| Saxon Denim and Leather | 3.0 |
| starts with glorious new wave metal but soon devolves into pure if appreciable butt rock, title still rulz tho |

| Elderwind The Colder The Night | 3.5 |
| first 2 tracks are nightsky beauty but evidently the cold started getting to them as the intensity dwindles more and more |
| Pacmanthemovie Pacmanthemovie 2: Eat Lives | 2.0 |

| this is not an album by a 54 year old band most members of which are in their 70s, sounds like the debut of a present day heavy/pm band wtfff. last 3 tracks are disappointers tho was considering a 4 until they hit, bonuses are in the same vein |

| a weird album of symph black/heavy/performing theatre arts nevertheless trv in tongue of thorns and the first half of death plenitude |
| Mindless Self Indulgence You'll Rebel To Anything | 2.5 |
| starts as rly fun high energy nudecore but 10mins-ish in stagnates and they cant keep it up despite only a 26 min run time, first couple bonuses are pure reetation but other two arent bad |

| great energy but thats about it they zoom through everything without leaving any real impact like a rollercoaster youre in line for an hour but then its over so fast you barely remember the thrill |
| Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the Head | 2.0 |
| singles are horribly overplayed, hate the drony lethargic melancholy yet nothing technically wrong with it |

| Lamb of God Ashes of the Wake | 2.0 |

| David Bowie Hunky Dory | 2.0 |
| classic trollie bowie |
| Dwarrowdelf Cold Lie the Ashes | 3.0 |
| goes all over the place trying to make something 'epic' but its just a scramble of random half assed metal |
| City and Colour The Hurry and the Harm | 2.5 |
| higher quality melancholies on the outside with a randomly happy centre filling |
| Dwarrowdelf Of Dying Lights | 3.0 |
| tries too hard to be epic and ends up rather flat and empty instead |
| Witchslayer '83 Demo | 3.5 |
| an old lost thrash heavy demo with a side o' doom |
| Kaoru Abe Mort à crédit | 1.5 |
| i will shove a banana straight up your sax and quite possibly another up ur anus |
| pizzamachine Pizza ex Machina | 2.0 |
| most of this is def machine made pizza but the burzumy samples on dont judge me and mr beat are lit as well as the funky beat on WIGGLE |
| Death Angel Heavy Metal Insanity | 3.5 |
| as the title implies solid heavy by a high school band with a 10 yo drummer who definitely kicked all the ass at the battle of the bands |
| pizzamachine Just be goofy | 2.5 |

| IOSYS ワァオ！ハイパー電波チャン -ARM商業作品集- | 3.0 |
| damn this is some kawaii dance party shit |
| Thanatos Realm of Ecstasy | 3.0 |
| very polished for early 90s dm, and that seems to have been where the greatest efforts were exerted, as while this is sure and trv dm its not especially exciting, and they would go on to ghost the metal world for 8 years. in any case the band was eventually reformed to create the masterpiece that is angelic encounters so it all worked out in the end |
| Insane Clown Posse Jugganauts: The Best of Insane Clown Pos | 3.0 |
| first third or so just great fun offensive as can be party lectryraps, but middle tracks calm it down and mellow th'energy, then randomly tracks with RIFFS, then a series of rnb anecdotal sillies, is this reflective of their discog? does possing (aha!) this officially make me a juggalo? one things for sure these are certified INSANE CLOWNS |
| Cro-Mags Age of Quarrel | 3.5 |
| trv raw metallic AHRDCORE |
| Kleistwahr Myth | 1.5 |
| a war lost to myth between the cybernetic overlords with every high pitch screech another motherboard population eradicated |

| Frail Body Artificial Bouquet | 3.5 |
| krallice gone AHRD CORE |
| Thanatos Emerging from the Netherworlds | 3.5 |
| a defining 90s dm/thrash album, plenty of og death and obituary vibes |
| City and Colour Bring Me Your Love | 2.5 |
| damn i actually vibed to this shitty cover art and all |
| Dwarrowdelf This Shattered World | 3.5 |
| instrumentation is high excellence but the vox ruin it being too corey |
| Captain Hawk Ghosts of the Sea | 1.5 |
| this band debut just came out today and is...lame. epic cover art just for milquetoast 'opera' singing that casts the metal to the wayside, the deliberately overcheesed character lines would be charming if the entire composition wasnt such a landlubber |
| Diabolical Fullmoon Unholy Pagan War - Promo Rehearsal | 4.0 |
| synthbeast bm with all of the old school influences |
| Julia Holter Something in the Room She Moves | 1.5 |
| she is moving her bowel |
| DragonForce Warp Speed Warriors | 3.0 |
| a seemingly deliberately middling dforce album, classic modern dforce style in astro warrior and pixel prison but then also total waste filler tracks like the singles power of the triforce and especially doomsday party, not to mention the tswift cover (love when metal bands cover pop tracks but making it part of the lp just makes it another filler track). all in all an ehhh dforce album with a highlight in pixel prison |
| Necrophobic In The Twilight Grey | 3.5 |
| yep same old necrophobic, another album steadily and awkwardly fixed between average and excellent, you want to rly dig it but they make it impossible. everyday throw-somthin-on melolblack |
| Sonata Arctica Clear Cold Beyond | 3.5 |
| not in love with it like their nascent albums but its pretty damn good and the sonarc i used to know, best tracks are cure for everything, angel defiled, and the most metal lullably oat in best things |
| Autechre elseq 1-5 | 2.0 |
| as a collection, a series of long meandering nearly pointless practically joyless dates |
| Autechre elseq 5 | 2.5 |
| pendulu to spaces is vanilla intercourse but freulaeux is a nice pounding and oneum is oxytocin induced dream |
| Autechre elseq 4 | 2.5 |
| autechre puts on some spicier lingerie |
| Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume II | 1.5 |
| i will never understand even the legendary aphex twin's need to create overlengthy almost nothing ambients with little variation in between. is it practice? unused excerpts? having something in the catalogue in case a movie or video game developer needs some generic dungeon music? for all the above i suppose!!! |
| Autechre elseq 3 | 1.5 |
| a third hookup isnt as exciting |
| Autechre elseq 2 | 2.0 |
| el sex a robotica |
| Autechre elseq 1 | 2.0 |
| damn dem robots sure like gettin in bed |
| Alberich NATO-Uniformen | 2.5 |
| rly not bad ambelectrix with a military theme, but 4 hrs brah rly? |
| Vatican Shadow Death Is Unity With God | 3.0 |

| save for the negative nancy im going to hell repetition a fine asmr album |
| Techno Animal Re-Entry | 1.5 |
| would appreciate the minimalism a lot more if every track wasnt a damn epic cut out 75% and you'd have something not annoying if i wanted more of the same i would just copypasta it in audacity myself not caring this is from 1994. dont care for the sloooooooooow b horror movie scooooooooooore that is the last couple tracks |
| The Body No One Deserves Happiness | 1.5 |
| drony moany blehtal |
| Godflesh Godflesh | 3.5 |
| the most badass sludge dust of all time? the most badass sludge dust of all time |
| Gustav Leonhardt Bach: The Art of the Fugue | 3.5 |
| leonhardts playing cancels out the usual mundanity of the kunst but even he cant rly add any magic to it either, lovely hachord tone tho. xiii invers gets quite nice, canon hypason goes ahrd too; 831 is fine but i prefer it played on piano; 971 is an audible feast; 998 not particularly notable tho good energy to the allegro |
| Billie Holiday Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday | 2.5 |
| i dont love her n i dont hate her, it is billie holiday |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Overture in the French style, BWV 831 | 3.5 |
| bach revels in the french style |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Lute Suite in Eb Major, BWV 998 | 3.5 |
| having written only a few pieces for lute, bach nonetheless hands you something to seduce, or be seduced by, your mistress. th'allegro goes ahrd |
| City and Colour Sometimes | 2.0 |
| something between a drab grey ghetto and sometimes blueheart folkoustics |
| Yes Fragile | 2.0 |
| th'immortal meme track followed by prockzilla and some cool riffs in heart sunrise |
| Rinaldo Alessandrini Frescobaldi: Fiori musicali | 3.5 |
| a lighter and more thorny garden, nonetheless all the rosy |
| Beyonce Cowboy Carter | 2.5 |
| this is about as country as your favourite derpcore is death metal ie the thinnest slapstick veneer, but nevertheless having actual instrumental backings instead of banal rnb beats and hearing her really belt her voice make this easily the best beyonce album, if only she had always done cowgirl. miley cyrus sounds like a 50 yo pack a day since she was 12 |
| Cinderella Heartbreak Station | 2.5 |
| lesser wasps with some random bad country tracks |
| Chelsea Wolfe She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She | 2.5 |
| emo girl goes 'eavy dust |

| a more energetic and less gross ariana |
| Anti-Flag The Bright Lights of America | 2.0 |
| antiflag at their poppiest yet |
| Carrie Underwood My Savior | 1.5 |
| for someone so blatantly faithful with the full force of the popular music industry behind her this is godawful |
| Samael Era One & Lesson In Magic #1 | 2.5 |
| pretty chill but also reasonably unreleased/outtakes |
| Whitechapel The Somatic Defilement | 1.5 |
| as so many derpcore bands do wc start with a weird bdm infused derp and as usual it falls flatter than yo gfs chest |
| Whitechapel Whitechapel | 2.5 |
| whitechapel once again making derpcore nearly worth listening to with more metallic tendencies and conscious composition |
| UGK Ridin' Dirty | 2.5 |
| decent enough popraps |
| Yes The Yes Album | 1.5 |
| the no tanks album |
| Between the Buried and Me Between the Buried and Me | 1.5 |
| a more interesting than usual mccore fusion |
| Cinderella Still Climbing | 2.5 |
| some of that fairy tale magic back but nothing lasting past midnight |
| Johann Sebastian Bach The Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080 | 3.5 |
| the pedagogic nature of contrapunctus i-viii is gratingly evident as they invoke an intermediary student with ix finally emerging a degree of mastery and continuing onward, tho hearing the same subject again and again gets quite boring. honestly the canon variations play and hear much better in their simplicity. the unfinished fuga indeed unfinished, more like a lazy muse while brainstorming something more interesting complete with intentionally narcissistic pun |
| Dead Kennedys Frankenchrist | 1.5 |
| of all the forms for punk to take punkabilly is the worst right alongside mccore |
| 7th Gate Dancer In The Snowfall EP | 3.0 |
| pretty cool techno space snow dancer |

| blink-182 California | 2.5 |

| Adrenalin O.D. Cruising With Elvis In Bigfoot's U.F.O. | 3.0 |
| adrenalin ahrdcore like no one before with darkthrone having implanted the main riff of amy carter straight into transylvanian hunger and some silly covers |

| Carnifex The Diseased and Poisoned | 1.5 |
| resting phase dm riffs sparsely interspersed between a comical amount of overlength chuggasauruses |
| Carrie Underwood Cry Pretty | 2.0 |
| a more leftfield album for carrie but not much better |
| no metal in this battle the husky tape | 3.5 |
| rly cool melodious post rock with a nice dogge =D |
| Chelsea Wolfe The Grime And The Glow | 2.0 |

| this ones pretty good, didnt know francais could rapper this udre |
| Between the Buried and Me The Silent Circus | 2.0 |
| an eclectic mix of mccore, derpcore, metal, prog rock, emo, noise rock, some actual dm on dglgmut and random bm on destructo |
| Carrie Underwood Denim & Rhinestones | 3.5 |
| carrie being involved in the writing of nearly every track on this album leads to her most powerful, punchy, country rock bopper yet. pink champagne has the most clever and romantic alcohol-love metaphors of mainstream music and i am overall impressed |
| xanopticon Liminal Space | 2.5 |
| dont mind this at all pretty chill but it all blends together into the same homogeneous technofest |
| Between the Buried and Me Alaska | 2.5 |
| bizarre choice for a band obviously capable of producing metal to remain mired in suck instead, harsh vox sound like a mccored petri lindroos, their best most metallic mcsmoothie yet |
| Carrie Underwood My Gift | 3.0 |
| carries best album, esp on holy night and have yourself |
| Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force Yermande Mixes | 3.0 |
| this hypnotic beat sounds much better repeated several times without the quranic verses |
| Girolamo Frescobaldi Fiori Musicali | 3.5 |
| the title by no means an empty boast, these organic perennials may be graciously plucked at leisure |
| Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force Yermande | 1.5 |
| senegalese beats with quranic vox all arranged by some random german dude, an unusual release to say the least |
| Barbra Streisand The Second Barbra Streisand Album | 2.5 |
| the musical spirit of the early 60s encapsulated in its first lady |

| Blue Heron (MA) Ockeghem: Complete Songs Volume 1 | 2.5 |

| Electric Masada At the Mountains of Madness | 3.0 |
| this is pretty sweet. all kinds of exploration of rhythm n speed, bombasts and subtleties, ahrd riffing and tranquil jazzing, solid jams with extra intruments. do i like the fact this is over 2 n a half hours? no, but its reasonably entertaining and worthwhile and if it does get boring it picks back up again |

| Absu The Sun of Tiphareth | 3.5 |
| an increasingly more eclectic album than anything before, most fantasy adventure albums simply create the atmosphere, but this one trvly feels like it highlight in apzu |
| Venom Demo | 4.0 |
| clive isnt as wild as what cronos would soon unleash and the motorhead and early 70s metal influences are a lot more plain in these editions yet the blueprints for the trv are revealed and taking crimson flight and holy shit their band track not on anything else until 1997 is pure trv win |

| limby finally gets serious and invokes a thoroughly good if not amazing blasymphony |
| Limbonic Art Epitome Of Illusions | 2.5 |
| studio prodding these demos results in once again an album half great blasymph, half sesame street singalongs |
| Job For A Cowboy Doom | 1.5 |
| first off, this is a death metal album. it clearly follows the tradition of seven churches, scream bloody gore, and season of the dead. it has the same hour long breakdowns, little bitch wails, and chuggasaurus riffs, with no punk elements whatsoever. lmmmaaaaaaooooooo who am i kidding derpcore 6000 with brutal elements by talentless music-pretenders thinking over dense amp effects is the same thing as heaviness |

| Mayhem Live in Sarpsborg | 4.0 |
| an official release of the same show as dawn of the black hearts from a different recording, still an awesome show though the sound quality is better in some ways and worse than others as the infamous bootleg |
| Weakling Dead as Dreams | 1.0 |
| agreed |
| YOURMOM YOURMOM | 2.5 |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Abysmal | 2.5 |
| contrary to the name this is actually dahlias best, most solid, and most mdm release. still nothing worth bothering with but the improvement over all their previous is staggering for them |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Everblack | 2.0 |
| more of the same shit its quite tried |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Ritual | 2.0 |
| first half or so actually isnt bad, better than the rest of their contents, but then they realize they dont care to reach even a little bit higher and ramp up the core in the second half |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Verminous | 2.5 |
| congrats black dahlia you have outdone yourselves and reached generic mdm!!!!!! |
| Miasma Changes | 2.0 |
| early crap progtech death with weak grunts and an overflow of filler making it seem hours long instead of 40 mins |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Nightbringers | 2.5 |
| first half they slide into their much more mccory bad habits but then surprisingly amp it up into a suitable more mdm sequel to abysmal |
| Mayhem Fuck You!!!! | 3.5 |
| v early instrumental recordings of their initially dm oriented songs, plus some cool covers showcasing their formative inspiration |
| Krallice Mass Cathexis 2 - The Kinetic Infinite | 2.0 |
| same boring present krallice not bothering to turn up anything than generic proggaze, tho the atmosphere of the latter couple tracks saved it from total annihilation |
| Miasma Love Songs | 1.5 |
| a miasmic sonnet of amorial garbago |
| Inferi (USA) The Path of Apotheosis | 1.5 |
| i will never understand the appeal of a band having a decent if not spectacular sound and then spending all their time and effort to instead follow the untrv path of melodic progderpcore. why not be metal? why not destroy worlds instead of aspiring to be a bitch? alas, cant save someone who doesnt want to be saved |
| Seth Les Blessures De l'Ame | 3.0 |
| lightly synthed more artsy bm without any knockouts |
| Seth L'Excellence | 3.0 |

| Gehenna Seen Through the Veils of Darkness | 4.0 |

| Exsanguination Burial Rites | 3.5 |
| expected lame bdm, got slightly charred brutal melodeath. sweet |
| Catamenia Location:COLD | 3.5 |
| what goes up must come down, and with the combination of this being their 7th album, following up their masterpiece winternight tragedies, and the stupid title, it is surprising the fall isnt a greater depth. a lot more clean vocals on this album, which while arent bad, arent enticing either, otherwise generally gud melolbms |
| Catamenia Chaos Born | 4.0 |
| the first two tracks trump anything theyve done before, immaculate blackened melodeath, but onwards is a mixed tale ending on a high note, as stated highlights in kuolon tanssi and calm before the storm |
| Catamenia Eskhata | 4.0 |
| a very icily smooth album, perfect production and yet a more bm veneer than on any previous. every track is great but storm, rain of blood, landscape, and title stand out |
| Marduk Opus Nocturne | 3.0 |
| they have some cool ideas to bring to the bm table but never follow through, and thus leave themselves in the dust compared to everything else coming out in 94 |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Deflorate | 1.5 |
| fuck sake they bow even more to the altar of mccore and even the cover art depicts it: a big fat lazy easily triggered slob that communicates solely by crybaby screams and the talentless sacrifice their brethren to |
| Mayhem Live in Zeitz | 4.0 |

| Butthole Surfers Independent Worm Saloon | 2.5 |
| sum riffs but nothing too absorbing, random industrial and a country strum, a stoner closer, silliness without aim |
| Unwound Leaves Turn Inside You | 2.5 |
| as a double lp goes without saying its too long, but also dont mind it so much, a bit more elevated than the usual background music, zenny, good variety in instrumentation without being ruined by incongruous vox most of the time |
| The Gathering Souvenirs | 2.0 |
| idk this band wedges itself in an awkward place by having a good atmosphere but never following it through, too basic and lacks power |

| Sigur Ros Agætis byrjun | 2.0 |
| defrosted bjorks in pseudo classical arrangement |
| Supercar Highvision | 2.5 |
| dont mind these stretched out lectry dreams so much, more than a few good beats and synth arrangements, vox could be left out, latter half doesnt do its due diligence so much |
| Cocteau Twins Treasure | 2.5 |
| each track is largely a looped phrase with gibberish singing on top and for the first half isnt much more than a silly gimmick but amelia onwards becomes a more skillful and pleasant hypnotism |
| Sonic Youth Confusion Is Sex | 2.0 |
| a great guitar tone and some interesting compositional ideas but we are once again destroying anything that is good with the vocals of a dying cat |
| Sonic Youth Sonic Youth | 2.0 |
| minimal rhythmcore with a few deliberately nails on a chalkboard sections and utterly atrocious vox saves itself from a lower score by shutting up on track 5 |
| Cocteau Twins Garlands | 3.0 |
| debut is pretty sweet, cool effects, deep but still mellow tunes, dat title bass |
| Sonic Youth Daydream Nation | 2.0 |

| volume ii is full of grand epics and some of bathory's best thrash, plus a war pigs and highly bathory-ized ace of spades cover |
| Bathory In Memory of Quorthon Volume I | 4.0 |
| the first in a post-humous series compilation of assorted bathory bests, in memory of quorthon collects tracks from amongst all quorthon's discography including a few of his solo pieces. this volume includes the punky ive had it coming, a sex pistols god save the queen cover, and a not so exciting finisher in boy |

| Protest the Hero Kezia | 1.5 |

| Theocracy Mirror of Souls | 2.0 |
| a very mid power metal album with the first 3 tracks a bleh slog, bethlehem however picks up with that amazing layered chorus at its climax, and absolution day is a trv track, but then ofc they have to close with a generic epic at the end |
| The Strokes Is This It | 1.5 |
| mild greyscale bunks |
| Corrosion of Conformity Animosity | 3.5 |
| crass crazy crossover corroding conformity contemptuously |
| The Silent Rage Nuances of Life | 1.5 |
| ultra generic pure priest/hellow/diamond worship, closer nuances of life is the best track |
| Illuminandi The Beginning... | 3.5 |
| a compilation of live and studio tracks from both an earlier, more amateur epoch as well as more mature solidly written later tracks. a lot of titles are different and there are no english versions despite english titles, very weird track order as well. overall a great audible history of a young band trying something new in metal |
| Melt-Banana Cell-Scape | 2.0 |
| hyper punk album with short noise/lectro bursts. it could have been good if the thought process went a bit deeper than hummm BWAAAAH rly just did to punk what nude muddle did to butt rock. o and a non plussy instrum at the end |
| Macaroom Homephone TE | 1.5 |
| literally made me fall asleep. first trough has some good instrums with an overabundance of bleh dreamscapes to follow but anything good is utterly destroyed by having a child sing throughout the entire thing |
| Krisiun Conquerors of Armageddon | 3.0 |
| an album of uniquely tribal but also somewhat annoying dm |
| Jars Of Clay Good Monsters | 2.0 |
| very top heavy alt/folk, great until title with work and all my tears as highlights, then they just let the folk and trv drop forever into the usual uninspired supposedly christian mishmash |
| Kayo Dot Choirs of the Eye | 2.0 |
| another experimental mishmash thats not entirely boring yet entirely reminiscent of a child randomly slapping pots and pans trv rating 1.5 |
| Illuminandi Illumina Tenebras Meas | 3.5 |
| a double ep with english and polish versions of each song save english only hymn of all creation. theyre not as polished as their later lp would become, and quite a bit of awkward and fillery sections, but all the ideas and performance of an epic gothic folk/black metal album are there and driven heavily by that piercing violin. czterdziescia doba/the 40th day is especially creepy being satan's tempting and disparaging words to jesus |
| Anvil Metal on Metal | 2.0 |
| classic canadian album that devolves from trv metal with a highlight in metal on metal to filler prog until finally generic radio butt rock |
| Dead Can Dance Within the Realm of a Dying Sun | 2.0 |
| great instrumentals largely ruined by mostly garbage vox |
| Illuminandi In Via | 4.0 |
| epic polish christianity, intricately written gothic folk metal worship worthy of jesus |
| Annihilator Never, Neverland | 2.5 |
| in canada we may not have the best thrash but we do have KRAF DINNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH |
| Master 1985 Demo | 4.0 |
| lofi and inconsistent af tracks from their eventual 1990 debut but goes as ahrd as every other early dm |
| Master Faith Is In Season | 3.5 |
| ok so this one is a bit weird, they keep the general style of the last album, alright, a mix of groove n thrash, but this one is much more dynamically thrash with the groove bits actually well integrated. gets a bit grindy and punky too, again only slightly ghostly dm mainly in the grunty vox |
| David Bowie Station to Station | 2.0 |
| dont mind this bowie, relaxed pop rocks, some cool added effects/instrumentation, nothing i'd want to hear again |
| Master Rehearsal Demo | 3.5 |
| slice of dm history life with a young band talking between trying to get their shit straight |
| Master Collection Of Souls | 2.5 |

| Eternal Drak Drak Metal | 2.5 |
| joke band but has a cover of in league with satan |
| DevilDriver Pray for Villains | 2.0 |

| Crowded House Crowded House | 1.5 |
| singles band alright only dont dream is any good |
| Boris Boris At Last -Feedbacker- | 1.0 |
| pls no one pay actual money for trash like this |
| Barenaked Ladies Stunt | 1.5 |
| one week is great but the rest is bleh |

| classic cast metal that starts great but nearly outlives its stay on the anvil |
| Sadus A Vision of Misery | 3.0 |
| decent but nothing amazing techy thrash |
| Pearl Jam Vitalogy | 2.5 |
| a decently wild ride of an album |
| Holy Moses Disorder of the Order | 2.0 |

| Mogwai The Hawk Is Howling | 3.0 |
| flugcore is cool, chill thought out instrums but nothing i want to keep |
| Sarcofago I.N.R.I. | 3.5 |
| raw charred all guts dm highlight in satanic lust |
| Lacey Sturm Kenotic Metanoia | 3.5 |
| essentially a brand new flyleaf album. destroys her solo debut, competes with memento mori, highlights in wonderful, not your fight, and the lindsey violin assisted breathe with me (her violin rly accentuates + rulz on its own) |
| Tyrant (JPN) Under The Dark Mystic Sky | 4.5 |
| classic immaculate 90s melodic blasymph all the way from nippon |
| Sangdragon Requiem for Apocalypse | 3.0 |
| blackened symphonic thrash, its not amazing by any means and again steals the heart of later dimmu but has many of its own unique moments its just not especially great. highlight in the first 2 track combo |
| Dragonlord Dominion | 3.0 |
| shameless later dimmy rip off but lamia is pretty good |
| Fleetwood Mac Mr. Wonderful | 2.5 |
| chill typical blue rocks not much else goin on |

| nothin too gripping on this one, pizzemcrunk go bzrh brzh bitch itch yayayah |

| 1: relaxing white noise (did you hear the change in noise ~57 mins?) 2: also relaxing white noise 3: the ultimate relaxing white noise it ended too soon |

| first half is some of the most godawful pop c-rap ive ever heard, gets about avg in the 2nd with a highlight in never let em |
| Marauder Face the Mirror | 3.0 |

| Fireflight For Those Who Wait | 2.0 |
| title n all i need to be have great messages but otherwise bleh |
| A Flock of Seagulls Space Age Love Song (Re-Recorded, Sped Up, Slowed) | 3.5 |
| space age instrumentation is pure win regardless of tempo, mikes old man voice isnt bad, slowed down version needs the drawled vox removed though |
| Pearl Jam Vs. | 1.5 |
| go went ahrd but then it slowed down and eventually came to a total gears jammed standstill |
| Shakira Pies Descalzos | 2.5 |
| i like shakira. i do, she has amazing crystal voice with that subtly fiery latina swagger and due to being her own producer every track slides in right, but the songs themselves, just arent that great, except estoy aqui which is a banger. it could just have been so much more |
| Erlosung Christmas Ist Krieg | 4.0 |
| by far the most beautiful, artistic, and trv christmas spirit represented on an album i have ever witnessed and i am not being ironic in the slightest |
| Star Wars Christmas in the Stars | 1.5 |
| WHAT CAN YOU GET A WOOKIE FOR CHRISTMAS WHEN HE ALREADY OWNS A COMB?!?!?!?! also for an advanced robot r2d2 is ignorant af |
| Kate Bush 50 Words for Snow | 1.0 |
| bjork with piano x adele with atrocious male vox on a couple tracks why do these things exist |
| Between the Buried and Me Colors | 1.0 |
| the only thing worse than prog n mccore separately is prog n mccore together. your canon impersonation is a disgrace |
| Pokemon Pokemon Christmas Bash | 2.0 |
| when you get voice actors to sing a horribly cringe album...i can just imagine them coming in to work that day and o the horror... meowth spittin facts tho, now indeed a fan of team rocket. jeeeeeeeeebus track 9: DID YA GET MORE WOOD? OOOOOOOO YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH And my mom in her kerchief and Mr. Mime in my cap (And I think Professor Oak was there too) - oak bangin ashs mom canon And then in a twinkling, I heard on the rooftop The prancing and pawing of each little Machop - uhhhh what? The stump of a pipe he held tight in his cheek And he smoked it and circled his head like a reef - when youre fking high and cant distinguish "cheek" from "teeth" and "reef" from "wreath" (actual spotify/internet lyrics) |

| the culmination of everything to go wrong with punk for 30 years |
| Mariah Carey Merry Christmas | 2.5 |
| naturally ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOUUUUUU as well as a justified if not as good as darlene love's baby please, but the other classics/originals are run of the mill |
| Various Artists A Christmas Gift For You | 2.0 |
| amazingly produced in 1963 christmas bops still on every radio station today, and thus the only tolerable ones are darlene love's white christmas and who can resist baby please come home? |
| Bright Eyes A Christmas Album | 1.5 |
| couldnt tell if they were being serious at first but yea this is a genuine effort to make the cringiest most generic christs album with a handful of lofi industrial bits here n there |
| Kacey Musgraves A Very Kacey Christmas | 2.0 |
| mostly shouldnothavedoneit generic artist recordings but the cover of feliz navidad has some original elements and her original songs arent too bad (julia michaels cowrote ribbons n bows and it shows) |
| Olivia Rodrigo Guts | 2.5 |
| without a doubt she has talent, and indeed she is the main writer to all her songs which is very rare, a variety of styles stolen straight from the original artists/producers making this by far the most diverse pop album ever, however the fact that they are obviously ripped off holds her back from really standing out |
| Majestica Glory of Christmas | 3.0 |
| a decently spirited chrimassy track |

| Veil of Maya The Common Man's Collapse | 1.5 |
| djunzy mccore wif derpin vox |
| Andrew Peterson Behold the Lamb of God | 1.5 |
| like most ccm has the usual pitfalls of lazy songwriting and never sounding like they believe what theyre saying, and not even a christmas album just general jesus motifs. also if you actually read your bible you'd know king "my father scourged you with whips; i will scourge you with scorpions" rehoboam should hardly be called "good old" |
| Sonus Mortis War Prophecy | 3.0 |
| mid melodeath/doom with the same amateur effects since valediction. at least it has a real cover and not an awful cartoon |
| Duran Duran Duran Duran | 2.5 |

| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers: NES Edition | 4.0 |
| a good variety on this one, castlevania covers are all amazing, esp vampire killer and bloody tears omg, ff covers are great esp battle 2, contras are great, battletoads too, ninja gaidens, mario worlds are annoying but metal, naturally zelda tracks are great, dr wily stage 1 is pure win but edit out the slow version at the end, and the moon apparently from duck tales is win as well |

| George Frideric Handel 12 Grand Concertos, Op. 6 / HWV 319-330 | 3.0 |
| an exhausting collection of concertos, and the vast majority of them not particularly satisfying either. nevertheless for the patient treasure lies at the end of the trail, for 328 v, 330 iii and v are highlights, 329 i is gorgeous, and 330 ii is not only gorgeous but one of my favourite pieces ever |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Concerto for 3 Harpsichords No 2, BWV 1064 | 4.0 |
| i is a lovely varied dance, ii is a meandering but not too far slow but steady stroll, iii is a more uproarious but curbing its own enthusiasm before becoming trvly raucous dance |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Concerto for 4 harpsichords and strings, BWV 1065 | 4.5 |
| i is amazing virtuosic fun, ii is a lovely duel between the masculine and feminine, iii is a climactic war against the enemy |

| Johann Sebastian Bach Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor, BWV 1043 | 3.5 |

| Johann Sebastian Bach Harpsichord Concerto No. 1, BWV 1052 | 3.5 |
| i is rather plain until 2/3s of the way through, likewise th'adagio isnt particularly interesting, almost bored and lackadaisical, but its sins are amended somewhat in the fortuitous frolic of iii |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Violin Concerto BWV 1042 in E Major | 4.0 |

| Ayat Six Years Of Dormant Hatred | 1.5 |
| such a stupid fucking album. its got some foundational bm, some great groove bm, but then all this assorted randomly hashed bullshit and ambient vocal bits that ruin the vast majority of it. the only piece they let remain solid in this shit is the first halfish of fornication and murder, its great, why isnt the rest of the album so? |

| Dead (USA-FL) Dead Demo | 2.5 |
| only thing great about this is the lady vox |
| Spiritus Mortis The Year Is One | 2.0 |

| powerdeath like a more epic arghoslent, trv spirit metal in its most primal form |
| Lorna Shore Flesh Coffin | 1.5 |
| it is so difficult binging derpcore albums dude. they do the exact same fucking thing track after track and all it rly does is make me crave actual death metal instead of this poseur shit. i mean yeah on a very rare fucking album across an entire discog there is the possiblity of a decent track, maybe even 2, but even then its due to their incorporating many much non derpcore elements. this album itself tries a little bit i guess with such elements, but im so fucking bored and it feels so much longer than 45 mins like fuck off mate. lorna fucking bore |
| Infant Annihilator The Battle of Yaldabaoth | 2.0 |
| oil shit there're actually some riffs and real blast beats on this. too bad its still stuck fast to a derpcore frame |
| Infant Annihilator The Elysian Grandeval Galèriarch | 1.0 |
| derpcore is such utter trash dude no metal in an infinity mile radius hail the trv m/ |

| magical symphonic folk/black with trv gremlin vox |
| Lord Belial Unholy Crusade | 3.5 |
| lord belial is completely streamlined by their third album culminating in a silly album cover. still its a solid slab of late 90s bm with their usual sideshow effects |
| Ufych Sormeer Anthem to the Glory of the Great Octagon | 4.0 |
| pure win bal-sagoth blasymph the whole album triumphs |
| X-Caliber Warriors of the Night | 2.5 |
| too much sap not enough metal |
| Dangerous Toys Dangerous Toys | 2.0 |
| as the band name and imagery suggests, this was pretty lame |

| Lord (FRA) Behind the Curtain of Darkness | 4.5 |
| lovely atmospheric french black symph with ethereal keys |
| Taliandorogd Neverplace | 3.5 |

| Crimson Moonlight Wings of Death | 3.5 |
| pretty good modern bm track looking forward to abaddon |
| Kalter Spiritual Angel | 4.0 |
| perfectly good melodeath that they splice for no good reason with random and stupid prog sections. the mdm so overpowers the prog that even with my total disdain for all prog it still gets a 4, literally all you have to do is dissect the prog out and you'd have an entirely listenable and admirable mdm album, great keys throughout |
| Mumford and Sons Babel | 1.0 |
| fuck your mom and all her sons i will wait makes me want to beat muppets |
| Taranis (HUN) Kingdom | 2.5 |
| what a slog to get through. makes 40 mins sound like 3 hours. alright so we got modern bm prod, which could tolerable if handled well but its not, and what is good is largely ruined by crappy singing. not to mention garbage prog structures, the only good track is an edited version of glory if you dont mind the total incel lyrics |
| Midwinter Astral Mirrors | 4.5 |
| raw melodic black symph with folk touches, golden age is a fucking masterpiece |
| Plasmatics Metal Priestess | 3.0 |
| pretty fun with well done extra effects, absolutely nothing like killers you fking poseur |
| Plasmatics New Hope for the Wretched | 2.5 |
| sloppy punks be punkin |
| Limbonic Art In Abhorrence Dementia | 2.5 |
| half and half gud and cringe, perfectly balanced, as you never want your bm to be |
| Vesperian Sorrow Psychotic Sculpture | 4.0 |
| a much more polished and genre exploratory album yet doesnt match its predecessor |
| Vesperian Sorrow Beyond The Cursed Eclipse | 4.0 |
| this is american black sympth alright, roughly hewn excess and all over the place, which isnt to say it isnt as glorious as any of the european masters. an excellent record by any account, but why, for all saint melody's sake why, is that the album cover? |
| Vesperian Sorrow A Dire Flight for the Black | 3.5 |
| a pretty great mdeath track. where the hell is the album that was supposed to come out a week and a half ago? |
| Lord Belial Rapture | 3.0 |
| not a great album by any measure but legion, throne of souls, and infinite darkness and death are fun |
| Kalter Ubuntu | 1.0 |
| an absolute butchering of everything mdm. clear and utter shit prog with smatterings of the weakest most basic bitch mdm. the only slight redeeming feature of this is the melodic chords on tracks 1, 2, and 7 |
| Frehley's Comet Frehley's Comet | 3.0 |
| a lot of this is rly lame but more good than bad, highlights in something moved and calling to you |
| Alternate Reality Alternate Reality | 2.0 |
| talentless vox ruin the otherwise decent mrock, awesome videos though with plenty of hot women |
| Limbonic Art Moon In The Scorpio | 2.5 |
| holy shit they should have never been given a studio, way to butcher your own compositions. everything super streamlined like a 2000s dimmu borgir album, the only things worth listening to being the key solos and an edited version of gleams of death |
| Limbonic Art Rehearsal 1996 [Demo] | 3.0 |
| midgood black symphs largely ruined by static |
| Varathron His Majesty at the Swamp | 2.5 |
| mid melodic blackdoom but flowers of my youth is nice |

| Limbonic Art Promo Rehearsal '95 | 3.0 |
| eve of midnight is excellent but then it just gets more and more mid, alien noises notwithstanding |
| Lee Aaron Metal Queen | 3.0 |
| starts great with bangers in title and lady of the darkest night, but then meanders to mostly mids with some dece tracks. steal away your love is intense |
| Lord Belial Kiss the Goat | 3.5 |
| a young bm band still in the amateur stage just trying to get something recorded towards the legacy of their forebears, not quite understanding the kvlt as that silly title shows. prod is too light, songs not quite structured, random not rly additive flute. still not in any way a bad effort and they use this experience to blow out a masterpiece the next time |
| W.A.S.P. The Last Command | 3.0 |
| not nearly as good as debut but wild child and blind in texas are win |
| W.A.S.P. W.A.S.P. | 3.5 |

| amazing classic bm that individually integrates all the styles developed |
| Doja Cat Amala | 1.5 |

| a nice slab of modern black symph |
| Assuck Misery Index | 1.5 |
| shit cc songs but shorter |
| Art Inferno Abyssvs Abyssvm Invocat | 3.5 |
| a darker, more amateur cradle of filth clone with stormlord elements. seriously neiro's shrieks are just like dani's didnt think anyone else could do it. highlights in orgiastic dance and blood of eternal love |
| W.A.S.P. Live at the Lyceum, London | 3.5 |
| great show. wasp are crazy, assless chaps, cock meat, and bloody boobies |
| Bullet for My Valentine Venom | 1.5 |

| p competent but not overly exciting deafdoom |
| Miles Davis Kind of Blue | 2.5 |

| Kaatayra Toda História pela Frente | 4.0 |
| epic modern bm done right, tho theres rly no point in having moonsorrow length tracks just makes me have to do the work to cut them myself. toda magoa is the best track with miseria not far behind and castigo more of a teaser |
| Mystifier Goetia | 2.0 |
| except for the baphometic goat of knights templar in the 12th century, this is pathetically amateur like a kid who wants to be kvlt so bad but knows absolutely nothing about the trv. random crappy effects and switches to a plain dm sound on some tracks |
| Mastodon Blood Mountain | 1.5 |
| mastodon proop |
| Visions Of Atlantis The Deep & The Dark | 2.5 |
| actually some decent tracks on this after 2 straight bombs, highlight in return to lemuria |

| Moonlight Sword Imperial Dragon Kommando | 4.5 |
| excellent black symph with dungeon interludes |
| Palantir Nightmare Opus | 4.0 |
| first few tracks are like a weaker version of sonarcs first albums, but then they turn it up with sailing on. title track is a masterpiece, any band that can make a 10min track like that and nail every section is worth keeping an eye on |

| Inquisition Forever Under | 3.0 |
| inquisition making actual metal but too much prog |
| Lady Luna and the Devil Vampiric Visions Vol. I: Living Blood | 2.0 |
| queen of the night is decent, and hearing a woman so casually say "i'll rip their throats out...i'll bathe in their blood" is legitimately creepy, but overall amateur doom/goth rock/metal that doesnt hit the sweet spots |

| Inquisition Anxious Death | 3.0 |
| for fun black/thrash that doesnt sound anything like the sheer crap of their lps |

| Joe Hisaishi Princess Mononoke | 3.5 |
| miyazaki's best, tho perhaps not hisaishi's. as iconic as tracks like legend of ashitaka and demon god are the same melody is used in too many variations and it could have used a few more epic themes |
| Decapitated Anticult | 1.5 |
| decapitated and this album suck so much balls like this isnt even metal |
| Melechesh Emissaries | 3.0 |
| listens like a parody of their previous works. the magic has all been poured out of the lamp, and the djinn has left them on their own, sloppily composed motionsgoing middle easterns with light riffs and room temperature vox, an unfortunate modern bm influence |
| Avatar Dance Devil Dance | 2.0 |
| bit of a mindfuck genrewise. rob zombie x king diamond x modern helloween x generic mccore x random other shit. the mccore bits instantly ruin the momentum built while theyre going on but otherwise not intolerable, though the constant genre hopping kind of pisses me off like im listening to a mix of 5 different records. highlight in title track which does it better than any other |

| rather weak and lite bm with only title track standing out |
| Kim Petras One Piece of Tape | 2.0 |
| a much more innocent kim petras, supersonics pretty gud |

| Lindsey Stirling Lindsey Stomp | 3.5 |
| transcendence is awesome, cage is weak, spontaneous is decent |
| Three Days Grace Lost In You EP | 2.5 |

| not as solid as debut n soph but overall great tracks just listen to tattvic fire |

| theocracy 70% off |
| Dio The Last in Line | 2.5 |
| decent rocky metals with a wonderful highlight in speed at night |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me | 2.0 |
| a handful of decent riffs but nothing substantial, a mix of acoustic pop and emo/punk that like so many other bands superficially attempts to tickle the souldepth and arrogantly believes itself to be doing so yet is nothing but pure air |

| fun lectrix, tho too many songs sound like sandstorm. highlight in out of control |

| a bland sodom entirely incapable of causing hellfire and brimstone from heaven |

| first half is pure lolz but second half isnt bad |
| Tribulation The Formulas of Death | 3.0 |
| one of those experimental bm albums without anything especially pungent |
| Frozen Land Frozen Land | 3.0 |
| decent but by no means amazing power metulz, best tracks delusions and mask |
| Frozen Land Out of the Dark | 2.5 |
| a decidedly mid pm album. cool art, kings a bitch and white lightning are the best tracks, techno bullshit on the last 2 tracks makes them nearly intolerable |
| Vektor Black Future | 4.0 |
| blazing thrash with dani shrieks, who could resist? |
| Sodom Epitome of Torture | 2.0 |
| epitome of subpar to mid af thrash |
| Diabolical Funeral Queime a Igreja | 3.0 |

| yet another bland blackdoom demo by barry |
| Barathrum Sanctus Satanas (Studio & Stage) | 3.0 |

| blackened thrash that never stops slapping m/ |

| die antwoords die antwoordin |
| Die Antwoord Enter The Ninja | 2.0 |
| silly but well produced song |
| Edenbridge Sunrise In Eden (Gandalf Mix) | 4.0 |
| a weaker mix emphasizing sabine's vocals. still very beautiful, but the final release is more impactful |
| Cattle Decapitation Humanure | 1.5 |
| some literally crappy cc dm. yes i eat beef bitch, maybe if you did too this wouldnt sound so weak |
| Kavara Weathered & Lost | 2.0 |
| mccore based melobleh. imagine being a canadian and seeing this band from london, ontario, then being met with this sheer disappointment. le sigh |

| haha you see what they did with the slash? anyway basic silly bdm split |
| Incantation Thieves of the Cloth | 3.0 |
| some fairly deathy incantations |

| some nice folk instrums with polish lady vox, highlights in chants and pagantiga |
| Sodom In War and Pieces | 2.5 |
| a weak sodom |
| Tristania Darkest White | 2.0 |
| a case of too many members wanting too many different things. better than their last album but not by much with a handful of decent soaring moments. at least they dont sound like stinky stinky priest |
| Tristania Tristania | 3.0 |
| sum pretty good symphs |
| Tristania Rubicon | 1.5 |
| among the worst of symph. some priest like songs if ur into that |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Omnium Gatherum | 1.5 |
| omnium garbagium |
| Leaves' Eyes Viking Spirit (Original Score) | 2.5 |

| Dio Sacred Heart | 2.5 |
| inoffensive dio metal, highlight in rock n roll children |
| Tryglav Night of Whispering Souls | 3.0 |
| any band that follows at the gates' brand of garbage mdm is sure to faulter, fortunately the tryglav blacken everything somewhat so its not intolerable and even has a highlight in title |
| GROMS Ascension | 3.5 |
| trad/doom riffs (with some prog unfortunately) and death vox for JAYSUS. its an unusual mix but works quite nicely |

| a more flutey, artsy siffy, but with wins in men! and esp kreuzeslast |
| Drowning Pool Desensitized | 2.5 |
| fake bikini bitch tits music agreed |
| Deftones White Pony | 2.0 |
| 2000s nude muddles with some not entirely offensive drone |

| Elderwind The Magic of Nature | 4.5 |
| very excellent melodic blackdoom |
| Dodheimsgard Black Medium Current | 1.5 |
| vntrv drawn and quartered imposter bm |
| Morrissey Vauxhall and I | 1.5 |
| morrissey sucks ass |
| Carrie Underwood Carnival Ride | 2.0 |
| sobering to hear a pop album not entirely about fucking. american girl is cute, quite a bit of filler, but she expresses a variety of emotions well without losing strength in her voice or being overly melodramatic. if anything its the songwriters that have let her down as nothing is particularly compelling despite her excellent vocals |
| Candlemass Sweet Evil Sun | 2.0 |
| too much drawled out heavy and little doom. only decent track is scandinavian gods |
| Incantation Upon the Throne of Apocalypse | 4.0 |
| just as win as mortal throne m/ |

