| Dream Theater Images And Words |
| An excellent release in every sense of word, Dream Theater's "Images and Words" hits all the right notes. It combines the best of pop sensibilities with the best of heavy metal and progressive rock sensibilities. Every song here is killer, and every bandmember is at their A-game; there's very good chemistry this time around, and the songwriting is impressive to say the least. Move over, Queensryche!! |
| Dream Theater Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory |
| An intoxicating musical journey about a modern man haunted by a heinous crime, "Scenes from a Memory" is a triumph of musical storytelling and unabashed rock and roll. Even though a couple songs could be trimmed for time, the musical content here is just breathtaking. This is quite possibly the peak of Dream Theater's musical career, and the best progressive rock album since Rush's "Moving Pictures". |
| Dream Theater Live at Budokan |
| Dream Theater's second filmed appearance in Japan since 1993 may very well be the best thing they ever put out, and for many good reasons. It showcases their more metallic side (Train of Thought and Six Degrees are the main focus), and illustrates that Portnoy's filmmaking skills have finally caught up with his drumming and lyrical skills. Don't worry, they play a couple classics as well. The band shows more power and chemistry here than any of their previous concerts - even their softer moments have bite. The only criticism I have would be James LaBrie's uneven vocal performance. But when the music around him is this good, why am I complaining?!?! |

| Lamb of God Hourglass: Anthology Collection |
| Celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2010, Lamb of God released the three-disc compilation "Hourglass", named after a song that appeared on their 2004 masterpiece "Ashes of the Wake". The first disc is the spanning of their early days ("Burn the Priest" included), the second contains songs from their recent material (except for "Resolution", which wasn't recorded until 2011), and the final disc is bonus tracks and demos. All of which are guaranteed to blow out your eardrums and make you break stuff. This is PURE AMERICAN METAL at its finest - a perfect anniversary present for a band that started heavy and never looked back. |

| Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse |
| The third chapter in Opeth's expansive saga is hardly the cheeriest of concept albums around. A character who dies and becomes a ghost is watching over his loved one in increasing turmoil, suspecting she did not grieve enough about his passing. The whole story is spread out across 9 tracks, none of which surpass the 10-minute mark. Is that a bad thing? No! In fact, this album is actually more focused than their first two titles. Many things you'll notice here are the slight increase in production quality, Akerfeldt's improvement as a musician, and an overall heavier feel. Best appreciated as a somber 52-minute storybook, "My Arms, Your Hearse" is one of Opeth's finest achievements: a well-layered, complex and heartfelt narrative aided greatly by the band's trademark sound. And did I forget the bonus tracks? Covers of Celtic Frost's "Circle of the Tyrants" and Iron Maiden's "Remember Tomorrow" are also decent highlights. |
| Opeth Still Life |
| A general step up from first three albums, this 1999 concept album is probably the closest Opeth have ever gotten to a perfect record (until "Blackwater Park"). "Still Life" begins with an outcast returning to see his longtime love (Melinda), only to run into mass trouble along the way. All seven tracks of this record do a splendid job complementing the deeply mapped-out storyline. It is a love letter to music, and continues to show the band's ever-increasing strengths. I can't say much more other than the fact "Still Life" is a must-have release. |
| Opeth Blackwater Park |
| An essential album for heavy metal, Opeth's 2001 magnum opus "Blackwater Park" contains such amazing musicianship and band chemistry, it's hard not to find anything bad about it. The peak of Lindgren and Akerfledt's music careers, this album has everything to offer for both the close-minded metal head and the casual listener. Songs are not limited to, but include "The Leper Affinity", "Bleak" "Patterns in the Ivy", "Harvest", and the eponymous title track. Like all the Opeth records before it, "Blackwater Park" will take time to get use to, but in the end, will certainly pay off in many big ways. A fantastic release of the highest order. |
| Opeth Deliverance & Damnation Remixed |
| In 2016, Opeth revisits the now-famous albums "Deliverance" and "Damnation", pairing them up in a single package, but not without giving the albums a makeover with help from Steven Wilson and Bruce Soord. How is it, you ask? The end result is spectacular, which is no surprise considering Opeth's legendary status. The remix is stunning. Mendez's bass takes on a warmer tone, Mike's vocals stand out more, the guitars are more powerful, and even the drums possess clarity and nuance! A welcome addition to any Opeth fans' collection for two albums which were always meant to be together. Can Steven Wilson and Mikael Alerfeldt finally win some Grammy awards now?? |

