it's one hell of an AOR album.
Saxon Metalhead
Saxon Strong Arm Of The Law
Saxon The Inner Sanctum
Scanner Mental Reservation
Bro, wtf is wrong wit you guys? This is a stellar release from Scanner. A couple duds towards the end, but the album as a whole is really fucking solid.

Striker Stand In The Fire
Striker Play To Win
A much more cohesive and finished product than their previous release only a year prior. A small
gripe I have with the record lies in it's lyrics and how many times the phrases "Into the night"
or "Through the night" are used. The album has a bit of a pacing issue, with the tempo's lacking
variation, and the drum work, while impressive on a technical level, is a little too similar from
track to track. However, Striker manages to deliver the goods when it comes to killer production,
sheer intensity, technical ability, and raw power.

Best Tracks - Position of Power, Play to Win, Heavy is the Heart
Striker Ultrapower
Absolutely retarded, but in the most fun way possible. You will have a great time with this
one.

Tankard The Morning After
Tankard Beast of Bourbon
Tankard The Tankard

The fact that this record holds the 2nd lowest community ranking for any Tankard album is not only wrong, it's insulting. This album and RIB are among the best records the band has ever released.

Yet another shining example that Christian metal doesn't have to sound forced or sterile. Might be a little too much fluffy frilly stuff for my liking, but there is a lot of really solid material here.
Tesla The Great Radio Controversy

The Night Flight Orchestra Aeromantic
The Night Flight Orchestra Aeromantic II
Haven't listened to these guys in a long time, but I'm glad I decided to give this album a shot. 'How Long' is one of the catchiest songs I've heard in months.
The Rods Wild Dogs
A charming little hard rock/heavy metal gem from the early 80's that's definitely worth a listen.
The Rods Heavier Than Thou
The Rolling Stones Tattoo You

Of course I love their "worst" album. I have a tendency to do that... For real though, this album is a ton of fun.

Toxik Dis Morta
Wow, I wasn't expecting this to be so good. Even against their other two outstanding classic records this holds up. I know Breaking Class may have left a bad taste in your mouth, but I assure you these guys got their shit together and delivered us a smorgasbord of unorthodox thrash goodness.r
Trastorned Into The Void
I love modern thrash that's actually good.
Traveler (CAN) Prequel to Madness
Tribulation Where The Gloom Becomes Sound
The atmosphere of this album is truly exquisite. Tribulation has to be one of the best acts in all of contemporary metal.
Triumph Allied Forces
Triumph Triumph

A noted step up from the debut. Jmal00 is on crack, and Smok is on meth.r

I don't give a shit what anyone says, this album fucks.
Turbo Ostatni Wojownik
Why aren't these guys more popular? Their trad material and thrash material are both excellent and a lot of fun.
Turbo Smak Ciszy
Turnstile Time and Space
Twilight Force Heroes of Mighty Magic
Twilight Force At the Heart of Wintervale
While the longer compositions may be a little lackluster, I just can't deny how much fun this thing is. Twilight Force are THE premier act in modern power metal, so you really can't go wrong with giving this a listen. Feel-good metal at its finest.
Twisted Sister Under The Blade
Twisted Sister You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll
Tygers Of Pan Tang Spellbound

Really good. None of the tracks really stand out that much, but never once does it feel like

I was pretty "meh" on their previous album, but they really stepped up their game for this new one. Consistently enjoyable from front to back.
Voivod Killing Technology
Voivod War And Pain
Very nice. The followup kinda sucks balls, but the debut is quite satisfying.
Voivod Target Earth
Voivod Synchro Anarchy
I don't think Voivod have any bad albums left in them. I guarantee that every new record they release from here to their retirement will be absolute bangers.
Volcano (JPN) Davi
Volcano (JPN) Leviathan

W.A.S.P. Dominator
Apt title
W.A.S.P. The Last Command
Album fucks hard. Get on it you guys.
W.A.S.P. Golgotha
This is so solid. Dying For the World, Dominator and Babylon proved that W.A.S.P. were still a force to be reckoned with and Golgotha basically cemented them as living legends. I usually disapprove of bands taking themselves too seriously, but Blackie pulls it off with flying colors. Hopefully this isn't the last record they release, but if it is, it's a great note to go out on.

These guys genuinely do not give a shit. Frozen Piss 2 is a banger.
Alice Cooper Lace and Whiskey
Alice Cooper From the Inside
Alice Cooper Raise Your Fist and Yell

Avantasia Moonglow
Every song with Jorn slays, the rest of the record is a little hit or miss for me though.
Avantasia A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower
Another solid offering, but I think Tobi is getting a bit too comfortable with his songwriting.
Avantasia Here Be Dragons
Their strongest collection of songs since Ghostlights. It's nice to see Tobi becoming more direct with his songwriting, and not overdoing it with a ridiculous amount of guest stars. A lot less whimsical than the past few albums, and I think that really works to the record's advantage. Fingers crossed we get an Edguy album next, because we are long overdue.

The songwriting is a little weaker than the first 2 records, but it still delivers

Love these guys, and I really dig this new record. The boys in BC sound tight as fuck on here, leaving nothing to be desired in the performance department. I'd say may biggest critique would be the talking points and social criticisms aren't quite as sharp as they were on Bloodlust, and they seem to be treading over too much familiar water.

Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are
The weakest Gillian record of the 70's but still lightyears ahead of the first 3 albums. This really isn't half bad.
Deep Purple inFinite
Another enjoyable offering in post-Blackmore era. Some interesting ideas and concepts
present, but not too many memorable moments in the first 5 tracks. Thankfully, the second
half really picks up the slack and gives us some good shit.
Deep Purple =1
Hey, this is good stuff; Deep Purple continue to exceed my expectations. I figured they'd be toast without Morse, but just like losing Blackmore, they haven't missed a beat. Keep on keeping on DP.