| quiet but nevertheless the thrash shines thru |

| for what can be made out, a pretty good dm demo |
| Styx Brave New World | 1.0 |
| absolute fucking crap that goes on for way too long |
| REO Speedwagon REO Speedwagon | 2.0 |
| jammy rock boogie tunes none of which are at all addicting |
| Grand Belial's Key On a Mule Rides the Swindler | 3.0 |
| title is a great gbk track followed by a really crappy live recording |
| Grand Belial's Key The Tricifixion of Swine EP | 3.5 |
| a pretty great if short ep with black ram passing through several different avenues as a more epic track |
| Shining (SWE) Lots of Girls Gonna Get Hurt | 3.0 |
| a pretty good cover ep tbh |
| Killswitch Engage As Daylight Dies | 2.0 |
| fuck me im actually gonna end up with kse in my library...on my curse he sounds so much like yama b and i cant resist |
| Oceanic Void Demo 2022 | 2.5 |
| alright for bdm |
| The Griefbearer The Servant | 3.0 |
| this guy releases too many albums to ever create something trvly worthy, nevertheless this is decent lightly toned black/symph/folk with a highlight in sacrifice |
| Grand Belial's Key A Witness to the Regicide EP | 3.0 |
| nothing too crazy on this but a decent listen |
| Grand Belial's Key Triumph of the Hordes | 3.5 |
| a more dmy gbk, bold emphasized melodies with a highlight in darkness throne |
| Pestilence Malleus Maleficarum | 3.5 |
| essentially being a clone of death means a clone of trv dm m/ |
| Phantom Elite Wasteland | 3.0 |
| another good but not amazing symph band. cover is rather uninviting and reminds me of alice in chains bleh. highlight in sirens call |
| ReVamp ReVamp | 3.0 |
| floor sounds a lot like simone here, good symphs but somehow nothing captivating |
| Pestilence Consuming Impulse | 3.5 |
| classic trv death clone dm |
| Grand Belial's Key Goat of a Thousand Young | 3.0 |
| shemhamforash with intro is great but the rest is rather minimal, silly joker screams, production damn good for a debut 1992 demo |
| Jumpin' Jesus Demo | 3.5 |
| demo is carried by cloning the future, otherwise mid just trying it out dm |
| Midnattsol Midnattsol | 3.5 |
| some great tracks though desolation is somewhat awkward |
| Thurnin Menhir | 3.0 |
| first half has a good variety with lovely acoustic melodies and trimmings but it peters out in the second half. fuck off gyro |
| Thurnin Útiseta | 3.0 |
| wouldve preferred more variety, more use of flute/folk chorus/strings and at least a few more upbeat tunes. still you can chill to it and is guaranteed to get you out of a cortisol fog, highlights in title and saera |
| Slania The Spark | 3.0 |
| heavier on the instrumentation than debut, but her singing also isnt as good. more than a little prog and generic riffs ruin it somewhat, but nameless song is a star and subj inhibitions is pretty good despite its faults |
| Bond Fab Field's Mix | 3.5 |
| atlanta stands out amongst these generally fun string mixes |
| Bond Raymond Weil | 3.5 |
| victory remix ruins it but othello, duel, and bella donna are great |
| Bond The Collection | 4.0 |
| behold, trvly beautiful, talented women |
| Slayyyter Starfucker | 1.5 |
| was expecting something more aggressive given her imagery, but instead its a bunch of largely innocuous pop blops with no punch at all. even the wap wannabe track can hardly be considered provocative. regardless glad to see tom araya enjoying his transition |
| Slania Proof of Existence | 3.5 |
| a goth/symph album with minimal instrumentation. canela's voice, while very lovely and rightly put centre stage, cannot carry the band by itself however, but a nice light listen. highlights in losing everything, bleeding diamonds, willing aim, and wake world with its partially spanish lyrics |
| Scourged Flesh Released From Damnation | 3.0 |
| some decent deathrashin goin on, similar to mortification debut |
| Lady Gaga The Fame Monster | 2.0 |
| not too bad, romance could have been good, dance is the dark is actually pretty smooth save the stupid side effects, everything else somewhat tolerable poppins |
| Vinterland It's Here I Belong | 3.5 |
| a great lofi demo even if its somewhat muffled |
| Vinterland A Castle So Crystal Clear | 3.5 |
| some great vinterland tracks |
| Yellowcard A Perfect Sky | 2.0 |
| msk remix is ok, acoustic n california mix are trash |
| Yellowcard Deep Cuts | 2.5 |
| this is carried by the great live edition of hollywood. acoustics are bleh |
| Yellowcard Underdog | 3.0 |
| a bigger sound with the production on point but no track is quite the clincher |
| Yellowcard Still Standing | 3.0 |
| not a bad ep, gets a little too whiny, highlight in millenium changed |
| Legion of the Damned The Poison Chalice | 3.0 |
| first four tracks are absolute shit but then they pick it up with the highlight of behold the beyond and the rest of the album is pretty good mdm. chimes and beheading are also personal picks |

| sounds like an actual album, but nothing compelling |
| Skinless Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead | 3.5 |
| starts amazing with overlord and unilateral disgust and had me thinking can this possibly be good techdeath with thoughtful riffs and fills?! but then they proceed to ride the more generic train and it takes it down. sabbath cover was pretty funny though |
| Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran | 2.0 |

| Ed Sheeran The Orange Room | 1.5 |
| songwriting isnt too poor but his voice hasnt dropped yet and he has poor control |
| Arcturus Aspera Hiems Symfonia | 3.5 |
| a lot of different styles churned around, often too slow where it really doesn't need to be in an attempt to be epic but misses the mark most of the time. still their doomy dimmyness works wonderfully in fall of man, and to thou is a great banger |
| Edenfall Forever Fallen | 3.5 |
| somnolent yet effective gothdoom, with edits omen and beauty are highlights |

| actually a pretty solid album with enough variations to keep it interesting enough. highlight in the flight of the bumblebee imitating blood of the funeral |
| Blind Guardian Follow the Blind | 3.0 |

| chill soft rocks |

| flawless blackened melodeath |
| Sinergy Beware The Heavens | 3.5 |
| kimberly goss is actually a rly good singer/keyboard player. alexi is on autopilot for the most part, either saving it for bodom or his riffs just not meant to take over kims pieces. highlights in warrior princess and virtual future (which has legit bodom riffs) |
| ...and Oceans The Symmetry of I - The Circle of O | 3.5 |
| ...uhhh this band. silly, silly bois, still mostly solid bm and adjacent with highlights in aquarium of children (why) and salipsism |

| Goodnight Nurse Always and Never | 2.5 |
| decent length of bop punks, highlight in suffer |
| Warmen Beyond Abilities | 4.0 |
| damn he actually worked on this one. several tracks basically bodom with the keys as the main riffs, title, hidden, trip, dawn, singer's chance are all great, and salieri strikes back is hilarious as well as a fully legit and best tune |
| Ad Infinitum Chapter III - Downfall | 2.5 |
| lots of energy but is largely pure pop without anything very engaging, and naturally adding random cacophonic mccore riffs gets a penalty |
| Sodom Masquerade in Blood | 3.5 |
| sodom bouncing from thrash to dm to pure motorhead worship |
| Savatage Gutter Ballet | 3.0 |
| decent fresh sounding classic style metulz |

| lolz |
| Ceremonium Nightfall In Heaven | 3.0 |
| some pretty average osdm |
| INVICTUS (CAN) Unstoppable | 2.0 |
| so "that deep down energy inside my thoughts which drives me to compete and, in many ways, survive everything thrown at me" means writing another kataklysm album with even more mccore elements? |

| prayer shawl is an amazing track followed by their usual midgoodgreat often awkward guitar tone blundercesses |
| Anna Murphy Cellar Darling (Re-Mixed) | 2.0 |

| The Weeknd After Hours | 1.5 |
| some good moments on hardest and i think blinding lights? but this tries real hard to down to a 1 with its droning digital crap |
| Vinterland Welcome My Last Chapter | 3.5 |
| listens like a sampler of every main 90s bm style. sum dimmy, sum empy, sum mayhem, quite a bit of dissection, an attempt at bathory, sum what would later become dsbm, as well as a touch of gothenburg. as such never really comes together in unity or their own uniqueness, with only our dawn of glory standing out |
| Kataklysm Sorcery | 2.0 |
| some of the worst dm ever katakommunism always sucked |
| Kataklysm Goliath | 2.0 |
| experimenting with derpcore elements is never a good thing, otherwise typical krappy kataklysm shlack. rly dont know why maurizio ever thought he fit in death metal |
| Charlie Puth Voicenotes | 1.0 |
| so thats where that damn song is from. fucking jay shit |
| Unanimated Annihilation | 3.5 |

| fair effort trad style pm but no standouts |
| Yellowcard Midget Tossing | 2.0 |

| yea i have no idea what the fuck this is. a lot of tracks are just cradlelite but then the others...wtffff |
| Lapalux Ruinism | 2.0 |

| Graveworm Scourge of Malice | 4.5 |
| nearly perfect album culminating in an impossible dark symphony storm with an awesome fear of the dark cover |
| Graveworm Engraved in Black | 4.0 |
| better production is both a good and bad thing, the trv times starting to get left behind, a bit too crisp. the songwriting also isnt as good, with several tracks requiring edits or just skipped completely, unlike previous albums. still, it is a win graveworm |

| Mortician Chainsaw Dismemberment | 3.0 |
| decent grindy deaths |
| Graveworm As the Angels Reach the Beauty | 4.0 |
| a gothic black dream, dreaming beauty is the best in this symphony of dark majesty, unfortunately setting up a higher standard for the rest, which while all excellent, dont ever quite reach the initial impression. a couple of the slower tracks are too long as well, but pure win bum regardless m/ |
| Tristania Illumination | 2.0 |
| another exhausting album with no good tracks |
| Tristania Ashes | 2.0 |

| GAME FREAK Pokémon Black & Pokémon White | 3.0 |
| finally after 6 hours and 20 minutes (didnt realize just how expansive the soundtrack is), most of it as often is the case only goes with the game. my favourites include skyarrow bridge, castelia city (love it! so happy :D), opelucid city, n decisive battle, pokemon league, route 12 in summer, global terminal, village bridge acoustic, and kyurem battle |

| acoustics suck but demo n live are just as win as the album versions |
| Queen Jazz | 2.5 |
| mustapha is pretty racistly fun, fat bottomed girls make the rockin world go round, bicycle race is prob top 3 queen, and while i dont personally care for dont stop me its surely one of their best compositions as well. rest is forgettable garbo |
| Drowning Pool Full Circle | 2.5 |
| sum energetic ahrd alt rocks but nothing trvly spirited |

| Omnium Gatherum Non-Album Singles | 4.0 |

| Edenbridge Solitaire | 3.0 |
| the effort is there they just dont reach for anything spectacular and it gets unnecessarily drawling at the end |
| Edge Of Paradise Universe | 2.5 |
| an awkward and quite cringe at moments mrock album with some dusties sprinkled throughout, but also not technically that bad. still the only standout track is burn the sun, an instrumental where they actually play their instruments and the rock princess vox dont hold them back (tho i still wish it was a complete ensemble, its further awkward that the only actually good track doesnt have at least some passable vocal lines) |

| lil bitch needs a chiropractor and a knuckle sandwich. started okay but gets boring and seems way longer than 36 mins |

| destiny is great followed by some decent saps |
| Galneryus Voices from the Past III | 3.0 |
| some more lesser picks but they make them as trv as possible |
| Cauldron Tomorrow's Lost | 3.0 |
| weirdly lofi vox for a tertiary 2013 release. decent enough power/thrash but nothing enticing |

| Johann Sebastian Bach Italian Concerto, BWV 971 | 3.5 |
| perfectly adequate concerto, i is fun but iii lets it go |
| Edenbridge Sunrise in Eden | 4.5 |
| *~*~*~lovely~symphonic~majesty~*~*~* amazing album. absolutely worthy of their name, raw and beautiful, every track hits its mark |
| Paladin (USA) Ascension | 3.0 |
| an attempt to mix power n mdeth but its not that great |
| Paladin (CAN) Purification du Mal | 3.5 |
| modern style autopsy from quebec. the guitar tone sounds light and grungy yet surely death metal all the same. the grooves are killer, but overall too doomy. l'ordre, brule, and title rule m/ |
| Galneryus Voices From the Past | 3.5 |
| an ep of covers like youve never heard them before. highlight in waiting for the night |
| Yellowcard Where We Stand | 3.5 |
| raw and unpolished, verging on metallic, this album is just fun. highlights in kids and doesnt matter |
| Street Pharmacy Divorce | 3.0 |
| they dropped the reggae for some straight up pop punk and its not even bad, highlight in stone bricks |
| Galneryus Everlasting | 3.5 |
| title is one of their best ever songs, others a good-greats |
| Edenbridge Shine | 4.0 |
| another solid album, only a few tracks that dont bang as ahrd as the rest. move along and wild chase are mightiest among the mighty |
| Theocracy Theocracy | 3.5 |
| what a better concept than power metal for JAYZUZ. middle trax wind from the narrow path but fish and jerusalem to twist of fate rule pretty ahrd |
| Aetherian At Storm's Edge | 3.5 |
| a mix of belakor n nomnium, better than the former but nowhere near as good as the latter. highlights in aenean fire and starlit shores |
| Galneryus Rebel Flag | 4.0 |
| title is one of their best songs, the keys dude. requiem is a decent intermission and then final resolution for overall epicity |
| Delain Lunar Prelude | 3.0 |
| always ready for some delain. turn the lights out is great and stardust is one of their best songs |
| Galneryus United Flag (Demo) | 3.5 |
| yama doesnt sound so good on this early demo but still rulz |
| Styx Man of Miracles | 3.0 |
| great energy, the beatles with balls. highlight in southern woman |

| kind of soothing but mostly pointless |
| Galneryus 毘藍ノ風/流転ノ陽 | 3.5 |
| pure win anime metal |

| lectrypop rockers with the intrums often sounding better than the banal voiced mixes |

| poppy lectro rocks with a few decent fills |
| Within Temptation The Howling | 3.0 |

| Within Temptation Paradise (What About Us?) | 3.5 |
| best pop ever |
| Visions Of Atlantis Cast Away | 3.0 |

| at least you apologized. expensive goes ahrd |
| Within Temptation The Dance | 3.5 |
| title n other half are pure win |
| Wintersun Warning | 1.5 |
| all that melodic research and you come up with orchestrated mccore? fuck off dude |
| Within Temptation Restless | 3.0 |
| title track pretty damn good, pearls not so much |
| Ghost Bath Ghost Bath EP | 3.5 |
| screams too girly on apathy but good melody, lust is pure win, and some dece instrums |
| Black Funeral Empire of Blood | 3.0 |
| tries too hard to be lofi and imitate european bm |
| Rebecca Black Non Album Singles | 2.0 |
| cant even hate |
| Radiohead The Bends | 2.0 |
| the baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllzzzzzzzzz, street spirit is the only decent track |
| Edenbridge Aphelion | 3.5 |
| edenbridge is difficult to rate because they neither soar too high nor fall too low, like reading war and peace. still there's enough in undiscovered land, skyward, whispering gallery, and farpoint anywhere to merit collection |
| Japan Adolescent Sex | 2.5 |
| decent jam rocks |
| Rebecca Black RE/BL | 2.0 |
| not entirely bad tbh |
| Street Pharmacy Pharmanomics | 2.0 |
| some good tunes but nothing standout and gets too samey |
| Queen Queen | 3.0 |
| when queen was a trv rock band |
| Rebecca Black Rebecca Black Was Here | 1.5 |
| gross. sounds about the same as every other dime a dozen pop wannabe tho |
| Krallice Orphan of Sickness | 3.5 |
| decent more dmy krallice |
| Aetherian Tales of Our Times | 3.0 |
| belakor style mdm but with some awkward tunings n an unnecessary effect on the vox to try to make it sound bigger |
| Cirith Ungol Half Past Human | 3.0 |
| not as good as they used to be but its still cirith ungol |
| Cirith Ungol Witch's Game | 3.0 |
| a not so great new single with some classic ungol |
| Stream Of Passion The Flame Within | 3.0 |
| nothing too great but the soar on street spirit cover is nice |
| Illumishade Eclyptic: Wake of Shadows | 2.0 |
| this is pretty bleh |
| How to Care for Flowers For a Brief Moment I Felt the Sun’s Warmth… | 3.0 |
| great keys on i but wish it crescendoed into something more, good pemo vox, great melodic riffs n timing, mixing is on point. great groove on ii, but the harsh vox arent rly necessary n the derpcore is a jarring anticlimax. iii good provocation between saccharinity n subject matter, unexpected but welcome deathvox flow seamlessly, tho the sudden transition from that to lofty japanese chanting is awkward and too soon. overall interested in more |
| The Cruxshadows Ethernaut | 2.5 |
| his largely annoying voice gets some getting used to and often takes away from the pretty good lectro instrumentation but no track is entirely bad. sounds like a deguitarized birthday massacre with chibi unfortunately taking a sick day. still i like citadel quite a bit |
| Cirith Ungol Live | 3.5 |
| rulz |
| Cirith Ungol Cirith Ungol | 3.5 |
| the constant hshshshshshshhsssshhss does get in the way of the riffs sometimes but still rules |
| Ravencult Morbid Blood | 3.5 |
| title, winds of damnation, and unspoken oath are some great rockers, everything else competent but largely average modern bm |
| Visions Of Atlantis Wanderers | 3.0 |
| first half esp release and heroes is relaxed happy metal but the effect dwindles as the songs become plainer |
| Sleep Token This Place Will Become Your Tomb | 1.5 |
| this is token music that makes me sleep alright |
| Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill | 2.5 |
| so classic, so silly |
| Cirith Ungol The Orange Album (demo) | 4.0 |
| cirith is the best |
| The Dark Side of the Moon Metamorphosis | 1.5 |
| this is awful. like the pretty reckless attempted to go metal, horrible pop licks and cringe progressions on their originals, the butchered covers, not great pieces to start with, are the rotten cherry on top bleh |
| Alestorm Leviathan | 2.0 |
| only wolves of the sea sounds decent, get your german wenches on tho |
| Alestorm Terror on the High Seas | 3.0 |
| a more metal mix on this than debut |
| Edenbridge Arcana | 4.0 |
| full of subtle but heavy prettinesses. a lot of air supply, a few tracks seem directly inspired by a part of your world, highlights in starlight reverie, palace, color my sky, whisper of the ages, suspiria, and winter winds |
| Alestorm Battleheart | 2.0 |
| alestorm but with total balls production |
| Moonlight Haze Lunaris | 3.0 |
| was hoping with a name like that it'd be more epic or doomy/black. unfortunately mere competent but not excellent symph |
| Atargatis Wasteland | 3.0 |
| title and selina are good, circle of life has some high notes, but that male vocalist is garbage when he comes on and he needs to be fired. she herself is pretty good but nothing too captivating on here |
| Therion Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas | 3.5 |
| as the title implies theyre already on their way to symphing. with a dm basis, this gets a little symphy, a little bmy, a little mdmy, a little prog, a little weird. nothing too great but overall a fun record |
| Stream Of Passion A War of Our Own | 2.5 |
| title track grew on me and is great but the rest is too samey with few standout moments |
| Dark Sarah Grim | 2.5 |
| the chosen one is great but the rest is so horribly generic, often terrible lyrics, the guitars and drums merely existing. some classic crescendoes and symph pop drops but theyre ruined by the general lack of imagination |
| Visions Of Atlantis Eternal Endless Infinity | 3.5 |
| the fuck is this average? lovebearing storm is a f*cking treasure. unfortunately too many amateur solo male vox overall, they sound best when alternating or just nicole solo. eclipse and chasing the light are good rompers, the latter containing some of nicole's best notes |
| Alestorm Curse of the Crystal Coconut (16th Century Version | 2.0 |
| sounds a lot better in some ways than the original |
| Imagine Dragons Night Visions | 2.0 |
| what music industry conspiracy bullshit occurred that made this whole album be played nonstop on every pa system everywhere for going on more than a decade. like seriously did they ever have any hits after this? |
| Nocturnus The Key | 3.0 |
| another dm classic weakened by prog n little croak vox |
| Sleep Token Take Me Back to Eden | 2.0 |
| djenty imagine dragons not as bad as i thought |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 12 | 3.0 |

| dece-good blackish mdms with highlights in well of might, wasted lands, n title |
| SuidAkrA Caledonia | 3.0 |

| bbmetl classics |
| BABYMETAL Ijime, Dame, Zettai | 3.0 |

| BABYMETAL BABYMETAL - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!! | 2.5 |
| decently fun lectrypizzas |
| BABYMETAL BABYMETAL x Kiba of Akiba | 2.0 |
| the hitsune miku bits are fun but then you have the little girl vox and horrible breakdowns, and some stupid anime opening at the end |
| Atheist Beyond '88 Demo | 4.0 |
| prod is a bit more ass than it needs to be but still some of the trvest dm ever |
| George Frideric Handel Organ Concerto in F major, HWV 295 | 3.0 |
| an okay piece but like much of handel a lot to be desired |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Organ Concerto in D minor, BWV 596 | 4.0 |
| wonderful concerto throughout, even the largo carries full weight |
| Henry Purcell Sonata in D major, Z.850 | 3.0 |
| a decent short sonata accentuating the trumpet |
| Antonio Vivaldi Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 3 No. 6 RV 356 | 4.0 |
| i is majestic, ii is sombre filler, iii a simple unhinged attack |
| Antonio Vivaldi Cello Sonata in B-flat major, RV 46 | 3.5 |
| a relaxing and rather mid sonata until iv when he amps it up |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Violin Partita No.3 in E major, BWV 1006 | 3.5 |
| rather mid bach that goes pleasantly enough along but never crescends to the sky |
| Spectral Drug Exercises in Futility (Mgla Synthwave Cover) | 3.5 |
| cool adaptation, v goes so ahrddddd |
| Little V. Epic Metal Covers, Vol. 1 | 3.5 |
| not as good as other covers ive heard but still killer instinct, squid sisters, and undertale stick out |
| Johann Pachelbel Toccata in E minor | 4.0 |
| simply an excellent organ toccata from the master |
| Johann Pachelbel Ach Gott, Vom Himmel Sieh Darein, P.1 | 4.0 |
| pabels organ arrangement naturally excellent |
| Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132 | 4.0 |
| requires some editing to keep the highlights high in i-iii, but like his other quartets he lets it rip in iv and v |
| Women Public Strain | 2.0 |
| some cool twangs but nothing captivating |
| The Tragically Hip Man Machine Poem | 1.5 |
| canadian farts |
| Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135 | 3.5 |
| as birb boy said but with a trv rating. simple delights esp in i, the required sombre but not too melodramatic iii, and iv pulling it all together, an old master continuing to compose out of cultured habit without any need to conquer |
| The Tragically Hip Now For Plan A | 2.5 |
| some strong songs on the front but soon devolves into their usual half assed drudgery |
| SuidAkrA Lupine Essence | 3.5 |
| raw amateurish meloblack/death with some folk n atmos, highlights in dragon tribe and heresy |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 5 | 3.5 |
| solid adaptations with highlights in urf, piercing light, fight 2, clash bridge, and the glorious cover of team aqua magma leader |
| Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 14 in C♯ minor, Op. 131 | 4.0 |
| mild pleasantries until the beast is awakened in iv, he's let out in force in v, temporarily subdued in vi, and allowed to wreak havoc in the apocalypse that is vii |
| Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No.12 E-flat Major,Op127 | 3.5 |
| i is a decent easy goer without anything trvly standout, ii inoffensive, rather bland, iii is the star, an old shiner looking back at beety's prolific career, finally iv keeps the momentum and yields a satisfying if trite conclusion |
| Dietrich Buxtehude Gott Hilf Mir, BuxWV 34 | 2.0 |
| god awful cantata, again only the sonata is decent |
| Dietrich Buxtehude Membra Jesu Nostri, BuxWV 75 | 2.5 |
| extremely boring cantatas, only the sonatas are worth listening to |
| Giacinto Scelsi Natura Renovatur | 2.0 |
| bullshit b horror movie filmscore music? |
| Johann Pachelbel Chaconne in D Major, P. 40 | 3.5 |
| like a miniature hexachordum apollinis, it starts gentle, gets more confident, and plays softly before letting out the accumulated passion |
| Johann Pachelbel Chaconne in F Minor, P. 43 | 4.5 |
| simply powerful |
| Johann Pachelbel Hexachordum Apollinis | 4.0 |
| not pabel's best, still they suggest indeed what apollo might have first played if he had invented keys instead of the lyre and flute, getting gradually better and more masterful within his first hour of play, as the arias arrange themselves from the more timid to the confident, iv and v proudly expounding themselves in their second halves, while the finale in vi goes ever beyond exploring, experimenting, creating, divulging the novice becoming the master |
| Ludwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 13 in B♭ major, Op. 130 | 3.5 |
| i is great, ii-iv are rather plain, v is moot lethargy, vi is glorious and thank god his publisher made him replace grosse fuge with it |
| Ludwig van Beethoven Große Fuge, Op. 133 | 3.5 |
| panned in his day, it really shouldnt have been. sure its a little awkward, but the man was deaf and at the end of his career, why shouldnt he pull a metallica/lou reed? |
| Carlo Gesualdo Tenebrae Responsoria | 3.0 |
| a man can only take so much latin choral singing. still its peaceful, and if pretending to be at mass on a medieval sunday is your kink, you wont find a better escape than this |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers: Metal 'Em All | 4.0 |
| heard better guzma but its ok, alola elite four is p good, best cynthia ive ever heard, prob the best lavender town too he turns it into a real song, battle theme from oras goes ahrd, deoxys is great, lusamines are prob best ive heard, resh/zekrom is always epic, and his solgaleo/lunala is ahrd as fuck |

| another solid cover album featuring dbz |
| Venom Inc. Avé | 3.0 |
| a watered down venomish album featuring crystal mrock/thrash that, like the cronosless albums of the main band, is simply not venom, though thankfully it leans much more towards the prime evil era than the absolute trash that were temples of ice and the wastelands. highlights in forged in hell and metal we bleed |
| The Tragically Hip Phantom Power | 2.5 |
| simply a mid tth |
| Avantasia The Mystery Of Time | 2.0 |

| Cory Hanson Western Cum | 2.0 |
| the audio equivalent of prison loaf |
| Andrew W.K. I Get Wet | 3.0 |
| fun times |
| The Tragically Hip Road Apples | 2.0 |
| but followed up with a bunch of humdrums |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 6 | 3.5 |
| bangers on this edition include fugue, doll judgment, and necrofantasia |
| The Tragically Hip Up To Here | 3.0 |
| the hip start out well, decent good joikers with lovely vibratto vox |
| Alexisonfire Otherness | 1.0 |
| now this shit is just pointless |
| Alexisonfire Old Crows / Young Cardinals | 1.0 |
| normally i dont care too much about lyrics but those on this are so atrocious i cant even give this here dallas-green-just-wants-to-get-back-to-city-and-colour-core .5 |
| After the Burial Rareform | 2.0 |
| after the djent - djentform |
| String Player Gamer VGM Singles 2015 | 3.0 |
| only the song of healing stands out from a plethora of decents |
| String Player Gamer UNDERTALE: Strings of Determination (Complete Edit | 3.5 |
| certain tracks are much well adopted than others, the stars including asgore, megalovania, home, heartache, battle trv, hopes n dreams, save the world and finale. comes with a few new tracks not on the original albums |
| String Player Gamer Undertale: Strings of Determination Vol. 4 | 3.0 |
| lesser tracks until nightmare and finale |
| String Player Gamer Undertale: Strings of Determination Vol. 2 | 3.5 |
| this one has beautiful renditions of home, heartache, and battle against a trv hero, but also unfortunately a bunch of filler/dialogue tracks leaving the album somewhat nonplussed |
| String Player Gamer Undertale: Strings of Determination Vol. 1 | 3.5 |
| has some of the lesser/more trolly tracks so not as solid as it could be but ending with beautiful renditions of asgore and megalovania makes it impossible to rate this any less |
| Thousand Foot Krutch Welcome to the Masquerade | 1.5 |
| no bangers, bois, no bangers |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 2 | 3.5 |
| heartache is a masterpiece and a trv treasure, and maiden astraea is pretty good, but the rest leave something to be desired despite general good work. gerudo valley, my favourite zelda piece, somehow is less interesting in this style and it doesn't pack as much punch. the rest like wise, while well done, don't quite capture the imagination |
| String Player Gamer Rebirth | 3.0 |
| not every adaptation is a hit, some things are really random. still the general quality is there, with the instrum to jump up, lon lon ranch, magnet man, and chun li's theme my favourites |
| String Player Gamer Undertale: Strings of Determination Vol. 3 | 3.5 |
| hopes and dreams/save the world is majestic, the rest well done but not as intimate |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers: Undertale | 4.0 |
| megalovania, asgore, battle trv hero, and hopes and dreams are beautiful, with everything else granted a huge step up |
| FalKKonE Intense Symphonic Metal Covers, Vol. 8 | 4.0 |
| together we ride is epic as hell, and a lot of work was put into making every other track trvly METAL as well |
| Alexisonfire Watch Out! | 1.5 |
| started good but soon devolved into a senseless mess |
| Alcest Spiritual Instinct | 3.5 |
| best 'cest ;) |
| Ed Sheeran – | 1.5 |
| damn not even one bop |
| Quiet Riot Metal Health | 2.5 |
| one of those albums where the effort is there but the spirit is half assed |
| Mudvayne L.D. 50 | 1.5 |
| nudecore rly? what bullshit will they come up with next |
| The Human Abstract Digital Veil | 1.5 |
| ok this is ass except elegiac |

| ok this is epic |
| Alcest Kodama | 2.5 |
| ah, il y a le metal |
| Lindsey Stirling Snow Waltz | 2.0 |
| another christmas album tho? only thing good on this one is her original ice storm |
| Lindsey Stirling Warmer in the Winter | 3.0 |
| a christmas album that isnt cringe. most tracks simply sound better than usual on lindsey's violin, with her rendition of carol of the bells an actual masterpiece. still have the untalented singers on some tracks but its w/e for the most part. wander as i wonder is great as well but would have been better without the vocals |
| Boards of Canada Twoism | 2.0 |
| good elevator tunes |
| Boards of Canada Hi Scores | 2.0 |
| chill beatz |
| Taylor Davis The Anime and Game Collection | 3.5 |
| most of these i dont know so i cant tell how faithful/how good it is compared to the original, however wilys castle and merry go of life are good, attack on titan theme, lilium and angel beats are great, and finally path of the wind is amazing |
| Taylor Davis Melodies of Hyrule | 3.0 |
| a lot of these are actually quite wanting. not sure of its the elec violin itself or just how she recomposed them with it in mind. regardless gerudo valley is a gem and great fairy fountain is heaven |
| Lindsey Stirling Brave Enough | 2.5 |
| wtf happened? on her previous albums she only flirted with pop flops but this has a whole army of untalented singers pushing her violin to the wayside. nevertheless lost girls exists and arena + phoenix are 2 of her best ever pieces, such a shame theyre followed by so much crap |
| Air Supply Mumbo Jumbo | 2.0 |
| surprisingly contemporary, these old men prove they can compete with any 21st century pop icon including a highlight in faith and the ultra cringe lovesex |
| Gods of Gaia As Daylight Dies | 3.0 |
| a mix of amateur mdm n symph. the low level dm vox often distract from the otherwise decent instrumentation and sometimes break it. still a valid effort however with a highlight in i want out |
| Lindsey Stirling Shatter Me | 4.0 |
| has several awkward compositions that make it difficult to give such a high score, and the vox on a couple tracks are pretty pointless, but when she kills it she kills it. take flight, ascendance and master of tides are especially potent |
| Napalm Death Harmony Corruption | 3.0 |
| rather plain dm |
| Napalm Death From Enslavement to Obliteration | 3.5 |
| fixing their prod issues reveals the face of trv deathgrind |
| Lacey Sturm Life Screams | 2.0 |
| flyleaf x pretty reckless. and like the reckless, it has no hits |
| Alcest Shelter | 1.5 |
| monsieur, ou est le metal? |
| Your Favorite Martian YFM 2011 | 3.0 |
| theyre silly, theyre dumb, and that combined with genuine production makes them better than the majority of the pop/rap etc that they parody. fight to win goes particularly ahrd. YOU AINT SEEN MAH BALLZ |
| Pig Destroyer Prowler in the Yard | 2.0 |
| rawer production and a cannibal corpse cover doesnt save grind from just being grind |
| Lindsey Stirling Artemis | 4.0 |
| a lot more streamlined but the electro elements are well integrated. opening tracks are great, half dozen mids afterward, but darkside onward solidifies it with guardian and aurora among her top most efforts |
| Holy Moses Redefined Mayhem | 2.5 |
| thrashcore aint all bad |
| Lindsey Stirling Lindsey Stirling | 4.0 |
| excellent violinwomanship with the dubsteppy/lectro fects not adding anything most of the time but not taking anything away either. crystallize n transcendence are especially ahrd |
| LEDGER LEDGER | 3.0 |
| not dead yet and foreigner shine on an otherwise unstellar ep |
| God Dethroned Ravenous | 2.5 |
| blackened death on paper n thats about it |
| Pig Destroyer Terrifyer | 2.0 |
| grindcore be grindin BIG FAKE FAT TITS |
| Black Funeral Vukolak | 2.0 |
| the constant fuckin marilyn manson distortion on the vox doesnt make u metal dude. good instrums tho |
| Merauder Master Killer | 2.5 |
| not bad for groove |
| Air Supply Free Love | 1.5 |
| steamy cover ;) but never too late is the only track remotely worthwhile, why they didnt put a few of their classics on this to be consistent with their billion comps idk |
| Elysion Bring Out Your Dead | 3.0 |
| highlights are crossing over and far away. time has not worked out for these rare releases, getting ever so less impactful every release |
| Bahamadia Good Rap Music | 2.0 |
| is it tho |
| Elysion Someplace Better | 3.5 |
| its graces are a lot subtler than debut, still lies, promise, and the 3 closing tracks uplift it a great deal |
| Grave Digger Heavy Metal Breakdown | 2.5 |
| enthusiasm in abundance but no real power |
| Alexisonfire Crisis | 2.5 |
| not bad for melodic hardcore tbh. still nothing worth listening to regularly |
| Air Supply Yours Truly | 2.0 |
| slightly better overall than their previous 4 albums but nothing gripping |
| Prong Beg to Differ | 2.0 |
| prong sucks dong |
| Hatebreed Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire | 2.0 |
| an instance of thrash n core make one ugly ass baby |
| Destroyer 666 Wildfire | 4.0 |

| has all their best songs on it agreed |
| Air Supply News from Nowhere | 1.5 |
| pretty crap, even screwed up unchained melody |
| Air Supply The Vanishing Race | 1.5 |
| first half is a return to form until goodbye, then goes on with more world is bullshit |
| Smash Mouth Astro Lounge | 2.0 |
| shrek metal |
| Bond Shine | 3.0 |
| a plainer offer, still allegretto, fuego, big love adagio, and ride. their cover of the famous theme from which they borrow their moniker also sounds much better |
| Bond Play | 3.0 |
| diablo is ruined by rap synth vox for no good reason, elysium is pure win, summer and winter are well performed, west with the night is amazing |
| Shakira Oral Fixation Vol. 2 | 1.5 |
| another album where the nude is far more interesting than the music. damn |
| Ulver Messe I.X-VI.X | 2.0 |
| this is a mess alright. pseudo classical strings n burzums with religiously anointed pointless spoken vox |
| Shakira ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? | 3.0 |
| shakira got pipes |
| Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell | 2.0 |
| meat loaf is something between shameless fun and annoying as FUCK |

| YOURMOM The Escape | 2.5 |
| dunno what the fuck happened between dissent and this but the quality went way down until you get to con huevos |

| garbo vocals ruins a lot of great punktal riffs |
| YOURMOM Dissent | 3.5 |
| legit good punktal riffs n energy ignore the unworthy scrubs below |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers Mother's Milk | 2.0 |
| without a doubt they got even metal lvl skills, but its still just annoying |
| Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker Advanced Basics | 2.0 |
| ahrd electro effects could make this called industrial pop, but somehow despite all those heavy drops it still rings hollow |
| Elysion Silent Scream | 4.0 |
| dont even care, this band hits the gothic niche precisely. a metal evanescence, they combine simple rock-metal song structures with an unapologetically adolescent melancholy, and it hits the spot, just right there |
| Valediction The Primitive Architecture | 3.5 |
| amateur af mdm esp the vox but dont entirely dismiss it for that. the keys on certain tracks give them an addicting industrial motif. best tracks include title and especially nights eye |
| pizzamachine Shriller Killer | 1.5 |
| first half is cute but then what the fuck dude |
| pizzamachine HELLISH DEVICES | 2.5 |
| demonic entry is a beast n it keeps its momentum from there, rest is brrrrrrrrrrr tho |
| Journey Infinity | 1.5 |
| wheel is the only thing remotely decent on this |

| cardi b is the only woman i know that when she says pussy, something beautiful and warm and perfect, i instead think of a turd. a nasty, stinky wet turd |
| Ed Sheeran No. 6 Collaborations Project | 1.5 |
| this is pretty pointless |

| behold, iced earth! |
| Ed Sheeran = | 2.5 |

| Metal Church Metal Church | 3.0 |
| the church solely responsible for increasing sunday service attendance by 666% during the mid 80s |
| Three Days Grace Explosions | 2.5 |

| sodom continue their relentless trailblazing deathrash |
| Air Supply Hearts in Motion | 2.0 |
| a few tracks that almost get magical |

| goes on for way too long and none of their better hits |
| Rotting Christ Triarchy of The Lost Lovers | 2.0 |

| the boys go ahrd but still nothing all that good |
| KISS Hotter Than Hell | 1.5 |
| legit riffs that never actually go anywhere |
| Air Supply Now and Forever | 2.5 |
| having nights and lonely make this better than most of their albums |
| Necrophagia Season of the Dead | 3.5 |

| Sodom Get What You Deserve | 4.0 |
| relentless deathrash bashers as it should be |
| Air Supply Greatest Hits | 3.0 |
| their actual greatest hits agreed. if you only hear one air supply its this album |

| classic lofi deathrash, highlights in nuctemeron n pretenders |
| P.O.D. Snuff the Punk | 2.0 |
| they tried anyway. with some more thought it might have been feasible, its just not good |
| Stryper To Hell With the Devil | 2.0 |

| awesome track in hellbreed followed by the lacking title |

| gud raw black n rollzzzz |
| Converge Bloodmoon: I | 1.0 |
| oh how the mildly potent have fallen |
| Darkthrone Astral Fortress | 1.5 |

| Botch An Anthology of Dead Ends | 2.0 |
| lmam |
| Queen Made in Heaven | 1.0 |
| what a horrible legacy to leave |
| Air Supply Across the Concrete Sky | 1.0 |
| holy shit this was fucking boring whatever little magic they once had its fucking gone |
| Botch American Nervoso | 2.5 |
| a lot of people consider metal to be 'just noise'. on the contrary metal is harsh sound tempered and disciplined a plethora of useful forms. this on the other hand, this is just noise, the musical equivalent of children throwing a tantrum |

| mindless screamy weepy punkcore grind |

| indeed their best |

| As I Lay Dying Beneath the Encasing of Ashes | 2.0 |
| their least mccore and yet still bleh record |

| trouble writing anything memorable. save butt wigglin |

| at this point im convinced any sequence of notes they do get right is pure chance |
| Air Supply Lost in Love | 2.0 |
| some good licks and passages but fuck they never learned how to close it |
| Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare | 2.0 |
| could be worse. not as bad as certain other bands' lame attempts to incorporate theatrics |
| Gloryhammer Return to the Kingdom of Fife | 1.5 |
| sucks balls |
| Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold | 2.5 |
| a7x best album. decentish to decent ahrd rock w afterlife almost listenable. piece of heaven can go to hell |
| Avenged Sevenfold Hail to the King | 2.0 |

| Demonaz March of the Norse | 3.0 |
| immortal lite. nothing very ear wormy here |

| waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much sludge dude |
| ABBA Voyage | 1.5 |
| and then this is just sheer filler garbage |
| ABBA The Visitors | 2.0 |

| Hypocrisy The Fourth Dimension | 3.0 |
| they start getting melodic and the quality goes way down |
| ABBA Arrival | 2.5 |
| starts stronger than it finishes |
| Beherit Drawing Down the Moon | 3.0 |
| a rather plain and unspectacular bm debut |
| Beherit Engram | 4.0 |
| first half is some hawt rock n roll krallice but then turns into a completely different album (for the better?) by throwing on some black doom |
| Countess The Return of the Horned One | 3.0 |
| lofi phat bass bm with some of the most amateurish vox ever |
| Countess Banners of Blood | 4.0 |
| 2021 but this sounds like a fresh 1998 release, blackened cirith ungol with some bathory and plenty of barathrum excellent shit |
| Skyforger Senprūsija | 2.5 |
| deliberately mid af album save nothing is forgotten which is legitimately good |
| Skyforger Zobena Dziesma | 1.5 |
| some rly bad, pointless folk instrumentals |
| ABBA ABBA | 2.5 |
| abba have the weirdest ability to combine good melody n line with utter crap to the point i have a general hate for them yet cant be that mad when actually listening to their music |
| Barathrum Anno Aspera: 2003 Years After Bastard's Birth | 3.5 |
| some amazing bangers like corpse desec n sealed but not their best effort |
| Hypocrisy Osculum Obscenum | 3.5 |
| but the descent begins. stfu w those half assed screams |
| Hypocrisy Penetralia | 4.0 |
| early 90s hypocrisy man |
| Skyforger Kurbads | 3.5 |
| a weird trad metal/mdm/full on folk offering whose first 4 tracks bang ass but the rest droop to mid goods, also mediocre vox n what is that cover lmao |
| Countess The Gospel of the Horned One | 4.0 |
| simple but trv classic bm |
| Krallice Porous Resonance Abyss | 2.0 |
| varg called he wants his synths back |
| Necromantia Crossing the Fiery Path | 2.5 |
| 90s bm outtakes featuring vampires |
| Skyforger Latviešu strēlnieki | 3.0 |
| first half is rather atrocious until the only bangin track in death island, rest is mid goods with some of the worst talentless vox |
| Heidevolk Batavi | 3.5 |
| a more potent heidevolk with bangers like een nieuw and als de dood |
| Heidevolk Velua | 3.0 |
| another largely plain effort, but woede n storm stand out. bonus covers are fun |
| Heidevolk Uit Oude Grond | 3.0 |
| a disappointing follow up to walhalla, just plain folk metal nothing special |
| Barathrum Fanatiko | 4.0 |
| fuckin short but sweet ass black n roll 12 years later damn |
| Barathrum Venomous | 3.0 |
| barry's middest bum without anything super groovy |
| ABBA Waterloo | 2.5 |
| some weird ass shit mixed with some classics n generic pop rocks |
| Barathrum Saatana | 4.0 |
| barry slap ass with their signature black n roll |
| Barathrum Infernal | 3.0 |
| some good shit on this but they let it go on forever |
| Grand Belial's Key Mocking the Philanthropist | 3.0 |
| a doomier, slightly blackened arghoslent |
| Barathrum Hailstorm | 3.5 |
| the darkvst of dvbuts |
| Barathrum Eerie | 2.5 |
| weird ass album, a lot of doom n literal whining, nothing too interesting save nocturnal dance a simple but fun jam |
| Heidevolk Vuur Van Verzet | 2.5 |
| real mid crap until the end, gungnir is the best track |
| Barathrum Legions of Perkele | 4.5 |
| barathrum's best, a blackened spirited groovefest birthed as the trv successor to venom and bathory |
| Heidevolk Wederkeer | 3.5 |
| first half is amazing folky rock, second half lets it fall to forgettables |
| Heidevolk De Strijdlust Is Geboren | 3.0 |
| much more folk than metal, bookends are nice tho. bonuses are much better |
| Aaron Shust Love Made a Way | 2.5 |
| some decent effects and songwriting on this one, belong is the best n has some grip |
| Cynic Traced in Air | 1.5 |
| what is this emocore bullshit |
| Michael W. Smith Glory | 3.5 |
| an instrumental album thats basically a classical imitation elevates this far above any of his other shit |
| Cynic Focus | 3.5 |
| the best of prog metal. simply metal done in a prog style, even the quieter instrums/jazz infusions never lose their edge, nothing else matches it. robot vox add an interesting industrial lair, tho on a couple tracks their overuse changes the tone from serious to just plain silly. harsh vox, unlike on later death albums, actually match the music and arent overused. prob the best and only good prog metal album ever |
| ABBA Ring Ring | 2.0 |
| song titles sound like an affair that turned into a threesome. anyway besides title n nina nothing too standout and those themselves are more annoying than anything |
| Alice Longyu Gao High Dragon and Universe | 2.5 |
| hyper pop more like hyper slop, save kanpai which is legit fun |
| Cynic Ascension Codes | 1.5 |
| crappy prog shit with occasional good riffs utterly ruined by prog shit and that drony lazy voice. linkin park shit, undoubtedly what death would have turned into in the 21st century |
| Sirenia 1977 | 3.0 |
| pretty on par for siren, not particularly engaging |
| Ahab The Call of the Wretched Sea | 2.5 |
| first half is dece death doom but they let it go on too long without much more interesting. dat sperm tho |