| Dream Theater Awake |
| A darker, more aggressive album than its predecessor, "Awake" features some of the best guitar work from Petrucci to date, and values songwriting over technicality. Portnoy has never sounded better behind the kit, and LaBrie's vocals are also more confident. This is one of the finest albums that Dream Theater would ever put out. |
| Dream Theater Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence |
| Dream Theater Score |
| Dream Theater gives another powerhouse performance here in this 2006 film, shot at the renowned Radio City Music Hall in NYC. The film, entitled "Score", represented their 20th anniversary, and not only closed the Octavarium tour in grand fashion, but also shows a more melodic side of the band. It is a perfect companion piece to their metal-minded "Live At Budokan" and easily better than the Octavarium LP! James's vocals are much improved, the band's still playing their heart out, and their emphasis on songwriting is a breath of fresh air. Look for an eclectic mix of new and old cuts. It's great to hear orchestra-backed versions of "Metropolis pt. 1", "Sacrificed Sons" and the whole "Six Degrees" suite. The mix is stellar. Between this and Opeth's 2010 London performance, I can't tell which is better because they're both fucking excellent! |

| Katatonia Brave Murder Day |
| In 1996, Katatonia recorded what is definitely their masterpiece, Brave Murder Day. At that point, drummer and co-founder Jonas Renkse was no longer able to sing in the guttural style (Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt took care of that), yet the album marked a new chapter in the band's sound overall. They were no black metal elements, and the doomier aspects were set aside for a leaner, higher tempo -- yet firmly metal -- dynamic. In fact, Brave Murder Day is the most thorough and accomplished release from the band, and a true favorite of mine. The music is simple, trance-like gothic metal topped with Akerfeldt's signature death growls; it's a real delight! There are also quieter moments on tracks like "Day" which showcase a nice touch and a warm balance to the album. These softer spots never really hint at the band's coming genre shift, and unlike later outings, there are no alt-rock moments on Brave Murder Day, which is actually a good thing. Consistent and fully realized, this 1996 offering represents a young band reaching its creative peak. |

| Opeth Ghost Reveries |
| "Ghost Reveries" holds a very special place in my heart, not just because it was yet another great Opeth record, but also because it was the first Opeth record I ever listened to. My first exposure to "The Grand Conjuration" on the radio when this came out just left me speechless. I've been listening to various forms of music when I was in middle school, but none took me by surprise like this one! Breathtaking melodies, earth-shattering brute force, dynamic instrumentation, an epic scope, grade-A production values, triumphant band chemistry, honest expression and expansive variety all mixed perfectly into every single track. Such tracks are not limited to, but include the aforementioned Conjuration, "Reverie/Harlequin Forest", "Soldier of Fortune" (yes, a cover of Deep Purple), "Ghost of Perdition", and the jazzy, other-worldly "Atonement". This album, the last to feature long-time members Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez, is probably the only Opeth album to be on the same leagues of "Still Life" and "Blackwater Park". Hell, it may even topple them both! That may be up to you to decide, but I will most likely remember "Ghost Reveries" for as long as I live. |
| Opeth Damnation |
| At 43 minutes in length, "Damnation" is by far the shortest Opeth record ever. But that's not by any means a bad thing! This album is a softer, more melodic (and mellow) twin to "Deliverance" (it was originally conceived as a double LP) and in fact, a very strong album by the band. This 8-track affair boast some healthy variety of sounds, some fine instrumentation, and also, the absolute best vocal delivery from Mikael Akerfeldt on any Opeth album. Not to mention, it has a really good flow to it. Best tracks here are a no-brainer: "Closure", "Hope Leaves", "Windowpane", and the mellotron-laden finale "Weakness". Clearly inspired by progressive rock albums of yesterday, "Damnation" officially marks Opeth as one of the least predictable, but also one of the most respected and enjoyable bands around. |
| Opeth Deliverance |
| One of the heaviest Opeth albums (post-Blackwater Park), 2002's "Deliverance" can be best described as a 61-minute trip to hell. The title track itself is pretty much worth the full price of admission; the signature Opeth brand of beauty and brutality with just enough mind-bending moments, and also the greatest outro I've ever heard in a recent metal album. Another strong track on this album is the all-melodic "A Fair Judgement". While the other 4 tracks are well put together, they simply don't have the same level of character of past albums. If you hear closely, you may notice some monotonous segments. For example, "Wreath", the opening track. It's hard-hitting, but can't always reach the higher levels of Opeth canon due to its somewhat repetitive nature. And the hidden track on the climatic "By the Pain I See in Others" is just a re-cap of dialogues from the preceding track "Master's Apprentices". Overall, "Deliverance" is not Blackwater Park, but still packs a punch big enough for it to be worthy of the Opeth name. |
| Opeth Lamentations |
| Opeth's first official DVD, 2004's "Lamentations" contains two completely different setlists: A softer set consisting mostly of "Damnation" songs, and a heavier set with songs from "Deliverance" and "Blackwater Park". This two-hour concert film, shot in England, just took my breath away. The alternation of heavy and soft is executed seamlessly, with genuine emotion, mind-bending instrumentation, sharp mixing, and to top that off, a first-rate performance from the Reigning Kings of Metal themselves. The standard just couldn't get higher; all hail Opeth! |
| Opeth In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall |
| No band has ever done a balls-out birthday bash better than the five-piece Swedish "Kings of Metal" Opeth. This extravagant film, taking place at London's celebrated Royal Albert Hall, has a two-set layout not seen since the exquisite "Lamentations". The first set consists of "Blackwater Park" done in its entirety, while the second contains songs from their back catalog that just happen to include "Advent", "Forest of October", "April Ethereal", and the list goes on! Each song here is performed so brilliantly and optimistically, it's hard not to imagine why these guys are a force to be reckoned with. The mixing is so much better than the "Roundhouse Tapes", the musicianship is unparalleled, and the grand spectacle is overwhelming. Not to mention, some copies are paired with CD versions of the set, so you're basically getting the full package. Mikael Akerfeldt is officially an iconic figure in the world of hard rock and heavy metal. |
| Opeth The Candlelight Years |
| If you're an Opeth fan who doesn't have their first three albums, do yourself a favor and find a copy of this set! You'll be glad you did. |
| Opeth The Wooden Box |
| The first three records... On vinyl... A total win indeed. |
| Opeth Opeth (Box Set) |
| This 2006 box set contains the band's three biggest albums, and a CD version of "Lamentations", so fans will definitely have a field day. My only complaint about this is the fact "Still Day Beneath the Sun" wasn't included, nor is the "Lamentations" DVD. Otherwise, this set is worth a look. |