Definitely a step in the right direction. They actually managed stick in a couple killer
tracks and few memorable riffs this time around. Standard, but solid modern thrash.
Detente Recognize No Authority
Dethklok Dethalbum III
A big step down from their previous album, but does get better on repeated listens.
Dethklok The Doomstar Requiem
I fucking hate musicals, but this was absolutely delightful. What a great way to end the series.
Diamond Head Canterbury
I kinda dig this, not gonna lie. However, I will attest that it probably shouldn't have been released as a Diamond Head album.
Diamond Head Diamond Head
Dio Killing The Dragon
Dio Dream Evil
Dire Straits Dire Straits
Dokken Breaking The Chains

Underwhelming first half, but side two has some sick riffs. I'm glad I gave it a listen.
DragonForce Sonic Firestorm
DragonForce Extreme Power Metal
Fuck it, I had a lot of fun with this album. I don't think it's as good as their past 3 albums, but I certainly enjoyed my time with this one.
DragonForce Warp Speed Warriors
Utterly retarded. I love it. Ya'll need to lighten up and have some fun every once and a while; this was such a good time.
Dragonknight Legions
Gets off to a rocky start, but really redeems itself once it gets to the halfway mark. Worth checking out if you need a power metal fix.

Freedom Call Crystal Empire
Freedom Call Land Of The Crimson Dawn

These guys have a certain corny vibe that always hits a sweet spot for me. They aren't worried about being cool, they just want to give you goofy and catchy power metal that makes you smile; and God bless them for it.

Solid from start to finish, but loses a little bit of steam at the halfway point.
Galneryus Advance To The Fall
Galneryus Resurrection

Green Lung Woodland Rites
I enjoyed it, but there was one glaring issue I had with it. I couldn't shake the feeling that these guys sounded like a satanic Greta Van Fleet.
Greta Van Fleet Anthem of the Peaceful Army
A consistent and catchy listen, albeit a tad uninspired and unoriginal. Lyrically the album touches upon all the lyrical tropes you would expect from an album of this nature. Despite the album's creative faults, it still remains a highly enjoyable listen with a very talented band to back it up. Hopefully they stray from the cut and paste Led Zeppelin format in the future.
Greta Van Fleet The Battle at Garden's Gate
Definitely a bit too long, but an solid throwback rock album. These guys aren't the musical disease that so many mouth breathers claim they are.
Greyhawk Thunderheart
Not sure why I enjoyed this as much as I did.
Grim Reaper Fear No Evil
Grim Reaper Walking in the Shadows
Grim Reaper At The Gates
Was not expecting this to be so good. Steve's voice is for the most part intact, and 'The Hand
That Rocks the Cradle' is among one of the band's best songs. Kinda suffers from a top heavy track
list though.

Impellitteri Eye Of The Hurricane
Impellitteri Grin And Bear It
In Flames Reroute to Remain
Infernal Majesty None Shall Defy
Insane Clown Posse Fearless Fred Fury
These guys will always be a guilty pleasure of mine. Love their cheesy horror-themed lyrics, and their bombastic 90's style production. Probably their best since Jeckel Brothers.
Insomnium In the Halls of Awaiting
Starts with a bang, but lost my attention about 2/3's of the way through. Still solid though.
Iron Fire Beyond the Void
Straightforward well performed Power Metal. That's all I wanted from this record, and it's exactly
what I got.
Iron Maiden Piece Of Mind
"Where Eagles Dare" may be one of my favorite Maiden songs, but this album also contains two of Maiden's weakest songs. "Die With Your Boots On" and "Quest For Fire" are completely abysmal efforts.
Iron Maiden Killers
Wrathchild and Killers are some of the best songs Maiden has to offer.
Iron Maiden Virtual XI
Underrated gem in Maiden's discography. Aside from the 10 minute abomination Angel and the Gambler, the rest of the material on here is really solid.

Outside of Automation, I seriously didn't enjoy any of the singles for this album.
Thankfully, the rest of the stuff on here is pretty solid, if not a tad predictable.
Intrapsort was probably the biggest surprise on here, definitely the album's biggest
highlight.

Kreator Hordes of Chaos

Krokus One Vice At A Time
Krokus Hoodoo

I really don't understand the hate boner Sputnik has for this band. It's not groundbreaking, but it is still enjoyable hard rock.
Krokus Rock The Block
Krokus Dirty Dynamite
Kryptos Afterburner
Kuenring In Search of Paradise
While it doesn't hit as hard as Neon Nights did, they definitely upped their creativity with this album becoming borderline progressive in places. Really dig the production, with the bass being front-and-center in the mix.

Nightwish Dark Passion Play
Nightwish Yesterwynde
Definitely a big step up from their previous few albums. With that being said, I wish they would have spread out the harder hitting tracks a little more, instead of placing them all in the first half.r
Ninja Sex Party The Prophecy
I'm not a big fan of the newer overproduced sound they've acquired over the past few years; or those fucking covers albums they wont stop releasing. With that being said, I'm pleasantly surprised with this one. If there's one thing these guys haven't made me do in a while, it's laugh, but The Prophecy did make me chuckle a few times. I even enjoyed the normally unfunny skits they stick in between tracks on this one.

Another one man band, but a pretty promising one at that. While some of the tracks feel a little long-winded, they at least have enough going on to make the experience a positive one. Trimming the fat, and a better vocalist could have earned this a 4.
Paradox Heresy II - End of a Legend

I was really expecting to hate "fUcK cApItAlIsM" the album, but aside from the boring rdrudgery of 'Dogs', I actually really enjoyed this one. This is a classic case of rdisagreeing with a band's message, but enjoying the record regardless.
Poppy I Disagree
I guess this is the next logical step for her to go. Concrete is easily the best song on here, kinda dips after that. Still thoroughly enjoyable though.

Q5 When the Mirror Cracks
Queen A Night at the Opera
Dude, I get Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic, but most of this album is passable pussy rock fluff. That hardened edge of the first 3 records is gone, and it is sorely lacking. I mean, this is still a solid album, but it is FAR from their best.
Queen A Day at the Races
Queen The Game
Queen The Works

The material here is definitely a big step up from their past few releases, but that 86 minute run-time is PUSHING it. Thankfully, most of the songs are short, punchy, and to the point; there just needed to be fewer of them.
Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow

Even with rock's most generic frontman Doogie White at the mic, Blackmore still managed to cobble together a solid sendoff to his legendary side project.

Testament Practice What You Preach
Testament Low
The general consensus is that The Ritual was the band selling out, and Low is a return to form, but I feel it's the other way around. If anything this album deliberately sounds like Pantera worship, while The Ritual has it's own unique brand of heavy metal. With that being said, Low is still immensely better than anything Pantera released post-CFH.