| all kinds of key rifflings for any type of listener or player, fast, slow, middling, short, longer, beautiful, melancholic. ii and vi are my particular favourites |
| Andrea Bocelli Romanza | 2.0 |
| he's actually quite annoying, only partiro/time is worth anything |
| Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor | 3.5 |
| pompous and fine but doesn't quite clutch, though the tsunami of iv stands out |
| Luke Faulkner Vignette | 3.0 |
| has daydreaming and midnight waltz, nothing else too gripping |
| Ryuichi Sakamoto BTTB | 3.0 |
| you come here for opus and aqua, rest is either awkwardly lethargic or lofty but without impact |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Horn Concertos No. 1-4 K.412/417/447/495 | 3.5 |
| they are alright concertos, the horn really doesn't do much and so you're left with half-baked mozart orchestration, pleasant enough but not thoroughly so. best pieces are 412 i, classic mozart, and 495 iii |
| Frozen Crown Call of the North | 3.0 |
| mid af pm bum, there's nothing unique to them anymore, no dual singing, lame male cleans, tho the effect on her voice sounds decent and sometimes piercing. best tracks are the singles, title and victorious |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622 | 2.5 |
| squidward would love this, it's rather drab and goes on far past its worth |
| Pyotr Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 | 3.0 |
| a lot of pomp but next to no substance |
| Pyotr Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ Minor, Op. 23 | 3.5 |
| some very brilliant passages esp. across i, but it needs major editing for fluid enjoyment |
| Antonio Vivaldi Mandolin Concerto in C major, RV 425 | 4.0 |
| i is one of my most favourite classical pieces of all time, so much energy and joy. ii is this subtle, furtive shadow that grips over time, finally iii brings back a light thrush that complements i in a more playful, less assertive fashion |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5, K. 219 | 4.0 |
| a very lovely concerto, set by i, amassed in ii and perfected across a vigorous but pleasantly undulating landscape in iii |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Violin Concerto No.4 in D major, K.218 | 3.5 |
| i is the best movement of this rather middling concerto |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3, K. 216 | 3.5 |
| movement i is what you're here for, ii is rather dull and iii is good but lacking |
| Elina Garanca Meditation | 3.5 |
| lovely voice, works well done with an especial highlight in the cantique du noel |
| Ludovico Einaudi Le Onde | 2.5 |
| only title and questa notte are worthwhile piano pieces here, the rest is a great swamp of lethargic bore |

| Ex Deo The Thirteen Years of Nero | 2.0 |
| yet another waste of time putting the might of ancient rome to shame |
| Ex Deo The Immortal Wars | 2.0 |
| another very boring album save the roman |
| Ex Deo Caligvla | 2.0 |
| very boring, half the time barely anything is being strummed or beaten. still title is fun, romans, and evocatio with appropiate editing |
| Ex Deo Romulus | 3.0 |
| barebones symph with a lot of total filler riffs and relying on the inherent 'romanness' to make up for lack of metal, still title is fun, alesia, invictus, and final war are good with heavy editing, and the intrumental pantheon is prob the best developed track on the bum besides title |
| Rhapsody of Fire The Eighth Mountain | 3.0 |
| generally good bum, level of theatrics is appropriate, highlight in abyss |
| Fort Minor The Rising Tied | 3.5 |
| generally good rap n effects with remember the name being the only star |
| Luke Faulkner The Wanderer | 3.5 |
| generally sombre but wanderer and eastern winds are win |
| Nightrage Abyss Rising | 3.5 |
| this is...actually good?!?!? damn just goes to show no lindberg less problems. guy tries to imitate the scream but he cant do it bc he knows how to scream properly and the riffs are there |
| Luke Faulkner The Midnight Tide | 4.0 |
| man knows how to riff |

| Frederic Chopin Polonaises Op. 40 | 4.0 |

| Frederic Chopin Polonaises, Op. 26 | 4.0 |
| fairly excellent with a lot of tempo changes and emotional landscapes |
| Frederic Chopin Waltzes, Op. 69 | 3.0 |
| not his most exciting waltz but he was also only 19 so. 69 ;) |
| Frederic Chopin Waltzes, Op. 64 | 4.0 |

| 4 years later and its barely improved midriffs with getting punched in the gut vox. fuck your jazz bullshit |
| Eucharist I Am the Void | 4.0 |
| what a left field album, 25 years later and going almost full on modern bm. infinitely better than the crap they dished out in the 90s, a couple tracks subtly hearken to their roots (as does the title perhaps), while the tt makes use of some tasteful prog |
| Black Rose Bright Lights Burnin' | 3.0 |
| some decent trad rock metals from a band with little notoriety |
| King Diamond Fatal Portrait | 3.5 |
| the natural extension of mf, diamond with more control produces a better album, candle is win |
| King Diamond Abigail | 3.0 |
| a splurge of midriffs n squealing |

| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "Jupiter" Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551 | 3.0 |
| jupiter is relentlessly praised as one of the most famous of mozart's symphonies, but the reality is his very late works are haphazard without reason and minimally executed, the fact that they were his very last works being the only reason for their fame. likewise only movement iv of jupiter is worth any attention, and even then he had composed far, far greater works before his untimely death |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550 | 3.0 |

| Stabbing Demo 2021 | 2.5 |
| standard bdm |
| Nocturna (IT) Daughters of the Night | 3.0 |
| it's just frozen crown in more sympho style. i like the high pitched echo effect they use now and again, best tracks are new evil and title |
| Helloween Metal Jukebox | 2.0 |
| if they hadnt done it who else would have |
| Blind Guardian At the Edge of Time | 1.5 |
| just as bad as i remember it. only good part on this album is the chorus to road |
| Helloween 7 Sinners | 2.0 |
| far from their best, not single hit |
| The Halo Effect Days of the Lost | 2.5 |
| so this is supposed to be a 90s gothenburg reboot but its just a more straightforward modern dt album |
| BABYMETAL Metal Galaxy | 2.5 |
| bbmetl once again hashing up a few jams while shoehorning a ton of pop filler |
| Magnum Chase the Dragon | 3.0 |
| classic epic rock with pleasantly welcome extras. soldier, hour, n earth are win |

| Zero Degree Black Hole Illumination | 3.0 |

| apt |
| Stormlord Under the Sign of the Sword | 3.0 |
| some cute raw folk blacks |
| Sergei Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 | 3.5 |
| a bit long, but flows better than a lot of ballets. only thing worth keeping though of course is montagues & capulets |
| In Flames Foregone | 1.5 |
| this is the weirdest picasso of an album ive ever heard. dialogue #2 isnt bad |
| Foreigner Head Games | 1.5 |
| holy crap only title has any coherence whatsoever |

| regular bad modern flames + sort of metal again |
| Misthyrming Algleymi | 3.5 |
| krallice x modern behemoth, modern bm that goes pretty damn ahrd and the folksy bits arent bad either |
| Amorphis My Kantele | 2.5 |

| Foreigner Double Vision | 2.0 |
| title n hot the only almosts with a ton of filler |
| Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 | 3.5 |
| the famous first movement is all you need, the rest don't even try to touch upon it |
| Foreigner Foreigner | 2.0 |
| they get into their groove but nothing compelling |
| Bowling for Soup Let's Do It For Johnny! | 2.5 |
| they finally get a little umph into their songs |
| Edward Elgar Pomp and Circumstance Military Marches, Op. 39 | 3.0 |
| another case of only the most famous movement, i, worth keeping around |
| Pyotr Tchaikovsky The Nutcracker, Op. 71 | 3.0 |
| you know at least 5 movements off by heart, but only march iia is worth hearing with any regularity |
| Giuseppe Verdi Messa da Requiem | 2.5 |
| one really only comes here for the days of anger |
| Finsterforst Zum Tode Hin | 3.5 |
| finntroll x moonsorrow and better than both |
| Franz Schubert 4 Impromptus, D.935 | 3.0 |
| i, ii, and especially iv have their moments but quite a bit of lackadaisical filler to get to them |
| Franz Schubert 4 Impromptus, D.899 | 3.5 |
| middling excitable yet morose impromptus of which ii and the famous iv are the most gripping |
| Samuel Barber String Quartet Op. 11 | 3.5 |
| best movement overall is i, the famous adagio for strings is only win during the climax, iii pretty unnotable |
| George Frideric Handel Messiah, HWV 56 | 3.0 |
| takes a while to get into as the first 1/3 - 1/2 is quite boring, but elevates thuswards to result in the epicity that is hallelujah and the closing movements |
| Finsterforst #YØLØ | 3.0 |
| finntroll to the max, these guys are the ones who want to go out of your way to hang out with |
| Katherine Jenkins Sacred Arias | 3.0 |
| beautiful woman, nice voice, but the arrangements ruin much of these classics songs, especially hallelujah, it's played far too quickly |
| Franz Schubert Ave Maria Violin duo, Op.52 No.6, D.839 | 4.5 |
| no words |
| Falkenbach ...En Their Medh Riki Fara... | 4.0 |
| such a weird album, so hard to believe this was created in '96. straight up good black folky jams |
| Emile Waldteufel Estudiantina Waltz | 3.5 |
| on one hand generic victorian classical, on the other a trv old time banger |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068 | 3.5 |
| a largely inoffensive suite with the ouverture the best piece, air is deservedly famous though too morose, and an ending gigue that reignites the rather lackluster iii and iv movements. generic background classical for your film |
| Skalmold born loka | 3.0 |
| one of the weirdest folk bands. some basic folk strums + shouty clean vox, but also orchestra/chorus and bm arragenments here n there. nothing too great but greipnir and hel are fun |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Serenade No. 13 in G Major, K.525 | 4.0 |
| probably the most famous allegro in all music, it's as charming as it is annoying as you've heard it 1000 times before, the most famous pop song of the classical era. then a much less famous andante that is easy to the ear enough and does increase into a minor climax, a rather diminutive and forgettable allegretto, and one of mozart's strongest pieces of all time in the finale allegro, lively and to the heart with a piercing as it is frenzied climax |
| Antonio Vivaldi Concerto for 2 violins in A minor, RV 522 | 4.5 |
| a lively, exciting allegro, a dramatic and heart-rending L&S, and another blazing allegro that progresses and completes what the first began |
| Arkona (RUS) Ot Serdtsa K Nebu | 3.5 |
| not always the best folk, but when they hit it, you will dance |
| Heidevolk Walhalla Wacht | 4.0 |
| not technically a 4 bc of how simple it is, but the execution is perfect so anything less would just be wrong, top tier folk metal |
| Bowling for Soup Rock On Honorable Ones!! | 2.0 |
| i cant imagine getting up everyday just to grift with generic poppunks that all sound the same |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Sonata No.4 in E flat, K282 | 4.0 |
| adagio and menuettos are slower but worth the highlights, then he lets it go in the allegro |
| Vintersorg Till Fjälls | 3.0 |
| not a bad folk debut, singing needs improvement but very vikingy, instrums just kind of go along |
| Veilburner VLBRNR | 2.0 |
| a mess of largely poorly composed prog with death/black to try to be cool |
| Atheist Jupiter | 1.5 |
| whats the point in having any dm riffs at all when youre just going to space them with clowny shit n troll vox? |
| Sirenia Nine Destinies And A Downfall | 2.0 |
| a highly disappointing album after the masterpiece that was elixir |
| Sirenia The Enigma Of Life | 2.0 |
| the enigma of thinking anything on this was worth publishing |
| Sirenia Dim Days of Dolor | 2.0 |
| title is pure cringe, record isnt much better |
| Sirenia Arcane Astral Aeons | 2.0 |
| someones lacking for album titles. also lacking for music this is generic rubbish |
| Sylvaine Wistful | 1.5 |
| this is the worst of the blackgaze bands surely |
| Delain Lucidity | 1.5 |
| this is some of the worst symph ive ever heard |
| Boards of Canada Trans Canada Highway | 1.5 |
| very mild not very interesting lectrix |
| Boards of Canada In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country | 2.0 |
| more like bored of canada amirite? jk zoetrope is nice |
| Delain Apocalypse & Chill | 2.5 |
| i know what youre thinking, and yes everything from the cover, to the lyrics, to the music itself is very silly. but also kind of fun, esp that hook in everything o yeah |
| Xandria Fire & Ashes | 3.0 |
| mid af albums mean a mid af ep |
| Xandria Neverworld's End | 3.0 |
| another mid af album with the only real kicker in euphoria |
| Within Temptation The Silent Force | 3.5 |
| good quality trv symphies with who i am particularly justified |
| Xandria Salome - the Seventh Veil | 3.0 |
| decent symph bops with life, sisters, parts of dogs, n on my way standing out |
| Xandria The Wonders Still Awaiting | 2.0 |
| most xandria albums have at least a few bangers, this one does not, curse is the closest. vox have a layer effect over them annoying in general but esp for symph metal that relies on them so much, cant tell if she can actually sing or not |
| Delain Moth to a Flame | 3.0 |
| decent enough pop metals |
| Xandria Theater of Dimensions | 3.0 |
| another album of mild gems and pure cringe, heart is home to call of destiny are the main bangers, indeed sounding very epica like. dark night is decent, a whole bunch of filler, and then equal parts win and horrible cringe on title track |
| Bowling for Soup Bowling for Soup | 2.0 |
| good general energy but goes on for too long and nothing beyond generic poppunks |
| Xandria India | 3.0 |
| decent record with mild bangers |
| Wedrujacy Wiatr Tam, Gdzie Miesiac Oplakuje Swit | 3.0 |
| first half is typical slow krallice, picks up with wedrowiec |
| Running Wild Under Jolly Roger | 2.0 |
| this album is unadulterously a steady bleh @ 10 knots |
| Oneohtrix Point Never Replica | 3.0 |
| not bad, title is v good but album let down by the spam that is child soldier |
| Power Quest Blood Alliance | 2.0 |
| an album of keyboard laden 80s hard rock. it's not all bad, better days is pretty solid and main riff of numbers is great if you can forgive the dumb concept |
| Power Quest Sixth Dimension | 1.5 |
| bottom of the barrel pm they barely tried |
| Stormlord Supreme Art of War | 3.5 |
| its fucking rough and a little embarrassing esp the vox but still good stuff, age of the dragon is the only complete track though |
| Stormlord At the Gates of Utopia | 4.0 |
| builds upon their debut to achieve a general masterpiece |
| Green Day ¡UNO! | 1.5 |
| about as banal and inoffensive as you'd expect from a triple release |
| Agoraphobic Nosebleed Arc | 1.5 |
| theyre better at grind than they are sludge rock |
| Ariana Grande Yours Truly | 2.0 |
| def a debut with some work put into it, nothing cogent |
| Stormlord Hesperia | 3.0 |
| continues their trend of devolving streamlined symph without any highlights |
| Stormlord Mare Nostrum | 3.0 |
| they sacrifice their power and any raw trvness in this streamlined symphy theatre, with an abundance of banal extra effects that add nothing and just waste time, like pointless weak operatic vox. guitar tone is bleak, still wind scream is a standout amongst a storm of overly produced broadways |
| Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence | 1.0 |
| i swear dreampop is the worst genre. this isnt fun, sexy, or beautiful, its lethargic like someone dying from an opiate overdose |
| Running Wild Black Hand Inn | 3.0 |
| largely dece ahrd rock but occasionally sum trv metal like privateer |
| Mastodon Leviathan | 1.5 |
| mastoderp likes to derp with their derpin yells n trying to not be metal |
| Dream Theater Awake | 1.5 |
| its like they go out of their way to surround anything cool with lame ass prog n vox |
| Menage A Un Now Everybody– | 2.0 |
| its not actually that bad, good bm parts n dece vox, wish they made it more coherent to get an trv punky bm thing going but alas |
| Twilight Force At the Heart of Wintervale | 3.0 |
| their weakest effort by far, getting bored and running out of ideas. band track isnt nearly as explosive as one would hope, everything else just kind of barely scrapes epicity. not nearly as complex or overwhelming as their other albums, taking a slower, more fillery route. crystal bearer is the worst for that. still generally fun, both knight tracks are easily the best/most traditional twilight force |
| Stormlord Far | 3.5 |
| a pleasant surprise after the droning theatres of their last couple albums, the songwriting is tight and the symph elements know their place, a lot of classic bm with modern production |
| Stormlord The Curse of Medusa | 3.5 |
| some great rough versions leading up to utopia |
| Warkvlt Unleash the Beasts of War | 2.5 |
| grind length typical dm songs, cool cover tho |
| Stratovarius Twilight Time | 2.0 |
| another rather poor album despite the talent inherent |
| Satanic Warmaster Fimbulwinter | 3.0 |
| largely plain pizza black with some vargs at the end for good measure |
| Green Day iTRE! | 2.0 |
| even MOAR below avg mids to make u spend more of dat green eh, more sappy than the others tho |
| Green Day Kerplunk | 2.5 |
| raw pop punks with nothing special |
| Green Day Insomniac | 2.5 |
| nothing special at all about this one |
| Green Day Nimrod | 3.0 |
| solid and energetic album, but no trv bangers |
| Green Day Warning | 2.5 |
| one final bleh album before their masterpiece |
| Starfield Starfield | 2.0 |
| has some good vibes n a trv punk rocker in revolution but ultimately too long and soft |
| Allegaeon Damnum | 1.5 |
| scenecore trying to be cool |
| Forest Stream The Crown of Winter | 3.0 |
| could have been pretty excellent, title track is a masterpiece and the key tone throughout the album is pure magic when its used. unfortunately they otherwise only yield a moderate effort and soon devolve into total doomy somnolence |
| Dream Theater Octavarium | 1.5 |
| some decent classic metal elements fused with lame prog and random instrumentation, terrible vox ruin anything good |
| Wilderun Olden Tales and Deathly Trails | 1.5 |
| nothing but rehashings of the worst parts of folk/mdm, the palpably mediocre siffy worship is cringe af |
| CHVRCHES The Bones of What You Believe | 1.5 |
| would have sounded a lot better voxless, the little girl vox are just annoying. science/visions is almost good |
| Finntroll Vredesvävd | 3.0 |
| srry is this kalmah? straightforward folky tunes with a big mdm vibe, nothing too special save the keys clinching on vid haxans |
| Atheist Elements | 1.5 |
| this is so bad dude its not even dm anymore |
| Turisas The Varangian Way | 2.5 |
| alestorm but with moderate effort |
| Heljareyga Heljareyga | 2.0 |
| tyr 2.0. why tho |
| Ariana Grande My Everything | 2.5 |
| actually somewhat impressed. production is excellent, flow is good, guest artists are losers and completely ruin their respective tracks, but be my baby is a real song, surely her best |
| Ariana Grande Sweetener | 1.0 |
| now this is absolute shit. no, youre not convincing me that god is a woman with those forced stripper moves, youd be lucky for a case of blue balls. also pete davidson really? ew |
| Ariana Grande Thank U, Next | 1.0 |
| more like no thanks, store's closed |
| Suffocation Effigy of the Forgotten | 2.5 |
| nothing great on suffy's debut |
| Ankhara Sombras del Pasado | 2.5 |
| theres no denying that this band sucks, some of the worst pm ever made. however they are earnest, and certainly put the most effort they ever have onto this bum. and thus a well earned 2.5 for their excellent use of classic rock keys n strums |
| Autechre Amber | 2.5 |
| decent lectro asmr with some harder pangs but always smooth |
| Ankhara Sinergía | 2.0 |
| once again some simple unoffensive just some friends having fun pm |
| Power Quest Wings of Forever | 3.5 |
| power quest is win, tracks 1-4 go ahrd n the rest carry it thru |
| Sodom Agent Orange | 3.5 |
| classic german thrash |
| Running Wild Port Royal | 2.5 |
| decent trad/pm but nothing all that great |
| Alestorm Captain Morgan's Revenge | 3.0 |
| their roughest but also most creative effort, they sound like an actual band here if only bowes voice wasnt just basically a guy talking. good moments on every track with wenches n mead the most coherent |
| Primordial Spirit the Earth Aflame | 2.5 |
| just kind of plain proggy bm, nothing that great |
| Rrose Merchant of Salt | 2.5 |
| lectrix n chill |

| look at all these poseurs. yea its not that great and the screams are silly af but the guitar tone is classic |
| Power Quest Neverworld | 3.5 |
| moar solid pms with highlight in title |
| Wedrujacy Wiatr O Turniach, Jeziorach I Nocnych Szlakach | 2.5 |
| rly nothing beyond avg blackgaze, the tremz only about 5 inches long |
| Ariana Grande positions | 1.5 |
| not quite as vapid as the last 2 albums, but like, do you not have anything else going on in your life besides getting dick? is it so bad just writing a song about how pretty the sky is today or sthg? |
| Walknut Graveforests And Their Shadows | 3.5 |
| its pretty good, that rhythm on ostenvagr tho |

| damn their 2nd ep better than anything on their albums |

| Rexoria Ice Breaker | 2.0 |
| crappy female fronted pm |
| Green Day iDOS! | 2.0 |
| like uno but slightly better |
| Demi Lovato Unbroken | 2.0 |
| first half is utter dogshit with that crap rap pop princess pretending to be a badass but picks up into typical princess pop by title |
| Fellowship The Saberlight Chronicles | 3.5 |
| rly tows the line between great and plain, but enough here to solidify a jello-y 3.5, glory days is bomb though |
| Demi Lovato Don't Forget | 2.5 |
| great energy in the first half but it dies out |
| Ahab The Coral Tombs | 2.5 |
| sea desert is great but overall too doomy |
| Manegarm Nordstjärnans Tidsålder | 3.5 |
| amateur production n instrumentation make this a brash but still worthwhile listen |
| Esoctrilihum Mystic Echo From a Funeral Dimension | 3.0 |
| would you like some prog with your pizza? |
| Caroline Polachek Pang | 2.0 |
| title is fun n sexy but album devolves into typical boring ass dream pop half way thru |
| Gloryhammer Tales from the Kingdom of Fife | 2.0 |
| yeah they dont bother going beyond whats reqd to call sthg a pm album |
| Pink M!ssundaztood | 2.0 |
| some rly lethargic bullshit among her more popular hits |
| Kelly Clarkson My December | 3.0 |
| solid pop rocks almost evanescency, esp haunted |
| Kesha Rainbow | 1.5 |
| she seems earnest and it has an unusual variety for a pop album, its just not that good |
| Ankhara II | 1.5 |
| its like theyre going for the record for worst pm career oat |
| Theatres Des Vampires Moonlight Waltz | 2.5 |
| those who admire the magic of symph but are unable to create it themselves |

| Einherjer Odin Owns Ye All | 2.5 |
| 3rd rate bathory that gets slightly better in the 2nd half |

| Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind | 2.0 |
| another slipnut bum with a couple almosts and a ton of blehs |
| Galneryus Under the Force of Courage | 4.0 |
| excellent anime metal overall, tho the random haphazard proggy bits slow it down and the latter half of the album doesnt quite clinch despite quality, raise my sword and voice of grievous cry are the trv winners on this bum |

| now this is just sad, bad, makes me kinda mad |
| Beyond The Black Songs Of Love And Death | 2.0 |

| Falconer Black Moon Rising | 3.5 |

| Hellhammer Triumph Of Death | 3.0 |

| a grungier version of venom with a darker tuning, hellhammer shouldve been a longer lasting project |
| Dark Funeral We Are the Apocalypse | 3.5 |
| nightfall is a fun black n roll track while leviathan and title are solid jams, rest is inoffensive standard dark funeral |
| Venom In League with Satan | 4.5 |
| an amazing collection of the best from venom's first 4 albums, hilarious tv and radio ads, and bonus non-album singles. a one stop shop for all things trv VENOM |
| Ethel Cain Preacher's Daughter | 1.0 |
| whatever genre this is is the worst genre |
| Pillar Where Do We Go from Here | 2.0 |
| frontline is the only track to bother with here |
| Frozen Crown Winterbane | 3.0 |
| duo vox are minimal again but mondelli sort of knows how to scream now, but what makes this album superior to its immediate predecessor is the recruitment of cutie queen sheena on lead guitar as well as a new more bombastic drummer |
| Frozen Crown Crowned in Frost | 3.0 |
| a disappointing sophy, the harmonized duo vox arent used nearly as much and when they are the male vox are so overshadowed the effect is virtually powerless, a lot less 'core vox, for w/e reason a few random harsh lines exist on a couple tracks and are even more needless. standard pm basically |
| Moonspell Wolfheart | 3.0 |
| a lot of awkward vox, but good instrumentation even if it doesnt always flow together, trebaruna is a jam |
| Regurgitation Tales of Necrophilia | 3.0 |
| gets rly close to corpse worship but is also better than any corpse so |
| Enslaved Nema | 2.5 |
| rather bad quality and boring in the first half but picks up in the 2nd |

| this actually rocks more than a little bit. everything is the only track worth repeats tho |

| sounds like a pretty good live show |
| Accept Rich & Famous | 2.5 |

| this non-rap crap is the musical equivalent of turning on the tv to watch just the commercials trv 1 |
| Tyr Valkyrja | 2.5 |
| a weird total balance of good and bad. for every rising melody there is a crashing standstill, for every decent chorus they fuck up the rest of the track. vox are love-hate, no solid tracks here but moments exist |
| Finntroll Blodsvept | 4.0 |
| finntroll lay out a masterful album. still ironically title track is the only one i like listening to |
| Venom Prison Erebos | 2.0 |
| isnt that bad for decore. angelo gossow vox are a nice addition, and its as though they understand their total lack of talent but try anyway |
| Arkona (RUS) Goi, Rode, Goi! | 3.5 |
| has the finntroll issue of being generally good but not outstanding, as well as just kind of plain slavic arrangement |

| Finntroll Nifelvind | 3.5 |
| another solid folk met album, but nothing gripping this time |

| Watain Casus Luciferi | 3.5 |
| dissection if dissection kept along the main bm route |
| Watain Black Metal Sacrifice | 3.5 |
| kvlt n trv bm, even if the drums sound like someone slapping buttcheeks |
| Pathfinder Beyond the Space, Beyond the Time | 4.0 |
| a chaotic eclipse of every pm convention bent, twisted and thrown out every which way. it often gets in its own way as a result but has too many awesome moments to discount it much |
| Pathfinder Fifth Element | 3.5 |
| they definitely push the boundaries of pm as far as they can without breaking it. works in some places, not in others. the day is the best track, otherwise pretty standard/ruined by prog/dumb shit to try to stand out |
| Rhapsody of Fire Rain of a Thousand Flames | 3.5 |
| best rhapsody overall to this point, queen rules, the 2 min actual instrum part of angel rules, elnors magic valley lennyface, poem minus the dialogue rulz too |
| Rhapsody of Fire Dawn of Victory | 3.0 |
| their third album is pure generic rhapsody before attaining fire |
| Rhapsody of Fire Symphony of Enchanted Lands | 3.0 |

| Mayhem Life Eternal | 3.5 |
| 5 roughmixes from the recording of de mysteriis when attila was adding vocals, they rly emphasize how attila is the worst bm vocalist oat, fortunately the trv inlaid into the core of these songs by euronymous will always be dominant and funeral fog still has its original hellhammer intro |
| Gosia Andrzejewicz Lustro | 3.0 |
| intro n/a; title amazing track with genuine pathos 5; ty decy dumb slow rap track 2; troche subtle but has a big impact 3.5; sila total party feel good track 4; piekno almost good 2.5; latino dumb filler track she doesnt sound so good in english, spanish is kind of hot 2; blisko shes always inviting these crappy rappers for some reason 2; refleksje slow almost filler track 2; zlo rocker track different from her usual style 3.5; zanim a slower song with some impact but not a ton 2.5 |

| fun enough rock songs but nothing that rly bangs |
| Bob Marley and The Wailers Exodus | 2.0 |
| a few tracks of reggae is ok, a whole album is bleh |
| Europe The Final Countdown | 3.0 |
| classic hair rock with the eternally addictive and prescient title track |
| Entombed Serpent Saints: The Ten Amendments | 3.0 |
| a final render of some decent death n roll, highlights in title n sodom |
| Entombed Inferno | 2.0 |
| another poor collection of thrash rocks |
| Entombed Morning Star | 2.0 |
| rocky thrash that isnt entirely unappealling |
| Carach Angren Lammendam | 3.0 |
| certainly the most metallic of their efforts, with bm heaviness being matched evenly to symph elements. still its only decent and only a few moments here and there rly stand out. strange presence is the best of it |
| Stabbing Extirpated Mortal Process | 2.5 |
| basic bdm |
| Carach Angren Where the Corpses Sink Forever | 2.0 |
| very silly, lame clearly enunciated shouts, basic bitch symph arrangements, stale guitar other than the bm tropes thrown in to technically make it 'bm'. starts good with the intro and most of lingering is good, but just turns to total black n symph parody afterwards. stories somewhat dark but dont rly have any impact bc the narration is just as lame as the music |
| Billy Talent Afraid of Heights | 2.0 |
| their worst most generic boring album for sure. the infection of songs with a few good chords but mired in total filler is the worst yet, with the crutch being only mostly complete song. some fun synth work on horses n chariots but doesnt save it |
| Billy Talent Billy Talent III | 3.0 |
| devil 3; rain 3; veronika 3.5 punky poignancy; wine 2.5 could have been good but too many awkward lines bring it down a lot; sparrows been procrastinating this album because of this song ffs 4; dreams 2.5 another let downer that should have been good but fails this time bc of just not having the overall riffs; dead good baseline but thats about it still somehow scrapes 2.5; diamond it shouldnt be more than an overall 3 but the chorus hits just right so 3.5; turn total filler track 2; movements even worse filler song 1.5; destiny a final one of those almost good tracks that has a good hook surrended by a whole lot of filler 2.5 |
| Entombed Uprising | 3.0 |
| entombed are a weird ass band. an album of decegood metrock with some hardcore elements here n there and panty grooves |
| Entombed Same Difference | 1.0 |

| Entombed Wolverine Blues | 2.0 |
| no longer dm just minimal effort bamming n shouting |

| debut drudkh best drudkh, drum rhythm used in dawn n wheel hypnotizing, but still too much filler between the goodness |
| Drudkh Handful of Stars | 2.5 |
| a bit more magical than last few releases with a highlight in cholodni krayevidi but ultimately plain drudkh |
| Tenebrarum Alta Magia | 4.0 |
| trvly magical osdm with synths that equate in just the right way to the brutality when theyre used, along with some atmospherically spoopy intrums that arent rly that good but add sthg not in any other dm. only problem is the vox sounds like he's swallowing the mike to make himself sound bigger in place of more powerful growls n gets dangerously nespithey at times |
| Drudkh Microcosmos | 2.5 |
| a veritably drony drudkh not achieving more than the basic bm accredits |
| Drudkh Estrangement | 3.0 |
| more of the same drudkh scoring decently enough but not going for anything standout |
| Lady Gaga The Fame | 2.5 |

| Papa Roach Infest | 2.0 |

| Chuck Berry After School Session | 3.0 |
| simple jiggy riffs tied to the win that is boogie piano create a subtlely seducing half hour lennyface |
| Holy Blood Shining Sun | 2.5 |
| more of a straight up folk effort. the flutes on here at points get unbearably obnoxiously annoying and the song writing is much poorer. still my fate and title shine as trv tracks |
| Nokturnal Mortum Verity | 2.0 |
| an absolute parody of what they used to be, save lira |
| Nokturnal Mortum Weltanschauung | 2.0 |

| title is almost good, zombie girl stinks |

| great black folk, intense at times, flute can get annoying, closer title is epic as can be |

| Rachel Leeder The Good Headspace | 2.0 |
| simple acoustic efforts that sound decent bc they are simple acoustic efforts |

| balance of good/boring tracks, tt+fingerprints go ahrd, but kissed is one of the worst compositions ever and needs to die. PENIS |
| Burzum Umskiptar | 3.0 |
| a denser and more ante prison kind of epic journey than fallen yet unlike the previous two doesnt seem to go anywhere, and way too much talking on the journey |
| Burzum Belus | 4.0 |
| while not reaching the heights of his original kvlt releases, varg brings the cathartic darkness of burzum into the 21st millenium as he himself sees the light of day once again |
| Burzum Hlidskjalf | 2.5 |
| a lute playing troubadour walking through a crystal cave |
| Burzum Daudi Baldrs | 3.5 |
| and thus dungeon synth was born!! using their ultra-super powers, varg, the norwegian justice system, and diablo nerds everywhere created the ultimate medieval inspired genre that no medieval listener would ever recognize and instead burn varg at the stake for even suggesting it while forgiving him of such a common sin as murder! highlight in moti ragnarokum |
| Burzum Det Som Engang Var | 3.0 |
| a baby eagle just learning how to squawk amongst basic bm riffs and the beginnings of dungeon synth |

| more annoying than fun, sounds like it came out 20 years before it did |
| Bathory Katalog | 4.5 |
| i swear some people have no idea what a compilation album is, and this one is very special at that, originally meant as a promotional sampler not for commercial release but later pressed for the public, this album features a champion from each of bathory's ten LPs to this date, and hearing black mark's/quorthon's personal picks to show in business deals is an intimate glimpse into the background operation of an extreme metal record company |
| Extol Synergy | 1.0 |
| one of the worst albums of all time |

| better than the swift album anyway |
| Grateful Dead Anthem of the Sun | 1.5 |
| typical hippie fare no substance besides lsd |
| Bathory Jubileum Volume III | 4.0 |
| a heavy requiem and octagon compilation (which rule) with an early unpolished track in satan my master and a clear transition from the satanic black metal themes to viking metal in nomine satanas, using satan lyrics but with the backtrack to what would become bond of blood/twilight of the gods title, resolution greed is a mid tempo thrash leftover from the requiem/octagon era, witchcraft is a crusty blackened thrash track from self titled era, valhalla backvoc/multitrack sample is exactly what it says, genocide is another great previously unreleased mid tempo req/oct type track, and a few great tracks from blood on ice |
| Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman | 2.0 |

| Voivod Nothingface | 1.5 |
| knows followed by a whole bunch of droning butt rock |
| Bathory Jubileum Volume I | 4.0 |
| a new epic instrumental + 3 venomy thrash tracks, sacrifice having been on the first scandinavian metal attack split and you dont move me being one of bathory's earliest recordings from 1983, then a selection of some of bathory's finest distinguishing the atmosphere of all previous releases |

| Aaron Shust Anything Worth Saying | 2.0 |
| there's worse ccm. give it all is pretty good n my savior isnt bad either |
| Aerosmith Rock in a Hard Place | 1.5 |
| starts promising but soon devolves into the pebble fest of their typical output |
| Every Little Thing Many Pieces | 2.5 |
| grip is the best anime song ever, n ambivalence isnt bad |
| Maximum the Hormone Bu-ikikaesu | 2.0 |
| rly just has the spinny spin death chair song |
| BABYMETAL BABYMETAL | 2.0 |
| first half until akatsuki is quite fun, n akatsuki itself i love, but then its creators forget theyre supposed to be making a metal album and just go full anime j pop. would also be a lot better if they got an actual singer instead of some teen dreams with avg vocals |
| Aerosmith Night in the Ruts | 1.0 |
| absolute shit just a bunch of blues ragging |
| Aerosmith Draw the Line | 2.5 |
| another actually decent rockin smiff who knew |

| utter crap except broken wings no wonder they broke up before this was even released |
| Flyleaf Memento Mori | 3.5 |
| a trv rock album. heavy production much improves quality tho it takes away from her voice unlike debut. but on a lot of tracks it works, finding stride in missing and not rly letting up too much afterwards. also get charged with kind, n then the banger trinity of treasure, circle, n arise. no idea wtf that cover is tho |

| Impending Doom The Serpent Servant | 3.0 |
| this is the only time i'll be giving a derpcore album a 3. they take the generally worthless dcore sound n manage to do sthg with it most of the time. first half is p solid, anything goes n conquerors are fun. get a bunch of stupid crap after that tho, an appealing riff or breakdown here n there. vox are almost dm furthering the generally better quality than ur whitechapel shit, n they keep the spooky atmosphere as on debut, tho a lot of lyrics about as reeted as it gets |
| Impending Doom Nailed. Dead. Risen. | 3.5 |
| how they went from bdm to derpincore no idea. awesome cover, legit tunes n ghastliness |
| Evanescence Synthesis | 2.0 |
| pretty pointless except for a much improved version of immortal |
| Impending Doom There Will Be Violence | 1.5 |
| hell, title, n fear hold a degree of fun, but the rest is some of the absolute worst shit ive ever heard. most atrocious of all is the full on mccore vox instead of the respectably dmy roar on last record, n gee i wonder where he learned that from? tim attempted wife murderin lambesis ofc, casually producing this album n inserting himself on a track |

| Bryan Adams Bryan Adams | 2.0 |
| not that bad, your typical 70s/80s pop rocks, some good piano lines |
| Biffy Clyro The Vertigo of Bliss | 2.0 |

| Volbeat Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie | 2.5 |
| their best album since debut, devil n title are good while black rose boasts the best chorus theyve written, bonus for evigt significantly better than english bliss n one of their best songs as well |
| Volbeat Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies | 1.5 |
| has fuck all but lola montez is a 4.5 |

| Katatonia Viva Emptiness | 1.5 |
| katatonia and every band like it suck butt |

| standard accept album in the 21st century |
| Accept The Rise of Chaos | 1.5 |
| koolaid. really |
| Defacing God The Resurrection of Lilith | 2.5 |
| basically a symphonic bdm which unfortunately means a lot of mccore influence but its not all bad |
| The Chicks Wide Open Spaces | 2.0 |
| so what they changed their name despite all their albums having it just bc u say dicks? lmao anyway some good choruses but its mostly bleh, id certainly like to explore the wide open space of the one in the back |
| Thomas Rhett Life Changes | 1.5 |
| eh typical country pop bops. weird how this has no attention craving u has been playing nonstop here for years |
| City and Colour Little Hell | 1.5 |

| Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion | 2.0 |
| rly impressed with the production esp in the first half with the more layered tracks, but momentum doesnt keep up n the latter tracks are entirely bleh, nothing too compelling overall |
| Summoning Lugburz | 3.0 |
| rly shoddy production makes the album generally weak despite good synths n riffs n shrieks |
| Nina Nesbitt Peroxide | 2.0 |
| imagine being sad over ed sheeran. anyway she actually has quite a lovely voice just nothing holds u in much except hold u (the solo version the duet version sucks). back for more also features an awesome climax |
| Accept Accept | 2.0 |
| badly produced rock by some young tryhards, all energy without talent |
| Hozier Hozier | 2.5 |
| when hozier hits it like on church n work he hits it but otherwise bleh |
| The Black Keys El Camino | 1.5 |
| everyone remember when all u could hear in 2011-12 was what a lonely boy these losers are? other than a few portions on that n submarine this is filled with overdone hippie shit |
| Accept Too Mean to Die | 2.0 |
| this is the mighty profit snek, luring u in to take ur moneyz in the false hope there might be sthg worthwhile on this rock album |
| Accept Objection Overruled | 2.5 |
| yet another mid rock album just accept it, dat solo on this one tho |

| xtc n prisoner followed by some of the most atrociously plagiarized pop rocks, n wtf put udo back on vox rn |
| Accept Russian Roulette | 2.5 |
| another mid rock album with no highlights except almost man enough but then wtf way to ruin it with the lyrics |
| Epica The Classical Conspiracy | 4.0 |

| Arghoslent Galloping Through the Battle Ruins | 3.0 |
| first half is mid af but picks up to be good mdm by the end |
| The Notorious B.I.G. Life After Death | 2.0 |
| biggie got some great beats but it just doesnt continue for 2 hrs and everything blends together |
| Brymir Wings of Fire | 3.5 |
| symph and bm elements are great most of the time, mdm is basic but works, but when they get in a tight spot they resort to fuckin mccore riffs and vox, taking this down a lot. weak vox in general are a problem for this band. u ppl have no idea what ur listening to lmao |
| Astarte Doomed Dark Years | 3.5 |
| excellent old style bm forged by 3 greek goddesses, empress of the shadow land slays |
| Brymir Slayer of Gods | 3.0 |
| for those who died followed by a bunch of mid symph/black/mdm with atrocious vox |
| Astarte Demonized | 3.0 |
| a lighthearted approach to bm that uses a lot of trad riffs as well as melodies, but often awkwardly composed and sounding puerile. still a charming album with a lot of good moments |
| Accept Restless and Wild | 2.5 |
| decently rocky but goes on for too long and no standouts except perhaps princess but even then its too weak |
| The Gathering Almost a Dance | 2.0 |
| good instrumentation but the male vox are so damn mediocre its like stfu n let martine sing |
| The Devil Wears Prada Color Decay | 1.0 |
| typical emocore with the very rare decent sounding section |
| Brymir Voices in the Sky | 2.5 |
| siffy sounds horrible with alissa white gluz vox, still highlight in seeds of downfall |
| Brymir Breathe Fire to the Sun | 3.5 |
| basically a more coordinated siffy album |
| Amorphis Queen of Time | 2.5 |
| mid morphis, lol @ the sax, highlight in mongst stars |

| rly boring n lazy dm by the vader |

| Nightwish HUMAN. :II: NATURE. | 3.0 |
| rly just have noise and then a bunch of below avg-goodish tracks and instrumentals |
| Nightwish Imaginaerum | 1.5 |
| An old man gets naked and kisses a model doll in his attic. It's half-light and he's in tears. When he finally comes his eyes are cascading |

| not bad, nothing compulsive |
| Deafheaven Infinite Granite | 1.0 |
| congratz u've achieved peak postmetal: 70s stoner rock. ugh fukkin mombasa doesnt save u gtfo 1'd |
| Deafheaven Ordinary Corrupt Human Love | 2.0 |
| as is typical with these kinds of bands they get less and less heavy putting out random 'atmospheric' shit and everyone goes whoa thats deep bro. the ironic thing about post metal is its actually a regression to premetal days, this album belongs more in the 60s than anything afterwards. actual bm parts are generic save a good rendition in the first half of honeycomb |
| Behemoth Thy Becoming Eternal | 2.0 |
| its official bois, moth have gone the way of the dimmy |
| Amorphis Under the Red Cloud | 2.0 |
| the usual 3 good tracks per album are death, the amazing dark path, and tree of ages, but theyre mired in a whole lot of below avg suck unfortunately |
| Nightwish Endless Forms Most Beautiful | 3.0 |
| starts horribly boring but then u have elan and hope, title, the sheer win that is alpenglow, and bits of show but tuomas stfu with ur bullshit philosophy no one cares. rest is utter garbage. dont listen to the instrums they show just how empty the instrumentation actually is |
| Helloween Master of the Rings | 2.0 |
| rly poorly laid out pm save gentleman and some avg tracks, gets too rock ballady |
| The Who Who's Next | 2.0 |
| baba is a 4 track nothing else is worth listening to dont get fooled makes me want to die trv rating 1.5 |
| Alcest Écailles De Lune | 2.5 |