| Dream Theater Breaking the Fourth Wall |
| With their 30th birthday looming, Dream Theater releases another film. This one, filmed back in April at the Boston Opera House, has more in common with Score than their previous film (both feature a local orchestra at the end). It features a good chunk of material from their self-titled 12th LP, and also the second half of their now-classic "Awake" album. Did I forget the epic finale is made of choice cuts from "Metropolis, pt. 2"?? As always, there's a good range of diversity and even stronger musicianship (for example, Mangini steals the show during "Enigma Machine", and the band's take on "Space-Dye Vest" would make Kevin Moore proud). However, the sound mix is uneven like always (Bass is flat and lacks power, while vocals, drums, guitars and symphonic elements up front). Some of it may have to do with the venue's acoustics, while others have blamed Richard Chycki's mix job. Who knows? I still recommend this film to DT fans and newcomers alike, but next time out, the band may want to dial Steven Wilson and his technical department. |

| Opeth Watershed |
| "Watershed" marks Opeth's first serious line-up change since 1997; gone is Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez, replaced by Fredrik Akesson and Martin Axenrot (from "The Roundhouse Tapes"), respectively. The album retains the classic Opeth juxtaposition of soft and heavy, but also throw in some fresh twists to The formula. My favorite tracks here are "Coil", "Heir Apparent", "Hessian Peel", the all Swedish "Den standiga Resan" and the jazzy "Lotus Eater". More often than not, this album proves that after all those years, Akerfeldt and the gang haven't lost their touch. |
| Opeth Morningrise |
| Despite somewhat gruff production, "Morningrise" is another fine accomplishment for Opeth. The biggest highlights on this record are "Advent", followed by the sonic orgasms that are "Black Rose Immortal" and "To Bid You Farewell". There's only five tracks on the album (three of them aforementioned), so it seems like the album doesn't have much to offer. But look closer, and you'll find that it has all the goods. "Morningrise" expands on the formula that made "Orchid" a hit with fans, but also features the band stretching its musical footings a bit, although I can't describe them all in detail. Anyway, Akerfeldt and co. are brilliant, and so is this album. |
| Opeth Orchid |
| Although not as technically polished as its successors, "Orchid" was an astounding debut for Opeth, marking the birth of a unique sound that would become synonymous with the band, and setting the tone for their future endeavors. The biggest highlights on this record are the epic 14-minute opus "In Mist She Was Standing", followed by the all-piano "Silhouette", then "The Twilight is My Robe" and the ever-triumphant finale, aptly titled "The Apostle in Triumph". Multiple tracks on this record feature a fine balance between raw death metal brutality and beautiful acoustic-driven calmness. These traits are illuminated in a brilliant fashion thanks to melodic metal harmonies, folk-influenced guitar work, and Mikael Akerfeldt's diverse vocal range that goes from clean singing all the way down to growls. All that said, this is one progressive metal romp that will captivate many upon the first listen. |
| Opeth The Roundhouse Tapes |
| Their second concert film to date, 2007's "The Roundhouse Tapes" is everything you would expect from an Opeth DVD, and so forth. The biggest thing you'll notice is that the band uses a more varied setlist (unlike Lamentations) that features some older songs like "When", "Face of Melinda", "Bleak" and "Demon of the Fall". And while these songs are performed in typical Opeth fashion, the mixing is a bit subdued (Mikael's voice ended up a bit higher than the instruments!!), which brings this down a bit. Not to mention, it kinda feels like Lamentations 2 considering the timing and release of the two films: They are three years apart, and shot in England. |
| Opeth Book of Opeth EP |
| An exclusive vinyl release from the recent "Book of Opeth", this features two never-before-heard versions of the fan-favorites "Atonement" and "Demon of the Fall". And they're acoustic. But the surprise is, they actually represent a more interesting dimension of Opeth not explored in any of their albums. New layers are discovered in these tracks, which come highly recommended for die-hards. |