The Weeknd Dawn FM
I actually love The Weeknd, but I was kinda dreading listening to this. I was worried the oversaturation of 80's nostalgia the we've been subjected to for the past 5 years would ruin this album, but I was pleasantly surprised. The style on this record feels less like a gimmick and more like a genuine attempt at updating that late 70's early 80's disco/R&B sound. I also think the fact that I don't have to call in sick for work to finish the entire album in one sitting really helped with that. I can't stress how refreshing it is for a mainstream artist to release an album without 100 songs and 25 bonus tracks.

Everything after the first 2 tracks is great, but I definitely wouldn't consider this a

Bird of Prey may also have the worst vocal melody I've ever heard in my entire fucking
life.

Alcatrazz V
I'll be honest, I'm probably not gonna listen to this. Graham Bonnet is an amazing vocalist,
and the main reason I listened to Alcatrazz in the first place. The fact he was replaced by
the undisputed king of generic metal vocals, Doogie White is a fuckin' sin.

*update*

I hate saying this, but this is actually kinda decent. Sounds more like classic Rainbow than
Alcatrazz though.

By no means bad, but they leaned WAAAAAAAAAYYY too hard into the prog elements this time around. I recognize it's a quality album, it just isn't doing much for me.

The vocalist sounds like Bruce Dickinson on Fear of the Dark. Just Fear of the Dark. Very specific.

It's comforting to know that I can always look forward to listening to practically the same decent thrash album with dorky vocals every other year. Never stop doing what you do, Jeff.

Yeah, this really didn't do anything for me. The followup is far superior in my eyes.

Hey, this isn't half bad. Lake of Fire and Death from above are some hard jams.

This is just a solid hard rock record. Compared to early Sabbath it's not impressive, but on it's own merits its really enjoyable.

I love how every incarnation of Sabbath sounds unique and distinct from one another. I'd be lying if I said I don't have a soft spot for this one. Second half is pretty weak, but side 1 is killer.

Who the fuck thought naming the album Bananas was a good idea? Music is decent, but God that artwork and title are retarded.

Another decent offering from Evergrey, but I do feel the formula is wearing a bit thin. I really do hope they bring back some of the aggression from the first 3 albums, because their bite is almost completely gone at this point.
Excalion Once Upon A Time
Exciter Unveiling The Wicked
Exciter Kill After Kill
This album has one of the most botched production jobs I have ever heard. The guitars are thin and weak, and I'm pretty sure the band's bassist never showed up to the studio once during the entire recording process. It's a damn shame because this honestly could have been one of their best albums.

Gorillaz Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez
A slightly better version of Humanz. Not sure why this one gets so much love, pretty devoid of anything memorable.
Gorillaz Cracker Island
A clear focus and sonic direction puts this above Song Machine by a considerable amount, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. As usual, the album has too many features, most of which are not crucial and add almost nothing to the tracks themselves. Skinny Ape is a fun track though.

I like their sound, but this got a little too proggy for me. I'd probably give it a stronger rating if the songwriting was a little less self-indulgent.
Hammer King Kingdemonium
Not bad, but suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. I don't think the album leans far enough into the goofy cheese the title would have you assume.
Hammer King König und Kaiser
Wanted to give this a 3.5, but this album features one of the most blatantly obvious instances of plagiarism I've ever heard. The song 'War Hammer' is a note for note copy of 'Midnight Sun' by Helloween.

Yeah, this isn't doing much for me. I can definitely say I'm not the target demographic the frilly, fluffy material this album contains. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it pales in comparison to their last 3 records. I'd love it if they'd get heavier again.

Overkill Coverkill
Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis
Ozzy Osbourne Ordinary Man
Ozzy Osbourne Patient Number 9
While I don't think it's anything amazing, it does warm my heart to see veteran artists like Ozzy get their creative inspiration back so late in their careers.
Paladine Entering the Abyss
Pantera The Great Southern Trendkill
I don't mind this one too much. It's certainly their heaviest release, which fits the edgelord persona they attempted to create for themselves over the past couple records.
Pantera I Am the Night
Come On Eyes is a fuckin' bop.
Pantera Projects in the Jungle
A perfectly acceptable 80's metal record with the misfortune of having the Pantera name slapped on the cover.
Paragon Controlled Demolition

Pink Floyd The Division Bell
Pink Floyd The Final Cut
Pirate Hymn Explorer
Polaris The Death of Me
I have a strong distaste for metalcore and it's "woe is me" attitude, but this was alright. I didn't cringe once while listening to it, so I'd say that's an accomplishment.

If you're in the mood for some metal, this will do. Variety isn't the album's strong suit however. You could turn it off after the song Wings of Rage and not miss a single thing.
Rage Resurrection Day
Rage A New World Rising
AI cover art pisses me off, but the material is alright. Some highlights, but nothing you need to seek out.

Rexoria Imperial Dawn
Rhapsody of Fire Rain Of A Thousand Flames
Rhapsody of Fire The Eighth Mountain
An overproduced, over-polished power metal album severely lacking in the power department. One of my biggest gripes in how new vocalist Giacomo Voli sounds like he's going to break down and cry for the entire record. It has one hell of a closing track though.r*update*rMuch better than I remember it being, but it still isn't anything spectacular.
Rhapsody of Fire Challenge The Wind
Another okay offering from Rhapsody of Fire. While the material is solid, it's sorely lacking Rhapsody's trademark sound. Any power metal band could have released this and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Riot The Brethren Of The Long House
Riot Inishmore
Rob Zombie Educated Horses
Rob Zombie The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy...
Rough Silk Symphony of Life
The first Rough Silk album where the band doesn't really sound inspired. Not their worst, but just not all that memorable. The Jon Oliva feature on Lucifer was pleasant surprise though.

Sabaton Attero Dominatus
Sabaton The War To End All Wars
A far cry from their excellent previous album, but it's still really enjoyable. Sabaton always manages to put a smile on my face.
Sabaton Legends
A noted improvement over the previous record. Definitely not gonna change any minds, but I enjoyed it.
Sacred Reich Independent
Sacred Reich Heal
Sacrifice Torment In Fire
Sacrifice Apocalypse Inside
Saltatio Mortis Finsterwacht
Do not listen to this if you hate bagpipes
Sanctuary The Year The Sun Died
Savage Master Those Who Hunt At Night
Savatage Fight for the Rock
This album really isn't as bad as most people portray it to be. It definitely doesn't hold a candle to the rest of their discography, but its perfectly acceptable on its own merits.
Savatage Sirens
Saxon Into The Labyrinth
Into the Labyrinth is the first and only Saxon album from the 2000's that I would consider just okay. I rarely ever hark on a record for being "over-produced", but this album is definitely missing the bite of their previous 5 releases..
Saxon Carpe Diem
Definitely a disappointment for me. I LOVED Thunderbolt, but the material on here just isn't all that memorable. Very mild recommendation.
Scanner The Cosmic Race
There are some really good songs on here, but I'm actually shocked by how slopping the drumming is. This is like post-2010 Niko McBrain levels of sloppy. If that issue had been fixed, this would be be something special.