| not a single highlight on this wtf. clearly bored n tired |
| Nostalgia Critic The Wall | 1.0 |
| yeah dumb except spongebob |
| Ensiferum One Man Army | 2.5 |
| axe of judgement is the only decent/good track. and then just filler, all filler, nothing but le filler until maiden of the north raising it to 2.5 just for that. bonus warmetal not bad |
| Ensiferum Two Paths | 2.0 |
| metal, warrior n valkyries are mid-good but then they just drop the ball completely to finish this zoop album |
| Alestorm Back Through Time | 2.5 |
| actually impressed with some trv metal bits on this on title and terrorsquid, the power of outsource money bb. still shipwrecked and rum are the only tracks to rly bother with, the rest are about as momentary as the thousands of tiktoks you've watched |
| Helloween Straight Out of Hell | 3.5 |
| world of war is one of the best hellow songs, also have naba, stars, burning, thunder, asshole is lolz, and years, rest mid good |
| Deafheaven Roads to Judah | 3.5 |
| violet and first half of tunnel are excellent, middle two tracks leave something to be desired |
| Bolt Thrower Those Once Loyal | 3.5 |
| first half incorporates some modern elements and works great, second half straight dm that actually has effort put into it, best record since debut way to finish strong |
| Bolt Thrower Mercenary | 3.0 |
| mid-good grungy dm highlight in no guts n glory |
| Helloween Helloween | 3.5 |
| lots of hits and misses, first 3 tracks are solid, then down in the dumps is prob the goa despite the dumb name, a lot of good shit in skyfall |
| Arghoslent Incorrigible Bigotry | 3.0 |
| mid to good mdm with poor epics |
| Bolt Thrower In Battle There Is No Law! | 4.0 |
| bolt thrower's only pure win album but what a win m/ |
| Helloween Unarmed | 2.5 |
| acoustic/symphonic rerecordings of some of their hits, works on some better than others |
| Helloween Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II | 3.0 |
| markedly better than part i with a highlight in eagle |
| Helloween Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I | 2.0 |
| pretty exhaustingly bad |
| Helloween Better Than Raw | 2.5 |
| how tf did they go from the excellence of first 3 tricks to utter mediocrity afterwards |
| Helloween Walls of Jericho | 3.0 |
| they hadnt quite found the pm magic yet except on tears |

| Moonsorrow Viides luku - Hävitetty | 3.0 |
| a blackened sommy with little of their magic |
| Eternal Tears of Sorrow Chaotic Beauty | 3.5 |
| autumns grief and seventh eclipse are masterpieces, rest is mid to good kalmah-cof mdm |
| The Callous Daoboys Celebrity Therapist | 2.5 |
| i like the screamy bits and the bambam drums. u can toss the rest |
| Alestorm Sunset on the Golden Age | 3.5 |
| its dumb, its silly, its also pure fun. the boys rly went out of their way outsourcing ppl much more talented than them to make sthg worth listening to, and it worked. chris's vox still suck and its too bad they didnt replace him/get singing lessons except for the tao cover (which is pure win) but the whole album is honestly a good time obliterating any shits given about its ridiculousness |
| Bolt Thrower ...For Victory | 2.5 |
| bt being mid af once again |
| Amorphis Silent Waters | 3.0 |
| incantation, servant, and title are all top tier tracks, but then it slows its momentum to a near halt with track after track of clear voxed simplicities |
| Becoming The Archetype Dichotomy | 1.5 |
| i remember seeing this shit praised to high heaven back in the day. they do get half a point for not having as much mccore, but its still mccore pretending not to be mccore and randomly adding some dm riffs (prob took them a century to learn them) and random violin or piano bits just make it incongruous af |
| Bolt Thrower The IVth Crusade | 2.0 |
| consistently below avg to mid dm with nothing much else to say |
| Venom Skeletons in the Closet | 3.5 |
| a collection of some of venoms best tracks remixed, unreleased tracks that are pure win esp bitch witch, aural memorabilia, and a few of those so early trv demos. the voiceovers for their tours, commercials (wtf?), and the radio ad are hilarious (also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fzpWF6UKBs&ab_channel=ScreamBloodyGwar). but what stands out most of all is a beautifully redone version of BLACK METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |
| Becoming The Archetype Terminate Damnation | 1.0 |
| shitty shitty mccore pretending not to be shitty shitty mccore. an absolute disgrace to its namesake. if it didnt go on for so long i would have given it at least a 1.5 but no |
| Bolt Thrower Realm of Chaos | 3.0 |
| buncha avg to mid good dm |
| Ensiferum From Afar | 2.5 |
| petri era siffy goes over the top with bombastic synth effects and forget theyre a band not a b fantasy film company. still title is tolerable, tavern is classic siffy fun, and ruins is a trv gem like wanderer. but then u have long ass bores like the interlude in stone cold (otherwise quite good) and the pointless heathen throne doublet |
| Ensiferum Unsung Heroes | 2.5 |
| a lot better than i remember. the suck is still suck but burning leaves, retribution, and pohjola bring it up big time |
| Alestorm Black Sails at Midnight | 2.5 |
| most of the fun of this is ruined by bowes absolutely talentless voice, keelhauled is solid tho |
| Blind Guardian The God Machine | 1.0 |
| a few good riffs here n there but overall the same shit i cant stand hansi he ruins everything |
| Epica Consign to Oblivion | 2.5 |
| the midest epica ever, like they were so surprised phantom agony worked out they just hashed this together. nothing is horribly bad, but nothing truly epic either, but a highlight in quietus with most of black inf n title pretty good |
| Epica Requiem for the Indifferent | 2.0 |
| holy shit do they hold the carrot out on this one. decentish monopoly followed by impactful star storm the sorrow, but then nothing but pure filler until deter! that and avalanche are mostly good, great soprano vox in latter, but then i heard the actual serenade for the first time, and its a disappointment. i have the glitched cd version thats mostly instrumental and find it far more dramatically superior, a five star track. somehow simones vox actually deplete it and so i cant even give the actual album a 2.5, cd version of twin flames is also a win |
| Epica The Holographic Principle | 2.0 |
| easily their worst record, really flat with only a few fun choruses |
| Epica We Will Take You With Us | 2.5 |
| pretty much just poorer recordings of their debut, save a highlight in a simonized memory. sexy come hither tho |

| Atrocity Todessehnsucht | 2.0 |
| shitty shitty progshit except here n there n archangel |

| Dissection Into Infinite Obscurity | 2.5 |
| more blacky n diss style but not quite up there until somberlain demo |
| Dissection The Grief Prophecy | 2.0 |
| dissection used to be a generic burp metal band. explains the name, glad they changed tune literally |
| Nile Worship the Animal (1994 the Lost Recordings) | 2.0 |

| better versions of some of their earliest songs |
| Rippikoulu Ulvaja | 3.0 |

| another weaker concerto with highlights in iii |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048 | 4.0 |

| Venom Tear Your Soul Apart | 3.0 |

| a lesser track in title from rock n roll, a lackluster ep locked epic in just cos, and another ep only avg track in cradle |
| Motorhead Stand by Your Man | 3.0 |
| wendy's screechy screams combined with mhead's style give title a raving intensity while no class is a spike through the eardrums, meanwhile masterplan mhead'd sounds vastly superior |

| pretty balls ep starting dece then going to the ground |

| marginally more tolerable than all his previous crap |
| Coroner Death Cult (demo) | 3.0 |
| not bad techthrash about the same quality as debut |
| Amon Amarth Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds | 3.0 |
| good amon ep leading into their debut |

| Amon Amarth Thor Arise | 2.0 |

| Norther No Way Back | 3.0 |
| solid ep by the north |

| Billy Talent Billy Talent II | 3.5 |
fuck u davezilla that is pure canadian-polish accent vox that must be preserved for all
eternity, and ian d'sa is a god; devil 3.5 fun fact went to school with the kid in the music vid
(he's a dwarf) also did a weird al version of this called my left eye without the glass referring
to losing a contact and thus having difficulty coordinating, demo version of this sounds
interesting; red flag 4 loved the song so much in elementary omg never reconnected until hs;
suffering 3.5 another addictive track; worker bees 3 this is the weirdest and most awkward track
theyve ever written when i listened to the full actual album the first time i was like wtf is this
cuz every other track would get played everywhere all the time, regardless still has a strong
chorus like everything they did back then and always wins me over by the end despite my initial
reaction to wanting to delete it but then dat chor comes in and im like omg; pins and needles 3.5
as trv and full of pathos as can be over a breakup/romantic failure; fallen leaves ive listened to
this shit too much for it to make the trv impact it once did but realistically a 4; line 3 better
written than bees yet too simple, just kind of romps on but good message n d'sa carries it more
than ben does; cowardice 2.5 filler track tho it contains ben's best and most believable screams;
surrender 5 love this song so much, the melody, the d'sa back vox, the desperation, the pathos,
the irony of wanting her to surrender then eventually surrendering himself, somehow tragic despite
nothing actually happening, the double irony of it being so cringe in concept yet so amazing in
execution, basically perfect song; navy song 4 another of their best songs, fun but hard and full
of pathos, d'sa again taking such a strong lead to make it work, the entire track sounding like
the undulations of a ship at sea from smaller to larger waves to heavy gunfire in the midst of
ocean warfare; perfect 2.5 another filler track chorus is rocky but dumb track for the most part,
the ctrl alt del lyric especially cringe af; sympathy fuck me this is trash why didnt the album
end already its long enough total fucking filler track so much for getting this to 4 overall fuck
me have a 2; burn the evidence 2.5 one final filler diller track why end so poorly omg final score
3.3 |
| DragonForce Reaching into Infinity | 3.0 |
| a generally good tour of the realm of dragonforce with highlights in judgement day n astral empire, but they rly need to cut out the worthless slow 'dramatic' bits cuz they suck at them |
| Bond Born | 3.5 |
| electropop renditions of some of the most famous classy tunes, highlights in wintersun, victory, korobushka, duel and viva! |
| Bond Classified | 3.0 |
| decent remixes of some classic classical tunes, tho only explosive and robin are worth their salt, a v disappointing use of canon in lullaby |
| Metric Old World Underground, Where Are You Now | 1.5 |
| this is very boring, like a slightly more active punkish bjork |
| Beyonce Beyonce | 1.0 |
| these songs are pretty gross i thought beyonce had class/talent. some tracks there is an illusory sound wall effect that is effective but for the most part this is just typical lazy pop |
| Ancestor (FIN) Ethereal Devotion | 3.0 |
| would be kalmah's first publication is actually a techthrash effort, unfortunate they never rerecorded this bc the main issue is its torpid production |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal | 2.0 |

| as great as kalmah would become they could just as easily have had a career in osdm |
| Kalmah Svieri Obraza | 3.5 |

| Whispered Blindfold | 3.5 |
| blindfold is easily their best song a trv mdm m/ |
| Whispered Wrath of Heaven | 3.0 |
| good enough to get a positive rating but nothing much stands out |
| Ensiferum Thalassic | 1.5 |
| an album largely ruined by the 2018+ trend of adding worthless clean singers to their entire tracklist to appear more woke or something, single rum, women, victory slaps if u ignore/delete the bitch vox. a very unfortunate edition to the vainamoinen series completely dishonouring the epicest of old men |
| Barathrum Okkult | 4.0 |
| the fertile barry continue birthing pure win black n roll |
| Ensiferum One More Magic Potion | 3.0 |

| Ensiferum Hero in a Dream | 3.5 |
| when ensiferum was still a hero in jari's dreams |
| Ensiferum Demo II | 3.5 |
| another excellent effort by the early sif, tho already showing what would soon be chinks in their armour as well, highlight in white storm and the main riff of dreamers prelude |
| Ensiferum Demo 97 | 3.5 |
| epic and pure as it should have remained |
| Black Veil Brides Black Veil Brides | 1.5 |
| and the award for making the guitar as redundant as possible goes to... |

| Ensiferum Suomi Warmetal | 3.0 |
| kind of hard to fuck up on an ep of famous covers. warmetal esp sounds p good siffified |
| Converge Jane Doe | 3.0 |
| this is not mccore, mccore is trash. this is not metal, metal is life. what we have here is punktal. not punk, not metal, too heavy for the former and too light riffed for the latter |

| nice jam session |
| Darkthrone Land of Frost | 2.0 |
| this can technically be called a composition, but like the title implies, mostly nothing |

| downtuned 70s metal riffs plus nascent thrash forthcomings enwrapped in a new darkness highlighting in nocturnal fear |
| Celtic Frost Emperor's Return | 3.5 |

| raw nokt is gud nokt |

| painfully avg dm tho it showed potential |
| Sepultura Beneath the Remains | 3.0 |
| a rather boring followup compared to there debut n soph |
| Incantation The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish | 2.5 |
| another decent almost good album largely ruined by doom, guttural is correct and realm is a noob |
| Kells Lueurs | 2.5 |
| french evanescence. better than evanescence tbh |
| Elyose Reconnexion | 2.0 |
| amateur wannabe french epica, tho un autre ete is a trv jam |

| solid tracks with eh instrums, black sabbath cover on point tho i wish he growled the lyrics more, extended version with raining blood cover is win |

| canty still got it even in 2010 bb |

| pretty good ep with highlights in title, wheel, n the epic poetry |
| Vader Necrolust | 4.0 |
| short with weak vox, but it dont get much better n deathy vader |
| Epica This is the Time | 2.5 |
| i mean not much of a rework, boring ass title track followed by some of their easy bests unnoticably different |
| Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii | 2.0 |
| elvis aint that bad bros, falling in love still gets me, bit too much hawaii tho |
| Queen The Game | 2.5 |
| dust will always be my jam but queen are certainly the kings of generic rock |
| Lamb of God As the Palaces Burn | 2.0 |

| Lamb of God New American Gospel | 1.5 |

| another meh to eh candlymuss ep, nothing good, nothing too bad, demos galore |
| Candlemass Death Thy Lover | 2.0 |
| plain ol' candyass but with an awesome cover |
| Rush Permanent Waves | 1.5 |
| i mean its rush, freewill is prob the best song, but ultimately boring n geddys annoying high pitched voice ruins most of whats good |
| Candlemass Lucifer Rising | 2.5 |
| rerecording of demons gate is great and holy balls do they sound better live but whats with constantly reminding ppl of someones death followed by are they feeling better after u keep telling them hes dead? |

| candlemass going around everywhere on this nonmetal ep |
| Candlemass Sjunger Sigge Fürst | 1.5 |

| even the hits only scrape the barrier of mildly interesting |

| pretty much as good or better on debut just dat prod tho |
| Foo Fighters The Colour and the Shape | 2.0 |
| not very exciting punk with occasional hardcore elements |
| Michael Jackson Thriller | 2.0 |
| pretty damn boring save startin n beat it, tho even those arent worth hearing more than the ubiquitous radio playthrus |
| Entombed When in Sodom | 2.5 |
| a mid ep tilting on gross, meh, n fucking weird |
| Entombed Wreckage | 3.0 |
| title is the epitome of death n roll but rest is ehhhh |
| Entombed Hollowman | 2.5 |
| too much rock |
| Demon Hunter War | 1.5 |
| pretty much an even shittier version of a scar symmetry bum. or maybe better. who knows really |
| Atheist Unquestionable Presence | 2.5 |
| some good shit but far from the unquestionable presence of dm everyone n their mama considers it |
| Entombed Stranger Aeons | 4.0 |
| early tombed best tombed |
| Entombed But Life Goes On | 3.5 |
| amazing initial demo by the 'tombed |
| Entombed Black Juju | 1.5 |
| fake entombed ep |
| Entombed Crawl | 3.5 |
| excellent dm ep done only the way entombed do |
| Dissection Where Dead Angels Lie | 3.5 |
| one of the epicest of eps, this version of dead angels lie features a believable scream of terror |
| Dissection Live and Plugged | 3.5 |
| pretty damn solid n tight live album, like they came right out of the studio |
| Dissection Live Legacy | 3.5 |
| great show, both better n worse in sum ways as studio versions |
| Alestorm Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum | 2.0 |

| great raw mdm from the snowy finland |
| Possessed Shadowcult | 3.0 |
| mid to great deathrash with the older tracks obv better than the new |

| trvly imperial emperor m/ |
| Emperor As the Shadows Rise | 4.5 |
| fking gorgeous ep of 3 rerecorded tracks from wrath of the tyrant |

| decent little dm collection from the kephraaaaaaaa |
| In Flames Black-Ash Inheritance | 3.0 |
| decent little showcase of the long dead flames |
| Mors Principium Est ...And Death Said Live | 3.0 |
| avg bleh to decentish mdm sounding like a combination of aild n norther |
| Demon Hunter Outlive | 1.5 |
| any band that eliminates their mccore sound for the most part is a plus, tho they didnt rly replace it with much here, some new synths/score elements + other elec sounds. still somehow attracted to one step behind |
| Temple of Void Summoning the Slayer | 2.0 |
| yea so this sucks, baby metal |
| Mors Principium Est Embers of a Dying World | 2.5 |
| combine the talentlessness of hypocrisy with a no fun version of norther n u got morsssssss |
| Blut Aus Nord Memoria Vetusta III - Saturnian Poetry | 3.0 |
| decently tinged bm that doesnt rly do anything special |
| Exodus Persona Non Grata | 3.0 |
| i take it back these old timers still have some ferocity in em, esp on tracks like clickbait....whose title is unfortunate but thats this world le sigh |
| Exodus Blood In, Blood Out | 2.5 |
| old time thrashers getn old, addin shit that shouldnt be in thrash to try to stay relevant |
| Exodus Exhibit B: The Human Condition | 3.0 |
| first half is good modern thrash esp beyond the pale but then goes down into this nude muddly shouting trying to be dm bs in 2nd half and its like wtf where'd the fucking band go |
| Exodus The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A | 2.0 |
| if moses on his way to part the red sea got eaten by crocodiles instead. when ur banjo skillz are better than ur trash ones |
| Ulver Kveldssanger | 1.5 |
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
AaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhAAAAAAAAAAAHaaaaaaaaaaaAHA
HAHAHaaaaaaaaaaa...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! |
| Ulver Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler | 2.5 |
| "ok bro i know we sound like every bm band on the market but i know what we can do to stand out" 'hell yea brah whats is it' "ok so you know how our moms always took us to church every sunday right? well--hear me out--we add a gregorian chant to every song!" 'fuck yea bro thats so met--wait what?' |
| Exodus Force of Habit | 1.5 |
| as much of a mess as the fucking picasso they decorated it with |
| Windir Likferd | 4.0 |
| one final melodic black folk epic. gone too soon before culminating many more, yet what a legacy to leave behind. our children will grow strong. RIP Valfar, a trv badass |
| Exodus Fabulous Disaster | 3.5 |
| rocky thrash party |
| Exodus Impact Is Imminent | 3.5 |
| consistent high quality thrash unlike the big four |
| Windir 1184 | 3.5 |
| solid black folk but not as babymaking as previous dates |
| Lacuna Coil Dark Adrenaline | 2.0 |
| was surprised this wasnt total crap. basically a more positive/less serious evanescence/linkin park, i find myself getting pulled into give me n intoxic |
| Mortification Realm Of The Skeletaur | 2.5 |
| weird dnd deathrashish awkward christian thing. tracks not bad, not good, no standouts |
| Mortification Scribe of the Pentateuch | 3.5 |
| what daaaa fuuuuuuuqqqqqqqqq. best release since scrolls, scribe includes deathrash wins like extradiefor and title, at times going full dm like the good old days with real riffs, solos, and melodies. its like the older steves gotten the more hes realized he needs to put out real shit |
| Mortification Erasing the Goblin | 3.0 |
| holy shit was not expecting this to be good. razorback is a great deathrash track with a consistent following rivaling any of your favourite thrash acts. steve sounds like hes got a backbone and the lyrics send demons to hell |
| Golden Earring Tits 'n Ass | 2.0 |
| chill old man rock. better than bon jovi anyway |
| Mortification Brain Cleaner | 2.0 |
| the weirdest combination of decent-good riffs completely ruined by absolute garbo lyrics, he doesnt even sing that bad and returns to some respectable death growls but everything he says is just so cringe omg, n dude why would u title one of ur little mini lyric grind songs ed...... nevertheless flu virus n esp zombie are listenable with some editing but my god fuck cleaning my brain gonna go get absorbed in some tits n ass |
| Mortification Relentless | 2.0 |
| 1st half is infinitely better than the boring ass 2nd half, same thrash rock with random dm sections in bring release, but almost totally ruined by steves weak convictionless voice and worthless lyrics. fortunately ends with a trv 3.5 deathrash banger in apocalyptic terror, evidently a redaction from their earliest days, steve even going for a mild bm shriek |
| Deftones Diamond Eyes | 1.5 |
| pretty birb is the only good thing about this album |
| Deftones Deftones | 1.5 |
| bloody cape is the only good track on this album |
| As I Lay Dying Shaped by Fire | 2.0 |
| postattempingtokillyourwifecore. neat. a lot more cleans on this album which unsurprisingly improves it otherwise tbh gilbert going ahrd. fuck me i actually like my own grave |
| Golden Earring Moontan | 2.5 |
| in an era of worthless psych/prog bands earring is also that but also understand somewhat what the guitar is all about and u get some nice smashes on this culminating in their deserving single radar love |
| As I Lay Dying An Ocean Between Us | 2.0 |
| better in everything than shadows yet also less, the mccore is just as dominant as the mediocre-dece mdm, lacks the slight power boost of powerless. ironically tho this prob has the most enjoyable tracks of their career in nothing left, title, n esp sound of truth |
| As I Lay Dying The Powerless Rise | 2.5 |
| a bit heavier, almost metal album with tons of groped meh to dece mdm riffs tho never letting go of the mccore ball n chain. without conclusion is fun if completely paradoxical, n parallels is prob the best track of their career with the chorus reminding me so much of ian d'sa |
| As I Lay Dying Shadows Are Security | 2.0 |
| mediocre to dece mdm tethered down by shitty mccore. harder than scar symmetry anyway |
| Enslaved E | 2.0 |
| sacred horse n axis hold a few gems that need to be mined out with heavy editing but the rest is an airy prog mess |
| Enslaved In Times | 1.5 |
| this one sucks sweaty balls tho with its anime cover |
| Enslaved Axioma Ethica Odini | 3.0 |
| this ones actually decent esp beacon |
| Enslaved Vertebrae | 1.5 |
| total going thru the motions album, gotta keep the progslaves happy |
| Enslaved Ruun | 3.0 |
| the only good prog'd album |
| Children of Bodom Tokyo Warhearts | 4.0 |
| best live album ever. band of 19 year old bros 4 lyfe suddenly finding themselves so successful as to travel halfway across the world to go crazy n just unleash their raw energetic party on the pacific island masses. keys/guitar duel is great. alexi still has a thick finnish accent lmao |
| Enslaved Isa | 2.5 |
| modern bm riffs with prog sections that arent actually all that proggy and sometimes even add to the structure but inevitably results in a giant meh |
| Demon Hunter Songs of Death and Resurrection | 2.5 |
| a lot of these acoustic versions sound better than the originals |
| Pantera The Great Southern Trendkill | 1.5 |
| tryhard metallica over here be like |
| Enslaved RIITIIR | 1.5 |
| they went nearly full prog and im bored af someone save me plz i still have like 40 mins of this ffs. edit: why does this sound like a ghost album edit2: i made it thru bros, forsaken isnt actually that bad but album sucks balls as a whole 1.5 stays |
| Windir Arntor | 4.0 |
| windir can have all my babies part 2 |
| Windir Soknardalr | 4.5 |
| windir's melodic black symph can have all my babies m/ |
| Enslaved Utgard | 2.5 |
| p much just avg black folk at this point |
| Enslaved Below the Lights | 3.0 |
| sum kinda generic bm style rock, not bad but nothing ear catching either |
| Enslaved Monumension | 2.0 |
| more prog less power |
| Mortification The Silver Cord is Severed | 2.0 |
| tbh isnt total garbo rock thrash, and yet still is. steves lame voice/lyrics kill a lot of the good, yet revolutionary is a legit good track if u can ignore that. this is basically australian christian motorhead |
| Soundtrack (Video Game) Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | 3.0 |
| jesus fuck cant even escape after checking that track list. anyway like previous game most tracks go with the game only, but this time its much better produced and grand, tho not rly superior in quality despite. my picks off this epic ost are p peach kidnapped again, bowser king of koopas, here comes king koopa, glitzville is a big win, rawk hawk rock is pure win as well (love the entire glitzville area/chapter), macho grubba, fight gainst mario no dooplis, excess express at day, super koopa bros world 3, storm the x naut fortress is pure win, and big bowser koopa krush is pure win |
| Mortification Hammer of God | 2.0 |
| steve is actually trying here. metal crusade is legit epic even tho slight cringe n rly only a mid to dece thrash track, rest of the first half decently thrashy, but then goes down to all mid tempo half assed bordos like their previous albums in second half. medley is a very sad rendition of some of their classic songs |
| Children of Bodom In Your Face | 4.0 |
| in your face is one of their best tracks ever, oops cover is how u turn a flimsy pop song into a total rocker esp with that epic drop transfiguration, and then "censored" version of in your face is just as fucking hilarious from the amount of beeps required to make it 'radio friendly' |
| Mortification Triumph of Mercy | 1.5 |
| cool angel cover and ofc coming back to the metal world after surviving low chance leukemia is a great miracle but dude u were probably being punished for creating such shit albums the past half decade. and god said, "steve, make some real shit like back in 91/92 or ur life is over." but did he obey? only in the superficial sense most so called christians display. at war with war is p decent groove thrash minus the interlude in the middle, title is a great story but absolute shit track, and then u just have the same total thrash/rock crapshow as their previous 2/3/4 albums until visited angel which has a decent lead riff that ends up doing nothing bc the track as a whole is defunct |
| Mortification The Evil Addiction Destroying Machine | 2.5 |
| not that bad thrash/rock. love the ridiculous over the top cover and title with an epic ripped comic book angel destroying the evils of bloodthirsty alcoholism with a righteous stomp, and title track is a legit thrashlite jam along with the melodic eternity. steve finally found a sound that melded with his middle aged man shout, tho its nothing spectacular |
| Mortification Envision Evangelene | 1.5 |
| about the worst thrash ever save that random hit piece in buried and the lolfactor of noah was a knower. title is prob among the worst rendition of the crucifixion in any media, tho i do like the idea of presenting the angels' reaction and their begging god to let them smite the demons causing it |
| Mortification Primitive Rhythm Machine | 1.0 |
| this is the worst deathrash album ive ever heard |
| Mortification Blood World | 2.0 |
| mediocre trash deaththrash, steve sounds like a dying old man. 'love song' is particularly egregious cringe, u have god given talents as evidenced by the 1st 2 albums how bout u use em?!?! |
| Neurosis Honor Found in Decay | 1.5 |
| huff puff...finally made it thru neurosis...one of the worst bands ever...this album not any better...*vomits* |
| Neurosis Aberration | 2.5 |
| the best thing they ever did besides their first 2 albums |
| Neurosis Fires Within Fires | 1.5 |
| moar banal asmr riffs for all u depressed losers out there |
| Neurosis Pain of Mind | 3.5 |
| my god their thrash punk roots are so much better than anything they ever did later, whyd u prog losers and metal haters have to murder them so |
| Neurosis The Word as Law | 2.5 |
| their early prog thrash shit is so much better than anything they ever did after fuck you guys making their post shit so popular |
| Five Finger Death Punch American Capitalist | 2.5 |
| another of those rock based nude muddly bands, singles under and coming down are the only standouts here |
| Neurosis Souls at Zero | 2.0 |
| early neuro certainly better than the rest, basically a slowed down thrash album with suitable extra effects, i like the web |
| Children of Bodom Trashed, Lost & Strungout | 4.0 |
| knuckleduster is pure win, n bed of nails n beautiful are among their best covers, title is a 3.5 |
| Neurosis Locust Star | 2.0 |
| neuro def better in small doses |
| Deftones Saturday Night Wrist | 1.5 |
| same garbo prog nude muddle |
| Koji Kondo The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask OST | 3.0 |
| a lot of reused tracks from oot but cool new ones include clock tower, the clock town day themes, pirates fortress, catch and trail meet again |
| Yuka Tsujiyoko Paper Mario GMS (Disc 1 and 2) | 3.0 |
| a lot of tracks rly only go with the actual game, but ones i like on their own include ghost gulping, hang in there peach, climbing the castle (bomb track), sad sun, bowsers rage (bomb), wish of the princess, huffin n puffin (bomb), king of the koopas (bombest track), k64 train ride, petunia under attack, princess in distress, bill blaster go faster, and shy guy riot |
| Enslaved Mardraum - Beyond the Within | 2.5 |
| take out the prog n this would be a good black thrash album, stjerneheimen is a jam |
| Koji Kondo The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OST | 3.5 |
| a lot of powerful tracks mixed with a plethora of meh to eh dungeon synth, my favourites are title, market, lon lon, lost woods, fairy, kakariko, storms, meet zelda, beast form, g's tower, ofc gerudo valley, and staff creds medley |
| Enslaved Blodhemn | 4.0 |
| blood revenge avenged |
| Enslaved Frost | 3.5 |
| thulean frost |
| The Dear Hunter Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional | 1.5 |
| indie ghost...? eh i guess its not 1 bad |
| Demon Hunter Extremist | 2.0 |
| same combo of nu, mccore, and nooby thrash as on their last, yet is both better and more generic at the same time. while obviously nothing is spectacular i can still get into cross to bear, in time, and graveyard. hell dont however is a total abomination and easily their worst song, and thats saying something. beyond me is actually legit melodeth for the first minute or so then just turns to shit, bonus waste sounds like modern flames |
| Demon Hunter True Defiance | 2.0 |
| not quite the come back they were going for, tho its heaps better than thorn. a mix of some thrash, mccore, and mostly nu. crucifix is the best track, some solid tho slightly dented melothrash, god forsaken is alright with some editing, my destiny is decent but suffers from the usual demohunt debuffs, then the rest is pure ass until dead flowers, admitting some veritable pathos despite the autotuning straight off last album |
| Demon Hunter The World Is a Thorn | 1.5 |
| this is one of the most confused albums ever. a new rhythm guitarist who well knows metals tropes pretty much takes over the album and indeed turns them into a kind of melodic thrash or thrashcore with the typical nude muddly elements, and yet this is their worst thus far. just wtf are lifewar, line, and nails, collapsing being a decent nu track and title modern thrash, but then it just gets fucking weird. just...breathe? shallow water? feel...as tho...u could...wtf are these song titles and confused ass rhythm thrash with autotuned vox and disjunctured 'hooks'. by far the worst part of all this is ryan clarks vox, like wtf are u even doing, terrible singing and mid grunts with autotune fucking everywhere |
| Enslaved Vikingligr Veldi | 4.0 |
| the most badass darkest adventure metal |
| Neurosis The Eye of Every Storm | 2.0 |
| pretty good....for white noise trv rating 1.5 |
| Neurosis Sovereign | 1.0 |
| a piss poor effort even by the genres low standards. bonus misgiven on remaster is the only somewhat interesting thing |
| Demon Hunter Storm the Gates of Hell | 2.0 |
| ironically their best attempt at making metal instead of nu/alt rock rap would be their downfall, as a lot of it is just hackneyed together riffs n random sound effects, still title is a cute rendition of a non metal band trying to go ahrd, lead us is almost decently thrashy forgetting the chorus, fading away is prob the best track tho it resembles pop rock more than anything, carry me down is almost poignant, i quite like thorns esp the keys, rest is garbo filler |
| Demon Hunter The Triptych | 3.0 |
| they get so close to actually being metal on a few tracks here, not i is badass, undying is epic (the tambourine on this n deteriorate are hilarious but i love it), relentless is a mid but could have been good track, deter is a pretty good ballad, soldiers song is groovy af, one thousand hits pretty ahrd, n the prong cover is well done and better than the orig. rest is mid-filler with ribcage being this albums awakening and tide being a v awkward and needlessly sappy/depressive slow bro that could have worked but they just chose not to |
| Demon Hunter Summer of Darkness | 3.0 |
| quite a step down from debut, a lot of s/ts raw aggression depleted for higher production and generic song writing. generally weaves between good track/bad track, not ready 2 die and beheaded are fun but awakening pisses me off, heartstrings has some real pathos, faces not as fun but still a thrashy lil thrill, title is the best track and certainly contains some of their most believable aggression, beauty is boring and long, annihilate is cool, i play dead doesnt seem like it would work but it does and i dont mind its full 5 min run time, finally coffin builder is a combination of cool nummy riffs and awkward af, rest is filler |
| Ed Sheeran + | 1.5 |
| has brief moments on a team, lego and give but otherwise boring trash firmly planted in the white boy with acoustic guitar genre |
| Neurosis Times of Grace | 1.5 |
| occasionally decent moments but the same borefest that is neuriqless |
| Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight | 1.5 |
| wtf happened. no wonder i never heard these guys again, no wonder chester did the wambam after 4 more albums of this |
| Neurosis A Sun That Never Sets | 1.5 |
| absolutely badass cover but same ol' neuro with the zzz taking down the ooo |
| Marrasmieli Marrasmieli | 3.0 |
| avg modern black folk, nothing to write home about |
| Journey Frontiers | 3.0 |
| separate ways n edge of the blade shine on an album of mehs to ehs |
| Ed Sheeran ÷ | 2.5 |
| typical pop album with its hits taken down by filler. best moments on dive and happier with perfect being a near perfect composition, love that song |
| Tristania World of Glass | 1.5 |
| very boring, a few good violin sections and dece instrumentation but no coherence whatsoever, just slap it together joe. they died without morten |
| Demon Hunter Demon Hunter | 3.5 |
| raw and full of energy, certainly the best thing to come out of the nu/alt era of hard rock (no this and slipknot have never been metal). screams, infected, throat, black & to a lesser but still ahrd degree wept slap yo mama into next week n the rest still bring general consistency thruout. gauntlet sucks tho |
| Journey Departure | 1.0 |
| holy fuck this album is boring |
| Linkin Park Meteora | 3.0 |
| prob the best of alt/nu effects after red and demhunt st, dont stay, faint, habit, n ofc numb hit ahrd |
| Deftones Around the Fur | 1.5 |
| typical proggy nude muddle indeed with sum boobies |
| Neurosis Through Silver in Blood | 2.0 |
| purify actually has vibes, but the rest is a drony mess, trv rating 1.5 |
| Motoi Sakuraba Dark Souls Soundtrack | 2.0 |
| generic fantasy score save gwynevere and overture |
| Neurosis Enemy of the Sun | 1.0 |
| i mean its neurosis. sum sabbath worship mixed with basic prog mixed with sum hardcore punk n put it in a blender n let it swim. one of the worst bands of all time |
| Marrasmieli Between Land And Sky | 3.0 |
| bathory meets dissection, nothing too interesting tho embrace was quite good |
| Sirenia The Seventh Life Path | 3.0 |
| elixir is amazing, sons of the north could have been so if they hadnt filled half of it with filler and used that cool intro chord progression as a main riff, serpent p good overall. concealed disdain dumb title but still pretty good, silv eye good with editing. tragedienne a close but not quite there dramatic theatre piece that does however have quite the conclusion with that one impressive and piercing note by the lovely ailyn, gets me every time |
| Sirenia Riddles Ruins and Revelations | 2.5 |
| wtf how many ex metal bands decided the 2020s were the time to go full electro pop. passing seasons is p good tho me like, spiral dece. rly shouldnt have death on the cover |
| Enslaved Eld | 3.0 |
| FIRE!!!!!!!! |
| Decapitated Cancer Culture | 2.0 |
| starts good esp title but soon devolves into their usual dm lite bullshit with even a nude meddle track like wtf, then last supper is decent but i'll never listen to it again |
| Dismember Like an Ever Flowing Stream | 4.0 |
| an everflowing stream...of RIFFS |
| Ed Sheeran x | 2.5 |
| ed she is a ratty bastard in a lot of ways but occasionally he produces something well above his contempories, in this case one, nina, and bloodstream, rest is either filler or not quite there bringing this down a lot |
| St. Vincent Actor | 1.0 |
| still utter shit but less arrogantly so, cover is among the ugliest of all time |
| Avril Lavigne Under My Skin | 2.0 |
| a collection of below avg punkpops save happy ending which is prob her best song, nobodys home p good too |
| Sirenia The 13th Floor | 2.5 |
| admittedly not their best, tho i still get a crack out of lost in life |
| Children of Bodom Hellhounds On My Trail | 4.0 |
| title ofc is great, condition meh, bed of nails awesome, live tracks great |
| St. Vincent Marry Me | 1.0 |
| https://youtu.be/w5n-FvpGwW8?t=124 no talent among the worst sequence of notes ive ever heard |
| Epica The Quantum Enigma | 3.5 |
| quite possibly the best leading intro ive ever heard, second stone is a great opener, followed by the in equal parts awkward and awesome essence of silence, i swear at a couple points the chorus is yelling piii-kaaa-chuuu. victims is another weirdly-awesome track, same with insomnia. canvas is this albums tides of time and isnt bad, corruption another good track. rest is dece but not worth hearing again save the omen chorus. overall a powerfully bombastic something piece with great lines scattered throughout |
| Decapitated Carnival Is Forever | 1.5 |
| knife is good but the rest is empty and lolz. also the lamest cover ever |
| Decapitated Nihility | 2.0 |
| yeah this is worse than their later machine gun shit save names |
| Avril Lavigne Let Go | 1.5 |
| the hits on this get almost completely overshadowed by the filler. ur not the milk n cheerios in my spoon bb. losing grip is fire tho and love her french inherited nasally voice, sk8ers always a party |
| Decapitated Winds of Creation | 4.0 |
| too bad the winds petered out after this |
| Super Piano 64 Zelda and Sleep: Instrumentals from Ocarina ofTime | 3.0 |
| songs could have been adapted a lot better but lullaby is good, lon lon is great n my eternafav fairy fountain is near perfect |
| Decapitated Organic Hallucinosis | 2.5 |
| groovy machine gun dm that doesnt rly go anywhere |
| Tristania Widow's Weeds | 2.0 |
| needs more metal but has more than a few excellent instrumental sections, just not a lot of overall coherence |
| Tristania Beyond the Veil | 2.5 |
| rly only serves as practice for sixes n sevens, but also utterly proves that veland was always far better off on his own an actual band holding him back. only admired beyond avg by simps bc nekkid wahmen and the avg beauty that is vebeke being way out of their league |
| Sirenia At Sixes And Sevens | 3.0 |
| tries but doesnt quite reach its potential, too simple compositions and clearly no time for refinement, but on the wane is excellent and the violin and flute on manica are mwah |
| Sirenia An Elixir For Existence | 4.0 |
| excellent new band energy on their sophomore, classic metal elements infused with intelligent compositions instead of just letting every possible bob n pin dangle wherever, among the best of symph |
| Nechochwen Azimuths To the Otherworld | 2.0 |
| please, sir, can i have some metal? |
| Neurosis Given to the Rising | 1.0 |
| this is total shitpiss and wizard is a tard |
| Sirenia Perils of the Deep Blue | 3.5 |
| pretty impressive for whats essentially a 2 man band. even the weaker tracks still have a careful quality to them that prevents them from taking it down too much. seven widows is a jam, ditt endelikt is suprisingly jammy given its led by some avg clean male vox, and decadence is the funnest track followed by nothing amazing but nothing poor either save that epic blizzard chorus |
| Xandria Sacrificium | 3.0 |
| such a weird mix of good and cringe unlike any album ive ever heard...nevertheless title to stardust are pretty solid, betrayers okay with editing, until the end is pure gold and only near perfect track, red relish is cringy af, temple is the weirdest mix of the aforementioned cringe with generally good sections, others completely forgettable |
| Mick Gordon Doom Eternal OST | 1.5 |
| is actually pretty bad save a few tracks with a highlight in bfg division |
| Blut Aus Nord Disharmonium - Undreamable Abysses | 2.0 |
| not so much an album as a soundtrack for dark souls or doom. feels like another stimulation is supposed to go with it. somehow goes on too long despite being avg length |
| Sonata Arctica Ecliptica | 4.0 |
| trv music magic _O_/ |
| Kamelot The Black Halo | 1.5 |
| kamelot sucks ass and this entire album is garbo save parts of memento mori n serenade |
| Threnodist The Vomitous Demo | 4.0 |
| why do the best osdm bands only last an album or 2 |
| Foreigner 4 | 2.5 |
| got juke, break, girlish and finally dont let go, rest are dece to duds |
| Marrasmieli Martaiden mailta | 3.5 |
| very mid until frozen north brings it up |
| Radiohead Pablo Honey | 2.0 |
| mostly boring with an occasional fun dip into rockiness. creep is a 3 |
| Ulver Nattens Madrigal | 3.0 |
| basic bitch bm with some extra diddlies whoa. vi n vii are pretty tho. also le volf |
| Sirenia Sirenian Shores | 2.5 |
| very sireny but thats about it |
| Xandria Kill the Sun | 1.5 |
| this whole thing sucks except forever n isis |
| Epica The Phantom Agony | 3.0 |
| sensorium 4 n feint 4 are masterpieces, facade 1.5 is a total fucking bore n takes this down unnecessarily, seif al din 1 is a total mess. title 3.5 is another masterpiece but maybe dont need the album extended version (scratch that hearing the single version again its too fast), rest are mid. bonus veniality 4 is a haunting masterpiece again. triumph 3.5 is a nice instrum. orchestral versions arent rly worth anything save basic instinctish |
| Exodus Tempo of the Damned | 2.5 |
| acdc gone thrash. shroud ov piss n seal of fist are the best tracks |
| Epica Omega | 3.0 |
| abyss of time is an excellent tarja-era nightwishy track minus the worthless narration and breakdown, but skeleton key is completely ruined by extremely incongruent meshuggah chugs. other tracks are quite avg until they finally come together at the end, but vast majority of tracks need mid to heavy editing to be listenable. rivers is a nice callback to tides of time, synergize quite energetic, typical mid to good closers in twilight n title |
| Thulcandra Fallen Angel's Dominion | 3.0 |
| dissection fanboys make a middling bm album, best track ofc is the cover of somberlain |
| Ghost (SWE) Impera | 2.5 |
| decent tunes overall but nothing packs a real punch |
| Soilwork Verkligheten | 2.0 |
| its unfortunate that guys with a decent amount of talent waste it on the ultimate scene kid album |
| Eternal Tears of Sorrow A Virgin and a Whore | 3.0 |
| a kalmah album with the bpm turned down low, still appreciate aurora, prophet, n fall of man tho |
| Thulcandra Under a Frozen Sun | 3.5 |
| shameless dissection worship, tho they do add a lot of their own to the epic aeon of darkness |
| Ghost (SWE) Meliora | 1.5 |
| a few closes but this is pretty boring overall |
| Stephane Hirondelle New Perspectives | 2.5 |
| another decentish collection of little light instrums |
| Exodus Shovel Headed Kill Machine | 3.0 |
| some hot bangs in raze and the appropriately titled magnus opus but not a lot special otherwise |
| Stephane Hirondelle Drama - Atmospheric Piano | 1.5 |
| was hoping this would be a bunch of cool piano pieces but its just the same drony shit all centering on an annoying c key |
| Stephane Hirondelle Bio Technology | 3.5 |
| pretty calming chill feelgood back beats like sthg found in a ghibli movie |
| Crimson Moonlight Veil of Remembrance | 4.0 |
| bounces all over the place in the extreme genres (as well as an embarrassing amount of mccore on embraced not to mention several worthless tech/prog sections on echoes) but overall holds strong to its blackened death/death/black/melodic death/melodic black frame |
| Epica The Divine Conspiracy | 3.5 |
| a simone-driven symphonic feast (and given that she went so far as to strip down for the cover it ought to be) telling you, and you, and you, that your religion is full of shit. first half is pretty solid requiring only minor edits, but gets a little rickety after the hebrew inspired instrumental with death falling short and only the chorus of living a lie being any good, but returns to the win with the sexy fools of damnation and pretty good beyond belief, finally culminating in the total garbage track safeguard but excellent sancta terra, ending with the decent but necessarily edited title track |
| Thulcandra A Dying Wish | 4.0 |
| excellent modern bm going beyond the dissection worship to create something of their own going so far as to achieve an album greater than their main inspiration |
| Eliza Grace Wormwood | 2.0 |
| i cant save the world is epic but then she just kind of meanders into a depressed taylor swift |
| My Bloody Valentine Glider | 1.5 |
| n that'll finish off my exploration of this generally shit band, glider or no glider |
| Stephane Hirondelle Electro City | 3.0 |
| as the title suggests fun little electro ditties, wish he'd cut some out and make the remainder longer |
| Hypocrisy End of Disclosure | 2.5 |
| another date where he says all the right things at dinner but ends up being shit in bed |
| My Bloody Valentine You Made Me Realise | 1.5 |
| chilly drone rock that doesnt do much |
| My Bloody Valentine Feed Me with Your Kiss | 1.5 |
| yea id rather not |
| My Bloody Valentine EPs 1988-1991 | 2.5 |
| just rating the extras, actually p good |
| My Bloody Valentine Tremolo | 2.0 |
| not a bad ep with some actually decent riffs n interludes, just nothing bumping it up |
| Deafheaven New Bermuda | 2.5 |
| sequel to sunbather nothing too interesting. slightly elevated generic bm core taken down by banal acoustic and piano sections that do nothing but waste ur time. tracks need heavy editing to be made properly listenable. ghost bath completely destroys them |
| My Bloody Valentine Only Shallow | 2.0 |
| knock some sense into that lolz rating. anyway that glide riff on title best thing theyve ever done, pixies vibes |
| My Bloody Valentine Ecstasy | 1.0 |
| when u pay ecstacy prices but its just a scam placebo |
| My Bloody Valentine This Is Your Bloody Valentine | 2.0 |
| elvis fellatio and its not even that bad tbh |
| My Bloody Valentine Strawberry Wine | 1.5 |
| zombie beatles |
| Ghost Bath Starmourner | 4.0 |
| essential melodic blackgaze trumping their previous masterpiece in moonlover |
| Burzum The Ways of Yore | 2.0 |
| a mostly empty cavern containing a handful of mournful old goblins |
| Stephane Hirondelle Urban Noir | 2.5 |
| seemed like it would be good score instrums but pretty laidback and nothing too appealing |
| Anthrax Penikufesin | 2.5 |
| another decent ep, french antisocial is lolz wish the chorus was too |
| Anthrax I'm the Man | 2.5 |
| decent ep, i am the law is beast, crowd interaction on mosh is lolz |
| Anthrax Armed and Dangerous | 3.0 |
| pretty solid thrashy bashy ep bros |
| Korpiklaani Where the Wild Wolves Have Gone | 2.5 |
| orig powerwolf version is much better unfortunately |
| Ghost Bath Moonlover | 4.0 |
| ghost bathers do it better cry moar. death n maiden is just as good if not better than golden number, n happyhouse n silv flower p 2 are runnerups. bonus ascension is a banger too |
| Anthrax Fueled EP | 3.0 |
| decent ep with highlights in title n remix of title |
| Ghost (SWE) Ceremony and Devotion | 3.0 |
| good song selection, lol @ tobias calling mummy dust heavy |
| Deafheaven Sunbather | 3.0 |
| blackgaze bits are decent-good, rest is garbo |
| Ghost (SWE) Prequelle | 1.5 |
| u got dance macabre and thats it |
| Burzum Fallen | 3.0 |
| a lesser version of belus featuring the death of naked innocence |
| Thulcandra Ascension Lost | 3.5 |
| rebellion is an awesome track followed by a string of good but not amazing bm throes wishing they were dissection |
| Marilyn Manson Portrait of an American Family | 1.5 |
| typical derpy marilyn talking a big game with no hits |
| Eminem The Slim Shady LP | 1.5 |
| yea so this is a rap album and it sucks save go go gadget dick n ofc stil don giva fuk |
| Hypocrisy Into the Abyss | 3.0 |
| avg middling mdm |
| Cult of Luna The Long Road North | 1.5 |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqFhzodjpp8&ab_channel=whocares0503 occasionally do sthg right but its ofc mostly wrong |
| Hypocrisy Hypocrisy | 2.5 |
| fractured, hybrid, n fusion are great but then they decide they want to be a shit band and stop playing music |
| Korpiklaani Kulkija | 2.0 |
| their worst album which is unfortunate bc such a pretty cover, but still like kuin korpi and of course the best track JOMAMA |
| Korpiklaani Noita | 2.5 |
| admittedly pretty avg for the korpi, but still some bangers like sahti and esp jouni jouni at least listen to that omg |
| Korpiklaani Manala (English) | 2.5 |
| u wouldnt think a simple change of language would affect an album so much, and for the most part it doesnt, steel even sounds better in some ways than rauta, but then they go and have some unnamed losers shit on predator with shitty mccore vox, completely ruining one of the best tracks, then they dont bother to run a version of sumussa, another strong track. smh shouldve just put the effort into another banger instead of bothering with this |
| Korpiklaani Manala | 3.5 |
| the most rock n roll of their albums, tuvilla and rauta are korpi classics surging into one of their best tracks in kuola, unfortunately mired by weaker slow/filler tracks, but this is still great fuck you guys |
| Bolt Thrower War Master | 2.5 |
| has a hard time deciding whether it wants to be basic bitch dm or pretty good dm |
| Moonsorrow Kivenkantaja | 3.5 |
| good balance of folk n black, just nothing superior save kaupunki |
| Exodus Bonded by Blood | 3.5 |
| trv trash but baloff sucks on vox they made a great decision recruiting the souzer |
| Korpiklaani Ukon Wacka | 3.0 |
| some real bangers on here like louhen n vaarinpolkka, groovy korvesta |
| Korpiklaani Korven Kuningas | 2.0 |
| yeah they exhausted themselves with tervaskanto, dont release an album every year kids |
| Exodus Pleasures of the Flesh | 4.0 |
| pleasures of the thrash |
| Korpiklaani Tervaskanto | 3.5 |
| easily their heaviest and thrashiest album, a relentless folk attack |
| Marilyn Manson Smells Like Children | 1.5 |
| bomb jiden's favourite album |
| Moonsorrow Tulimyrsky | 3.5 |
| competent black n folk parts but the 30 min track rly just sounds like 5 smaller tracks hashed together, covers are meh |
| Eternal Tears of Sorrow Vilda Mánnu | 3.5 |
| a bit rough as a sophy ought to be but classic mdm |
| Eternal Tears of Sorrow Children of the Dark Waters | 3.5 |
| generally competent symph n mdm sections without doing anything that great save midnight bird almost sounding like kalmah |
| Korpiklaani Tales Along This Road | 3.0 |
| another solid album of folky fun |
| Ghost (SWE) Infestissumam | 2.0 |
| has title n monstrance clock but thats it they let it down after debut |
| Ghost (SWE) Opus Eponymous | 3.5 |
| love ghost. best cutesy goth rock band? best cutesy goth rock band |
| Korpiklaani Voice Of Wilderness | 3.0 |
| where tf is the review for this one?!!? excellent production and generally better songs than debut, but begins to taper in the second half nearly a 3.5 BEER BEER BITCHES |
| Soilwork The Chainheart Machine | 2.0 |
| the mdm equivalent of a premature ejaculation, as a direct result of bjorn sucking anders' dick |
| Soilwork Steelbath Suicide | 1.5 |
| dt flames n carcass worship but without any of their talent save carcass cause carcass sucks ass |
| Korpiklaani Spirit Of The Forest | 3.0 |
| too many instr tracks and shaman outtakes but they get the strings strummin and nice for a listen |
| Haunter (USA-TX) Discarnate Ails | 3.0 |
| luckily better than i thought it would be. they stick to a kind of epic mostly trad death tech this time around, not enough to rly arouse me but i like it enough. sum1 gift me this so i can has gengar? |
| My Dying Bride A Map of All Our Failures | 2.0 |
| its like they have some talent but they just choose not to use it |
| Antonio Vivaldi The Four Seasons | 3.5 |
| Spring i. 3.5 bombastic with a great climax, tho somewhat annoying ii. 2 quite boring iii. 3.5 great romantic sweeps but dips a bit too much; Summer i. 4 wish there were no slow sections ii. 2 more boring iii. 4.5 stfu its impossible to overplay this masterpiece; Autumn i. 3.5 just as iconic and mid as spring i ii. 1.5 quite boring iii. 3.5 lofty fun; Winter i. 4.5 harder than anything until the 80s ii. 3 the only good adagio of the four concertos iii. 4 snowy with a fitting blizzard of a climax |
| Tomaso Albinoni Adagio in G minor | 3.5 |
| definitely seems anachronistically altered, best parts are surely albinoni's contribution, overall ends up sounding like a 20th century italian drama |
| Frederic Chopin Fantaisie-Impromptu, Op. 66 | 3.5 |
| quite a few awkward bits so i can somewhat understand him wanting to burn it but it's not actually bad at all, a tad more balance and less superficial diddlies and it could have worked out |
| Johann Pachelbel Canon and Gigue in D | 5.0 |
| The best, most beautiful, and most perfect song ever written. An impossibly intricate version of this plays in Heaven |
| Immortal Souls Wintermetal | 3.0 |
| a little too obsessed with snow but first snow 3.5 p epic intro; calm 4 despite the breakdowns; dawn 3.5 does a kind of 1000 eyes riff; trail 2.5 some rly awkward riffs and gets dangerously close to mccore; inverno (2) pretty pointless instru; snowstorm 3.5 some awkward riffs; cold 3.5 also some awk riffs but chorus more than makes up for it, easily best clean track theyve ever done; grave 3 some good riffs but lacks overall; solitude 2 this sucks; title 2 also sucks save the solo |
| Agnes Obel Myopia | 1.5 |
| same old zzzzagnes obel |
| Candlemass King of the Grey Islands | 2.5 |
| best album in a long time messiah or not, but nothing too great |
| Korpiklaani Karkelo | 2.5 |
| general folky fun but they rly dont amp it up past vodka |
| Candlemass Death Magic Doom | 2.0 |
| a bit more rocky rolly but just barely stands out from their other later albums |

