Galneryus Advance To The Fall
Galneryus The Flag Of Punishment
Galneryus Under the Force of Courage
Without question, the peak of Sho-era
Galneryus. What this concept album lacks in
complex narrative, it makes up for in sonic
cohesion and consistent quality. Won't change
your mind on cheesy power metal, but boy is it
an excellent example of the genre. Favorite

Kuroyume Mayoeru Yuritachi ~Romance of Scarlet~
Not a single dull moment on here. Kiyoharu and the rest of Kuroyume show their penchant for self-reinvention, delivering a work that - while radically different from their last LP - serves up another lean cut of VK perfection from the 90s Nagoya scene. Otherworldly, romantic, and consistently engaging, this is an addictive and impeccably-curated album.
Kuroyume Nakigara wo...
One of the best and most important releases in early-90s VK. Moments like "DEATH MASK" show touches of a band that still hasn't entirely grown into their own skin, but this is an incredible gothic rock album - a stunning debut with enormous significance.

While this demo sounds much closer to your
average 90s VK than the unique sound they
would craft on later releases, Cali Gari's
first release is still an essential, highly-
enjoyable entry into their canon. Raw,
blistering punk-tinged J-rock in a concise
package. It's been almost 30 years, and the
band still revisits most of these songs - a
testament to this tapes quality.rBest track:

band has an output that is consistently fun and engaging, this album keeps that going strong w/ an eclectic mix of against me!'s sound. highlights are "boyfriend," "dead rats," and "norse truth."

Pretty solid entry into the Galneryus catalogue, albeit not the most remarkable. The 6 proper cuts are all pretty quality, while the Re-Recordings feel a little tacked on and unnecessary.

Metallica Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
metallica sounding very comfortable in their own skin - while death magnetic felt like an remulation of days past, hardwired sounds like an album that the band wrote in the present. the rsongwriting is genuine, thoughtful, and energetic. not their best work, but as a longtime rmetallica fan, it makes me smile to hear them put out an album that's this enjoyable in r2016. to be fair, though, it really didn't need to be a double album, and loading the back half rwith midpaced tracks wasn't the best idea. still, most of the material on here is incredibly rsolid. favorite tracks: halo on fire, here comes revenge, spit out the bone

Galneryus One For All - All For One
I almost can't blame Yama-B for wanting to leave after this album. It isn't awful, but this is such a stark drop in quality when compared to everything they released before this. Very hard-rock-flavored. This album succeeded at breaking them into the J-Rock mainstream, but that doesn't save it from mediocrity.
Galneryus Phoenix Rising
One For All Pt. 2: This Time With Even More Butt Rock. Has some winners like Tear Off Your Chain, Future Never Dies, and TFFB, but those tracks can't save it. Unfortunately, the frequency with which "Bash Out!" plagues their live sets won't let me forget about this album.