Sepultura Dante XXI
Sepultura Against
Underrated for sure. The boys sound tight as ever, and Derek Green's vocals are a big step up from Cavalera's. Nothing mind-blowing to be found here, but still one of the few groove metal albums I don't immediately want to shut off.
Sepultura A-Lex
Serious Black Vengeance Is Mine
Seven Spires A Fortress Called Home
Seventh Avenue Tales of Tales
I feel like I should have enjoyed this more than I did.
Seventh Wonder Tiara
ShadowStrike Traveler's Tales
Not amazing, but these guys do show promise. I think they'll be releasing some bangers down the line.
Silver Talon Decadence And Decay
I can tell these guys have potential, but I don't think they knocked it out of the park with their debut. My major gripe is that this album doesn't feature a single catchy hook or memorable melody. It's good, but it could have been much better.
Silverlane Inside Internal Infinity
Sinner Wild 'N' Evil
Sinner Danger Zone
Sinner Touch Of Sin
Sinner Comin' Out Fighting
I don't think this band will ever release a record that goes above or below a 3. They are perpetually "just okay".

Only worthwhile record the band released after Seasons in the Abyss
Slipknot The End, So Far
Nowhere near as good as the last album, but far from horrible.
Sodom Masquerade In Blood
Nothing special, but it did tear me a new asshole.
Sodom Obsessed By Cruelty
Solid, if not a a bit unremarkable. It's decent, but a tad too disjointed and eclectic for my taste.
Sodom Get What You Deserve
Sodom Epitome Of Torture
Probably Sodom's most melodic offering. I understand why people dislike this one, but I think it's pretty decent.
Sonata Arctica Unia
Sonata Arctica Stones Grow Her Name
Spellcaster Night Hides The World
Spirit Adrift Divided by Darkness
Star One Revel in Time

The hatred this album receives is some of the most overblown shit I've ever seen. It's a pleasant 80's pop rock record with a couple legit bangers.

Woof, I don't think it's nearly as bad as people are saying. It's not great, but it has it's charm.
The Ferrymen Iron Will
The Night Flight Orchestra Give Us The Moon
Definitely not their strongest release. While this album definitely carries that familiar NFO vibe, it is seriously lacking in memorable moments. With that being said, it is still a pleasant listen, just could have benefited from a few surprises here and there.

Toto Turn Back
Toto Mindfields
This album falls to an issue a lot of bands were dealing with in the mid to late 90s. CD's made it possible to fit more content onto a disc, so bands just started cramming way too much fucking music into their LPs. Some good stuff on here, but God its way too fucking long.
Toxic Holocaust Primal Future: 2019
Triton Project Messenger's Quest
I commend the effort, but the second half of the album got way too self-indulgent for my liking. Having two 20+ minute songs on one album is crazy; and putting them back-to-back is even crazier.
Triumph The Sport Of Kings
Trivium Ember to Inferno
Tungsten (SWE) Bliss
I'm pretty mixed on this one. While I can appreciate they have a unique sound, I feel like they stylistically leaned a bit to much into modern metal trends.

Uriah Heep Return to Fantasy

I always have a soft spot for sellout records. This, Saxon's 'Destiny', and Deep Purple's 'Slaves and Masters' are all cut from the same cheesy cloth; and I love it.
Uriah Heep Sonic Origami
Uriah Heep Into the Wild
Uriah Heep Chaos & Colour
Van Halen A Different Kind Of Truth
I remember absolutely hating this album back in the day, but on my latest relisten I actually kinda dig it. DLR sounds kinda rough, but there are some quality tunes on here, especially on the second half with tracks like Outta Space and Stay Frosty.
Venom Resurrection
Venom The Waste Lands
Venom Fallen Angels

Come on guys, this isn't that bad. Sput users have the strangest hate boner for this band.
Veonity Elements of Power
Vicious Rumors Electric Punishment
Vicious Rumors Concussion Protocol
Virgin Steele Guardians Of The Flame
Virgin Steele Life Among The Ruins
It's a decent cock-rock/metal record with a few fun tracks. My biggest issue comes from the dogshit track order. Who's decision was it to make the last FOUR tracks consecutive ballads?
Virgin Steele The Black Light Bacchanalia

Fine while it's on, but doesn't leave much of any impact. Really cool artwork, though.

definitely one of the Warbringer albums of all time.
Warmen Here For None
White Wizzard Flying Tigers
Whitesnake Trouble
Pretty unremarkable, but it does have some standouts like 'Nighthawk' and 'The Time is Right For Love'. if you are in the mood for a solid collection of memorable riffs, this will do the trick.
Whitesnake Lovehunter
Artwork is better than the album itself. The album itself is just okay.

Babymetal minus the fun and creativity. Genuinely dissappointed.

Bad Religion How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but the songwriting just isn't there.
Bathory Octagon
The fuck is wrong with me?
Beyonce Lemonade
Wouldn't have listened to this on my own volition, but I had to for film class. It's not bad, but there are some seriously cringeworthy lyrics on here that really conflict with the serious tone it's going for. I knew this wasn't gonna be up my alley, but I'm surprised by just how much I didn't like it.
Black Label Society Grimmest Hits
Black Majesty Oceans Of Black
Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy
I rarely ever chastise a band for softening their sound as long as the music they write is good. The music here isn't BAD, it's just insanely forgettable.
Black Sabbath Forbidden
Probably the most overhated metal album of all time. It's nothing special, but it's more than competent.
Blind Guardian Legacy Of The Dark Lands
I kept waiting for something to blow me away, but it never happened. There isn't anything bad on here, but there isn't anything noteworthy either. It really does feel like a collection of tracks meant to be squeezed in between normal Blind Guardian songs.