| surely the most consistently med band ever, generally good time with no highlights |
| Marilyn Manson Mechanical Animals | 1.0 |
| jesus christ this guy sucks butt |
| Immortal Souls Ice Upon The Night | 3.5 |
| a lighter snowfall with icy riffs around the frozen lake highlighting in everwinter, sacrifice, and suicidalive |
| Candlemass Psalms For The Dead | 1.5 |
| ok the sabbath worship getting rly tired now |
| Agnes Obel Citizen Of Glass | 1.5 |
| same deal as her previous albums, decent strings, lack of everything else |

| a lovely raw blizzard of wintry mdm |
| Candlemass Candlemass | 1.5 |
| more sabbath n maiden worship, at least messiah is back |
| Moonsorrow Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa | 3.0 |
| nothing too interesting here but decentish modern bm |
| Haunter (USA-TX) Sacramental Death Qualia | 3.0 |
| a further step down from debut as they decide to a more dso route, but fortunately the core bm aspects remain as the main course. makes me worry for their new album tho |
| Candlemass From the 13th Sun | 1.5 |
| ok u had ur total sabbath worship fling thank god the christ is back on st |
| Haunter (USA-TX) Thrinodίa | 3.5 |
| this is the good shit even if they named themselves after a pokemon, wanted to go 4 but they had to throw in too many techdeth n prog sections and that made me sad |
| Candlemass The Door To Doom | 1.5 |
| they probably should have just not done this |
| Eminem The Eminem Show | 1.5 |
| the only real track here is the epic collapse like wtf |
| Candlemass Dactylis Glomerata | 1.5 |
| yeah so no messiah no good, n no wonder abstrakt debut floundered the side project portion is total shit, and of course amott doesnt help |
| Candlemass Chapter VI | 2.5 |
| every good cookie has to crumble, quite a misstep |
| Candlemass Tales of Creation | 3.5 |
| another great album. highlights in unfathomed tower and halls of death |
| Candlemass Ancient Dreams | 3.5 |
| this is where the mass really starts, archeron is such a jam |
| Taylor Swift Evermore | 1.0 |
| i dont think there was a single interesting track on this whole album and i listened to the deluxe version |
| Taylor Swift Folklore | 1.0 |
| nothing folky or lorey about it. also it was boring af |
| Panic! at the Disco Pretty. Odd. | 1.5 |
| pretty bad, pretty sad, pretty meh, pretty bleh, pretty same, pretty lame |
| Panic! at the Disco Vices & Virtues | 3.0 |
| decent party rock, i always appreciate how these kinds of bands know when to end an album |
| Taylor Swift Lover | 2.0 |
| damn so close to actually being able to call it a decent album |
| Taylor Swift Reputation | 1.0 |
| damn taylor got hit with the woke mind virus hard, went from having some talent to none whatsoever |
| My Dying Bride Feel the Misery | 1.5 |
| feel the misery? all i feel is cringe |
| Xasthur Portal Of Sorrow | 3.5 |
| this is cool, straddles that fine line of epic vs corny/cheesy without going over it, sounds like outtakes from several vg scores |
| Rammstein Reise, Reise | 3.0 |
| rammstein is prob the most balanced rock band ever, highlights in title und mein teil |
| Rammstein Herzeleid | 3.0 |
| what a debut, highlights in wollt ihr das bett n du riechst |
| Taylor Swift Speak Now | 1.5 |
| mostly either cringey or boring, shows she should have never done the country thing, but enchanted is nice, revenge for some speed, and last kiss almost hits its mark |
| Rammstein Untitled | 3.0 |
| better than their other later albums but not quite in the 3.5 range |
| Taylor Swift Taylor Swift | 1.5 |
| i mean, teenage girl, country pop...at least the production is good |
| Rammstein Rosenrot | 3.0 |
| usual general rammparty without any highlights |
| Taylor Swift Fearless | 2.0 |
| got love story, belong, n why, 'bonuses' are trash |
| Opeth Sorceress | 1.5 |
| has some decent rhythms but for the most part just happy to be done with this shit band |
| Opeth In Cauda Venenum | 1.5 |
| another album that just saves itself from total annihilation with some decent jams at the end |
| Opeth Pale Communion | 1.0 |
| the few interesting bits get completely nullified by the suck |
| Taylor Swift Red | 2.0 |
| incredibly boring for the most part, wubs on trouble ruin it, still last time and begin again are good tracks and several others have their moments |
| Opeth Heritage | 1.5 |
| a couple interesting bits near the end just barely saved this from total annihilation |
| Opeth Watershed | 2.5 |
| would have been my first opeth 3 in which i commented how even when they're good it's only about avg for a metal band, but then they ruined it with those lullnothings at the end smh |
| Opeth Damnation | 1.0 |
| lol |
| Opeth Deliverance | 2.0 |
| has some cool sections but as they say themselves 'nothing ever changes' |
| Opeth Still Life | 2.0 |
| i mean its an opeth album alright, most of them sound the same |
| Rammstein Sehnsucht | 2.5 |
| du hast is the only standout and even then it's not quite fun enough |
| Opeth Morningrise | 2.0 |
| more bad than good on here, editing prob wouldnt even save it |
| Rammstein Zeit | 3.0 |
| pretty on par for the ramm, generally good dust rock tunes thrvout, autotune on lugen made me lol, but zick zack is the real winner with that chorus |
| Immortal Souls Wintereich | 3.0 |
| a more streamlined ice sculpture nevertheless with highlights in nightfrost and frozen inside |
| Agnes Obel Philharmonics | 1.5 |
| jesus that cover, are we modern contemporary or 19th century miserable feminist? anyway piano bits are good but she cant rly sing and everything else is blah |
| Opeth Orchid | 2.5 |
| debut is decent, but just imagine how much better op would be if they left out the prog altogether |
| Immortal Souls IV: The Requiem for the Art of Death | 3.5 |
| instrum pieces thruout 3 good intro and bells; evil 3.5; nuclear 4 so groovy, amazing drums n fills; wept 4 another groovefest; absol 3 good melodies but too slow, some awkward riffs; rotting rye 3 good thrashy main riffs, terrible chorus, poor concept, garbage slow section at the end; last day 3 a chug a groove fest, but annoying chorus; hypnotic 4 a galloping horse of a track; thoughts 4 all around solid track; rose 3 good concept poor execution; requiem 3 not good but not terrible, not anywhere near as solemn as they meant it to be |
| The Beatles Let It Be | 1.0 |
| one final garbage album thank god they didnt make any more |
| Opeth Blackwater Park | 2.5 |
| requires substantial cuts to be made wholly listenable |
| The Beatles Yellow Submarine | 1.5 |
| being a film score scores half a point for instrums and classical borrowing but all u need and title are sins against all that is music |
| The Beatles The Beatles | 2.0 |
| fuck the beatles so fucking much omfg trvest 1 there ever was |
| The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour | 1.0 |
| the best thing about the beatles is that most of their albums arent very long |
| The Beatles Rubber Soul | 2.0 |
| in which they totally gave up save a couple piano riffs trv rating 1 |
| The Beatles Beatles for Sale | 1.5 |
| some decent flicks but they ruin it in the second half |
| The Beatles Help! | 2.0 |
| title track deserves to be shot and left on the side of the road but the rest is chill with a highlight in its only love |
| The Beatles A Hard Day's Night | 1.5 |
| infinitely better than their later shit, this album features wisps of what would later become the rocker's spirit |
| Bjork Utopia | 1.5 |
| better than most of her shit, hopefully going on retirement. pretty funny when she talks about random platitudinous shit then suddenly says shit or fuck in the same nonchalant tone tho lmao |
| Bjork Vulnicura | 1.0 |
| bjork going through her midlife crisis |
| Bjork Biophilia | 1.0 |
| surprise its another boring af bjork album |

| Bjork Vespertine | 2.0 |
| holy fuck this is boring idk how u guys tolerate this trv rating 1 |
| Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse | 2.0 |
| this is an opeth album alright. ruin good riffs and vox with terrible prog signatures |
| After Forever Prison Of Desire | 1.5 |
| this is the worst symph ive ever heard |
| The Beatles Abbey Road | 2.0 |
| most undeserving 4.6 ever? most undeserving 4.6 ever. at least they sound soberish this time. trv rating 1.5 |
| Bjork Homogenic | 2.0 |
| so did all this happen bc no one had the courage to tell her she couldnt sing? trv rating 1.5 |
| Bjork Bjork | 1.5 |
| instrumentation is decent but the more i listen to bjork the more she seems the kind of girl who always got what she wanted. better than bieber anyway |
| Nightwish Wishmaster | 3.0 |
| has some great tracks like she is my sin and crownless but otherwise wavers and ends up on the simply good side |
| Bjork Debut | 1.5 |
| very sleepy pop, maybe if she sung in icelandic |
| Leaves' Eyes Meredead | 3.0 |
| constantly flirts on that good vs great line but never actually crosses over |
| The Beatles With the Beatles | 2.0 |
| back when they were cute and actually had some talent, highlight in all my loving but still the same pointless beatles, make a half hour sound like 1 and a half |
| The Beatles Revolver | 2.0 |
| maybe if ya'll hippies hadnt spent what little money you had on this shit the movement would have lasted a bit longer trv rating 1 |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | 2.0 |
| completely worthless save the choral melody in lucy trv rating 1 |
| Candlemass Nightfall | 2.0 |
| night falls, curtains close |
| Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs Dañs an Diaoul | 2.0 |
| a crappier version of their later albums |
| Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs Tan ar Bobl | 2.5 |
| not as good as their other albums, pretty motions going for them |
| Primalfrost Lost Elegies | 3.0 |
| yet another barely above avg folk dm album, gotta hurt when ur best work was as a teenager |
| Primalfrost Prosperous Visions | 3.0 |
| pretty avg folk after such a promising ep, needs more accordion and epicness |
| Hanternoz Spukgeschichten - Anciennes légendes des Alpes | 3.0 |
| decent little bm split, tannod with trad, rauhnacht with atmo, hanternoz with folk |
| Nightwish Angels Fall First | 2.0 |
| yea so they had problems from the start, harpsikeys are great but disappear by halfway, and then it just gets long and boring, not even a highlight |
| Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs Breizh Anok | 3.0 |
| decent bagpipe driven folk rock en bretogne oy oy oy!! |
| Hanternoz Mallozh d'Ar Zistrujerien Kastell Ankiniz | 2.5 |
| some more avg folk bm |
| Nightwish Dark Passion Play | 1.5 |
| this is some boring ass symph rock yo, no wonder tarja left, sum grooves on byebye n amaranth n thats it |
| Hanternoz Linceuls d'Écume | 2.5 |
| slightly better than gland style bm, highlight in band track |
| Ariana Grande Dangerous Woman | 2.0 |
| has its hits but mostly misses, every single track save greedy being that attempt at slow swagger seduction, bad decisions the best of the bunch, but does this woman have a single song that isnt explicitly about sex? can we just take a nice walk in the park now and again instead of going straight to bed? just a little girl pretending to be a suave lady |
| Hanternoz Metal kozh | 1.5 |
| a pretty horrific rendition of sthg resembling a lofi fbm album |
| Nightwish Oceanborn | 4.0 |
| nightwish's masterpiece |
| Eluveitie Everything Remains As It Never Was | 3.0 |
| a truly middling album from a band unsure where to go after 2 successful metal albums and an awkward foray into pure folk mania. the good and the bad seem to compete to balance each other, with would-be standout tracks like title, thoufold, kingdom, raven, and dom not fully fleshed out, while the likes of nil and ashes teeter noncommittally this way and that, with some random instrum pieces seeming to be evoc i outtakes. finally at the end we get the most complete and compact tracks in sempiternal embers and the pleasantly awkward lugdunon. a rly weird album but id say the goodness wins out in the end |
| Eluveitie Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion | 2.0 |
| rly only has brictom, omnos (metal version preferred), and memento with a special mention in ne regv na |
| Nightwish Once | 1.5 |
| only tracks worthwhile here are nemo and parts of ghost love |
| Nightwish Over The Hills And Far Away | 2.0 |
| title cover is the only thing of worth here |
| Eluveitie The Early Years | 3.0 |
| just rating the rerecording of ven, which sounds infinitely better and is actually listenable |
| Eluveitie Spirit | 4.0 |
| always forget how good this album is. raw, a little bmy, starts good and continually crescendos into better and better tracks, this is mdm style folk at its best |
| Eluveitie Ven | 1.5 |
| yea so the original version of this thing sucks bunghole |
| Eluveitie Origins | 3.5 |
| another solid entertaining but not mind-blowing album by the swiss, nameless, darkness, virunus, inception, vianna are all excellent followed by the main highlights of the album in silver sister and king, not one to miss for any folk afficionado |
| Primalfrost Chapters of Time | 4.0 |
| best amateur black folk written by a sole teenager from the great north, THIS IS CANADA BITCHES |
| Eluveitie Evocation II: Pantheon | 2.5 |
| epona, nantosvelta, and lugus are the stars here, sounds so thick u barely notice there isnt any electricity running through them, but the rest is just a similar to evoc i hodgepodge of random folk diddlies that dont rly do anything but give the new lineup some practice working together |
| Frozen Shield Ínia | 2.5 |
| a more synthy/symphonic ensiferum clone, only standout track is warrior woman |
| RavenLand Ravensongs for the Ravenhearts | 2.0 |
| pretty lackluster symph/folk outtakes. girl sounds like amy lee for those interested |
| Leaves' Eyes Melusine | 2.5 |
| decentish symph with some acoustic editions |
| Evanescence The Open Door | 2.0 |
| the more direct rock song structure works better in the first half before falling stagnant to be no better than debut, highlight in call me sober |
| Eluveitie Ategnatos | 3.5 |
| first metal album with the new lineup and about as good as an elv album gets. indeed, good riddance to anna as her replacements are not only much hotter women but a lot more talented as well. ambiramus is the starchild here with the rest of the album a consistent medium rare to medium throughout, though of course the deletion of the worthless narration bits would improve it slightly |
| Hadadanza Magia | 2.0 |
| pretty avg folk, en espanol |
| Evanescence Fallen | 2.0 |
| nude muddle nightwish. pop hooks in place of epicity, but sounds empty as numbhuddle will do |
| Nightwish Century Child | 2.0 |
| barebones symph, which is unfortunate given this is their 4th album. hoping for something, anything good, but the best on here is the cover of phantom of the opera |
| Hadadanza Juglar | 3.0 |
| decent chill lite folk rock en espanol |
| King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King | 2.0 |
| and so began the downfall of music as an experience with this pioneer of the worst and most worthless genre known to man trv rating negative infinity n way to waste a cool name that could have been a kickass thrash band or sthg |
| Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs Amzer an dispac'h | 3.0 |
| bagpipe n bombardon driven folk rock sung in english, french, and breton, tho gwenael gets somewhat annoying at times |
| August Burns Red Constellations | 1.5 |
| better than most mccore for not writing just mccore. take out all the bore elements and you'd not only reduce this to a much more listenable 10 mins but would actually have something resembling music |
| Rose Avalon Universe (EP) | 3.5 |
| excellent folky ep that makes me feel like a princess |
| Rose Avalon Northern Strengths | 3.0 |
| decent symph metul with highlights in my sad martirdom (sic) and the bagpipes on northern star |
| Ekyrian Memorias Del Bosque | 3.0 |
| decent debut of folk rockz en espanol |
| Bon Jovi 100 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong | 2.0 |
| bon jovi proving they did an excellent job in trimming the crap from their lps |
| Ekyrian Mas alla de la tempestad | 3.0 |
| decent spanish-sung lite folk memmel, highlight in el laberinto magico |
| Whispered Metsutan - Songs of the Void | 3.0 |
| after a couple of meagre efforts whispered finally came out with a decent album, highlight in strike |
| Whispered Shogunate Macabre | 2.0 |
| pretty piss poor mdm but unrestrained is decent |
| Whispered Thousand Swords | 2.5 |
| japanese instrumentation is well done but the rest is avg lackluster mdm |
| Skyfire Esoteric | 2.5 |
| on their last release they finally take the plunge into mediocrity |
| Skyfire Fractal EP | 3.0 |
| certainly their worst release up to this point, get a little techy n proggy n bore |
| Skyfire Spectral | 3.0 |
| another modest success by the fire in the sky, gets a little dt there, some spirit blk dimens here, best track is prob conjuring |
| Obituary Obituary | 3.0 |
| pretty good deathrash from these old schoolers |
| Skyfire Liberation in Death | 3.0 |
| decent skyfire, good keys as usual, nothing spectacular |
| Obituary Darkest Day | 3.5 |
| some pretty damn tight deathrash their best since cod for sure |
| Obituary Xecutioner's Return | 2.5 |
| get decently groovy deathrash on here that's almost but not quite a 3, highlight in seal your fate |
| Obituary Inked in Blood | 1.5 |
| among their crappier deathrash almost rock releases |
| Obituary Frozen in Time | 1.5 |
| barely passable deathrash i guess rly not much to it |
| Obituary Back from the Dead | 2.5 |
| decentish declining deathrash with some deathrrap cuz why not |
| Skyfire Mind Revolution | 3.0 |
| what a decline eliminating all black metal aspects in favour of generic pop mdm, still excellent use of keys however with a highlight in colliding in mind |
| Alice in Chains Rainier Fog | 1.0 |
| along their usual sludgy prog shit they decided to add some generic rock riffs for a change. does it help at all? of course not |
| Alice in Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here | 1.5 |
| not as annoying as their other albums but still a pointless existence |
| Alice in Chains Black Gives Way to Blue | 1.0 |
| alice in chains sucks complete fucking balls and so does anyone who listens to this with any regularity |
| Hanternoz Au Fleuve de Loire | 2.5 |
| graveland style black folk but in french, with that crappy production and total amateur muz, but has a couple p good tracks, goes on too long |
| Obituary World Demise | 2.0 |
| obituary x at the gates, a terrible idea |
| Adele 25 | 2.0 |
| poorer version of 21, several tracks that are almost bangers but fall just short |
| Slipknot Iowa | 1.5 |
| s/t but weaker. ugh scratch that this bore goes on for way too long |
| Slipknot Slipknot | 2.5 |
| good energy but riffs (the few that can be deemed so as much of the guitar picking is spent on prototype mechuggah chugs) largely empty, basically a decent instead of total shit version of korn |
| Korpiklaani Jylhä | 3.5 |
| u ppl are fucking stupid this is great esp levaluhta and tuuleton omg tuuleton so good |
| Frozen Shield Deafening Woods | 3.0 |
| a comb of siffy, korpi, a good deal of awkwardness, and their own good ideas, best track is green beards |
| Obituary The End Complete | 2.5 |
| so painfully average u'd think it was a demo or ep not their 3rd full length trying to outstage cod and rot |
| Adele 21 | 2.5 |
| 21 yo adele finding a lot more interesting things to do with her voice, giving some elegance to the pop genre |
| Stormkeep Galdrum | 2.5 |
| everything it says on the tin from the name to the muz, avg atmoblack |
| Adele 19 | 1.5 |
| good to know adeles always mostly sucked |
| Darkthrone Old Star | 1.0 |
| jesus fuck among the worst theyve ever done what is that production |
| Darkthrone Arctic Thunder | 1.5 |
| u like zzz's? here u go bb |
| Darkthrone The Underground Resistance | 1.5 |
| marginally better than their last few releases |
| Darkthrone Circle the Wagons | 1.0 |
| if u know how to herp but need tips on how to derp, look no further |
| Darkthrone Dark Thrones and Black Flags | 1.0 |
| this fuckin band man omg...makes me want to vomit |
| Darkthrone F.O.A.D. | 1.0 |
| lol |
| Darkthrone The Cult Is Alive | 2.5 |
| and then they started the self paradizing. didnt even spell kvlt right smh |
| Darkthrone Sardonic Wrath | 3.0 |
| this ones pretty tight tbh |
| Darkthrone Hate Them | 2.5 |
| better than everything since total death yet still not above average |
| Atlas Pain Behind the Front Page | 3.0 |
| decent enough melofolk that steals its best parts straight from equi |
| Darkthrone Plaguewielder | 2.5 |
| starts good but then they begin rawdoggin it and it just becomes meh |
| Darkthrone Ravishing Grimness | 2.5 |
| another average album by the greatest conformers in bm |
| Bon Jovi 2020 | 1.5 |
| yep this is mucho garbo listeno |
| Bon Jovi This House Is Not for Sale | 2.5 |
| not that bad tbh. can get into title 2, ghost, n coaster, overtoned riffs thruout are nice |
| Bon Jovi Burning Bridges | 1.5 |
| yep total blah album |
| Bon Jovi Lost Highway | 2.5 |
| actually has some 80s like bangers in any day n strangers, best since faith |
| Incantation Mortal Throne of Nazarene | 4.0 |
| excellent osdm with just the right amount of doom |
| Bon Jovi Bounce | 2.0 |
| best album in a decade...which isnt saying much unfortunately ;( |
| Billy Talent Billy Talent | 3.0 |
| consistently solid 3s thruout with highlights in ex and river below |
| Bon Jovi Crossroad | 3.0 |
| not the worst comp but the outtakes were rightly outtaken |
| Bon Jovi Have a Nice Day | 2.0 |
| worse than bounce but better than those before after faith |
| Obituary Slowly We Rot | 4.0 |
| slowly this is not. track after track of the tightest, most relentless dm bb |
| Obituary Cause of Death | 3.5 |
| no, death caused you. a lesser but still actual death metal death album |
| Bon Jovi What About Now | 1.5 |
| in one ear out the other soporific soft rock |
| Darkthrone Eternal Hails | 1.5 |
| i take it back id much rather they make basic bm for all eternity than devolve into this dso bullshit |
| Skyfire Timeless Departure | 4.5 |
| a timeless meloblack classic m/ |
| Norther Circle Regenerated | 1.5 |
| worst norther for sure. kind of like break but it also sounds like a flames song so |
| Norther Till Death Unites Us | 2.0 |
| only bland petri norther. only (pseudo) jam on this of course is fuck you |
| Norther N | 3.0 |
| certainly the most bipolar of their albums. to separate the gold from the dross u have frozen angel, down, black gold, and always & never |
| Norther Mirror of Madness | 3.0 |
| not as good as their other albums but u do have blackhearted, midnight walker, and the inevitable jam that is unleash hell |
| Norther Dreams of Endless War | 3.5 |
| what a debut from the one and only norther. highlights include darkest time, title, and the final countdown cover. bodom comparisons are completely unfounded bodom sounds infinitely better and north sound far more like a more direct siffy anyway |
| Norther Death Unlimited | 3.5 |
| fucking love norther. the atmosphere of siffy, the maturity of bodom, and the virtuosity of neither. norther is the best worst band and fuck you if you don't like it. highlights on this album include title and fallen star |
| Ensiferum Iron | 3.5 |
| a somewhat awkward but still fun release before jari untimely (ahaha) jumped ship, highlights in title, slayer of light, and into battle |

| the king and progenitor of melodic death folk metal m/ |
| Power Quest Magic Never Dies | 2.5 |
| motions going for pm, but i like diamond sky quite a bit |
| Atlas Pain What the Oak Left | 3.5 |
| a lesser version of every folky mdm band u know, but still pretty good |
| Darkthrone Goatlord | 1.0 |
| total utter shit. that is all |
| Aether (POL) In Embers | 3.0 |
| barebones mdm only standout track is last battle |
| Darkthrone Total Death | 3.0 |
| blaze n hungers prod blended with a mix of all previous bm albums riffs and atmosphere, and as such its better than all of them but not worth much just as |
| Bon Jovi Crush | 2.0 |
| a general bore without any highlights save that one solo |
| Def Leppard Hysteria | 3.0 |
| generally like this album but there isnt a song i would actually keep in a playlist or in my overall discog |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B♭ major, BWV 1051 | 3.0 |
| pretty motions going for what we call classical. few notable moments, the kind of background music u throw into your film bc u cant afford any copyright, allegro iii gets the most allegro-y tho |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major, BWV 1050 | 3.5 |
| not the best bach but allegro i has enough moments to keep u engaged, and that harpiscord solo is badass af. affettuoso is completely forgettable and thankfully doesnt last too long, then some general epicness in allegro iii. whole piece would be better without the flute |
| Bon Jovi These Days | 1.5 |
| hey god followed by a slew of shitty ballads save if that |
| Bon Jovi The Circle | 1.5 |
| not born to follow is the only good track rest is a generic bore |
| Darkthrone Transilvanian Hunger | 2.0 |
| the most boring bm album oat |
| Darkthrone Soulside Journey | 3.0 |
| middling dm album no wonder fenriz jumped on the bm boat when he could |
| Darkthrone A Blaze in the Northern Sky | 2.5 |
| pantera and darkthrone: what do they have in common? both bands ripped off other bands and completely changed sound because they were mediocre in their initial genres. thus results a bm debut tampered with trying to get into the genre too quickly, recycling unused newly blackenized dm riffs from their previous album for filler purposes and catapulting themselves into tying with burzum for the first norwegian bm lp by already having the advantage of a record deal and studio time. to make matters worse not only did they steal the sound of their fellow norwegians but they didnt even make it good! bm just as mediocre as their dm was. all at once a superficially bm album but lacking the trv soul |
| Darkthrone Panzerfaust | 2.0 |
| part combination of blaze and hunger in en vind and vinter but mostly a fuckin blackened punk prog album |
| Bon Jovi New Jersey | 3.5 |
| a better version of slippery with highlights in born baby and blood on blood |
| Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet | 3.0 |
| full ass radio rock of the kind to make ur pet cockatoo dance, and it isnt even bad. bad name lyrics dont go with the music at all however and its one of those few instances when the words completely ruin the tunes |
| Bon Jovi 7800° Fahrenheit | 4.0 |
| best rock album of all time |
| Bon Jovi Bon Jovi | 3.0 |

| Nile Vile Nilotic Rites | 3.5 |
| some damn solid dm from the egyptian gods |
| Nile In Their Darkened Shrines | 3.0 |
| two successful albums means a bigger budget, and shrines sounds a helluva lot bigger and masterfully produced, but the tracks themselves are about the same quality as debut n sophy |

| Moonlight Sorcery Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity | 4.0 |

| Bobby Vinton Melodies of Love | 3.0 |
| smooth n trv, highlights in title, am i losing, n beautiful girl |
| The Pretty Reckless Light Me Up | 2.0 |

| Motley Crue Too Fast for Love | 3.0 |
| only trv crv, highlights in live wire n show with general bebops thrvout |
| Primitive Graven Image Celebrating Impending Chaos | 3.5 |
| big step up from their debut, solid flawlessly produced modern bm with some tricks up their sleeve |
| Nirvana In Utero | 1.5 |
| the logical course after becoming a tour de force is to put a lot of effort into creating the most generic album possible. some good moments on apprentice and heart but that's it |
| Nirvana Nevermind | 3.0 |
| one of those rare albums that more or less lives up to its fame, fav tracks teen spirit n lounge |
| Primitive Graven Image Traversing the Awesome Night | 3.0 |
| competent modern bm but nothing special about it |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Divertimento in B-flat Major, K. 137 | 3.5 |
| th'andante is pretty boring but th'allegro m is hot shit followed by a motions going assai |
| Johannes Brahms Sixteen Waltzes, Op. 39 | 3.0 |
| you come here for no. 15, otherwise general classical |
| Antonin Dvorak 8 Piano Humoresques, Op.101, B.187 | 4.0 |
| i adore these humoresques, i, v, vii, viii < 3 |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 | 4.0 |

| Deep Purple Now What?! | 2.0 |
| yep this is a deep purple album. cant say anything stood out |
| Black Fucking Cancer Procreate Inverse | 3.0 |
| again solid blackened death with an awesome cover but u rly have to be addicted to this shit to get much more out of it |
| Omegavortex Black Abomination Spawn | 3.0 |
| flawless production, pretty damn solid and smartly technical unlike every techdeath band ever just doesnt pull me in much |
| Nokturnal Mortum To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire | 3.5 |
| traded in most of their soft folk elements for straight up bombastic bm. not bad but not the greatest either, save on the moonlight path |
| Nokturnal Mortum The Voice of Steel | 3.0 |
| definitely not their best effort more of a folk rock album with bm elements than anything else certainly doesnt deserve the enforced 2. best song ofc is the country track ukrayina |
| Nokturnal Mortum Goat Horns | 4.0 |
| trv ukrainian black symph m/ |
| Deep Purple Purpendicular | 2.5 |
| best purp along house exchanging the usual jam rock for smooth melodies n down to earth rhythms |
| Deep Purple Bananas | 2.0 |
| this is bananas alright, more of the exact same tunes ur used to bb |
| Deep Purple inFinite | 2.0 |
| i actually quite like vegas, rest is inoffensive jam rock |
| Franz Liszt Liebestraume, S.541 | 3.5 |
| gentle and soothing nocturnes each augmenting into a powerful crescendo without losing their character |
| Red (USA) Innocence and Instinct | 3.0 |
| professional production but at the cost of that newband energy. death of me is a rocker but the slow tracks have too many hymnal overtones |
| Scar Symmetry The Singularity - Phase I: Neohumanity | 2.0 |
| this ones actually not that bad tbh. still a 2 |
| Scar Symmetry The Unseen Empire | 1.5 |
| amorphis without the atmosphere or talent |
| Deep Purple Rapture of the Deep | 2.0 |
| decentish pop rock nothings nothin else to it |
| Eluveitie Slania | 4.0 |
| trv fun folk tunes even if the same melody is used as a base for half the tracks m/ |
| Infester Darkness Unveiled | 3.0 |
| eh they did the best they could with what they had |
| Pig Destroyer Phantom Limb | 2.0 |
| on the other hand maybe grind shouldnt have typical song layouts |
| Devin Townsend Empath | 1.0 |
| just as if mcdonalds was a record company all they'd sell is mccore, this is walt disney |
| Scar Symmetry Dark Matter Dimensions | 1.5 |
| same scene edging crap as holo but with more mechuggah |
| Scar Symmetry Symmetric in Design | 2.0 |
| painfully barebones mdm thrown together the best they could by those with no talent |
| Scar Symmetry Pitch Black Progress | 2.5 |
| arch enemy quality mdm infused with unfortunate amounts of mccore n almost annoying autotuned cleans |
| Deep Purple Turning to Crime | 1.0 |
| turning to the other side of the bed bc these rockabilly nothings are zzzzzzzzzzzz |
| Penny Coffin Τέφρα | 2.5 |
| decentish deathdoom, dont care for the symbolic worship, vox arent great, production much better on skeletiko |
| Penny Coffin Τέφρα/Σκελετικό Σκοτάδι | 3.0 |
| rating just the skeletiko skotathi side, too much doom but the tones are pretty nice, jaws is beast |
| Deathspell Omega The Long Defeat | 1.0 |
| band has always sucked in every way, and id even k what this shit is. fuckin b horror movie dialogue with shitty guitar tones for a score? sure as hell aint bm |
| Infester To the Depths... In Degradation | 4.0 |
| legendary heart n soul infesting osdm |
| Meshuggah Koloss | 2.5 |
| dont mind giving this 2.5, highlights in title n demons name but some pretty good rhythms on just about every track |
| RED (JPN) Golden Oath Of Allegiance | 2.0 |
| subpar standard grind not rly worth the time |
| Refused The Shape Of Punk To Come | 2.0 |
| the only thing worth while on this is new noise |
| Red (USA) End of Silence | 3.5 |
| a nu/alt album largely successful bc it follows a simple hard rock formula rather than said nu/alt bullshit. lol @ all the simps unable to handle the omg christians |
| Agoraphobic Nosebleed Agorapocalypse | 2.5 |
| production too clean for grind, too many cleans, girl cant rly scream, too much 'core in the grindcore |
| Agoraphobic Nosebleed Honky Reduction | 2.5 |
| short and to the point wish the tracks went on longer |
| Epica Design Your Universe | 3.5 |
| epica is the most awkwardly composed metal band ever and this is their best, esp when simone goes as high as she can omg |
| Equilibrium Rekreatur | 3.5 |
| how does one follow an album as epic as sagas? one cant, and thus this awkward 'rekreated' album. every facet is essentially a chimera from the art to the title. gone is stang to be replaced with the lovable but much less talented robse, whose vox have an added effect to make them seem harsher than they really are to try to make up for it. thus this album is largely standard symphonic/folk fare with some harsher elements as callbacks, though fahrtwind ( ?? ?? ??) and wenn erdreich bricht are still masterpieces. the volkls would leave next, and one more attempt at a heavy folk album would be made in erdentempel, before the once great pieces of equilibrium were knocked right off their rocker. mindestens es ist alle auf deutsch! bonus acoustics are kind of fun esp blut im auge und heimwarts omg |
| Deep Purple The House of Blue Light | 2.5 |
| best purple up to this point. tight songwriting, good use of keys, not a bad track, listenable butt rock |
| Deep Purple Perfect Strangers | 2.0 |
| yet another string of pop rock nothings, tho the purp are certainly more consistently total flopless than most |
| Equilibrium Erdentempel | 3.5 |
| still a pretty good lp but lost a lot of their power and epicness along the way, just what happens when youre whole lineup changes i guess. robse cool tho. best track is easily sound of our flutes. also was ist dies englisch?!?!?! that the epic 11 min instrum aufbruch is bonus is bullshit, but its not that good anyway |
| Equilibrium Waldschrein | 3.5 |
| pretty good ep giving a clear idea for what was to come |
| Deep Purple Slaves and Masters | 2.0 |
| generic butt rock for all u boomers out there. that this one is rated much lower than any of their other shit is lolz |
| Deep Purple Stormbringer | 1.5 |
| total filler album, nuff said go to bed |
| Equilibrium Renegades (8-Bit) | 3.5 |
| when ur 8 bit album is better than ur actual album. himmel und feuer actually sounds so good, path of destiny is much better. moonlight turns from an unlistenable garbage heap to a slapper, likewise kawaakari. final tear is some intense shit if u were 8 yrs old n u heard that on the final boss omg shit ur pants. hype sounds the same but kawaii, phoenix as well |
| Equilibrium Renegades | 2.5 |
| title is technometal but i like it so a 4 to that; tornado 2.5 who is this cleans guy; himmel ENDLICH EIN WENIG DEUTSCHS! ES KNALLT 4; destiny mr quest seeker ruins this shit and wtf rappers brah?? 2.5; moonlight jesus fuck the worst thing that has this name on it omfg 1.5; kawawawa filler track with more bad singing and cultural appropriation 1.5; johnny b what. the. act. ual. fuck. any. thing. but. this. come. the. fuck. on. motherfuckers.1.; final tear fuck the fucking fucking fuck off with fucking thunberg 2 ignoring that little government pawn ffs go woke go broke u fucking retards; hype train actually slaps julie elven has a sexy voice 3.5; phoenix as it is 2 |
| Deep Purple Come Taste the Band | 2.0 |
| tighter songwriting and more tenor vox make this album pretty much of the same value as all previous |
| Sodom M-16 | 3.0 |
| among the weirdkong is a banger followed by a string of well executed cliches |
| Deep Purple Burn | 1.5 |
| starts decent but then fizzles down to less than ashes with their stupid jazz crap |
| Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are | 2.0 |
| smooth dancer n rat bat blue are the only things unmiring this thing from total obscurity |
| Equilibrium Demo 2003 | 3.5 |
| the record company when handed this demo tape: SHUT UP, TAKE MY MONEY, AND GO ON TO RECORD AMAZING FOLK ALBUMS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT DECADE!!! to which they most literally adhered |
| Equilibrium Turis Fratyr | 4.0 |
| amazing breakout album churning everything that would later become the masterpiece that is sagas |
| Johann Sebastian Bach Toccata No.4 in D minor, BWV 913 | 3.5 |
| too many slow filler parts but generally an amusing and mindful piano piece esp in the last third, screw derpmusiclog |
| Deep Purple Machine Head | 2.0 |
| they start amping it up a bit for a trv 2, but ffs smoke should be the forbidden riff not stairway |
| Deep Purple Whoosh! | 2.0 |
| just kind of whatever jam rock after all these years, isnt horrible best track is nothing at all |
| Rammstein Mutter | 3.0 |
| sonne und ich will are always fun but the rest is decent rockies that u shouldnt ever rly want to hear again unless doing a rammstein discog |
| Deep Purple Fireball | 1.5 |
| if i was a boomer and this was all i had to look forward to i would have ended up listening to nothing but classical my whole life |
| Slipknot All Hope Is Gone | 2.0 |
| only good song is psychosocial what a waste of time |
| Deep Purple Deep Purple In Rock | 2.0 |
| speed king and hard lovin man barely make this scrape a 2 |
| Insomnium Winter's Gate | 3.5 |
| first half is pretty fire but then they get laidback and it fizzles out by the end |
| Insomnium Shadows of the Dying Sun | 3.5 |
| sommy continue their descent though its better than sorrow, highlights in sleep, black heart, words, river, and ephemeral, which sounds a lot tighter than the ep version, title track is garbo |
| Insomnium Ephemeral | 3.0 |
| damn the only actual song is great but it would score higher if it were more ephemeral |
| Insomnium Heart Like a Grave | 3.0 |
| damn an actually bad somnium album. best track was neverlast i guess |
| Bring Me the Horizon There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It... | 2.0 |
| melodies and extra effects are on point, easily best horizon, too bad it all has a mccore base it could have been something pretty good, least cringy cover too, highlight in cursed |
| Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No14 C-sharp minor,Op.27No2 | 4.0 |
| gentle, dark, translucent, one of the first things you'll ever learn to play on piano culminating into the bombastic fury of the 3rd movement, the moonlight sonata will be played long after all the terrible shit you currently listen to and if you dont like it you're deafer than beethoven ever was |
| Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained | 3.0 |
| i mean its alright modern dm cant rly complain cant rly rejoice |
| Morbid Angel Illud Divinum Insanus | 1.5 |
| is that divine insane man trey azagthoth for allowing this midlife crisis to happen? radikult is kind of fun but yea this exists |
| Summoning Stronghold | 3.0 |
| summy do it better than most of their atmoblack contemps but at the same time its too synthy and asmr, more heavy pls |
| Morbid Angel Heretic | 2.5 |
| rly middling dm with some asmr to help those of virgin ears heal? |
| Morbid Angel Gateways to Annihilation | 2.0 |
| this one goes out to all the doomers out there. thanks for making angel make a crappy album u suck |
| Morbid Angel Formulas Fatal to the Flesh | 3.0 |
| a lot of tracks sound like reworked osdm versions of cc songs, some garbage prog, random atmospheric bullshit, goes on for way too long, but chambers of dis and covenant of death trimmed down for the trv parts go ahrd |
| Morbid Angel Domination | 2.5 |
| is it morbid or is it vader? who knows, the angel gettin weird with the only solid track really being title |
| Morbid Angel Covenant | 4.0 |
| morbid angel's magnus opus. simple formula folks, if you dont like covenant you dont like death metal |
| Morbid Angel Blessed Are the Sick | 2.5 |
| a disappointing sophy, like they half assed it after their success with altars. if you swear by this youre kidding yourself. in any case covenant more than made up for it |
| Insomnium Across the Dark | 3.5 |
| certainly the most forgettable of sommy's albums, yet not bad. whoever they hired to do their art from this point on was a mistake though |
| Bring Me the Horizon Suicide Season | 1.5 |
| bmth for most consistently shit album covers ever. much faster and no longer pretending to be something theyre not certainly make this trash heap slightly less smelly than their last, but mccore is as mccore does |
| Bring Me the Horizon Count Your Blessings | 1.0 |
| has some deathish vocal talent but its completely inundated by the mccore everything else. throwing in an occasionally passable mdm riff or even typical death/doom doesnt change this from being mccore as fuck |
| Bring Me the Horizon Amo | 1.0 |
| bring me the borizon...i cant tell if this or a pure mccore album would be worse |
| Gosia Andrzejewicz Wojowniczka | 3.5 |
| peak power pop, better than anything with britney's name on it, track 5 is dedicated to 99% of the sput population |
| Britney Spears Blackout | 1.0 |
| teeters between just gross and vaguely asmrable, definitely peak britney freakout, worst cover, gimme gimme gimme (more) gimme gimme gimme BITCH! |
| Britney Spears Britney | 1.0 |
| total cashgrab/coasting album full of nothing but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
| Britney Spears Femme Fatale | 1.0 |
| wanna go is a trv party track, rest is more like femme banale. swear on how i roll she was saying you can be my fuck tonight instead of thug, and i was like wtf thats a lot more direct than usual britney. also way before nicki u had britney with the big fat bass |
| Britney Spears Circus | 1.5 |
| britney herself sounds good but the rest is bleh. phonography is pretty punny funny tho |
| Marshmello Shockwave | 1.5 |
| so much for the upward momentum. uninspired bangarangs with way too much crap rap thrown in |
| Marshmello Joytime III | 2.5 |
| a definite growth from his first 2 albums. much more dubsteppy, tracks actually sound like songs, thought out and clearly worked on. dont listen to doublez he has virgin ears |
| Marshmello RIGHT | 2.5 |
| find me to bounce better than anything on his 1st 2 lps for sure |
| Marshmello Joytime | 2.0 |
| asmr techno not much more to it |