| An admirable effort, with a renewed focus on songwriting, "A Dramatic Turn of Events" is Dream Theater's true return-to-form. It is focused, cohesive, and best of all, very melodic. The songwriting is purely original and really stands out - it puts their last few albums or so to shame. And newcomer Mike Mangini shows a ton of promise, even though his drums are a little soft in the mix. I know I'll get scorned for saying this, but I'm not afraid to say it: this is Dream Theater in their best shape since "Scenes from a Memory". And that says a lot. |

| Katatonia Dance of December Souls |
| After a couple years in the death metal underground, Swedish heavyweights Katatonia got off to a promising start with their first LP, Dance of December Souls. Released in December 1993 no less, it proved that classic death/doom need not come from England, whence, until then, the genre had flourished at the hands of Paradise Lost, Anathema, and My Dying Bride. In fact, Dance of December Souls manages to drag heavy metal to a near-standstill along with the best of 'em, combining cookie-monster growls, slothful riffing, morbid guitar (and synthesizer) melodies, and slow but busy drumming into a mesmerizing wash of depression. Eight-minute highlight "Gateways of Bereavement" and the desolately beautiful instrumental "Elohim Meth" are both perfect examples of these exquisitely sluggish and gloomy capabilities, although other offerings like "In Silence Enshrined" and the fan favorite "Without God" do eventually pick up the pace somewhat -- also with very positive results. I also like the ensuing twin monoliths "Velvet Thorns (Of Drynwhyl)" and "Tomb of Insomnia," which boast a number of memorable passages despite their back-to-back length of around 13 minutes each. With grimly inspired lyrics to back up the sorrowful riffs and melodies, Katatonia succeed in their mission, and despite poor production, Dance of December Souls remains one of the death/doom genre's important building blocks. The 2007 re-release includes the demo album "Jhva Elohim Meth", which has a bit more of a black metal influence. |

| Opeth Heritage |
| After 20-plus years of blending death metal fury with progressive ambience, Opeth decided to focus more on their roots. Their tenth album, "Heritage" eschews the death metal in favor of a more jazzy, 70's inspired progressive rock sound with clean vocals, reminiscent of some key influences: Deep Purple, Genesis, and King Crimson. The slow-burn "Heritage" completes the transition last seen on "Watershed" and represents one of the more predictable albums in their career. It's very melodic. Highlights include "Folklore", "Famine", "The Devil's Orchard" and "Slither". It may not be the five-star quality of past albums, but it's nowhere near the slouch everyone claims it is. Heritage is a decent chapter in Opeth's career. |
| Opeth Pale Communion |
| Opeth's eleventh album, "Pale Communion", is an eclectic mix of old-school blues, rock and jazz fusion. As far as I am concerned, these boys may finally start transcending metal. The one-two punch of "Eternal Rains Will Come" and "Cusp of Eternity" suggest new live staples in rtheir ever adventurous catalog, while the mind-bending "Goblin" represents a new creative high for the Swedish titans. And let's not forget the brilliant album closer "Faith in Others". Ever since "Watershed", the band had been changing, and now "Pale Communion" improves this new-meets-old style. It's not for everyone, but it proves Opeth are still alive and well. |