Slightly better than the MKI albums, but not by much. This record sounds stale as fuck.
Deep Purple The Battle Rages On...
It's pretty evident nobody in Deep Purple had any ideas for this album.
Deep Purple The Book Of Taliesyn
Slightly better than the debut, but not by a noticeable amount. Passable, but not worth your time.
Deep Purple Deep Purple
Not sure why people hate the first 2 but magically enjoy this one. Sounds the exact same as their first 2 records to me. Thank God this is the last MKI album, and thank God MKII is superior in every single way.
Deep Purple Shades Of Deep Purple
Generic, bland, flavorless psychedelic rock with one really good song. This really does nothing for me.

Eynomia Sea of Tears
Fathomless Skywalker Anthems of the Resilient
Some solid musicianship and songwriting, but I genuinely cannot stand this style of female vox. Like for the love of God, hold a fucking note for longer than a nanosecond and knock the vibrato shit off.
Fear Factory Aggression Continuum
I don't think I like Fear Factory.
Feuerschwanz Warriors
I usually have a soft spot for this brand of over-the-top, anthemic power metal, but this one just didn't hit for me.
Firewind Burning Earth
Firewind Few Against Many
this is the most "okay" power metal band to ever exist
Flotsam and Jetsam High
Freedom Call Legend Of The Shadowking
Gamma Ray Land of the Free II
Only one memorable track, and it is ruined by Kai's 13 year old reddit athiest lyrics.
It's fine I guess, but definitely their worst album in my opinion
Gary Moore G-Force
Gene Simmons Gene Simmons
Ghost (SWE) Impera
Side one is impeccable, and has easily some of the bands strongest tracks to date. Side 2 however, is pretty much irredeemable and features undoubtably the worst handful of songs the band has ever recorded. "Darkness At the Heart of My Love" makes my fucking skin crawl.
Glasya Attarghan
I respect the ambition, but it's severely lacking in memorable moments.
Godzilla Godzilla
One of the most enjoyable bad albums of all time. It's so fucking corny and innocent that I can't help but love it.

Iron Maiden No Prayer For The Dying
I hate giving anything by Maiden such a low score, but this album really bombs. Tailgunner is really the only decent track on this album. But thats about it. The rest of the album is complete filler to the worst extent.
Iron Maiden The Final Frontier
Side one is excellent and contains some late-career gems, but dear God that second half is boring. Sticking five 7+ minute tracks back to back should be punishable by law.
Iron Savior Megatropolis
Iron Savior Kill or Get Killed
Serviceable, but it's really nothing more than by the books power metal. Sick artwork though.

This is some inoffensive shit right here. Totally unremarkable, but okay while it's on.
Keel The Right To Rock
Speed Demon and You're the Victim slap really hard, but the rest of the material is laughably derivative in almost every way imaginable.
Kerry King From Hell I Rise
I hate Kerry King, but I can't really bring myself to hate this album. It's competent, albeit formulaic, by-the-numbers thrash. No memorable moments, riffs, or ideas, but nothing worth getting upset over. It's fine.
Killswitch Engage Atonement
King Crimson Larks' Tongues in Aspic
SooOOOO PROg!!!!!
King Crimson Islands
King Diamond The Graveyard
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Eyes Like The Sky
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Laminated Denim
Hypertension is good, but that first song is about as boring as Gizz can get.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard The Silver Cord
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Phantom Island
I've never been a fan of KG's more relaxed and mellow outings, and this album does nothing to change my opinion. Kinda sounds like the type of shit you'd hear in a tropical resort's buffet dining room.
Kingdom Come Bad Image
Kingdom Come Twilight Cruiser
Kingdom Come Too
Kingdom of Tyrants Architects of Power
KISS Crazy Nights
KISS Unmasked
KK's Priest Sermons Of The Sinner
I love KK and Ripper, so I definitely was expecting to like this way more than I did. I
wouldn't say it's a bad record, but it is a pretty generic one.
Krokus Painkiller
Labyrinth Welcome to the Absurd Circus
Not gonna lie, I found this album to be kind of a snoozefest. Just didn't click with me I guess.
Lacuna Coil Black Anima
It's a no from me. The heavily distorted alt metal guitars layered on top of clean angelic vocals,
paired with some totally EPIC and BRUTAL screams are just silly. I know it's their sound, but
their sound just doesn't work for me.
Leaves' Eyes Myths Of Fate
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin III

Marco Garau's Magic Opera Battle of Ice
Generic, derivative and inoffensive.
Masterplan Novum Initium
Mastodon Medium Rarities
Meat Loaf Midnight at the Lost and Found

Instrumental records do nothing for me, unless it's synthwave.
Mercyful Fate Dead Again
Metal Church Generation Nothing
Metallica Reload
Metallica Beyond Magnetic
Metallica 72 Seasons
I stan Metallica's newer material, but this album isn't cutting it. The lack of variety is what kills it for me. There just isn't enough going on sonically to warrant that ludicrous 87 minute runtime.
Midnight Let There Be Witchery
Millennial Reign World on Fire
We ain't looking at Stryper levels of Christian metal here, boys. It's not terrible by any means, it just isn't interesting at all.
Motley Crue Motley Crue
Mr. Bungle Disco Volante
A record that's eclectic for eclectic's sake. Sure, the debut was all over the place stylistically, but not once did it sound forced or pretentious. Sadly, I can't say the same about this record.
Nekrogoblikon Goblin Island
Nevermore Nevermore
Nevermore The Obsidian Conspiracy
bro, why does this site have such a boner for this band?

Opeth Morningrise
just because you can write a 20 minute song doesn't mean you should fucking do it. It gets a 2.5 for ambition, and that's it.
Opeth Heritage
I usually hate prog rock, but this is fine I guess. At least this album has a few dynamic elements and actual riffs, unlike the ungodly tedious torture device known as 'Damnation". I'm never gonna listen to it again, but it wasn't awful while it was on.
Opeth Pale Communion
More "Heritage", which is acceptable I guess.
Opeth Sorceress
Overkill ReliXIV
Overkill Bloodletting
Ozzy Osbourne Bark At The Moon
Ozzy Osbourne Black Rain
Pantera Vulgar Display of Power
The album where Pantera dived headfirst into try-hard edgelord territory. Thankfully there is JUST enough decent riffing for me to give it a pass. The riff on Walk is fucking terrible though.
Pantera Reinventing the Steel
This would be a 2 if it wasn't for the fact that Goddamn Electric is one of the few post-Cowboys Pantera tracks I actually enjoy.
Pantera Metal Magic
I know it isn't metal of the confederate wife beating persuasion, but it's actually a pretty
listenable record in it's own right.
Paragon Metalation
Paul Stanley Paul Stanley
Pentagram Review Your Choices
I know Bobby can sing, he did it on the album prior, and every album afterwards. He just sounds fucking weird here, and it kinda ruins the album for me.

what the fuck happened between this and Testimony?