| same ol' murphys highlights in memorial day and chair |
| Dropkick Murphys The Warrior's Code | 3.0 |
| spirit, title n auld triangle bring the jams, rest in mildly fun irish banging |
| Belmont Aftermath | 1.5 |
| really wish this was the electro video game themed lolcore i thought it would be. country girl is prob the least cringe thing on here tbh |
| Cerebral Rot Excretion Of Mortality | 2.0 |
| autopsy clone, cant give this more than a 2 le sigh |
| Accept Balls to the Wall | 3.0 |
| best trad metal/hard rox vox, legendary title is the star here |
| Accept Metal Heart | 3.0 |
| love udo and all the extra instruments they incorporate, just needs moar POWAA, bound to fail is epic |
| Disturbed The Sickness | 2.5 |
| got that young band energy, makes everything decently fun for a spin but nothing playlist worthy no matter how many oo ah ah ah ahs have spewed from lips in the past 2 decades |
| Acrid Tomb Acrid Tomb | 3.0 |
| pretty good, appreciate the old school production tho that snare sounds like their band name smells, nice chunky riffs, vox could be better but it works, nice solo in knock by night |
| Disturbed Ten Thousand Fists | 1.5 |
| decentish nude metally hard rock but goes on for way too long cmon bro ur not writing a symphony |
| Belmont Belmont | 1.5 |
| traditional whiny emocore with occasional moments |
| Scar Symmetry Holographic Universe | 1.5 |
| a shitty conglomeration of autotuned annoyingly high pitched cleans, mccore song structures, and riffs consisting entirely of bridge sections |
| Marshmello Roll The Dice | 1.0 |
| shitty rap with no apparent contribution from the confection |
| Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar | 1.5 |
| hate anthem and beautiful ppl are fun but then it goes on for an hour of more gothicky korn like why |

| Scorpions In Trance | 1.5 |
| other than dark lady just the same prog rock horseshit |
| Scorpions Fly to the Rainbow | 1.5 |
| has its moments but only marginally better than their joke of a debut |
| Scorpions Taken by Force | 2.5 |
| would to god this was their debut instead of those first four catastrophes |
| Scorpions Virgin Killer | 1.5 |
| one of the most illegal album covers ever just to promote some of the worst rock of all time |
| Scorpions Lonesome Crow | 1.0 |
| like every other boomer bands debut this is some shitty jam rock. have to wonder what mid century music would have been if weed culture never became a thing |
| Corpsegrinder Corpsegrinder | 3.5 |
| simpler structures and far more groovy make this better than any actual cc album get rekt get shrekt |
| Hath All That Was Promised | 3.0 |

| Marshmello Joytime II | 2.0 |
| indeed marshy and mello-y, asmr 'lectrobop |
| Machine Head Arrows in Words from the Sky | 3.0 |
| damn this is actually good, prob just raising the stakes for a total thrashcore album again tho |
| The Birthday Massacre Violet | 2.0 |
| a collection of synthpop nothings trying to reach higher but largely failing, with blue the only standout track. almost good tracks include happy birthday, horror show, video kid and dream |
| Dark Tranquillity The Absolute | 1.5 |
| well this was fucking boring |
| Machine Head Through the Ashes of Empires | 1.5 |
| yet another nude muddley thrashcore abomination |
| Glasya Attarghan | 3.5 |
| the narration is better than most actually since he adds a dark gruffness to it, an interesting story too set in ancient assyria. omg dual female-male vox. and shes a soprano fuck yeah, some growls epica style |
| Machine Head Bloodstone and Diamonds | 3.0 |
| another 3 for the machine. sounds like a harder flames n im a sucker for classical strings. game over is such a punky jam |

| Machine Head The More Things Change... | 2.0 |
| a more rocky korn, certainly better than anything they ever did |
| Machine Head Catharsis | 1.0 |
| they go in a few diff directions but its mostly mccore n trash thrash, kaleidoscope is alright but album goes on way too long trying the patience |
| Machine Head The Burning Red | 1.5 |
| worthless korny nude muddle omg |
| Mortification Post Momentary Affliction | 2.5 |
| now this is where they started going off their rocker. kind just half assed deathrash that should be better than it is but everything is all meh or bleh with overseer perhaps being the only exception. bonus butchered mutilation is the only thing worth keeping, a trv cc song if there ever was one |
| Mortification Break the Curse | 3.0 |
| nothing too grand on here but worth a listen for that early 90s production and deathrash attempt |
| Mortification Mortification | 3.5 |
| raw deathrash in vein of seven churches with better vox but weaker writing overall |
| Britney Spears Glory | 1.5 |
| eh all party pop nothings with the exception of liar, excellent production tho |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars Up In Them Guts | 2.5 |
| like their other albums have some cool parts but for the most part just oddly tuned hardish punk being hipster just for the sake of being hipster |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars Prey | 2.0 |
| damn they peaked a decade earlier n came back just to put out this generic garbo |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars Fuck With Fire | 2.5 |
| some cool tracks but soon meander into mediocrity |
| Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac | 3.0 |
| some huge hits mired in the bog of mediocrity |
| DragonForce Inhuman Rampage | 4.0 |
| ON A COLD WINTER MORNING, IN THE TIME BEFORE THE LIGHT IN FLAMES OF DEATH'S ETERNAL REIGN, WE RIDE TOWARDS THE FIGHT WHEN THE DARKNESS HAS FALLEN DOWN, AND THE TIMES ARE TOUGH ALL RIGHT THE SOUND OF EVIL LAUGHTER FALLS AROUND THE WORLD TONIGHT FIGHTING HARD, FIGHTING ON FOR THE STEEL, THROUGH THE WASTELANDS EVERMORE THE SCATTERED SOULS WILL FEEL THE HELL, BODIES WASTED ON THE SHORES ON THE BLACKEST PLAINS IN HELL'S DOMAIN, WE WATCH THEM AS THEY GO IN FIRE AND PAIN, NOW ONCE AGAIN, WE KNOW SO NOW WE FLY EVER FREE WE'RE FREE BEFORE THE THUNDERSTORM ON TOWARDS THE WILDERNESS, OUR QUEST CARRIES ON FAR BEYOND THE SUNDOWN, FAR BEYOND THE MOONLIGHT DEEP INSIDE OUR HEARTS AND ALL OUR SOULS SO FAR AWAY, WE WAIT FOR THE DAY FOR THE LIVES ALL SO WASTED AND GONE WE FEEL THE PAIN OF A LIFETIME LOST IN A THOUSAND DAYS THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES, WE CARRY ON AS THE RED DAY IS DAWNING AND THE LIGHTNING CRACKS THE SKY THEY'LL RAISE THEIR HANDS TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE WITH RESENTMENT IN THEIR EYES RUNNING BACK THROUGH THE MID-MORNING LIGHT THERE'S A BURNING IN MY HEART WE'RE BANISHED FROM A TIME IN A FALLEN LAND TO A LIFE BEYOND THE STARS IN YOUR DARKEST DREAMS SEE TO BELIEVE OUR DESTINY THIS TIME AND ENDLESSLY WE'LL ALL BE FREE TONIGHT AND ON THE WINGS OF A DREAM, SO FAR BEYOND REALITY ALL ALONE IN DESPERATION, NOW THE TIME HAS GONE LOST INSIDE, YOU'LL NEVER FIND, LOST WITHIN MY OWN MIND DAY AFTER DAY THIS MISERY MUST GO ON SO FAR AWAY, WE WAIT FOR THE DAY FOR THE LIVES ALL SO WASTED AND GONE WE FEEL THE PAIN OF A LIFETIME LOST IN A THOUSAND DAYS THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES, WE CARRY ON |

| holy death metal to resurrect your soul |
| Silk Sonic An Evening with Silk Sonic | 1.0 |
| this sucks and i want it stop. forever |
| Illvilja As the World Sleeps | 3.0 |
| debut actually showed some potential, too bad it didnt show up again until his 4th |
| Britney Spears ...Baby One More Time | 2.0 |
| not worth much beyond title and that distinct late 90s vibe |
| Illvilja The Absence of Light | 2.5 |
| his sophomore is pretty basic not much going on here |
| Britney Spears Britney Jean | 2.5 |
| a more mature foray into her typical sweet but sexy with a highlight in perfume |
| Sabaton Swedish Empire Live | 3.5 |
| pretty damn good live album joakim is hype |
| Sabaton World War Live: Battle of the Baltic Sea | 3.5 |
| concerts across the baltic is pretty badass, lots of swedish and sounds like a fun time, world war tour is just like any other live album tho |
| Illvilja I stormens öga | 3.0 |
| much more middling than his later albums, no highlights just reg atmoblack |
| Illvilja In Winters Cold | 3.5 |
| more good atmoblack that doesnt reach quite high enough to really stand out. hunger is the best track |
| Al-Namrood Atba'a Al-Namrood | 3.5 |
| title track is so good omg. rest is good arab influenced black metal that could get them killed at any time /m/ |
| Antestor Martyrium | 4.0 |
| a trvly gloomy doomy black metal fest reverred with shining hope, spiritual disease sets the atmosphere, depressed and thoughts include somber piano and flute intros respectively leading into heartwretching anguish, and mercy lord organizes the soul to the heavens. a masterful album |
| Illvilja The Bitter Longing | 3.5 |
| pretty chill atmoblack |
| Sabaton The Great War (The Soundtrack Edition) | 2.5 |
| really didnt go anywhere with this. i expected some epic symphonies but its just a pointless add on |
| Sabaton Carolus Rex | 3.0 |
| was better in swedish but still a handful of good jams |
| Non Est Deus Impious | 3.5 |
| pretty good trad bm sounding like a more melodic version of dark funeral |
| Sabaton The War To End All Wars | 3.5 |
| my epic review is epic. highlights in stormtroopers, unkillable soldier, lady of the dark, and christmas truce |
| Illvilja Endless Rivers | 3.0 |
| basically graveland x early dimmu. nothing too interesting but some pretty good parts on truth and dark waters is a keeper |
| 3776 Saijiki | 1.0 |
| the theme song to every anime ever watched in your moms basement (while we were upstairs) driving over a cliff and staying there, not even an explosion as the gas tank was empty. good if you want to be bored for over an hour, w/e bs number games played irrelevant and pointless |
| Sabaton Fist For Fight | 3.0 |
| combination of their first demo and some songs off their first few albums. as such not rly much better or worse, but does feature hellrider, thunderstorm, and easily their best track of their early years (though unreleased until 2010) in birds of war |
| Sabaton Attero Dominatus | 3.0 |
| official sabby sophomore pretty avg for them but highlights in title and nuclear attk. bonus cover of fur immers also pretty good n l?nga is nice if u want to hear some swedish |
| Sabaton Coat of Arms | 3.5 |
| pretty good sabaton with highlights in screaming eagles Ca-CAW BITCH, aces in exile, wehrmacht, and white death with its hawt bodomy solo section |
| Sabaton Metalizer | 3.0 |
| the album that was supposed to be their debut (dem record company shenanigans) highlights are 7734 and thunderstorm |
| Sabaton The Great War | 4.0 |
| all around good album climaxing in red baron |
| Sabaton The Art of War | 3.0 |
| much more middling album with a highlight in ghost division |
| Sabaton Carolus Rex (Swedish Version) | 3.5 |
| everything is better in swedish, highlights everything from en livstid to ett slag |
| Sabaton Primo Victoria | 3.0 |
| sabby just getting into their niche with highlights in counterstrike n stalingrad |
| Sabaton The Last Stand | 4.0 |
| bros u got hussars, sparta, scotland, last stand, shiroyama, and no real filler diller tracks this album is bomb and ur a loser if u cant get into it |
| Sabaton Heroes | 3.0 |
| bros whenever u feel down just plug in sabaton and realize u could be epic instead |
| Planes Mistaken for Stars Mercy | 2.5 |
| cool cover but odd muziks, sounds muted with interesting but not impactful raspy shout vox. riffs arent too interesting save for parts on killed by killers |
| Ahoy Polybius | 1.0 |
| damn boring but not as offensively bad as first vid game |
| Ahoy Flatline: How the Amiga Languished | 2.0 |
| much better asmr album than their most recent release, some cool tracks just chillin |
| Ahoy The First Video Game | 1.0 |
| some boring ass asmr they do it way better on yt |
| Chris Maragoth Lost and Separated | 2.5 |
| chris weebagoth is the epitome of total shit vocals completely obliterating otherwise decent tunes on the first 2 tracks, shattered an instr but not as interesting, without you thank god has female guest vox |
| Chris Maragoth In the Mix | 1.0 |
| holy fuck not even done with this yet he really needs to stfu. ok yea so this remix collection is a total disaster gj |
| Chris Maragoth Burning June | 2.5 |
| rating based in addition to his other singles in entrance, hoping for salvation, and behind this door. entrance is pretty win if short and stopping unnecessarily abruptly, motherfucker cant sing on the other tracks tho and should stick to his piano bits, voice makes him sound like the loser weeb he appears to be |
| Arch Enemy Rare and Unreleased | 1.5 |
| liiva and amott taking turns sucking balls, and cover looks like actual shit |
| Arch Enemy Covered In Blood | 2.5 |
| not even that bad tbh, tho thats more owing to the nature of the songs themselves. actually quite like zoo and more or less wings. 3 vox on 1 album, but liiva is esp bad in his covers obv he dgaf |
| Arch Enemy Will to Power | 2.0 |
| yea so this ones pretty boring save world and eagle so much for new vox |
| Arch Enemy War Eternal | 3.0 |
| the best overall ae album, how did this happen? well unlike gossow alyssa has singing talent, disregarding the lame ass lyrics they adhere to. riffs seem recast along with their new singer despite being usual ae fare with amotts diddling everywhere, and i cant say i hate tracks like never forgive, title, pages, name, or avalanche. 5 decentish to good tracks not brought too far down by the more fillery songs, and thus a 3 it will be |
| Arch Enemy The Root of All Evil | 2.5 |
| as rerecordings in 2009 they naturally sound better, tho the difference between gossow and liiva is minimal since they both sucked at singing anyway. nevertheless immortal sounds decent, and dead inside and silverwing have quite the facelift |
| Arch Enemy Khaos Legions | 2.5 |
| more decentish riffs than not. yesterday to black flags is listenable, raven isnt bad, and neither is vengeance. the filler shit isnt as badly filler tho the guitar tone is off putting |
| Arch Enemy Rise of the Tyrant | 2.0 |
| has blood on ur hands, revolution, n vultures (prob gossow's best performance and likely best ae song despite the filler sections) but the rest are the usual amott/gossow fuckups |
| Pantera Vulgar Display of Power | 1.5 |
| the only thing worse than tapped out metallica is imitating tapped out metallica |
| Insomnium Since the Day It All Came Down | 4.5 |
| near perfect album, peak melodeath |
| Arghoslent Hornets of the Pogrom | 3.5 |
| if george fisher actually had talent and heartwork was actually worked on. highlights in manacled freightage and esp the grenadier |
| Die Antwoord Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid | 1.5 |
| ALL I WANT IS WINGS ON MY MOTHAFUCKIN PENIS |
| Insomnium Above the Weeping World | 4.0 |
| first couple songs are generic af but it picks up and holds on, heart to grave is damn solid. not as good as debut tho |
| Omnium Gatherum Grey Heavens | 3.5 |
| The Pit 3.5; Skyline so simple but so good omg 4; Frontiers also simple but so fuckin good one of their best songs 5; Majesty 3.5 rare that i should be giving such a track such a score; Rejuvenate 4; Foundation ugh idk its good but bad but good but slow honestly cant go higher than 3; Great Liberation 3.5 but that piano sequence is horrible; Ophidian same deal as foundation 3; Title decentish instrum 3; Storm Front 3.5 |
| Die Antwoord Donker Mag | 2.0 |
| best antwoord, actually get jammy on this one |
| Insomnium In the Halls of Awaiting | 4.0 |
| such a solid mdm debut every track worth spinning mwah |
| Omnium Gatherum Steal the Light | 3.0 |
| again solid ep with highlights in wastrel, ammo & lost n found, but the vox keep it from being stellar |
| Omnium Gatherum Spirits And August Light | 3.0 |
| solid but lackluster debut mostly taken down by shitty shitty at the gates vox, highlights in perfumed garden ( ? ?? ?) and wastrel |
| Die Antwoord House of Zef | 1.0 |
| best rap album ever? best rap album ever. fo'get yo 2pac, fo'get yo notowius bee-eye-gee, dis is dah shiiitttttt |
| Suicide Silence No Time to Bleed | 1.0 |
| a stern reminder of why i dont listen to this shit. and then she bled is a pretty good pointer of how useless the 911 system is tho |
| Bring Me the Horizon Sempiternal | 1.5 |
| slightly better than the usual mccore owing to someones love for programming |
| Graveland Necromanteion | 1.0 |
| what is this even idk. shoddy black doom with blood ov thee christ influences |
| Graveland Drunemeton | 1.5 |
| some mild wannabe burzum fillery shit |
| Graveland 1050 Years of Pagan Cult | 4.0 |
| rerecordings of some of gravelands earliest works and some damn good epic black metal m/ |
| Dream Theater Images and Words | 2.0 |
| an unfortunate combination of maiden priest and phish trv rating 1 |
| Machine Head Burn My Eyes | 1.5 |
| korny trv trash thrash |
| Drudkh A Few Lines in Archaic Ukrainian | 3.0 |
| actually rate the comp u dipshits. golden horse is pretty tight but otherwise drony drudkh |
| Avril Lavigne Love Sux | 1.5 |
| wtf is with all these teen punk bands only releasing half hour albums modern day. ok yea like someone else said whats with the rap. anyway catalogue of pop punk nothings but hope she finds her trv lvv someday |
| Avril Lavigne The Best Damn Thing | 2.0 |
| yet another pop punk album that doesnt have much beyond its hits. i dont have to try sounds like a cute feminine version of a bodom song tho might actually listen to that one in real time |
| Graveland The Spirit Never Dies | 1.5 |
| nothing rly all that great on either side tbh |
| Graveland Immortal Pride | 1.5 |
| lesser burzum with inquisition vox ugh |
| Graveland Dawn of Iron Blades | 1.5 |
| polish version is better |
| Graveland Ogień Wilczych Serc | 3.0 |
| the bia?y vite? side much better than the graveland side, much more folky than the motions going gland with a highlight in na swoj miecz |
| Graveland Cold Winter Blades | 3.0 |
| pretty solid ep. the asian guitar on white winged hussary is particularly beautiful |
| Nokturnal Mortum To Lunar Poetry | 4.0 |
| damn good folk black metal SLAVA UKRAINI |
| Graveland Impaler's Wolves | 2.5 |
| decent enough cradle style atmoblack with a nice ominous church bell but weak vox |
| Graveland Epilogue | 1.5 |
| mix of basic synth black and a crappier version of early immortal |
| Green Day Dookie | 2.5 |
| one amazing hit in the epic canon cover that is basket case and a mild banger in come around, then the rest is the result of doing nothing but smoking green all fucking day |
| Jimmy Eat World Futures | 2.0 |
| no hits just below average pop rocks |
| Graveland Fire Chariot of Destruction | 3.0 |
| on par with gland's other better shit, war wolf is pure win |
| Entombed Left Hand Path | 4.0 |
| swedeath metal classic galore |
| Kim Petras Slut Pop | 1.0 |
| if cardi b and pirate were the same person. bruh i never end my last clause with a period. neither does kim petras |
| Three Days Grace Human | 2.0 |
| i am machine is win sandwiched by a bunch of emo pop nothings |
| Fuath I | 3.0 |
| same as ii but rawer |
| Fuath II | 3.0 |
| avg atmoblack |
| Bodom After Midnight Paint the Sky With Blood | 4.0 |
| Paint the Sky with BLOOD 4; Payback 4; Dead Angels stream cleaned 3.5 |
| Children of Bodom Hexed | 3.0 |
| Road 3 mellow metal almost buttrock but enjoyable; Grass & Clover 3 same as road but with more twang and a catchier chorus; Glass 2 garbo filler track; Hecate post ironically fun 4; Spleen a weak throwback to in your face but fun and too trv all the same 4; Platitudes one of the goddamn most annoying songs they've ever written with the most hashed chorus and yet i dont hate it 3; Title hashed in neoclassical stuff for the sake of the old days but it sounds good so 3 still just kind of mehleasant; Relapse is this even a track? 1.5 pure white noise, officially my lowest rated and thus worst bodom song; Never Look another garbo filler track should be the theme song for sesame street 2; Soon Departed perfect ballad only beaten by angels, perfect sense of rhythm, flow, tone, lyricism, and pathos. the only imperfection is that it suddenly ends abruptly instead of gradually fading out, same problem with tie my rope from being a completely perfect song. Knuckleduster: one of the best and most badass tracks theyve ever recorded, rawer version on the ep is better but this one still packs the soul n punch of the original 5. live bonus tracks suck, knuckle remix is archetype lolz |
| Children of Bodom I Worship Chaos | 3.5 |
| Hurt 3.5 but sounds hollow, great drops; Bodom 3 but also hollow; Morrigan 3.5 but sounds cheap; Horns 3 same hollowness; Prayer one of not one but TWO ballads on the album whoa, more than a little poignant 3.5 but still has that same awkwardness of the others; Title easily best track 5 despite the cheese keys; Tongue 2 fucking garbage filler song; Suicide Bomber 2.5 another awkward dud janne's keys the only thing saving it from oblivion; All for Nothing 3 tighter but somehow more awkward breakup ballad, even the unusually long piano solo not rly adding up to the epicness it ought, just kind of eh; Widdershins actual epic track easy ass 5. covers arent worth much |
| Bowling for Soup Drunk Enough To Dance | 2.0 |
| gots girl n i ran cover is a perfect 5 but not part of the orig album so it doesnt count. tracks up to surf colorado decent but after that just plummets into generic dross |
| The Killers Hot Fuss | 3.0 |
| ya got jenny, brightside, somebody, n everything alongside a slew of meh pop punk |
| Jimmy Eat World Bleed American | 2.5 |
| inoffensive mellow pop punk by some clean cut white boys that your whole family can enjoy. too many ballads though |
| The Notorious B.I.G. Ready to Die | 2.0 |
| generic rap only considered legendary cuz big got shot. best track is prob everyday struggle. cute baby |
| Children of Bodom Halo of Blood | 3.5 |
| Waste of Skin 4; Title 4; Scream 2.5 hate that opening riff so much; Transference 5 epic; Blue Moon 3 generic for bodom, whats with the unnecessarily long ass title?; Days 3 another generic for bodom track; Dead Man's 3 cute/creepy track kind of awkward and odd for bodom; Damaged 2 pure filler track one of their worst ever; All Twisted 3 more generic bodom; One Bottle 3.5 generic but fun. sleeping in my car cover is pretty win |
| Immolation Acts of God | 1.5 |
| ugh yet another bore of an immolation album. goes on for too long as well like why not add some more breakdowns whydontcha |
| Obscure Sphinx Void Mother | 1.5 |
| some interesting moments but mostly just a slow wave mccore band pretending to be metal with some stereotypically egyptian influences. naturally it goes on for way too long as well |
| Graveland Will Stonger Than Death | 2.5 |
| such dorky album covers. anyway more of a middling album with a highlight in battle of the giants, some nice atmospheric female vox (his wife?) on that track |
| Graveland Wotan Wit Mir | 3.0 |
| an actually good ep, like a mellower immortal. rainbow bridge is pure win. cant believe the extra-triggerable blood faithful to soil is actually on spotify |
| Graveland Memory and Destiny | 1.5 |
| some shitty bathorycore. get triggered bitches. this is a nazi website for hosting this shit, not to the mention the fact that being named after a soviet space project makes the host a stalinist commie |
| The Birthday Massacre Walking With Strangers | 2.5 |
| red stars is a 5 star song and my favourite by them, while looking glass is pretty good and kill the lights is decent. unfortunately the hits end there, though this is their best album overall |
| The Birthday Massacre Fascination | 1.0 |
| why is everything purple. anyway everything theyve done before but worse. very boring "edgy" synth pop. ugh and we have more than the necessary teen relationship songs. arent these guys in their 40s by now? IS ANYONE HERE ANYMORE? IS ANYONE REAL ANYMORE? are those questions concerning their fanbase? |
| Sgaile Ideals & Morality | 4.0 |
| a flock of seagulls gone metal, tony dunn sounds a lot like mike score. highlights in enlighten me & kick louder |
| KISS Dynasty | 1.5 |
| one big hit followed by a trail of completely forgettable airy rock nothings |
| Omnium Gatherum Stuck Here on Snakes Way | 3.0 |
| a middling album by a band still finding its way (hence being stuck?), though certainly taking a progressive step ahead with the addition of jukka. nothing too impressive but not a completely uninteresting feat either |
| Omnium Gatherum The Burning Cold | 4.0 |
| consistent melodeath album of icy burn |
| Omnium Gatherum The Redshift | 3.0 |
| the album that put them on the map with jukka pelkonen. some real bangers like nail, shadowkey, and shapes n shades, but also bummers like cham skin (but he says snake skin...?), breaking point, and return. lmaaaoooooo that nail live wtf |
| Omnium Gatherum New World Shadows | 4.0 |
| dark, slow, and penetrating, with their usual turtle-rabbit song structures and everyday lyrics. cant go wrong with jukka era omnium |
| Graveland Spears of Heaven | 2.5 |
| lmaoooo at that cover art. another bathory impersonation with some additional flicks and more dog growls |
| Graveland Thousand Swords | 2.5 |
| a more classic bm bathory sound |
| Graveland Świt Stalowych Ostrzy | 3.0 |
| polish edition of dawn of iron blades. certainly the most standout graveland album, highlight in u boku walkirii. has a bit of a different musical tone than the rest. pretty funny spot has this but not the english version derp |
| Graveland Pamięć i Przeznaczenie | 2.5 |
| more slightly more bm bathory |
| Ingranaggi Della Valle In Hoc Signo | 1.0 |
| completely derided and destroyed of all its good elements by retarded prog |
| Omnium Gatherum Years in Waste | 2.5 |
| above average tunes completely ruined by an inexperienced at the gates-esque singer. if they hadnt picked up jukka prob never wouldve gone anywhere. this seriously needs a rerecording |
| Killswitch Engage The End of Heartache | 1.0 |
| you can always tell a band is mccore without listening to them bc they always have the most retarded names. oh rate the music? what music? |
| Graveland Creed of Iron | 2.5 |
| english version of prawo stali. gets .5 less for english lyrics, bonus tracks on remaster fillery dough |
| Graveland Prawo Stali | 3.0 |
| polish version of creed of iron. 2nd best graveland, as good as bathory's best albums. bonus tracks on remaster are fillery though, sounds better in polish |
| Sororicide The Entity | 2.0 |
| slow, quiet, cookie cutter death doom from the riffs to their band name |
| Die Antwoord Ten$ion | 1.5 |
| bringin their troll rap to life! i fink u freeky is almost fun but goes on for too long |
| Deicide Overtures of Blasphemy | 3.5 |
| pretty good solid dm in the vein of improved versions of their last 2 albums |
| Deicide In the Minds of Evil | 3.0 |
| another to hell with god album, not as good but basically the same |
| Deicide To Hell With God | 3.0 |
| not bad but nothing great, like a half assed attempt at making another stench but with plenty of leftovers from till death |
| Children of Bodom Are You Dead Yet? | 4.0 |
| Living Dead Beat 5 such a good song to walk to; Title 4.5 dat introspective poetry; Peace 4 dat roman adage; Punch 3.5 weirdest ballad but ok; In Your Face 55555555 radio edit is *bleeping* hilarious; Next In Line 2.5 one of their shittiest songs; Bastards 4 obnoxiously good; Trashed 4 also obnoxiously good; Fall 3.5 some of the most retarded lyrics alexi's ever spewed but who fuckin cares |
| Deicide The Stench of Redemption | 5.0 |
| Relentless riffs and enticing melodies make this beast a treat to behold. The perfect death metal album m/ |
| Deicide In Torment in Hell | 2.5 |
| just some plain boring dm that isnt quite baseless |
| Deicide Insineratehymn | 3.0 |
| cannibal corpse worship, but also better than anything cc have ever done |
| Amorphis Tales from the Thousand Lakes | 3.0 |
| raw unpolished 'morphis. unconventional songwriting unseen in anything else that can be considered death metal, but also not too amazing overall |
| Deicide Once Upon the Cross | 2.0 |
| no idea what happened here. 3 years after legion and it's just this plain dm sound. did they have so much success they didnt even bother trying? wonder if they'd sound better at the actual speed they were meant to be played at. plain as hell cover too |
| Mithotyn In the Sign of the Ravens | 3.0 |
| good black folk without any highlights |
| Amorphis Halo | 2.5 |
| some jams like dark waters and the moon but theyve done much better, too many plain slow sections |
| Deicide Till Death Do Us Part | 1.5 |
| damn went completely generic on this one they get bored of killing god or what |
| Necrophagist Epitaph | 1.0 |
| more noodles than your mom's spaghetti (i should know that's what we had last night). what can be said about the infamous epitaph? unoriginal, uninspired, mindless, pointless. cant even be considered death metal as it's really only recycled gibberish from every techthrash band ever's disposal heap. only half decent track is stabwound since they decided at least one had to resemble a song. everything else is boring, lighthearted riffs meant to inspire none but the audibly redundant. they even had to steal some of prokofiev's romeo and juliet to make ash in any way palatable. it's no wonder this was their last album bored themselves to death |
| Deicide Serpents of the Light | 3.0 |
| a lesser 3 but still good despite all the deathrap and partial motions going of some songs |
| Deicide Legion | 3.0 |
| raw and immature but still good |
| Deicide Scars of the Crucifix | 3.5 |
| death metal as it should be with direction and purpose |
| Oxygen Destroyer Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death | 3.0 |
| pretty good dm but weak ass vox a la jeff walker |
| Mithotyn Gathered Around the Oaken Table | 3.0 |
| not as good as forest, rly just some mediocre mdm with occasional black vox. clearly he got bored and went on to falconer |
| Equilibrium Armageddon | 3.0 |

| The Rolling Stones Dirty Work | 1.5 |
| yet another album of pop rock nothings |
| Arch Enemy Doomsday Machine | 2.0 |
| as usual amott ruins a lot of otherwise good or great tracks, lyrics are terrible all around, nemesis is fun and easily their most uplifting, my apocalypse is a boss room battle |
| Arch Enemy Anthems of Rebellion | 2.0 |
| dead eyes is the best track with amott fuckups at minimum, rise is decent, but other than that a whole heap of mdm hash trash |
| The Rolling Stones Blue and Lonesome | 1.5 |
| shitty modern stones album is shitty modern stones album. hopefully the last one, but knowing the relentless masturbation of the pop rock industry even when jagger dies they'll likely release about a thousand posthumous records of w/e the fuck they find lying around |
| Arch Enemy Wages of Sin | 2.0 |
| nice red album cover, enemy is a great song, amott ruins a lot of whats on here as he does anything he's involved with resulting in mid songs that could have been good as well as a lot of abominations |
| Omnium Gatherum Beyond | 3.5 |
| Luoto 3.5 amazing instrum; New D 4; Rim 3; Night 2.5 mostly a long nothing; Formidable 3; Sonic 3.5; Who Could 4; Unknow 3; Living 4.5; White 2.5 another long nothing. subdivisions cover is garbage |

| The Rolling Stones December's Children (And Everybody's) | 1.5 |
| the more they write their own songs the better the album is. got cloud n tears on this one |

| Der Weg Einer Freiheit Finisterre | 2.5 |
| yet another unimpressive middling modern bm effort |
| Der Weg Einer Freiheit Stellar | 2.5 |
| i guess their debut was just a fluke. verbund is a jam but the rest is standard atmo black with agalloch influences |
| Graven Image Demo 1987 | 3.0 |
| Better than what they did as spectral incursion. decent rockin old school techthrash. the track spectral incursion itself is bomb |
| Spectral Incursion Nowhere Fast | 2.5 |
| visions and constant velocity are real bangers, rest is decently passable techthrash |
| Spectral Incursion Middle of Nowhere | 2.5 |
| not bad techthrash too bad they never made a real studio album |

| alright but nothing special |

| Unleashed Odalheim | 2.5 |
| another of their more decent albums employing some almost black riffs |
| Unleashed No Sign of Life | 1.5 |
| pretty bad. just the same rehashed more thrashish deathrash but with better prod |
| Boards of Canada Geogaddi | 2.0 |
| this is just ambient videogame music trv rating 1 |
| Alice in Chains Facelift | 1.0 |
| certainly the least important and most boring of the 90s rock bands |
| Unleashed Midvinterblot | 2.0 |
| nothing bad but nothing that great either. typical unleashed |
| Unleashed Shadows in the Deep | 2.5 |
| a lot better and much more straight up death metally than their other albums |
| Unleashed Across the Open Sea | 3.5 |
| rocky rolly deathrash that churns the seas, best songs in to asgaard, northern lands, and esp the general |
| Boards of Canada The Campfire Headphase | 2.0 |
| decentish asmr rock |
| Unleashed Hammer Battalion | 1.5 |
| this one's quite boring tho. mix of discount aa and just bleh deathrash |
| Unleashed The Hunt For White Christ | 2.5 |
| this one's actually decent. some good fun without anything amazing |
| Unleashed Victory | 1.5 |
| a heavily discounted vader |
| Methadone Skies Eclectic Electric | 1.0 |
| terrible. the least inspired and most phlegmatic of their records. too many horrible vox and motions going |
| Methadone Skies Colosseus | 1.5 |
| certainly among the least of their efforts |
| Methadone Skies Different Layers of Fear | 2.5 |
| some vox on this one, but it's honestly better without them. goes on for a little too long |
| Methadone Skies Enter The Void | 3.0 |
| pretty decent drony asmr rock |
| Alice Cooper School's Out | 2.5 |
| silly but adventurous and fun |
| 1914 Eschatology of War | 2.5 |
| some average black doom with too many interludes. glad they changed it afterwards |
| 1914 The Blind Leading the Blind | 3.5 |
| pretty good blackened death a la behemoth, but has way too many interludes and little smudgeons here and there |
| Korn Requiem | 1.0 |
| in flames released yet another shitty album but at least it's only a half hour this time |
| Acid Witch Witchtanic Hellucinations | 2.0 |
| a better, more halloweeny, and actually listenable demilich. witchblood cult and black witch are jams |
| Unleashed Where No Life Dwells | 1.5 |
| sum rly bad deaf metul |
| Torres Thirstier | 2.0 |
| drive me n dino hug are decent, keep the devil out is a party |
| The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating Infinity | 1.0 |
| more like the dillinger go fuck yourself plan. the ultimate hipster album |
| Billy Talent Dead Silence | 3.0 |
| only bad songs are stand and show me. everything else still fun but def doesnt have the impact of a decade ago |
| Underoath Define the Great Line | 1.0 |
| yep this is mccore alright |
| Rippikoulu Musta Seremonia | 3.0 |
| confession school make some decent death doom, but wish it had a bit more power to it |
| Linkin Park Hybrid Theory | 2.5 |
| the album that started a new millenium of nude muddle, only with you is worth commonplace spins |
| Kanye West Yeezus | 1.0 |
| just a kid playing with a synthesizer |
| Wedrujacy Wiatr Zorzysta Staje Ocma | 3.0 |
| more of that synthy drone bm. not too amazing but is decent overall with some folky moments. cool album cover |
| Drudkh Blood In Our Wells | 3.0 |
| pretty average and too drony until vichnist' and ukrayins'ka. awesome alt cover art |
| A Flock of Seagulls Ascension | 2.5 |

| Mgla Exercises in Futility | 4.0 |

| Radiohead OK Computer | 2.0 |
| hippie nirvana. more like shut down computer bc its 25 years old and can barely run this shit trv rating 1 |
| Paul Brandt This Time Around | 2.5 |
| CAUSE WE GOT A MIGHTY CONVOY ROCKIN' THROUGH THE NIGHT! YEAH WE GOT A MIGHTY CONVOY, AIN'T SHE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT? COME ON JOIN OUR CONVOY AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA GET IN OUR WAY |
| A Flock of Seagulls The Light At The End Of The World | 2.5 |
| first 4 tracks are a good little new wave gauntlet, with burning up and rainfall exemplifying their hot/cold duo into afos' top 10 tracks, but from then on it becomes plainer and plainer until a couple of random karate kid instrumentals at the end |
| A Flock of Seagulls Listen | 3.0 |
| wishing is a gorgeous track but everything after is strictly middle of the road, neither heading into the speed lane nor lagging in the cruiser |
| A Flock of Seagulls The Story of a Young Heart | 2.5 |
| now this one doesnt even have a hit to justify its existence. meanders between mid and kind of good with the best track by far in remember david. a lot of great instrumentation is ruined by random lyrical topics and a lack of inspiration |
| Outre-Tombe Nécrovortex | 2.0 |
| just kind of run of the mill dm with a cool cover |
| Every Time I Die Radical | 1.0 |
| the bruhiest of all the bruhs bruh |
| A Flock of Seagulls Dream Come True | 2.0 |
| this is fucking silly. some good instrumentation esp in the first half but its so janky and uninspired and cringe |
| Blood Ov Thee Christ Master Control | 1.0 |
| could only find the first 2 tracks, but 52 minutes of this is more than enough. yes i actually listened to the whole thing. tbh it's better than most drone and prob most techdeth. at least the guy does different things throughout, tho pleasure & pain is quite creepy. do not recommend a second spin except to show everyone you know |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END! | 1.0 |
| ah finally the end. so much blah makes me actually want to listen to techdeth |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Luciferian Towers | 1.0 |
| entirely garbage album by an entirely garbage band go figure |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress' | 1.0 |
| fuck this band and everything they've ever done |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! | 1.5 |
| hi there i had to come up with a long crazy total nonsense band name bc MY MUSIC IS BORING AFFFFFFFFFF omg they're canadian i swear to dog im moving out going to poland cya bitches |
| Burzum Filosofem | 2.0 |
| jesus tod is my jam but the rest is such a waste of time fuck off varg |
| Burzum Hvis Lyset Tar Oss | 3.0 |
| title track jams but for the most part basic bm with silly synths and old hag vox |
| Satyricon Deep Calleth Upon Deep | 1.0 |
| the last and hopefully final satyricon. cool they used a munch sketch as a cover though |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Yanqui U.X.O. | 1.5 |
| boring ass wannabe orchestra not even asmr worthy ffffffffffffffffff |
| Satyricon The Age Of Nero | 1.0 |
| has a riff here and there but it's like they deliberately try to make every new record worse and worse |
| Satyricon Satyricon | 1.0 |
| omg total snooze metal with their best cover |
| Satyricon Volcano | 2.0 |
| now this is where they clearly got bored/tired and started writing quasi black thrash shit |
| Satyricon Now, Diabolical | 2.0 |
| a thrash n slightly better version of heartwork |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞ | 2.5 |
| dead flag is a good track, east is half n half, providence is mostly pointless asmr. would be better if instead of pretending everything goes together they cut it all up into smaller tracks |
| Billy Talent Crisis Of Faith | 2.0 |
| only good song is beg to differ with d'sa almost making reactor a runner up. rest is either lazy or a total joke like judged or 'hanging out with all the wrong ppl' lmao what a title nile and 9/10 bm bands called they want their long ass song name back |
| My Bloody Valentine m b v | 2.0 |
| was gonna insult this as some basic drone crap but ended up not being that bad |
| My Bloody Valentine Isn't Anything | 2.0 |
| 1st half of this was a lot more interesting than 2nd |
| Satyricon Rebel Extravaganza | 4.0 |
| now this is some sexy bm. once you get past the marilyn manson cover and title you're treated to some loud and bombastic riffs of glory. perhaps it no longer has that trv kvlt feel but it's hella entertaining. songwriting is well thought out and executed, they dont waste a moment with pointless filler. only issue is the crystal clear vox, which while arent mindable to the point it takes away from anything, also arent adding a ton to the overall quality |
| Satyricon The Shadowthrone | 3.5 |
| satyricon amp up their storytelling with the tale of the shadowthrone through synthified bm |
| My Chemical Romance Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys | 1.5 |
| sounds like the shadow of their former selves with some billy talent influences and a few synths cuz why not. gerards alcoholism shining thru quite nicely |
| Satyricon Dark Medieval Times | 3.5 |
| DARK MEDIEVILLLEEELEE TIMEEESSSSSSSSSS |
| Skillet Ardent Worship | 2.0 |
| too many slow hymns only the most ardent church goers could appreciate (hence the title), however the songs they do go rocky on are decent and their rendition of shout to the lord isnt bad |
| Skillet Victorious | 2.5 |
| another middling synth rock album with highlights in title (tho it just sounds like a leftover from unleashed), the real rocker that is reach, and anchor |
| Skillet Unleashed | 3.5 |
| lmao the average on here is ridiculous. they finally found a consistent and energetic sound, the only bad track is saviours. everything else is nonstop party moshpit worthy and when its perfected like it is on here there's nothing wrong with that. doesnt have any of those awkward ass riffs or pauses that kill the rest of the song like on all their other albums. tons of jen ledger vox too making this easily their best album. bonus you get me high is a simpler better executed better than drugs. set it off isnt bad either |
| Skillet Rise | 2.0 |
| another album of middling electro rock that pretends to be deeper than it rly is. concept albums suck and this wasnt any better. sick of it is still a nice family friendly bouncy bass techno song tho. nice they let jen sing a bit more too |
| My Chemical Romance I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love | 2.0 |
| not the best debut, but drowning lessons, lady of sorrows & demolition lovers are pretty fun |
| Dissection Reinkaos | 2.5 |
| just middling mdm. if nodtveidt was a trv satanist and killed himself on his own terms after releasing the legendary somberlain and storm he would have just let wherever the idea for this came from die with him |
| Skillet Awake | 2.5 |
| a rly weird album consisting mostly of rock ballads. 2 family friendly car ride songs in hero n monster followed by the only ballad where the melodies rly work in the ironically titled and poignant dont wake me. a mild snoozer rock in title and a not bad ballad in one day too late. then it starts to get fucked up. its not me is about the most retarded breakup song of all time followed by the ultimate incel anthem in shouldve. once u hear the retarded lyrics to believe you'll wish it actually was the religiously laced hymn it's title purports to be. forgiven is decent but sometimes is another dumb relationship song. never surrender is prob the next best track overall and lucy isnt bad as a sobering closer. rly the main problem is the dumbass lyrics making u wish they'd just stick to worshipping jesus |
| Skillet Comatose | 2.5 |
| they come up with a new style that works in some places, not in others. whole album is a weird alternation of synthy rock songs and heavy awkward ballads taking occasional dips into emotional gravity, not to mention some of the most bizarre lyrics to set to an electric guitar |
| Skillet Collide | 2.0 |
| aaand then they fell off the cliff. gone is the vigor and free flowing inspiration of youth. just kind of standard with saviour the only real rocker |
| Skillet Alien Youth | 3.0 |
| some pretty competent rock without anything super great |
| Skillet Invincible | 1.5 |
| ok but this one just sucks and goes on for way too long. also that cover wtf |
| Skillet Hey You, I Love Your Soul | 2.5 |
| some pretty good electro rock with a highlight in the piano driven more faithful |
| Pixies Beneath the Eyrie | 2.0 |
| another rocky jam album without any highlights |
| Pixies Head Carrier | 2.0 |
| not great, but all i think about now is a great throwback to where is my mind |
| Pixies Indie Cindy | 3.0 |
| a pretty good comeback album. mellowy rock songs incorporating pop tunes as well as their own classic style |
| Pixies Trompe Le Monde | 2.5 |
| a collection of generally rockin songs without any real standouts |
| Pixies Bossanova | 2.5 |
| cecilia ann is a cool instrum but otherwise mild poppy pixies |
| Pixies Come On Pilgrim | 2.0 |
| come on, pixies, you can do better! (and they did) |
| Pixies Doolittle | 2.5 |
| debaser is a win but the rest is middle of the road |
| Skillet Skillet | 2.0 |
| idk their debut merges somewhere on the line of being silly and kind of fun. SATURN HAS A RING AROUND IT |
| The Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon | 2.0 |
| an eclectic combination of decent surfer rock and boring serious versions of phish songs |
| Pixies Surfer Rosa | 3.0 |
| zany punky altocks featuring where is my mind and titties cementing them eternally |
| Korn See You on the Other Side | 1.0 |
| finally done this terrible meal of raw unseasoned korn. my shit can go back to normal |
| Korn Untitled | 1.0 |
| untitled, uninspiring, uninteresting, unbuttered |
| Skillet Dominion | 2.0 |
| wavers between being boring af, cringey, and mildy pleasant. in any case their drummer's still hot |
| Korn The Path of Totality | 1.0 |
| if what goes up must come down, what happens when you never leave the ground? |
| Korn Korn III: Remember Who You Are | 1.0 |
| yes u are wasting ur time. and so are u listening to this, and so are u reading this |
| Korn The Paradigm Shift | 1.0 |
| damn right you guys are done this sucks bum |
| Celtic Frost Monotheist | 1.5 |
| this sounds way to much like a mortification album. did they go and hire steve rowe to write this? |
| Celtic Frost Vanity/Nemesis | 3.0 |
| back to rockin' trv trash babeeeeeeeeee |
| Korn Take a Look in the Mirror | 1.0 |
| bland, unsalted, still on the kob |
| Ulcerate Of Fracture and Failure | 1.0 |
| this is about the worst tech ive ever heard |
| Korn Untouchables | 1.5 |
| some fun but mostly this korn isnt even salted |
| Ulcerate Stare Into Death and Be Still | 1.5 |
| started good but went on for too long omg so much filler |
| Ulcerate Shrines of Paralysis | 2.5 |
| an actually decent techdeath album |
| Korn Issues | 1.5 |
| yea i got issues...too much KORN |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven | 2.0 |
| that they try to make up their own little symphonies is cute but they're not very interesting |
| Dissection The Somberlain | 3.5 |
| a lighter take on bm that nevertheless integrates itself into the satanic pantheon |
| Dissection Storm of the Light's Bane | 4.0 |
| a meloblack classic that trades sheer intensity for crystal riffs and light atmosphere |
| Celtic Frost Cold Lake | 2.0 |
| this shit isn't even bad |
| My Chemical Romance Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge | 2.0 |
| a more rushed version of their prom drama tunes |
| My Chemical Romance The Black Parade | 2.5 |
| the epitome of emo pop settled in many a teenager's heart. indeed from the eternally adolescent-looking gerard way, to the frolicky feel-good tunes optimizing in title, this album is an audible prom drama at full capacity |
| Korn The Serenity of Suffering | 1.0 |
| pop korn a l'in flames |
| My Bloody Valentine Loveless | 2.0 |
| only shallow is the only star here, rest is either white noise or lacking potential trv 2 |
| Celtic Frost Into the Pandemonium | 2.0 |
| eh its not all bad - the album cover is pretty cool. o the music? lets just say theres nothing frosty about these celts |
| Celtic Frost To Mega Therion | 3.5 |
| trv dark trash with slight emergent bm elements |
| Celtic Frost Morbid Tales/Emperor's Return | 3.5 |
| frost's early bests with that dumb extended crypt of rays intro |
| Satyricon Nemesis Divina | 2.5 |
| decently avg bm from the trv kvlt |
| Ulcerate Vermis | 1.0 |
| vermis indeed. only worms could enjoy this pure garbo metal |
| Korn The Nothing | 2.0 |
| korn actually making something that resembles music with a selection of in flames-esque nu rock |
| Amon Amarth Surtur Rising | 2.5 |
| Awesome cover art. War 3.5; Tock 2; Destroyer 3.5; Slaves 2; Regrets 2; Frej 1.5; Victory 4; Wrath 2.5; Beast 2.5; Doom 2 |
| Amon Amarth With Oden on Our Side | 2.0 |
| Valhall 3.5; runes 2.5; hermod 2; gods 3; title 1.5; black birds 2.5; northern star 1.5; prediction 2 everyone who thinks this is their best is a herpaderp lmao |
| Der Weg Einer Freiheit Noktvrn | 3.0 |
| had potential but they don't really do anything with it and i can't stand that kind of crystal clear scream in my bm. pretending haven doesnt exist |
| Amon Amarth Fate of Norns | 2.5 |
| basically a higher quality version of their late albums save for title and pursuit |
| Amon Amarth The Avenger | 4.0 |
| easily the best of their early albums. raw, much more deathy mdm with every member really into performing their part. aa at their freshest and most eager. north sea storm's gotta be their best song ever and it's a hard tie between this and twilight as their best album overall |
| Amon Amarth Berserker | 1.5 |
| bruh this was so fucking boring omg |
| Amon Amarth Versus the World | 3.0 |
| mellow melodeth flicks with a tinge of the patented aa epicness. drums are somehow still bunk 4 albums in however |
| Amon Amarth Jomsviking | 2.0 |
| this album would be about 25% better if johan just stfu with his lame ass lyrics and unvaried shout |
| Amon Amarth Deceiver of the Gods | 2.0 |
| now THIS is where they fell off the cliff. anyone who disagrees is a tard fite me |
| A Flock of Seagulls A Flock of Seagulls | 3.5 |
| a lot of great synthwork duo guitar dynamics, culminating especially in i ran and space age, but everything after gets progressively less interesting and its hard to believe its not full of masterpieces |
| Boards of Canada Music Has the Right to Children | 2.0 |
| this shit's boring af even by asmr standards. fuck your damn orange |
| Unleashed Dawn of the Nine | 1.5 |
| this band is amon amarth if they spent their money on meth instead of business |
| Methadone Skies Retrofuture Caveman | 3.0 |
| liked it more than i thought i would. typical asmr rock mixed with metallic vibes. infected by friendship is a four star song, enabler is the next best track. |
| 1914 Where Fear and Weapons Meet | 4.0 |
| pretty epic blackened death/doom. a highlight in tread but nothing bad at all. just the vox aren't the greatest and a deeper more powerful growl would have suited this better |
| Children of Bodom Follow the Reaper | 4.0 |
| YE-YEAOW! Title 4; Midnight 3.5; SO COME ON MOTHAFUCKA GIMME YOUR BEST SHOT! Decadence 4; Everytime 4; Mask 3.5; Scythe 3.5; iduntgivafukif YOU HATE ME! top 5 bodom just about a perfect 5; Comfort weird and worst song on the album but still 3.5; Shadows the best last minute song ever 4. demo hate me is more awesome in some ways than the final |
| Korn Follow the Leader | 1.5 |
| kans of korn |
| Ulcerate The Destroyers of All | 1.5 |
| some very snoozy dm |
| Limp Bizkit Three Dollar Bill Y'all | 1.5 |
| typical nude metal |
| Limp Bizkit Significant Other | 1.5 |
| radio sucks, the same fuckin songs over n over again its crap fred. had no idea they actually wrote some actual songs |
| Limp Bizkit Results May Vary | 1.5 |
| damn yo limpy biz actually writing sum songz |
| Arch Enemy Black Earth | 2.5 |
| not a bad debut but they hardly touch the essence of their fellow mdmers. maiden covers pretty plain |
| Arch Enemy Stigmata | 2.0 |
| ever since their inception arch had mastered the ability to be incredibly boring except for a select few sections on each song that make you think they could be worth more and so you try them out each time only to be disappointed yet again. i blame lazy amott |
| Arch Enemy Burning Bridges | 2.5 |
| a decent album largely brought down by liiva being a meh singer and amott's typical hashed doodlies |
| Atvm Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless | 3.5 |
| some good techy melodeath. if you would have told me i'd like it i wouldn't have believed you. even has some cool bass solos in there and prominent throughout |
| Attack Attack! Attack Attack! | 1.0 |
| now this is rock bottom for rockcore. poor guy sounds like he's blown his vocords over this shit |
| Anthrax For All Kings | 2.0 |
| decentish rock songs. thank god that wasnt a death cover |
| Anthrax Worship Music | 2.0 |
| one of the weirdest rock albums of all time for sure |
| Anthrax We've Come for You All | 2.5 |
| goddam idk what to rate this. pretty chill rocks songs without anything irritating i guess. some punk vibes |
| Anthrax Volume 8: The Threat Is Real | 2.5 |
| out of the big 4 anthrax are surely the only ones who knew how to party. this album suffers from too much filler syndrome and would score higher if they'd tightened it a bit |
| Azarath In Extremis | 1.5 |
| poisoned by garbage prog and shitty vox |
| Azarath Saint Desecration | 3.0 |
| the more they sound like behe the better they get. weak vox tho |
| Azarath Praise the Beast | 2.5 |
| slightly better just for sounding more like behemoth |
| Azarath Diabolic Impious Evil | 1.5 |
| azarath metrion zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzinthos |
| Azarath Infernal Blasting | 1.5 |
| behemoth wannabe with some useless prog shit |
| Phish Farmhouse | 1.5 |
| finally done this horseshit |
| Phish Round Room | 1.5 |
| eh nothing notable about this one |
| Phish Rift | 2.0 |
| more upbeat white noise with their ever original lyrics |
| Phish Big Boat | 2.0 |
| certainly their most diverse album. nothing too interesting on it though |
| Phish Sigma Oasis | 2.0 |
| pretty decent for an hour's worth of white noise |
| Phish The Story of the Ghost | 1.5 |
| nothing special on this album with one of the most hideous album covers |
| Phish Lawn Boy | 1.0 |
| their sophomore they went total motions going zzzzzz |
| Phish Junta | 2.5 |
| some great piano pieces on this one, unfortunately often ruined by trey's annoying ass voice and lyrics. if he would just STFU this would actually be a good album |
| Phish Fuego | 1.5 |
| some decent chill tracks but also largely filler |
| Anata The Infernal Depths of Hatred | 2.5 |
| decent techdeath with a lot more thought than usual put into its composition |
| Anata The Conductor's Departure | 2.5 |
| better than most techdeath. i like more than a few of their diddlies, and great juggs is pretty fun |
| Van Halen Fair Warning | 1.5 |
| fair warning the only memorable thing about this album is the vocal harmony on hear about it |
| Van Halen Diver Down | 1.0 |
| record label was happy with pretty woman then told them just do what the fuck ever else absolute garbage album |
| Van Halen OU812 | 2.0 |
| vanny create a generic honky tonk |
| Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge | 2.0 |
| van haltin with xxxtra innuendo |
| Van Halen Balance | 3.0 |
| van halens most mature album with tight songwriting and a highlight in cant stop lovin you |
| Anthrax Sound of White Noise | 3.5 |
| rockin n energetic rock songs done right. even have an emergent melodeath song in only |
| Machine Head The Blackening | 2.0 |
| korn slayer and every core band ever called. they want to commend you on sampling their discography. maiden cover is pretty good tho |
| Die Antwoord $O$ | 1.5 |
| sometimes entertaining but largely vapid electro rap typical of the genre |
| Ingranaggi Della Valle Warm Spaced Blue | 1.5 |
| prog aspects turn what would have been a great instrumental album into utter shit |
| Anthrax Stomp 442 | 3.0 |
| great energy but nothing really stands out and it goes on for too long |
| Oxygen Destroyer Sinister Monstrosities Spawned... | 4.0 |
| finally a good present day death metal recommendation. this shit's so good i think imma up it to a 4. doesn't let up or get boring for an entire half hour |
| Bring Me the Horizon That's the Spirit | 1.5 |
| a combination of the worst aspects of emo, punk n 'core with some decent synth sections |
| Britney Spears Oops!...I Did It Again | 2.5 |
| it's not that bad tbh. title is a banger that deservedly has taken over every radio station for the past 20 years, and most other songs have a poppy poignancy that betrays the general stereotype. britney herself is only moderately talented in the singing department but certainly a popstar. lucky is win |
| Kalmah Seventh Swamphony | 3.0 |
| Title 3.5; Dead 3; Pike 3; Hollo 2.5; Wind 3.5; Wolves 3; Marten 3.5; Trapper 3.5 pretty silly poppy mdm but still mostly fun |

| Kalmah For the Revolution | 3.0 |
| Title 4; Dead 4.5; Holy 2.5; Wings 2; Ready 1; Sky 2; Out 3.5; Coward 2; Slave 3.5 an awkward and pretty horrible sequel to the magnum opus that was black waltz |
| Kalmah They Will Return | 3.0 |
| Hollow 3.5; Hell 2.5; Principal 2; Human 2.5; Title 3; Kill 2; Blind 2.5; Nation 4.5; Skin 3 a disappointing sequel to swamplord with weak hooks and too many high vox |
| Kalmah Swampsong | 3.0 |
| Heroes 3.5; Burbot 3.5; Cloned 3; Third 2.5; Bird 2; Doubt 2; Tordah 3; Man 3; Moon 3.5; (Suo 2.5) the most butchered of their albums, barely scrapes by as a 3 |
| Kalmah The Black Waltz | 4.5 |
| the best in powered melodeath with new unrivalled death vox |
| Anthrax Persistence of Time | 1.0 |
| persistence of time is right, no idea how i got through an hour of the worst thrash i've ever heard |
| Anthrax State of Euphoria | 1.0 |
| basically metallica but way worse |
| Anthrax Among the Living | 1.5 |
| this one just all n all sucks though |
| Anthrax Spreading the Disease | 3.5 |
| party thrash that goes on n on n doesnt stop i want to rate it lower but their infectious energy makes it impossible |
| Immortal Northern Chaos Gods | 3.0 |
| another solid but unspectacular album from these old timers. maybe if the silly legal dispute didnt occur abbath would have made it stellar. they cant possibly conquer blashyrkh without him |
| Immortal All Shall Fall | 3.0 |
| title is a party, rest is amazingly produced but just kind of ehh it's pretty good songs |
| Immortal Sons of Northern Darkness | 4.0 |
| trvly the darkest and iciest excursion through the Realm of Blashyrkh ~IN MY KINGDOM COLD, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS~A DARK WORLD MADE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEE |
| Immortal Damned In Black | 3.5 |
| a much more straight forward and rockn rolla bm album yet thereby very fun |
| Immortal Blizzard Beasts | 2.5 |
| by far their worst not so immortal |
| Immortal Battles in the North | 3.5 |
| BLOOD SHED AND DEMONIC ICHOR SPILLED FOR THE SAKE OF BLASHYRKH MIGHTY RAVENDARK |
| Immortal Pure Holocaust | 3.5 |
| sign for the norse hordes, storming through red clouds, eternal years, and as the eternity opens rip through the darkness and ice of blashyrkh, drums are insane |
| Immortal Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism | 3.5 |
| immortal's debut is chill and trv...with fire!!!!! |
| Inquisition Black Mass for a Mass Grave | 1.5 |
| really boring immortal with some extra diddly dos that do nothing. clearly worshipping satan all one's life takes its toll, as you not only produce utter shit but become utter shit |
| Inquisition Bloodshed Across The Empyrean Altar... | 2.0 |
| no vocals issues this is just boring af black metal. just a wannabe immortal tbh |
| Inquisition Obscure Verses for the Multiverse | 3.0 |
| damn he actually sounds decent on this one. an off kilter mellower immortal |
| Inquisition Nefarious Dismal Orations | 2.0 |
| two points for longer instrumentals sections void of garbo vox |
| Azarath Demon Seed | 1.0 |
| shitty shitty techdeath shamelessly covered in blackface |
| Attack Attack! This Means War | 1.5 |
| loooooollllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz some nice piano on reality actually (obv they had nothing to do with it) otherwise the most mediocre album in the most mediocre genre |
| Phish Undermind | 1.0 |
| omfg fish fucking sucks |
| Van Halen Van Halen III | 1.0 |
| a far too long collection of incredibly boring rock songs and a highly unnecessary piano closer fuck off van halen |

| a slow angsty eilish version of every other teen sensation. too young for anything real |
| Omnium Gatherum Origin | 4.0 |
| omnium, the gathering |
| Anata Dreams of Death and Dismay | 2.0 |
| just full of average modern dm. more tolerable than most techdeth |
| Chris Maragoth Tales | 2.0 |
| eh its just below avg gothic with some decent piano bits |
| Van Halen Women and Children First | 1.5 |
| some of the worst rock to become extant while getting absolutely hashed by metal ascendant |
| Spawn of Possession Incurso | 1.5 |
| typical average garbodeth save apparition. doesn't save it though |
| Van Halen A Different Kind of Truth | 1.5 |
| except tattoo pure cringe waste of time album also dat tryin the yungin's muzik on honeybabysweetiedoll lololol |
| Inquisition Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer | 1.5 |
| half a point for some riffs that actually make you forget about the lolvox |
| Inquisition Invoking the Majestic Throne of Satan | 1.0 |
| satan would take one listen to this and immediately shoot up to god begging for forgiveness |
| Spawn of Possession Cabinet | 1.5 |
| eh completely forgettable techdeth indistinguishable from the rabid swamp |
| Dimmu Borgir Eonian | 1.5 |
| sounds so bleh you cant even make fun of it like you could abrahababa |
| Dimmu Borgir In Sorte Diaboli | 2.5 |
| commerciality complete: completely intelligible vox, lame cleans, concept album, crystal clear production. the tracks are decently composed anyway |
| Dimmu Borgir Death Cult Armageddon | 3.0 |
| dimmy officially streamlined, essentially a rock opera with nothing offensively bad (except the inexcusable cleans) but nothing amazing or anywhere near their legendary early albums |
| Dimmu Borgir Godless Savage Garden | 4.0 |
| GET ME IN HER GARDEN |
| Dimmu Borgir Spiritual Black Dimensions | 4.0 |
| a weakened version of enthrone, adding a lighter tone, more flippant keys, and random clean vox a la cradle. still a solid album with peak moments on every track save arcane lifeforce |
| Deep Purple The Book of Taliesyn | 1.0 |
| why do the english suck at music so much???? |
| Bjork Post | 2.0 |
| an eclectic combination of of pop and heavy synth beats with charming english imperfections |
| Deep Purple Deep Purple | 1.5 |
| deep purple more like deep derple am i riiiiiiiiighhhttt?? of course i am, i'm always right |
| Deep Purple Shades of Deep Purple | 2.5 |
| chill jam rocks with nascent but in no way pursued metallic elements and a much more justifiable version of help |
| Led Zeppelin Presence | 1.0 |
| i despise this boring jazzy bullshit so help meeeeeeeeeee |
| Led Zeppelin In Through the Out Door | 2.5 |
| closer actually has some dece songs on it. too bad bonham was such a souse maybe they'd have made something truly great |
| Inquisition Into the Infernal Regions of the Ancient | 1.0 |
| bm ultra lite with wannabe demilich vox joke band |
| Stormkeep Tales of Othertime | 3.0 |
| eh everything from the cover on is a little boy's imitation of emperor with nodtveidt on vocals |
| Dimmu Borgir Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia | 3.5 |
| the descent begins. largely streamlined production and riffs accompanied by a lot of filler and silly clean vocals as well as pointless instrumentals. still some bangers and the classic era dimmy isnt completely gone yet |
| Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti | 2.0 |
| more than a hour of pure fucking boring trv rating -1 |
| Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy | 2.0 |
| like a great metal blimp this falls straight to the bottom of the ocean trv rating 1 |
| Van Halen 5150 | 3.0 |
| van hales put out a respectable rock album starring the ubiquitous dreams |
| Van Halen 1984 | 2.5 |

| Dimmu Borgir Abrahadabra | 1.5 |
| now this shit is just embarrassing |
| Equilibrium Sagas | 4.5 |
| GERMAN BLACK FOLK METAL KINGS!! |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin | 2.0 |
| 60s music sensibilities with emerging ahrd rock factors lead to a jumbled mishmash |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II | 2.0 |
| a compilation of popular late 60s tropes with less riffs than debut trv 1.5 |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin III | 2.0 |
| immigrant song rulz, first half is heavier than i and ii and the production is infinitely better but second half is half assed diddlies |
| Korn Life Is Peachy | 1.5 |
| korny life |
| Adele 30 | 1.5 |
| im bored af. some good notes on second track, third is some 2pac style wannabe boringness, omg fuck off with the depression porn. track 4 once again an imitation of a black artist, omg is a rip off track of so many pop funk songs with poorer lyrics, why is my first thought on track 6 that she had nothing to do with that acoustic guitar? cant believe ppl actually pay for such low effort music. wine has some good notes n piano tunes on it, the rest is major soppy borefest with minute moments on to be loved and love is a game zzzzzzzzz |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV | 2.0 |
| yeah so it's no wonder why the forbidden riff is forbidden this boring hash sucks donkey balls and deserves trv 1s from all |
| The Rolling Stones The Rolling Stones | 1.0 |
| original stones fucking suckkkkkkkk |
| Kalmah Palo | 3.5 |
| Blood 3.5; Evil 3.5; World 3.5; Marsh 3; Take 3.5; Paystreak 3.5; Waiting in the Wings 3.5; Through 3.5; Erase 3.5; Stalker 4 |
| Amon Amarth Once Sent from the Golden Hall | 2.5 |
| a highlight in friends of the suncross but aa's debut is actually pretty boring |
| Amon Amarth The Crusher | 3.0 |
| a much more raw and deathy alcoholics anonymous, with a paradoxically awkward-awesome album cover to boot |
| Dark Funeral In The Sign... | 3.5 |
| a fine and proper start to a funeral...with bathory!!!! |
| Dark Funeral Vobiscum Satanas | 4.0 |
| et nobiscum satanas est |
| Dark Funeral Attera Totus Sanctus | 3.0 |
| king antichrist is a beast of a song, rest is their usual just above avg bum |
| The Beatles Please Please Me | 1.5 |
| first few songs are decent but even in 63 they had that let it slump to filler until waking you up again with the indelible twist n shout |
| Van Halen Van Halen II | 1.5 |
| this whole album is fucking retarded |
| Gorguts From Wisdom to Hate | 1.5 |
| ahh gorguts...one of those bands that had so much potential but went the diddly do route instead. so long, soldier |
| Gorguts The Erosion of Sanity | 2.5 |
| another album they could easily have turned into some sweet classic dm but had to throw in all that prog shit instead |
| Van Halen Van Halen | 3.0 |
| van ROCKIN' GIRL you rly got me goin, you got me so i dunno what im doin NOW |
| Gorguts Obscura | 2.0 |
| holy bitch this is the worst and most deliberately boring techdeth album ever recorded that every poseur and their mother thinks they understand. need to hack the site so i can give it the trv 0.5 it truly deserves |
| Periphery Periphery | 1.0 |
| this is even worse than the average corez |
| Periphery Periphery II: This Time It's Personal | 1.5 |
| some fun melo sections in the first half that dwindle off into regular core |
| Periphery Juggernaut: Alpha | 1.0 |
| omg full prog metalcore this is trv satans music wereallgonnadie |
| Dark Funeral Teach Children to Worship Satan | 3.0 |
| a decent new track and covers with a highlight in pagan fears |
| Dark Funeral Diabolis Interium | 3.5 |
| for their third lp dark funeral present a tightly composed competent bm album without any marvels |
| Periphery Juggernaut: Omega | 1.0 |
| nothing even needs to be said why did someone have to bump this up |
| Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God | 4.0 |
| Twilight 5; Free 3; Guardians 5; God 4; Varyags 5; Tattered 5; No Fear 2.5; Hero 2.5; Live 2.5; Embrace 3 contains their most epic headbangers, prepare to conquer |
| Anthrax Fistful of Metal | 3.5 |
| party thrash that rulz, best album cover ever |
| Spawn of Possession Noctambulant | 2.5 |
| normally i find all tech an abhorrent bore, but these guys are a bit different. their songs actually have a flow to them, plus occasional sections of regular metal shit (as well as a lovely intro and outro that don't otherwise belong lmao). scorched is a good song. R?ndum also has a pretty nice growl, too band he's never used it outside of tech bands |
| Dark Funeral Where Shadows Forever Reign | 3.5 |
| i like funeral, they have a good grasp of songwriting even if the vox are crystal clear, couldnt even tell this was 21st century, another awesome cover too |
| Darkthrone Under a Funeral Moon | 2.5 |
| all out of soulside leftovers for filler so now on to generic blackenized hc riffs along with bm taken straight from immortal |
| Periphery Periphery III: Select Difficulty | 1.0 |
| can someone shut off the whiny emo boy plz |
| Immortal At the Heart of Winter | 4.0 |
| epic artwork that trvly depicts the icy brutality of this venture into the Realm of Blashyrkh. six tales of struggle, war, and demons that verily reach into the Heart of Winter, the Beauty and the Cruelty, the Majesty and the Harshness, the Beast that is Immortal |
| Dimmu Borgir Enthrone Darkness Triumphant | 4.5 |
| darkness punctuated by light, emphatic yet elegantly haunting keys, raw force of black metal, ENTHRONE. DARKNESS. TRIUMPHANT!!! |
| Dimmu Borgir Stormblåst | 4.0 |
| dimmy build on the ideas of tid to make a mighty storm blast of riffs, keys, n synths. the prod is still light, but this time it goes with the music and adds atmosphere rather than being a matter of technicality |
| Gorguts Colored Sands | 1.5 |
| ah man they stopped trying. so much for a comeback album. battle of chamdo is a very nice instrum tho |
| The Nefilim Zoon | 2.0 |
| a mix of industrial deathrash that starts a lot more interesting than it ends |
| Phish Hoist | 2.0 |
| was gonna rate this higher but then they ruined the first half with the bullshit at the end |
| Behemoth Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel | 3.0 |
| title is kind of boring but cain is awesome and siekiera cover p cool |
| Behemoth Ezkaton | 3.5 |
| another more than solid ep. title track is bomb af definitely one of their best songs, good covers and live tracks as usual |
| Behemoth Slaves Shall Serve | 3.5 |
| pretty damn solid for an ep. great tracks, a great niphilim and slightly awkward but fun danzig cover, 2 solid live tracks |
| Behemoth Conjuration | 3.0 |
| one original track with some fun covers and live tracks |
| Morbid Angel Altars of Madness | 3.5 |
| classic dm debut offering trv metal to the masses |
| Behemoth Antichristian Phenomenon | 3.0 |
| another solid ep with some cool/hilarious covers |
| Behemoth Bewitching the Pomerania | 3.0 |
| a nice n cute little ep, rerecordings are tighttttt |
| Phish Joy | 2.0 |
| some more chill jazzy rock fit for any saloon, on kill it sounds like he's saying 'don't go back to kill them with balls' |
| Immolation Shadows in the Light | 1.5 |
| aaaaaaand another one with nothing special about it |
| Immolation Unholy Cult | 2.0 |
| some decentish dm on this one too. too bad they never elevated it |
| Phish Billy Breathes | 2.0 |
| the cover is claustrophobic af and i want to punch him so badly but the muz is pretty chill wouldnt mind if someone put it on for spin |
| Kalmah Swamplord | 4.0 |
| Evil 5; Wither 4; Berija 3.5; Roija 3.5; Dance 4; Hades Huuuuge 5; Alt 4; Word 4; Blind 4; Vezi 4 very unique and very darkly elegant mdm |
| Opeth Ghost Reveries | 1.5 |
| ive always liked akerfeldt's growls and there's undeniably gnarly riffage but the cleans and slow boring sections that go on forever take it down a lot. album would be vastly superior with those things edited out even though it'd only be about 24 mins afterward. i did an edit of ghost of perdition cutting out all the shitty parts and got it down to a good 6:53 and OMFG IT SOUNDS SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER |
| Immolation Harnessing Ruin | 2.0 |
| this one's okay too just nothing stands out from these guys |
| Immolation Close to a World Below | 3.0 |
| close to mah butthole. indeed, as this is some airy, light dm, like a fart |
| Deicide Deicide | 3.5 |
| raw primitively carved dm by the killers of the gods |
| Immolation Failures for Gods | 1.5 |
| another boring dm lite disappointment sighsighsigh |
| Seith Artifacts & Entities | 2.0 |
| what a horrible disappoint. they took their amazing debut sound and dumped 100 pounds of sleepy prog on it. no wonder they never made anything else |
| Immolation Atonement | 1.0 |
| ah man theyve become completely bored of this life |
| Seith Alas | 4.0 |
| melodic death/doom done right. too bad they didn't continue in this direction |
| Taylor Swift 1989 | 1.5 |
| some good beats on style, all you had, and wish you would, not that she had anything to do with those. excellent choral melody in blank space and out of the woods is solid. shake just pisses me off and i condemn all radio stations and valley girls blasting it. everything else is the shameless filler typical on any pop album, would be better if she had a stronger voice. lmao still sounds like starbucks lovers even on her voice memo |
| Candlemass Epicus Doomicus Metallicus | 3.0 |
| a classic but only solitude and sorcerers pledge are standouts. should have used those epic highs more |
| Immolation Here in After | 2.0 |
| imm's sophomore is a disappointing hash of subpar dm mixed with pointless prog riffs. under the supreme is the only good track, and only with editing out the silly bits |
| Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra | 1.0 |
| oh how the mighty have fallennnnnnnn |
| Dark Funeral The Secrets of the Black Arts | 3.5 |
| title is amazing spawn of mayhem, the rest standardized darkness |
| Gorguts Considered Dead | 3.0 |
| classic canadian dm m/ |
| Agnes Obel Aventine | 1.5 |
| chord left is an excellent piano piece but everything afterwards is just pirate if pirate could play instruments. taking another half point away for it then going on to be boring af |
| Immolation Majesty and Decay | 2.0 |
| another decentish album that doesn't try too hard |
| Nile Those Whom the Gods Detest | 3.5 |
| the best thing to come out of the nile |
| Immolation Dawn of Possession | 2.0 |
| a decent debut that unusually suffers rather than benefits from the poor production |
| Immolation Kingdom of Conspiracy | 2.0 |
| not the worst of modern dm but immo were never good either |
| Dimmu Borgir For All Tid | 3.5 |
| light production n vox make it less than desirable in heaviness but the artistry is there |
| Inquisition Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical... | 1.0 |
| aw man listening to this is like having to sit through a presentation by that loser kid who doesnt realize how bad he is and taking all the cringe upon yourself instead |
| Demilich Nespithe | 1.5 |
| techthrash hogwash with intoxicated burps for vocals and occasional dm splices |
| Ulcerate Everything Is Fire | 1.5 |
| drown within starts with that slow ambient riffage only a few bands do so well and misleads a proposition of a well intentioned atmospheric death metal album that actually deserves all the attention instead of shitty progtech, then their true intentions hit and they blur straight into the indistinguishable desert that is the techdeth empire. also way to pick the bottom of the barrel for your band name, o snap ulcers, so scary, next there'll be the bdm band gout and slam band ingrown toenail |
| Azarath Blasphemers' Maledictions | 2.0 |
| you'd think being a quarter+ behemoth this would be better. everything until abjection is ruined by typical prog derptation. abjection itself, being devoid of said derptation, is easily the best song. some cool riffage afterwards but it's few and far between, again largely ruined. inferno just really liked the thelema and zos era i guess |
| Behemoth ....From the Pagan Vastlands | 2.5 |
| solidish bm with typical behemoth effects |
| Billie Eilish Happier Than Ever | 1.0 |
| holy shit at least as a teenager she had a personality. i think she's actually on this what she only pretended to be on debut, someone give her a hug. this is what happens when you name your child pirate |
| Wintersun The Forest Seasons | 3.0 |
| lotr length tracks that try too hard to be epic, succeeding somewhat but the epicness is put way far ahead of the music it is supposed to elevate and so you end up with a kind of movie score (in which the visuals are the primary media) made with blastbeats and rawr vox |
| Wintersun Time I | 2.5 |
| exaggeratingly and often clichedly operatic, odd timing choices, way too many clean vox, this barely resembles self titled, full of air like a bouncy castle. still when time fades is a nice enough wintersun x japan intro and title track isnt bad either |
| Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy | 2.0 |
| an attempt to modernize their sound that works in some places not in others |
| Guns N' Roses The Spaghetti Incident? | 2.0 |
| decentish covers but not the best song selection |
| 2Pac Pac's Life | 1.0 |
| i take it back. this is the most hashed and pointless posthumous 2pac |
| 2Pac Better Dayz | 1.5 |
| some decent beats but mostly just pointless filler songs meant to cash on pac's name. weakest album attributed to tupac |
| Periphery Periphery IV: Hail Stan | 1.5 |
| glorified mccore with opeth and emo rock influences. half a point for some parts that sound good |
| Billie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? | 2.0 |
| has its moments but ultimately isn't much different from any other teen idol, crafted particularly for the emo generation. the amount of her brother's influence on this is blatantly obvious and ends up being creepier than anything else. bonus come out is better than the majority of the actual album. also whats with looking like a nuclear skunk? |
| Wintersun Wintersun | 4.0 |
| the ferocity of winter and beauty of the north, siffy's trv third album |
| Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion II | 2.5 |
| got some cool piano pieces esp on 14 years, there's knockin, love the rant on get in the ring lmao, latter half gets pretty damn stagnant though |
| 2Pac Until the End of Time | 2.0 |
| all filler until all out which is dope af. roaddogz is decent, but pretty pointless otherwise |
| 2Pac Loyal to the Game | 2.0 |
| highlights in ghetto gospel, thugs get lonely too, and dont you trust me. lmao @ the random but appropriate sea shanty beat on hennessey, pouring drinks on the remix is also a nice touch |
| Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion I | 2.5 |
| what their second album should have been, a decent amount of rocker's spirit |
| Guns N' Roses G N' R Lies | 1.5 |
| and then they took their sudden fame and fortune and immediately dumped this half baked shit on the world |
| Guns N' Roses Appetite for Destruction | 3.0 |
| guns n' roses |
| Autopsy Tourniquets, Hacksaws and Graves | 2.0 |
| finally after decades they put out something almost worth listening to |
| Autopsy Macabre Eternal | 1.5 |
| better production and 16 years later=same ol' shitty autopsy |
| Crystal Viper Legends | 1.5 |
| this one's pretty bad and boring bros |
| Crystal Viper The Curse of Crystal Viper | 2.0 |
| can tell they were having fun making their debut, too bad nothing stands out |
| Crystal Viper Metal Nation | 2.5 |
| legions of truth is cool, especially when she goes soprano, and gladiator and the bonus libertalia aren't bad, but run of the mill pm with some ensiferum vibes for the most part |
| Autopsy Shitfun | 2.5 |
| fun shit agreed |
| Autopsy The Headless Ritual | 1.5 |
| looks like they learned a few things over the years but it's the same boring shit |
| Autopsy Acts of the Unspeakable | 2.0 |
| doom is gloom, death is meth |
| Be'lakor Vessels | 2.5 |
| some good stuff on this but for the most part still the same wannabe doomy omnium |
| Be'lakor Of Breath and Bone | 2.0 |
| yeah nearly a decade later this is still omnium wannabe motions going shit with one of the worst covers ever |
| Be'lakor The Frail Tide | 2.5 |
| a slower and less ambitious omnium with pointless piano bits |
| Be'lakor Stone's Reach | 3.0 |
| love the vox, similar to jukka, and at times it seems like its omnium. but be'lakor is quite a bit more dumpy, and their doominess works in some places better than others, more often so than not |
| Be'lakor Coherence | 2.0 |
| sounds like they took the worst of opeth, agalloch and omnium g, threw it in a blender and called it a day |
| Anata Under a Stone With No Inscription | 2.0 |
| annoying album going thrash to death to melodic to thrash to generic riffs to doodly dos and everything in between with meh semi shouty death vox, a total lack of coherence. prog shit esp annoying and would be vastly improve the album if it just wasnt there |
| Reincarnation Void | 1.5 |
| this is some boring sleepy shit yo. is this even death metal? more like asmr white noise with some guitar parts in between |
| Teenage Jesus and the Jerks Everything | 2.0 |
| would rate it higher if she actually knew how to sing |
| Teenage Jesus and the Jerks Pre Teenage Jesus | 1.0 |
| the damn saxophone killed this for me |
| Teenage Jesus and the Jerks Teenage Jesus and the Jerks | 2.0 |
| damn this is real punk. some cool sounds too bad they didn't make more |
| Reincarnation Seed Of Hate | 2.0 |
| goes from worst to best but nothing too crazy. base is a steady lil donkey |
| 2Pac R U Still Down? (Remember Me) | 2.5 |
| real bangers in wonder if heaven got a ghetto and the funky fake ass bitches. do for love is also damn smooth |
| 2Pac Me Against the World | 2.0 |
| chill but nothing really stands out trv 2 |
| 2Pac Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. | 1.5 |
| a rushed album, 2pac capitilizing on his initial success and wanting to get back at the idiot white politicians too soon. papa's song is the best track |
| Crystal Viper Crimen Excepta | 2.0 |
| some motions going pm taking a lot of riffs straight out of maiden n sabbath |
| Crystal Viper Possession | 2.5 |
| this one's a bit slow but has some male guest vocals |
| Outre-Tombe Abysse Mortifère | 3.0 |
| i mean they got the released in early 90s sound and album cover down at least. french really doesn't go with death vox though. not bad overall |
| Behemoth The Return of the Northern Moon | 2.5 |
| and this one sounds like every other bm demo/debut ever, but done at 16 is impressive |
| Behemoth Endless Damnation | 2.5 |
| to make metal at 15 is an accomplishment, even if its only mid |
| Crystal Viper Tales of Fire and Ice | 3.0 |
| some more decent power metal largely held together by marta. love when her polish accent peeks out |
| Dark Funeral Angelus Exuro pro Eternus | 3.5 |
| great modernized bm with highlights in stigmata, declaration, n dreams, not to mention one of the sickest album arts ever |
| Behemoth Xiadz | 2.5 |
| neither here nor there is ehh |
| Phish A Picture of Nectar | 1.5 |
| started good but got real fukin boring halfway through |
| Attack Attack! Someday Came Suddenly | 1.0 |
| getting to all the troll bands now lmaooooooo |
| Limp Bizkit Still Sucks | 1.0 |
| what an amazingly mind-blowing album well worth the decade long wait. goodbye, goodbye, goodbye indeed |
| Crystal Viper The Cult | 3.0 |
| marta gabriel makes some power metal worth listening to |
| Behemoth A Forest | 2.5 |
| cure covers are dumb actual songs dope hoping for something good |
| Behemoth Pandemonic Incantations | 3.5 |
| whats with all classic bm bands going prog in the late 90s? anyway overall great progged light bm tracks with more melodious structures in the latter half, highlights in past funeral and entrance mars, with the bonus new edition spell of inferno also a win |
| Behemoth Grom | 4.0 |
| beware the behemoth's thunder, for it is mighty, and behold the allures of the man and maiden in the stormclouds awaiting those of uneven fate |
| Behemoth Satanica | 3.0 |
| behemoth turns blackened death. nothings rly that great but the drums on lam are wicked punchy tight and chant for ezkaton is fun |
| Behemoth The Apostasy | 2.5 |
| this one's a snoozer bros, not much else to say |
| Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water | 1.0 |
| listened in honour of their new album tomorrow. this is what happens when the loser stoner kid in the back turns out to make more money than you ever will |
| Korn Korn | 1.5 |
| korn lol |
| Behemoth Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond) | 2.0 |
| goddamnit behemoth you and everyone else need to stop imitating death's shitty albums |
| Behemoth The Satanist | 3.5 |
| tight modern blackened death for the boys |
| Behemoth And the Forests Dream Eternally | 4.0 |
| dark forest dreams including a title track to sventevith, bathory worship, and a look into the ancient occult vastlands |
| Behemoth Thelema.6 | 2.0 |
| the longer this goes on the more i hate it. why'd they have to go proggy man? explains the shitty cover at least |
| Behemoth I Loved You at Your Darkest | 2.5 |
| man this was disappointing. these guys losing their dynamo in middle age too |
| Behemoth Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) | 3.5 |
| a stormy bm debut with appreciable synth effects |
| Behemoth Demigod | 3.0 |
| this one's not so great. too many doodly-dos and motions going |
| Behemoth Evangelion | 4.0 |
| this is how you do blackened death in the 21st century, a modern sound without letting it get soft and keeping the songwriting tight. polish death vox sound so good on lucifer fucking love behemoth |
| Autopsy Severed Survival | 3.5 |
| when your drummer copies your homework a bit, a lesser version of leprosy |
| Marta Gabriel Metal Queens | 2.0 |
| the last thing i expect when someone goes solo is a purely cover album. they're probably better than the originals but it's ehhh |
| Vader Revelations | 2.5 |
| mid vader, highlights in wolftribe n whisper |
| 2Pac The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory | 2.0 |
| another not so great one with generally decent effects |
| 2Pac Still I Rise | 2.0 |
| not too bad but nothing really great either |
| Vader The Art Of War | 3.0 |
| pretty damn good ep MARSZ MARSZ DABROWSKI Z ZIEMI WLOSKIEJ DO POLSKI |
| Vader Morbid Reich (demo) | 3.5 |
| relentless n raw but missing their usual tightness |
| Crystal Viper At The Edge Of Time | 2.0 |
| decent ep, female power vocals make the genre a bit more tolerable |
| Crystal Viper Queen Of The Witches | 1.5 |
| tried this out cuz she was on vader. this cluking sux man |
| Vader Iron Times | 2.0 |
| just came here for the polish. not too great on its own |
| Vader The Beast | 2.0 |
| bored vader send out an unenthusiatic album save prevail and zone |
| Vader Necropolis | 2.5 |
| mid vader without any highlights save the black metal cover |
| Vader Tibi et Igni | 4.0 |
| real tight deathrash with orchestral and melodic elements. nawet niektore piosenki na polskie! |
| 2Pac 2Pacalypse Now | 1.5 |
| 2pacolypse not. weak ass shit until brenda and tha lunatic |
| Aephanemer Memento Mori | 2.5 |
| mmm but their debut is just average melodeth sadface |
| Aephanemer Prokopton | 4.0 |
| these francophones let it go like nothing else, like early equilibrium went full melodeath instead of black folk, this is some zany shit |
| Vader The Empire | 2.0 |
| another lazy uninspiring album |
| Vader Impressions In Blood | 4.0 |
| another solid album by the vader, a little weak in the first half but nevertheless non stop entertainment |
| Vader Black to the Blind | 3.5 |
| shoddy production but they bring the ahrd n it sounds pretty good anyway |
| Vader Solitude in Madness | 3.0 |
| one final half hour output of actually decent dm, better than their last 2 for sure |
| Vader The Ultimate Incantation | 3.5 |
| way to many squiggles in the first half but cant go wrong with tracks like massacre, carrion, n saints |
| Strangulation Between Nothing and Eternity | 1.0 |
| this is some weak ass death wannabe boring shit yo. no wonder they never did anything else |
| Deathspell Omega Inquisitors of Satan | 2.0 |
| their best album. of course that isn't saying much for these losers |
| Aephanemer Know Thyself | 3.0 |
| cute little instrumental ep |
| Cradle of Filth Lovecraft & Witch Hearts | 4.0 |
| one of the best album arts ever, featuring a ton of their best bangers at this point with a slight remix here and there, and a handful of cool covers |
| Cradle of Filth Total Fucking Darkness [Remastered] | 2.0 |
| not much to these old demos but theyre there |
| Cradle of Filth Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness of Decay | 2.0 |
| seance and beautiful are great but then its an endless stream of pure air |
| Cradle of Filth Hammer of the Witches | 2.5 |
| the flatest cradle, only yours immortally can be considered worthwhile, everything else is just a competent motionsgoing that acts like its going to go somewhere and then just doesnt |
| Vader Litany | 4.0 |
| a relentless attack of ahrd but playful dm |
| Vader De Profundis | 2.5 |
| dont like this vader, they went too techy and it sounds flat and impotent |
| Deathspell Omega Drought | 1.5 |
| this isn't any better than their main shit |
| Cradle of Filth Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa | 3.5 |
| Title 4 awesome; Abyss 3.5; Nun 3.5; Sacred 3.5; Persec 3.5 cool melody; Deceiv 3.5; Lilith 4; Spawn 3; Harlot 3.5; Forgive 3 very maideny; Beyond 3.5 Bonus: Beast 3; Truth 3; Adest 3; Mistress 3.5 got a little mozart tune in there; Jagged 3 |
| Cradle of Filth Midnight in the Labyrinth | 3.0 |
| ignore the naysayers this is a cool album. essentially a film score for the dramatic b list horror movie that is cradle of filth. summer dying fast sounds particularly good in this setting |
| Cradle of Filth The Manticore and Other Horrors | 3.5 |
| more mdm than theyve ever been, highlights in abhorrent, frost on her pillow, onyx wings, and succumb to this ( ? ?? ?) |
| Cradle of Filth Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder | 2.5 |
| cradle losing their creative touch. death of love is an amazing track, especially with the addition of the lovely female vox by the mysterious carolyn gretton, and 13th caesar is pretty good despite gilles being no where near a caesar, but then its an hour of very mid tracks with cringe narration bits |
| Cradle of Filth Thornography | 3.0 |
| rock n roll cradle, but it doesnt get good until lovesick for mina, foetus rules, pentagram is great, n idc what anyone says that temptation cover is win |
| Cradle of Filth Damnation and a Day | 2.5 |
| too much work went into this mid album. highlight in mannequin but this wasnt really worth it effort or listening wise |
| Cradle of Filth Nymphetamine | 4.0 |
| cradles 2nd best album featuring gilded cunt, title tracks, coffin fodder, secret, swansong, and mother of abominations. its definitely too long and a lot of passages are pure filler but the good outweighs the bad |
| Deathspell Omega The Synarchy of Molten Bones | 1.5 |
| all i know is im bored as hell and this is some blackened dm or some shit |
| Black Sabbath Forbidden | 1.5 |
| one more mediocre album before they finally gave it a rest for nearly 2 decades |
| Cradle of Filth Midian | 4.0 |
| cof's most concrete album since they debuted, saffron's curse is an improved and solidified barthory aria, followed by runners in death magick and amor, typified by ghost, ending justifiably with veil from grace and tortured soul |
| Cradle of Filth Cruelty and the Beast | 3.0 |
| thirteen autumns, title, and bathory aria are the pillars keeping his album from falling into averageville |
| Cradle of Filth Bitter Suites to Succubi | 3.0 |
| couldve just released it as an album tbh. highlights in all hope and the much more beautifully rendered summer dying fast |
| Aephanemer A Dream Of Wilderness | 4.0 |
| melodic death metal unlike any other, atmospheric and intense, composed with constant rhythmic mindfulness, wicked french lady vox throughout with some regretfully underused cleans, aephanemer seek to take you on an unforgettable adventure. not a single off kilter track, resounding in an even more amped up climax on the last course of the album. bonus old french song cover is amazing, and total french lyric le rideau de la meduse is even better than the album english version. wish they had a couple more tracks in full french |
| Cradle of Filth From the Cradle to Enslave | 3.5 |
| great title track and some not bad extras |
| Cradle of Filth Dusk... and Her Embrace | 3.5 |
| raw amateurishly orchestrated but thats what makes it a classic. dani's not quite mastered shrieks are everywhere and they just let out what they can of their young souls. highlights in carpathia and title |
| Cradle of Filth Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phalluste | 4.0 |
| a great ep/album despite it only existing as a deal to get out of a shoddy contract, highlight in queen of winter |
| Cradle of Filth Evermore Darkly | 3.5 |
| some of the best tracks off darkly, some silliness, and a not bad new track |
| Cradle of Filth The Principle of Evil Made Flesh | 3.0 |
| the beginning of the filth, highlights in title and eve |
| Black Sabbath Cross Purposes | 1.5 |
| why did they have to stick with the talentless loser that is tony martin? |
| Black Sabbath Tyr | 1.0 |
| completely and utter boring crap. why does this have sabbath on it at all? |
| Black Sabbath Headless Cross | 1.5 |
| slightly better generic rock in vein of iron maiden |
| Black Sabbath Dehumanizer | 1.0 |
| you will most certainly be dehumanized listening to this utter shit |
| Black Sabbath The Eternal Idol | 1.0 |
| yo vertigo, some generic rock band released an album and slapped black sabbath's name on it to make millions...what do you mean you approved it? dafuq? |
| Black Sabbath Seventh Star | 1.5 |
| this sucks and hughes sucks except for angry heart being a decent rock ballad |
| Black Sabbath Mob Rules | 1.5 |
| dio sounds better here but it's more like 'the dio band', not sabbath |
| Black Sabbath Never Say Die! | 2.0 |
| the worst ozzy album without any adherence to who they used to be, total soft rock for the masses without even a single catch |
| Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy | 3.0 |
| sabbath put out a fair and catchy rock album |
| Black Sabbath Sabotage | 3.0 |
| a heavy front half with universe steadily metal going down within and after megalomania |
| Deathspell Omega Infernal Battles | 2.0 |
| wow some below average bm everyone go crazy |
| Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath | 2.5 |
| metal n rock n alt effects unite to bloody bloody the sabbath and not for any great reason |
| Black Sabbath Vol. 4 | 3.5 |
| sabbath return with some excellent metallic ahrd rock alongside metallin cornucopia and the epic under the sun |
| Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell | 3.0 |
| dio becomes the centrepiece of a band that is definitely not black sabbath but something else entirely, a metal band again but nothing lucrative esp with everything else coming out and about to come out |
| At the Gates To Drink from the Night Itself | 2.5 |
| yet another good album ruined by lindberg |
| At the Gates At War with Reality | 2.0 |
| more decent mdm tunes ruined by lindberg's shot to hell voice |
| Vader Go To Hell | 3.5 |
| some tight deathrash with an awesome cover TO THE GRAVE TO THE GRAVE |
| Cradle of Filth Existence Is Futile | 2.0 |
| like crypt nothing worth listening to except rose |
| At the Gates Terminal Spirit Disease | 1.5 |
| a weird ass album the result of record label interference in which they demanded an lp instead of the intended ep so atg just tack on some live tracks lmao. lindberg shows he actually can do some proper and decent vox on some songs but then goes back to utter shit on others, and world returned is just a crappy wannabe neoclassical instrumental |
| At the Gates With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness | 1.5 |
| the music is better but one thing is extemely clear: lindberg never learned how to scream properly. no wonder he sounds so shot at 49. similarly whatevers good on this album is also shot to death as a result |
| At the Gates The Red in the Sky Is Ours | 1.0 |
| fucking pathetic. lindberg sounds like someone broke his nose and he's begging for mercy as his assailant considers adding to the bloody pulp running down his shirt. the classical instruments are mediocre and played by amateurs, adding nothing but a 'what the hell are they doing there?' factor |
| Carcass Torn Arteries | 2.0 |
| same below avg melodeath. what's with the vegetables? old men reminding themselves about their hearts? |
| Carcass Swansong | 2.5 |
| carcass, largely due to a lack of amott's influence and from hearing their gothenburg rivals, finally realize what mdm is all about. unfortunately it still sucks |
| Carcass Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious | 1.5 |
| a confused mass of below average death metal with incongruous maiden-esque melodies thrown in |
| Deathspell Omega Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum | 2.0 |
| same average to below avg bm with boring prog sections, keep your pants on boys nothing to get excited over |
| Deathspell Omega The Furnaces of Palingenesia | 2.0 |
| some good shit but mostly behemoth fanboy blackened dm with the usual garbage prog thrown in for good measure |
| Carcass Surgical Steel | 2.0 |
| sounds better than heartwork without amott, band is just as confused as ever, going from deathgrind to melodeath and thinking that that's where they belong. average mdm, walkers vox sound like a cartoon villain |
| Black Sabbath Master of Reality | 3.5 |
| sabbath go full metal and master the reality of the riff |
| Black Sabbath 13 | 1.0 |
| jesus why bother reuniting just to throw out a pointless filler album |
| 2Pac All Eyez on Me | 2.5 |
| inevitably a lot of filler on a 2 hour album, but generally the beats/effects are good, and enough jewels exist among the rubble to keep it going. highlights are the powerful life goes on followed by only god can judge me, with special mentions in rather be ya nigga and thug passion |
| Black Sabbath Born Again | 1.0 |
| talk about an identity crisis. cover is half cool half cringe. gillan fucking sucks and destroys any value this album might have had |
| Cryptopsy The Unspoken King | 1.0 |
| at least no one'll blame me for 1ing this shiteeeeeeeeee |
| Cryptopsy And Then You'll Beg | 1.5 |
| yeah i'll beg alright...for something good! same shit but worse, one look at disalvo and you'd think he'd be able to growl real nice instead of the crystal clear pipsqueak vox on here. dat didgeridoo tho |
| Cryptopsy Once Was Not | 1.0 |
| idk if it's bc i've been listening to nothing but crypt for the past few hours or bc this just sucks but this album is weak as hell. i mean i usually commit a 1.5 just for the general heaviness of a td album but this seems not even to have that |
| Cryptopsy Blasphemy Made Flesh | 2.5 |
| the shitty production and generally more traditional dm song structures and vocals make this the top of cryptopsy's entire discography |
| Cryptopsy Whisper Supremacy | 1.5 |
| why did the production fade between none so vile and this? also ew mildly shouty vox that i can understand get tf outta here. flame to the surface can fuck right off with that repetition |
| Cryptopsy Cryptopsy | 2.0 |
| yeah this still sucks. a bit lighter than it ought to be. cover makes a pretty cool tattoo though. n dat elevator ding gets me everytime |
| Cryptopsy None So Vile | 2.0 |
| ah, techdeath. i hate techdeath. as a canadian, i especially hate french canadian techdeath. it all sounds the same, the vox suck balls in the same mundane undecipherable inhalations or squeals, and it forgoes any kind of musicianship for trying to be as br00tal as possible, but just comes out flat instead. cryptopsy's most famous album isn't anything special and deserves a trv 1.5 at best, though the fact they did this back in 96 is somewhat impressive |
| Black Sabbath Paranoid | 3.0 |
| not anywhere near as good as self titled, next to no atmosphere, more generic rock rhythms n riffs, only gets steadily metal on iron man and electric funeral and somewhat on war pigs |
| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath | 3.5 |
| title, wizard and nib are the birth of metal. the beginning, but far, far from the end |
| Bathory Destroyer of Worlds | 3.0 |
| the first bathory album quorthon did solo, first third of the album is very soft with electric guitar providing a minimal frame most of the time until 109, then picks up slightly with more prominent but still simple, punk and even nu riffage. easily bathory's worst release especially after the 5 years since blood on ice, but evidentally a necessary transitional period in order to get the softer folk elements just right on his trv magna opera, the nordland albums, as the closer day of wrath heavily implies. for most bathory i keep the entire disc in my library, but for this i can only deem lake of fire, 109, and death from above |
| Bathory Blood on Ice | 4.0 |
| like the title suggests this album is a slow accumulative snowfall building up into a great glacier, shredding its enemies in half like so many vulnerable titanics |
| Autopsy Mental Funeral | 3.0 |
| classic cover is win, dm parts are good but too much doom brings it down a lot |
| Bathory Octagon | 3.5 |
| bathy's 2nd worst album, yeah. but a bad album? NOT ON YOUR LIFE. in the vein of requiem but even more down in the dirt thrash with quorthon just going where the fuck ever EAT MY SHIT!! SUCK MY DICK!! |
| Bathory Requiem | 4.0 |
| slightly charred extremely dirty thrash, whole album goes ahrd m/ |
| Bathory Twilight of the Gods | 3.0 |
| quorthon enters his silly phase. he goes overboard trying to be epic but forgets to add substance, every track missing its mark except title |
| Carcass Symphonies of Sickness | 2.5 |
| grindy death metal, not bad |
| Carcass Reek of Putrefaction | 2.0 |
| not quite grind yet. more like shorthand potato death metal |
| Bathory Hammerheart | 4.0 |
| quorthon gets experimental and goes full out folk allowing the rising trv kvlt to have their fill of his creation. not everything is fleshed out but baptize in fire and ice and especially one rode to asa bay are immortal masterpieces |
| Obliteration Black Death Horizon | 1.5 |
| another boring wannabe dm album. they get some credit for adding a couple extra things |
| Obliteration Perpetual Decay | 1.0 |
| there should be a new genre coined for this kind of album, baby dm or deathlite. weak, slow, unoriginal, this kind of music only serves br00tal kids thinking theyre listening to something heavy |
| Bathory Nordland II | 5.0 |
| The greatest adventure depicted by music the world has ever known |
| Bathory Nordland I | 4.5 |
| the first edition of quorthon's absolute masterpiece, every track is an epic folk treasure |
| Bathory Blood Fire Death | 4.5 |
| blazing 10k horsepower riffs galloping across blood flooded fields and mountains of slain in every quarter |
| Bathory Under the Sign of the Black Mark | 4.5 |
| quorthon inducts symphonics, later to reach their peak in such as emperor, and slow tempo atmospheric epics, which he himself would master on the nordland albums, into the trv kvlt. the whole album is pure win but call from the grave, enter the eternal fire, and 13 candles, the slow tempo epics, really steal the show |
| Obliteration Nekropsalms | 1.5 |
| just some run of the mill stale dm |
| At the Gates The Nightmare of Being | 2.0 |
| the music is fine but...he sounds so old...old man metal............. |
| Deathspell Omega Paracletus | 1.0 |
| fuck you and fuck this shit |
| Dark Tranquillity Atoma | 2.0 |
| more almost standout moments on this album than their previous or successive, but nothing worth rating above a 2 as a whole |
| Dark Tranquillity Construct | 2.0 |
| even the most consistent bands eventually reach their peak and begin their descent. dt is gettin old and construct shows it |
| Dark Tranquillity Fiction | 2.5 |
| nothing 2.5; lesser 2.5; terminus 3; blind 2.5; icipher 3; storm 2; empty 2.5; misery's 3.5; focus 2.5; mundane 2 |
| Dark Tranquillity We Are the Void | 2.5 |
| shadow 3.5; dream 3; fatalist 4; absence 2.5; grandest 2; ignition 2; silent 1.5 creepy; arkh 2.5; void 2.5; surface 2.5; iridium 3 about 2 mins too long, often sound overproduced and unnecessarily thick |
| Dark Tranquillity Character | 3.0 |
| good overall, certainly about stanne's best vocal performance, but the songs themselves seem a step down from damage done and indeed make out to be flatter than their more vibrant predecessors. best track is lost to apathy |
| Dark Tranquillity Projector | 1.5 |
| worse than their debut besides sun fired blanks |
| Dark Tranquillity Haven | 2.5 |