Petra Never Say Die
Petra Petra Praise 2
Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother
The title track is decent, everything after it is it's own special brand of forgettable.
Pink Floyd A Saucerful Of Secrets
Much better than the debut. They managed to cram all the obnoxious ambient fiddle-fucking rto one song this time, and even that song is listenable. Not planning on listening to rthis again, but I didn't feel like the band was actively wasting my time like on 'Piper'.
Pink Floyd Obscured By Clouds
Not as good as Meddle, but heaps better than the pretentious dogshit of the first 3 records.
Pink Floyd More
I don't know what's wrong with me, but this is easily my favorite PF album so far. Probably because The Nile Song is the first Floyd tune I'd willingly listen to again.
Powerwolf Return in Bloodred
Praying Mantis Throwing Shapes (as Stratus)
It's okay
Pretty Maids Wake Up To The Real World
Prydain The Gates of Aramore
Queensryche American Soldier
At least this one felt like it had a little passion behind it
Radiohead Pablo Honey
Rage Prayers Of Steel
Rage 21
Ramones Pleasant Dreams
Ramones Acid Eaters
Ratt Ratt
This album suffers from a chronic case of "just okay".
Raven Everything Louder
Ravensire A Stone Engraved in Red
Razor Custom Killing
Rhapsody of Fire Dark Wings Of Steel
About as by-the-numbers as a power metal album could be. Insanely weak follow up to Eternity.
Rhapsody of Fire Glory For Salvation
I thought the last album was boring and lame, but this thing easily tops it. Worst Rhapsody album to date; albeit with a couple enjoyable singles.
Rigorious Kingdom Unfold
Ring Of Fire Gravity
I feel like there was a considerable amount of time and effort that went into creating this album, it's just a shame that I was kinda bored by it regardless.
Rough Silk Walls Of Never
Royal Hunt Eye Witness
Royal Hunt Cast in Stone
Running Wild Resilient
Rush Caress Of Steel
Sabaton Metalizer
Sacrifice The Ones I Condemn

I can't be the only one who thought this was boring as fuck, right?

Scorpions Eye II Eye
Seiko Matsuda Sweet Memories '93
Sepultura Kairos
Seven Kingdoms Zenith
Meh incarnate
Silent Force Rising from Ashes
Sinner Fast Decision
Not sure why I decided to listen to this band's entire discography. I guess it just feels good to listen to a band that has practically no fanbase; makes me feel special.
Sinner Respect
Sinner's Blood Dark Horizons
Sirenia 1977
SkeleToon They Never Say Die
"Alright, let's make a Goonies album." - Some guy from SkeleToon.
Slade Play It Loud
Slayer God Hates Us All
Better than the 3 records that preceded it; but fuck me those lyrics are next-level try-hard shit.
Slayer Divine Intervention
Stunning quality drop you got here, Slayer. Good on you.
Slayer Repentless
Sodom 'Til Death Do Us Unite
Definitely their worst up to this point. The last two records may have been different, but at least those records sounded like they were trying. This just sound like a band that's bored with themselves.
Sodom The Final Sign Of Evil
A commendable effort to revisit their sonic roots, but not one I'm ever gonna listen to again.
Sodom The Arsonist
A couple cool ideas here and there, but the band seems hard stuck at 60% for the majority of the album. Really sick artwork though.
Sonata Arctica The Ninth Hour
Star Eternal Atlas
Probably the most okay thing I've heard all year. The Earth is no better or worse because this exists.
Starbomb The Tryforce
Stormwarrior Heavy Metal Fire
Stratovarius Elysium
Styx Cyclorama
Styx Brave New World
at least the artwork is pretty to look at

The early years of power metal were pretty rough. Imagine early Manowar minus the creativity or purpose.

Visions Of Atlantis Pirates
The orchestral arrangements are great, but the songs just aren't memorable in any way shape or form.
Voivod Negatron
Voivod Phobos
Voivod RRRÖÖÖAAARRR
It's like the debut, but not good.
Walk With Titans Olympian Dystopia
Warkings Morgana
Weezer Van Weezer
Extremely lame, but kind of enjoyable regardless.
Whiteabbey Words That Form the Key
just a gay little album
Whitesnake Snakebite
Slightly below average blues rock. Skip it.
Winterage Nekyia
Bland and forgettable symphonic power metal, with a surprisingly awesome instrumental towards the tail end of the record.
Witherfall Curse Of Autumn
Yeah, this really didn't do anything for me; but that's to be expected from a prog-metal record.
Wonders Beyond the Mirage
Y&T Musically Incorrect
Not sure what they were thinking with this one. Sounds like a budget Cinderella.
Yngwie Malmsteen Unleash The Fury

Udo's reunion with Accept featured one good album, one mediocre album, and one terrible album. This is the terrible one.
Accept Humanoid
God damn it.
Alice Cooper Easy Action
Alice Cooper Pretties For You
Allen/Olzon Army Of Dreamers
What a boring little album.
Amon Amarth The Crusher
With a badass title like that, I wasn't expecting this to be one of the most unremarkable
melo-death albums I've ever heard.
Amon Amarth Berserker
Amon Amarth have never sounded so tedious. This album was a really boring listen from beginning to
end.
Amorphis Am Universum
Annihilator All for You
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you quite possibly the safest thrash album ever recorded. It's so utterly inoffensive that it becomes annoying.
Anvil Absolutely No Alternative
Are you sure there isn't an alternative?
Anvil Plugged In Permanent
Anvil Speed Of Sound
Anvil Legal At Last
The one time I smoked weed nobody told me it was laced with some sort of hallucinogen, and
I had a hellish nightmare trip. Now every time I smell it I get PTSD.
Attacker The God Particle
The artwork is better than the music.
Avaland The Legend of the Storyteller
So fucking boring
Axxis Voodoo Vibes
When people say that the 90's ruined metal music, this is the type of shit they're talking about. Truly an abhorrent decade.
Bad Religion No Substance
Bathory Requiem
Sure, the production is SLIGHTLY better than Octagon, but the overall songs are worse. At least the dumpster-fire production on Octagon made it memorable.
Beyond The Black Beyond the Black
This kinda sucks. Such a nothing album
Boston Life, Love & Hope
What the fuck is this? Where are the riffs? The guitar harmonies? Songs that actually rock? Literally every song is a love song and it's pissing me off.
Bow Wow (JPN) Guarantee
I'm all for a good sellout record, but this simply did not work. If this was a full blown pop-rock record it could have been great, but the band never fully commit to the sound, leaving it in a dull grey area where no genuine creativity could shine through.
Brainstorm Scary Creatures
British Lion The Burning
Wow, this was letdown. Production is thin, Steve's bass is pretty much inaudible throughout, and
every song is mindbogglingly generic. I seriously can't recommend this one.
Carcass Reek of Putrefaction
I hate this, but it made me bust a gut laughing on numerous occasions. Absolutely fucking hilarious.
Celtic Frost Vanity/Nemesis
Not a good album by any means, but there are some bangers towards the end of the record.
Cradle of Filth Nymphetamine
Why is this 80 minutes long?
Cradle of Filth Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa
Bro, what the fuck happened to this band?
Crusade of Bards Tales of the Seven Seas
Does anyone actually like this style of power metal?
Crystallion Heads or Tails
One of the most unremarkable albums I've ever heard.
Cynic Traced in Air
What is this nonsense?
Danzig Black Laden Crown
Danzig has never sounded less inspired as he does right here. Fucking snoozefest.
Darkthrone Goatlord
I can see why this wasn't released. A few neat riffs here and there, but most of it sounds like sloppy jam sessions.
Darkthrone F.O.A.D.
Run of the mill throwback metal record with some cool riffs, but awful vocals and lyrics.
David Lee Roth Skyscraper
Deep Sun Dreamland - Behind the Shades
An album so boring you will actually visit the location mentioned in the album title.
Demon Heart of Our Time
The fuck is this shit, Demon? The Carpenters sound hardcore compared to this weaksauce.
Destruction Spiritual Genocide
First and last track are good, and that's it. About as by-the-numbers as you can get.
Destruction Birth of Malice
Thought they were taking steps in the right direction with Diabolical; seems I was dead wrong. There is absolutely nothing of value to be gained from this album.
Devin Townsend Empath
There are so many sub-par aspects of this record. There is consistently too much shit going on all
at once, and nothing ever comes together as a cohesive whole. Clocking in at a meaty 75 minutes, I
could not wait for this thing to end.
Diamond Head What's In Your Head?
Come on guys, it's not THAT bad. I was expecting an ear raping, and what I got a was mediocre, but inoffensive hard rock album.

oh my god

What a profoundly boring album.
Five Finger Death Punch F8
Flotsam and Jetsam Dreams of Death
Flotsam and Jetsam Unnatural Selection
Forged in Black Descent of the Serpent
Pretty generic thrash, with a decent vocalist. Skip it.
Front Row Warriors Wheel of Fortune
The most nothing album I've heard all year
Ghost (SWE) If You Have Ghost
a collection of bad covers recorded in a Spirit Halloween
Ghost (SWE) Phantomime
Unremarkable, unwarranted, and utterly useless.
Gorguts Obscura
Everything on this album sounds like a mistake.
Gorillaz The Fall
The only thing on here worth listening to is Amarillo. It's inoffensive, and didn't piss me off, so I'll give it a generous 2 and not a 1.5.
Gorillaz Humanz
A Gorillaz album in name only. A hodgepodge of serviceable pop tracks with a ludicrous amount of features, and severe lack of personality that made Gorillaz so special.
Grave Digger Witch Hunter
Green Day Father of All Motherfuckers
I mean it's bad don't get me wrong, but I still enjoyed it more than the steaming pile of shit Blink-182 released last year. This is a masterpiece in comparison.
House of Lords The Power And The Myth
Hypocrisy Into the Abyss
One of the most insane quality drops I've ever encountered.
Iced Earth The Crucible Of Man
The first half of this album is so fucking boring. 2nd half is a little better, but not by a whole lot.
In Flames Siren Charms
Iron Maiden A Matter Of Life And Death
A Matter of Life and Dearth
Journey Next
Judas Priest Rocka Rolla
Kamelot Poetry for the Poisoned

Pretty sure they got an 8th grader to write these lyrics.

A power metal band tries making a U2 album. It's just as bad as you think it would be.
Kerion Cloudriders: Age of Cyborgs
They tried. It didn't work, but they tried
Kilmara Journey to the Sun
Slightly more creative than white noise, but just as boring.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Sketches of Brunswick East (w/ Mild High Club)

Generic contemporary Christian radio rock. Lacks all the charm and character that make Petra so special.
Pink Floyd The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
My Pink Floyd journey is off to a VERY rough start. I have a feeling this isn't the last
time Pink Floyd are going to waste my time with tedious avant-garde bullshit.

Getting pretty sick of these so-called "power metal" bands releasing albums without any power.

Okay, this one sucks
Sepultura Roorback
48 minutes of nothing. My entire existence is exactly the same as it was before I gave this listen. I literally have NO emotions positive or negative towards this album.
Sinner Mask Of Sanity
Skillet Victorious
This is pretty much just heavy metal Imagine Dragons, albeit with a couple decent songs. Think I'll just stick to Stryper.

I swear Kerry King is a 13 year old edge-lord reddit athiest.

Come on guys, this isn't THAT bad.
Wizard Metal in My Head
This is what power metal sounds like to people who don't like power metal.

I can hear the vocalist taking breaths between notes and it's super distracting. Once you notice it, you can't unhear it.
Yngwie Malmsteen Attack!!
Yngwie Malmsteen World On Fire
Yngwie Malmsteen Blue Lightning
ZZ Top XXX

1.5 very poor
Alice Cooper Zipper Catches Skin
Andrew Lloyd Webber Cats: Original Broadway Cast
Terrible concept, terrible stage show, terrible story line, and terrible lyrics. If it wasn't for the competent execution and performances this would be completely nonredeemable. With that being said, it still manages to be somewhat listenable in comparison to the film adaptation's soundtrack.
Annihilator Remains
Wanna know what kind of albums I like? rGood ones.
Anvil One And Only
This might be the most uneventful album I've ever heard in my entire life. 12 tracks of pure nothing.
Bad Religion Into the Unknown
This is what Styx sounds like to people who hate Styx.
Blood Incantation Timewave Zero
shit sucks yo
Def Leppard X
Disturbed Evolution
DragonForce Ultra Beatdown
Ultra Beatdown is the ultimate test of human patience. I genuinely like DragonForce, but
fuck me this album is insufferable.

no

Nah man... this aint it.
Hypocrisy Catch 22

of Fortune.
Luke Bryan Crash My Party
Luke Bryan Kill the Lights
Marius Danielsen War of the World
Megadeth The World Needs A Hero
The worst Megadeth album. At least Super Collider has Kingmaker and some tracks that are
fun to laugh at; this thing feels like one long dogshit filler track.
Metallica St. Anger
Motley Crue Generation Swine
Opeth Damnation
Uhhh guys? 4.2? We can't be serious, right?

Thanks for wasting my fucking time, Pink Floyd. Hope the next album actually features rmusic.

I'm not sure I can comprehend this. Almost so bad it's good. ALMOST.
Rough Silk A New Beginning
What the fuck man.
Shining (NOR) Animal
Slayer Diabolus In Musica
Steel Panther Heavy Metal Rules
I actually really like Steel Panther, but there is no way they put ANY effort into this one. Gods
of Pussy did give me a pretty solid laugh, though.
Stone Temple Pilots Perdida
What a boring piece of shit this is. Counting Crows sound butch compared to these guys.
Stratovarius Stratovarius
Tankard Disco Destroyer
Fuck it, I'll take disco.
Tenacious D Post-Apocalypto
The Offspring Let the Bad Times Roll
It's amazing how The Offspring couldn't manage to write a memorable song over the course of 9 years.
Thor Ride of the Iron Horse
Objectively, this album is absolutely terrible. But it honestly is one of the greatest so-bad-its-good records to come along in quite some time. Whether it be the flabby production, pedestrian drum-work, the corny vocals, or the absolutely hysterical lyrics, this thing checks literally every box on the bad album bingo card. But it does it with such conviction and fervor that it inadvertently becomes an endearing masterpiece of bad. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who wants a good laugh to give this thing a shot, because it's a lot of fun.
Three Days Grace Outsider
Tungsten (SWE) The Grand Inferno
A complete and total flop. Stylistically, the music on this record is all over the place, and is comes across as a total mess from start to finish. Whether it be "Vantablack", which sounds like a dollar store version of a Rammstein B-side, or "Falling Apart" with it's cringeworthy metalcore riffs and screams, absolutely nothing about this albums works.
Ultra-Violence Beyond
Did this kill the band? I hope this killed the band.
Uriah Heep High and Mighty
Van Halen Van Halen III
Venom Hell
Virgin Steele Nocturnes Of Hellfire & Damnation
The vocals ruin anything this album had going for it. I'm not even sure how Defeis managed to make some of these inhuman moans. He should have just stuck to the hoarse whispering he did on the previous release.
Voivod Infini
The past 4 albums weren't good, but Infini is the first Voivod album that I'd consider to be genuinely bad. This sucked.
Waterparks FANDOM
I somehow still enjoyed this more than Blink-182's album this year.
Whyzdom Of Wonders And Wars
Nothing about this album works.
Xentrix Scourge
Fuck you Pantera.
Yngwie Malmsteen Spellbound

1.0 awful
Agent Steel No Other Godz Before Me
Some of the worst vocals I have ever heard in my entire life.
blink-182 Nine
I have no idea why this is album is getting any praise at all. This album was absolute trash. Top
to bottom garbage.
Buckcherry Warpaint
This album actually hurts to listen to. Todd's voice on this record gave me a fucking headache. No joke
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Trout Mask Replica
I'm sorry, but this album sounds like fucking dogshit. I genuinely hope the legacy and cult following it's garnered is completely ironic.
Cardi B Invasion of Privacy
Cardi B is insufferable to listen to for 2 minutes; how the fuck can people take an entire album of this obnoxious squawking retard?
Clown Core Toilet
Witch Pussy is such a great title.
Danzig Danzig 5: Blackacidevil
Oh my fucking god this is wretched. What the FUCK Glenn?
Destruction The Least Successful Human Cannonball
Fuck groove metal, honestly. Pantera sucks, and this does too.

They made people pay for this. People paid for this. We can never allow things like this to persist.
Kendrick Lamar DAMN. Collector's Edition
KeyDragon I Dance With Dragons
One of the most uniquely awful albums I've ever heard. Bafflingly horrendous.
KeyDragon Drink from the Waters of War
The music is somehow even worse than the album cover.
Lin-Manuel Miranda Hamilton - Original Broadway Cast
Pure, finely cut, unadulterated, grade-A, FUCKING CRINGE.
Linkin Park One More Light
Logic Supermarket (Soundtrack)
Lou Reed Metal Machine Music
Loudness Engine
I refuse to believe people actually enjoy this.

The best metal album ever recorded.

Somebody listened to this and told him, "Yeah, that sounds good. Release it".
Poppy Music to Scream To
Sunn O))) really dropped the ball this time around.

This isn't very good.
Queensryche Q2K
One of the worst albums I've ever heard in my entire life.

What the fuck.

Shockingly bad. It's insane how such a talented band could release something this awful.
Sam Hunt Montevallo
Sam Hunt Southside
Six Feet Under Nightmares of the Decomposed
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sleep Token Even in Arcadia
Trust me, I love being a contrarian; but this is genuinely fucking atrocious.
Sutcliffe Jugend We Spit On Their Graves
What a pleasant album
Tank Sturmpanzer (Algy Ward's Tank)
Holy shit. What? This was released? This isn't even demo quality. How could this happen? Who let this happen?
Tarantula Thunder Tunes From Lusitania
Nobody tried.
The Beach Boys Summer in Paradise
The Shaggs Philosophy of the World
Tones and I The Kids Are Coming
keep the kids as far away from me as humanly possible
Tygers Of Pan Tang Mystical
Quite possibly the worst "comeback" album I've ever heard. If the material here is what enticed them to reform, then they definitely should have remained broken up. Head-scratchingly bad.
XXXTENTACION Members Only Vol. 3
Zac Brown Band The Owl
They gave genre jumping a shot back in 2015, and it produced middling effects at best. Jekyll
+Hyde wasn't great, but it at least had a couple alright tracks on it, and 2017's 'Welcome Home'
was a welcomed return to form for me. However, 'The Owl' is might be the biggest dip in quality
I've ever heard from any band ever. After hearing this, it's pretty obvious they don't give a
quarter of a shit anymore. The song 'God Given' has given me confidence in saying I'm probably not
gonna give any subsequent albums of theirs a spin.