| Dark Tranquillity Of Chaos and Eternal Night | 3.0 |
| when your ep is better than your first two albums |
| Dark Tranquillity Lost to Apathy | 2.5 |
| pretty solid ep, title is win |
| Dark Tranquillity Enter Suicidal Angels | 3.0 |
| this ep is nothing but win, especially archetype |
| Dark Tranquillity The Mind's I | 2.5 |
| is decent but still trying to figure themselves out, complete with poor female vox |
| Mayhem Daemon | 3.0 |
| a culmination of their more straightforward 2000s bm sound, essentially a sequel to chimera without any highlights |
| Mayhem Pure Fucking Armageddon | 3.5 |
| PVRE. FVCKING. AAARRRRMMMMMAAAAAGGGEEEDDDOOOONNNNNNNN!!! rehearsal tracks go ahrd |
| Mayhem Deathcrush | 4.0 |
| THE TRV KVLT ASCENDANT HAS A SON AND HIS NAME IS MAYHEM |
| Mayhem Esoteric Warfare | 3.0 |
| a middling meander between chimera and their blogs, neither great nor entirely worthless |
| Mayhem Wolf's Lair Abyss | 3.5 |
| the resurrected mayhem is, well, zombified. a brand new guitarist means completely new riffs, and from here on they would become prog infested, untrv rot mixed in with the black ichor. RIP dead, RIP euronymous |
| Mayhem Ordo ad Chao | 1.0 |
| absolute fucking shit. this isnt bm its fucking gothic theatre what a joke |
| Mayhem Chimera | 3.5 |
| as if gdw didnt make abundantly clear mayhem is now an entirely different band, and in 2004 thats not a bad thing. thankfully the overprog fascination of gdw is satiated and this release harkens back to their kvlt origin days while very much creating a new sound, light yet satisfyingly intense bm with tasteful prog riff sections creatively and skillfully integrated, an unapolegetic and in your face bass, and maniac sounding just like his name implies. highlights in rape humanity with pride and the bass driven impious devious leper lord |
| Mayhem Grand Declaration of War | 1.0 |
| lmaooooooo this is what dead and euronymous died for? sheer and utter crap, completely vntrv, an embarrassing mess for black metal and especially mayhems legacy |
| In Flames I, the Mask (Arcade Version) | 3.0 |
| holy shit this is infinitely better than anything they've done in decades. dunno if this or equilibrium's 8 bit renegades is better |
| In Flames I, the Mask | 1.5 |
| latest effort is the same. our house nearly forces this to a 1 |
| In Flames Battles | 1.5 |
| this and sirens they finally dropped any pretense of being metallers in any form as well as thinking they were doing anything new/cool and have settled comfortably in their mainstream nude/alt rock persona. credit for thus being more coherent, but the muz itself is ok bro. greatest greed isn't actually bad |
| In Flames Siren Charms | 2.0 |
| not bad for nude muddle tbh |
| Deathspell Omega Si Monvmentvm Reqvires Circvmspice | 2.0 |
| some overhyped basic bm with weak vox |
| In Flames Sounds of a Playground Fading | 1.0 |
| how is it that if they were so determined to keep on their new path yet every album title since seems to evoke regret and nostalgia for better times? anyway idk what this even is anymore, just common alt rock at this point. why does it go on for so long? |
| In Flames A Sense of Purpose | 1.0 |
| I FEEL LIKE SHIT BUT AT LEAST I FEEL SOMETHING AT ALLLLLLL |
| In Flames Come Clarity | 1.0 |
| same as their last 2 but now almost completely void of anything resembling mdm in favour of some mccore. what a lollapalooza |
| In Flames Soundtrack to Your Escape | 1.5 |
| same nude muddle with mdm influences jajaja |
| Tool Fear Inoculum | 1.5 |
| a wait worse than wintersun for a movie length album, has a few decent elements but its nothing no one else has done before |

| Tool 10,000 Days | 1.0 |
| finally i can give one of these their trv rating. am bored plz help |
| AC/DC Power Up | 2.5 |
| a fair 70s rock album brought up in 2020 |
| AC/DC Rock or Bust | 1.5 |
| jukebox nothins |
| At the Gates Slaughter of the Soul | 2.5 |
| atg try real hard here but lindberg's high pitched whiny scream almost 'core vocals are annoying af and take away from the otherwise decent music, though even then it'd only be worth a 3 |
| Carcass Heartwork | 2.0 |
| largely mediocre mdm but has buried n certificate |
| Dark Tranquillity Skydancer | 1.5 |
| very poor debut. unorganized rhythms and melodies lead to total monotonous chaos. anything that would stand out is eaten alive by the general noise until there's nothing left. anders' vocals are deeper here than he's ever done, yet they're also the worst he's ever done, including later flames albums. the name skydancer would evoke suggestions of grace and beauty, but no such thing here exists. even the female vocals are mediocre and talentless. it's like this was a demo rehearsal session for lunar strain where they later retained the general idea but dumped the actual content and the members of dt decided to release it as their own |
| Bathory The Return of the Darkness and Evil | 4.0 |
| THE TRV KVLT ASCENDANT |
| Bathory Bathory | 4.0 |
| AND THUS THE TRV KVLT WAS BORN |
| AC/DC Black Ice | 3.0 |

| AC/DC Stiff Upper Lip | 2.0 |
| notta, nothing to see here, an old barely functional plug |
| Gorgoroth Instinctus Bestialis | 2.0 |
| more of the same as last but a bit faster and more generic vocals. have to wonder who does the latin to end up with ad omnipotens aeterne diabolus |
| Gorgoroth Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt | 2.0 |
| really weak black more like modern rock than anything tbh |
| Gorgoroth Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam | 2.0 |
| more generic gorgoroth no gimmicks will ever same them playing at this level or millenium |
| Gorgoroth Twilight of the Idols | 2.0 |
| another poor release however procreating satan is kind of fun PRAISE SATAN PRAISE SATAN |
| Gorgoroth Incipit Satan | 2.0 |
| poor riffs plus lame audible satan preaching equals terrible bm |
| Gorgoroth Destroyer | 3.0 |
| nothing amazing but basically a progenitor for krallicey bm |
| Gorgoroth Under the Sign of Hell | 2.5 |
| ggoth spittin mid af bm in 97 like its 1990 did anyone even hear this when it came out |
| Gorgoroth Antichrist | 3.0 |
| very short front heavy bm release with highlights in bergtrollets hevn and band track minus the filler |
| Gorgoroth Pentagram | 3.5 |
| GORGOROTH JOINS THE KVLT WITH SANGUINE OFFERINGS IN BEGRAVELSESNATT AND MAANESKYGGENS SLAVE |
| AC/DC Ballbreaker | 2.0 |
| some of their old spirit but nothing significant |
| AC/DC The Razors Edge | 2.0 |
| thunderstruck is a bonnie era hit but everything else is wannabe rock and crudity |
| AC/DC Blow Up Your Video | 2.0 |
| more of the same until you hit the decently powerful ballad in twos up, a little gem ac/dc wouldnt seem capable of |
| AC/DC Fly On The Wall | 2.0 |
| an even less inspiring rock album, becoming out of date like the more energy losing and less versatile dc in their name |
| AC/DC Flick Of The Switch | 2.5 |
| acey deecy goin ahrd but without any real bangers |
| Mayhem De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas | 4.0 |
| the golden standard |
| Obliteration Cenotaph Obscure | 2.5 |
| a lot better in the second half. some cool rumbly bits, could do without the echoey shouts |
| Mayhem Out from the Dark | 4.0 |
| 1989 rehearsal with dead that led to the darkness of their german shows, funeral fog is so good on here omggggg prob the best version |
| Mayhem Dawn of the Black Hearts | 4.0 |
| one of the most bootlegged metal albums oat, and good cause for it. amazing show despite the quality, later extra covers barely audible but sound like a party |
| Mayhem Live in Leipzig | 4.0 |
| when dead was still alive and an epic vocalist, funeral fog through pagan fears go fking AHRD, original lp also has additional studio versions of carnage and freezing moon |
| AC/DC For Those About To Rock We Salute You | 2.5 |
| completely generic ac/dc. bonnie was prob plenty involved in bib before he died because this has no real spirit |
| In Flames Reroute to Remain | 1.5 |
| completely nude muddle, but because their background results in a generally heavier sound found in nude, especially in anders' vocals. tbh with the energy they put behind it in the excitement of doing something different it's not that bad, but nothing's worth listening to in real time and it goes on for too long |
| In Flames Clayman | 3.0 |
| top heavy classic rocky mdm that falls over after title |

| Tool Lateralus | 2.0 |
| get me away from this shit trv 0.5 parabola is decent but doesnt save it |
| AC/DC Back In Black | 3.0 |
| bonnie should have sang on this, most consistent ac/dc with hells bells and title taking the lead |
| AC/DC Highway To Hell | 3.0 |
| the highway to hell...is pretty mild. just has title, tho girls got rhythm is cute and LMAO the mork n mindy reference in night prowler |
| AC/DC Powerage | 2.5 |
| yea mild powerage it'll keep you alive if you conserve it but cant do too much with this |
| In Flames Whoracle | 2.0 |
| Jotun 3/5; Food 2.5/5; Gyro 2/5 filler track Stars 2.5/5 a bit too gay; Hive 2/5 hate the chorus; Jester 1.5/5 annoying; Morph 2/5; Worlds 1.5/5 filler track; 666 1.5/5 more filler; Every Counts 3/5; Title 1/5 why; Clad 3/5 but don't count later additions. a disappointing album after jester n lunar |

| In Flames Lunar Strain | 3.5 |
| flames' debut is a great start, though odd hearing stanne instead of anders. prob some of stanne's best efforts actually, edging on a black metal shriek. female vox clearly inexperienced but beautiful, love the extra instruments |
| Tool Ænima | 2.0 |
| im so bored kill me now trv rating 1 omgggggggggggggggggggggggg couldnt wait for this to end |
| Tool Undertow | 1.5 |
| funky nude muddle is cool, vox only sound good while in a passion, overly slow/silent bits go on for too long, last track nearly puts this at a 1 |
| AC/DC Let There Be Rock | 3.0 |
| ac/dc's most consistent album yet, all trv rockers with highlights in title and rosie with their wicked solos |
| Motorhead Bad Magic | 2.5 |

| Motorhead Aftershock | 2.5 |
| a perfectly average mhead, but who else goes out rockin in their late 60s? |

| a very solid golden years album rocker after rocker |
| Emperor Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire... | 3.0 |

| ROCK OUT WITH YOUR COCK OUT! GO OVER AND KICK HIS ASS! a lesser but not without its charms typical motorhead |
| Motorhead Kiss of Death | 2.5 |
| some of the most by the numbers mhead but saves itself from be my baby onwards |
| Motorhead Inferno | 2.5 |
| one of their heaviest tracks ever in terminal show but the inferno cools down |
| AC/DC High Voltage (Australia) | 2.5 |
| ac/dc started their career with a bunch of mids, tho it features their only srs love song in, uh, love song |
| AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap | 2.5 |
| title fking ruuuuuuullllzzzzzz, n ofc big BAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSS, rocker n problem child get close, rest is a big meh |
| AC/DC High Voltage | 2.5 |
| long way to the top rulz ass and when the bagpipes come in my god, rock singer is dece, TNT is the greatest rock song oat, and it makes me very sad that i end up having to 2.5 its album due to a lackluster everything else, exchanging rocker and the school days cover for little lover and shes got balls was a terrible mistake |
| Motorhead Hammered | 2.5 |
| middling modern motorhead |
| Motorhead We Are Motorhead | 3.5 |
| a great follow up to snake bite, another album that rocks AHRD |
| Motorhead Snake Bite Love | 3.5 |
| despite their self criticism this is easily mheads most powerful rocker with a highlight in the song lemmy hated the most, night side |
| Coroner Grin | 1.5 |
| what is this shit. only good song is lethargic age. boring, lazy, nu metally, no wonder this was their last album |
| Coroner R.I.P. | 3.5 |
| early deathrash wins, highlights in reborn, suicide, and spiral dream |
| Coroner Punishment for Decadence | 3.0 |
| appreciate the neoclassical elements on arclite. pretty solid with nice grooves in parts |
| Coroner No More Color | 2.0 |
| very disappointing. more of a warm up to mv with less interesting riffage, filler start-stops and basic thrash sections |
| Motorhead Overnight Sensation | 2.5 |
| overnight stagnation motionsgoing motorhead n boy put those muttons back on rn |
| Motorhead Sacrifice | 3.0 |
| mhead incorporate the new groove sound while retaining their classic metally rock highlight in over your shoulder |
| Motorhead Bastards | 3.0 |
| starts with a slew of great metallic punky rockers, only to absolutely destroy the mood with the unnecessary and intentionally horrible daddy, then proceeding on a train of average motorhead |
| Coroner Mental Vortex | 4.0 |
| smooth transitions and slow sections, thrashy melodies. main riffs of son of lilith almost like blooddrunk. don't care for semtex. sirens is boring. metamorphosis pretty cool riffage and damn dat solo. pale sister's groovy af. about life is a pretty cool mdm song. gonna pretend the beatles cover isnt there |
| Motorhead March Or Die | 2.5 |
| a fair enough motorhead but they could use an oil change |
| Motorhead 1916 | 2.5 |
| lazy motionsgoing motorhead with a couple ballads |
| Agalloch The Serpent and the Sphere | 1.5 |
| an album of lullabies. perfect for getting your kids to sleep. alright plateau of the ages is nice |
| Motorhead Rock 'N' Roll | 3.0 |
| like it says on the tin metallic punky rock n rolls |
| Motorhead Orgasmatron | 3.0 |
| punky metallic rockers that have a great feel but the near nonsense lyrics ruin any pragmatics |
| Motorhead On Parole | 2.5 |
| motorhead at their rawest and most primitive what a bunch of douchebags united extortionists were |
| Agalloch Pale Folklore | 1.5 |
| a bit more melodic and raw version of all their later snoozers |
| Motorhead Another Perfect Day | 3.0 |
| another motorin rocker |
| Motorhead Iron Fist | 3.0 |
| motorhead motorin along but again only title puts the pedal to the metal |
| Agalloch Marrow of the Spirit | 1.5 |
| more of the same boring shit thats been unnecessarily toted as innovative etc. this album made me realize his vocals are actually quite weak and little bitchy |
| Motorhead Ace of Spades | 3.0 |
| title rulz and live to win is good too |
| Motorhead Bomber | 2.5 |
| motorheads first total idle, nothing pops except the blowback |
| Motorhead Overkill | 3.0 |
| title trv rocks these general motors |
| Motorhead Motörhead | 2.5 |
| poor production takes a lot away from this but the general motorhead idea is there |
| Venom Storm The Gates | 3.5 |
| continues the sound of from the very depths but to a lesser degree, this time the standouts are bring out your dead, notorious, i dark lord, beaten to a pulp, and over my dead body. cant wait for the next venom album!!! |
| Venom From the Very Depths | 4.0 |
| easily the best venom album since welcome to hell. clear but hellish production, every track is a banger and slays poseurs |
| Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain | 2.0 |
| first two tracks are excellent, becoming everything the mantle wishes it was (elec guitars cover a multitude of sins), though they go on for too long. 3rd is negligible, but from then on it begins to stagnate. fire above is far too repetitive and goes on forever, then everything after that is mantle pt 2. bonus track is just a short white noise yt video with some diddles at the end |
| Venom Cast in Stone | 2.5 |
| evidentally the reunion didnt go so well as this is easily the worst cronos album. not a single banger except if you count raised in hell for the lolvox |
| Venom The Waste Lands | 2.0 |
| another haphazard cronosless album that gets better at pretending its venom but its very much not. they line up the themes more or less again but the songs are still babys first thrash with some random synths. crucified is so forgettable cronos would write another much better track of the same name for from the very depths, and clarisse is the most godawful thing allowed to have the name of venom stamped upon it |
| Venom Metal Black | 3.5 |
| dirty toned grungy thrash with antechrist, dark realm, lucifer rising, maleficarum and title ruling ass |
| Agalloch The Mantle | 2.0 |
| a mega fanboy album everyone and their grandmother thinks is satan's gift to man, but rly just a bunch of poseurs believing bc this still technically has riffs and raspy 'black' vox it is 'metal'. that said its not all bad, the acoustic sections do have that prolonged asmr feel to them, and haughm's rasps are quite nice, though he cant hold a tune when singing cleanly (hence all the layering). rather than the amazing bastion of whatever poseur term this gets labelled, this album is simply ambient acoustic with some easy listening bm thrown in for good measure. trv rating 1.5 |
| Venom Temples of Ice | 1.5 |
| after prime evil, which im guessing was mostly written by cronos since its a great album, they just have no direction without him. riffs are lame, dolans shouts have no conviction, and the songs are plainly lackluster with barely a reference to satan. the paul miller tribute is just sad, his ghost says yeah thanks for nothing, lamest song on the album. playtime is just another sequel to teachers pet after already doing skool daze, acid is wannabe angel dust, speed king for filler, and the title track as well as being the albums concept has nothing to do with anything, and what is the hell is that outro? where is my satan? this isnt a venom album |
| Venom Hell | 3.0 |
| la rage's debut definitely took its toll as the riffs are unusually lackluster. still straight to hell, the power and the glory, esp fall from grace, title, and evil perfection make it worth listening to, but then its 7 tracks straight of just completely uninspired venom |
| Venom Fallen Angels | 3.0 |
| rather sparse for trv bangers on this modern venom but hammerhead, pedal to the metal and esp hail satanas rulz |
| Venom Resurrection | 3.5 |
| a new lineup with cronos' younger brother on drums, and this thing goes fucking AHRD. grungy metal all over the place and in your face. undeniably fun, this would be top venom if not for certain cullable tracks |
| Venom Prime Evil | 3.5 |
| venom isnt venom without cronos but mantas and abaddon bring the riffs and fills to make the wins in parasite, skeletal dance, the megalomania cover, insane, and skool daze |
| Venom Calm Before the Storm | 3.0 |
| the last early cronos venom featuring metal punk, under a spell, fire, gypsy, and muscle ( ? ?? ?) |
| Venom Possessed | 3.5 |
| possessed by powerdrive, satanachist, harmony dies, title, hellchild, and especially wing and a prayer |
| Venom At War with Satan | 3.0 |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH |

| Judas Priest Turbo | 2.5 |

| Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith | 3.0 |
| more metal than any previous but a top heavy album, highlights in jawbreaker and sentinel |
| Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance | 3.0 |

| jp cement their metal glory with exciter and title amongst general rockins |
| Judas Priest Sin After Sin | 2.5 |
| riff after riff as jp increase the metal in their balls out rockin' |
| Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny | 2.0 |
| evolves from the metallic blues of rocka rolla to metallic 70s ahrd rock with tyrant coming real close to metal |
| Judas Priest Rocka Rolla | 1.5 |
| the metallic bluesy origins of an undeniable legend, a legend thats always been BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLSSSSSS |
| Possessed Revelations of Oblivion | 1.0 |
| 33 years just for some overlengthy garbage thrash? really? how did this band ever come up with seven churches? |
| Possessed The Eyes of Horror | 1.5 |
| good thing they broke up or we'd have yet another thrash band with a slew of shitty albums |
| Possessed Beyond the Gates | 1.5 |
| intro is hauntingly melodic. the rest is basic thrash except for some random doodly-dos on tribulation and title, ones on title sounding like the ring of an old telephone (bet that's what they are). vocals are annoying. really big disappointment after the masterpiece that is seven churches |
| Possessed Seven Churches | 4.5 |
| THE FIRST TRV DEATH METAL ALBUM M/ |
| Cannibal Corpse Violence Unimagined | 2.5 |
| love the poppy grooves on surround kill devour, damn its my favourite cc song now, the modern dm relentless thrust on overtorture is addictive too |
| Cannibal Corpse Red Before Black | 2.0 |
| i take it back, this is the worst cc album cover, as well as title. ok so we got unnecessarily slow sections that they claim as 'doom' elements, corpse actually singing and holding notes of parts of shedding skin though is interesting, like the chugs in scavenger, not much else here though |
| Cannibal Corpse A Skeletal Domain | 3.0 |
| album cover is epic, music isnt bad either, combining newer and older sounds. corpse going for more throaty shouts is nice, course that doesnt make it any better than what it is, admire the grooves on asphyxiate though. you know what im actually gonna give this a 3, there actually exists another decent corpse album |
| Cannibal Corpse Torture | 2.5 |
| demented aggression is some nice thrashy shit. the best album overall they've done since bleeding |
| Cannibal Corpse Evisceration Plague | 1.5 |
| more of the same ol' corpse. better than kill anyway. title track is just a stage resting song |
| Cannibal Corpse Kill | 1.0 |
| what kind of boring lazy ass album cover is this? the crystal clear production on this is bleh and makes them sound commercial as fuck. which they are anyway but still, takes away whatever unique sound they used to have. album cover reflects on the songs |
| Cannibal Corpse The Wretched Spawn | 1.5 |
| typical garbage corpse only attracting attention bc vagina |
| Cannibal Corpse Gore Obsessed | 2.0 |
| gore obsessed yes. riff obsessed not rly |
| Cannibal Corpse Bloodthirst | 1.5 |
| total commerciality complete. this is what mcdonalds would serve if they were a dm record company |
| Cannibal Corpse Gallery of Suicide | 2.0 |
| boring cover, why are you naked n how are you casually standing straight up while disemboweling yourself? n the musics just about as boring n nonsensical save every bone broken |
| Cannibal Corpse Vile | 2.0 |
| the least interesting album cover next to suicide, kill, n plague, penis or not. not impressed with corpsegrinder's vocals here, very flat and boring, though his screams are certainly better than barnes |
| Cannibal Corpse The Bleeding | 2.5 |
| mid decent corpse dm but they stick to the signature flat monotonous sound |
| Cannibal Corpse Tomb of the Mutilated | 2.5 |
| some cc classics along with a bunch of their usual bleh dm |
| Cannibal Corpse Butchered at Birth | 2.5 |
| i've always wondered: how does the baby still have all it's flesh while the mother is almost a complete skeleton? it still has it's umbilical cord and everything. do the zombies wait until it's mother is completely defleshed before working on the baby? is the zombie on the left just cooing at it, imagining the best way to murder it while the one on the right completes the job on the mom? srs questions i need answers. anyway cc are the epitome of a band doing everything technically right in a genre yet depriving it of any soul |
| Cannibal Corpse Eaten Back to Life | 3.0 |
| decent debut by the corpse grind |
| Death The Sound of Perseverance | 3.0 |
| destroys symbolic, more streamlined techthrash than thoughts |
| Death Symbolic | 1.5 |
| proggy melodeath gone completely wrong. chuck's vocals are horrible, and not in a good way, a strained rasp almost as annoying and intolerable as lindberg, like he's being squeezed to death by a baby giant. banal riffs that go no where, par for the course in prog, but also melodic riffs stolen straight out of the worst of gothenburg metal, the denial of which is proof for total aural dysfunction. the slivers of death metal that do show up are standard melodeath riffs found on all such albums. how ironic the greatest "death metal" album is just melodied prog, when so many claim to hate melodeath but because its chuck and death and gothenburg praise after praise is heaped upon it. the only thing redeemable about this album is the wonderful and emphasizingly melodic chorus to 1000 eyes |

| thrash is good, prog is bad, bass lines are terrible, highlight in nothing is everything |
| Death Human | 3.5 |
| veritable deathrash with a tasteful amount of if still momentum ruining prog sections |
| Death Spiritual Healing | 1.5 |

| a few cool riffs but pretty boring and pointless filler filler filler |
| Megadeth Th1rt3en | 1.5 |
| never dead is a cool rock song but the rest is fillerzilla |
| Megadeth Endgame | 2.0 |
| thrashier bits at the beginning are decent, and story ends is a nice lil rock song. everything else is pretty lame though |

| some dece riffs but nothing compelling |
| Megadeth The World Needs a Hero | 1.5 |
| embarrassingly bad rock songs with few moments of win in between |
| Megadeth Risk | 1.0 |
| insomnia made me laugh. this is really sad man, trv rating 0.5 |
| Megadeth Cryptic Writings | 1.0 |
| slow, lazy and boring. the minimalist art itself warns you this is a filler album you'd do well to avoid |
| Megadeth Youthanasia | 2.5 |
| a tous le monde is win, rest is mid rock songs |
| Megadeth Countdown to Extinction | 1.5 |
| every song on this album is ruined by some extraneous bullshit dave just had to inject and make too prominent, only a few good riffs in any case |
| Megadeth Rust in Peace | 2.5 |
| holy wars is win but everything else mixes good riffs with wtf why and they commit suicide. on the contrary, its exactly BECAUSE I DO know thrash that i dislike this album |
| Megadeth So Far, So Good... So What! | 2.0 |
| this album is testament enough to not do drugs |
| Megadeth Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? | 3.0 |
| peak butt metal with a clincher in last words |
| Megadeth Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! | 3.5 |

| Slayer Divine Intervention | 2.0 |
| uninspiring slayer labelled thrash |
| Slayer Seasons in the Abyss | 1.5 |
| vox are better but other than war ensemble pretty damn boring/generic |
| Slayer South of Heaven | 2.0 |
| very boring overall, arayas vox again ruining a lot of riffs, but the riffs themselves are quite childish as well |
| Slayer Reign in Blood | 2.5 |
| araya's crystal clear shout ruins this a lot, manly riffs with prepubescent whines, still dig angel of death and title tho |
| Slayer Hell Awaits | 3.5 |
| more death metal rhythms and araya's HHEEEEEEELLLLLL bellow is legit, easily slayers best |
| Slayer Show No Mercy | 2.0 |
| starts good but quickly begins to slay nothing but my insomnia, except when araya yelps like he dropped the soap in prison, then i wake up long enough to want to punch him in the throat. highlights in evil n metal storm/slayer |
| Iron Maiden Senjutsu | 1.5 |
| isnt completely worthless, stratego is dece, but goes on for way too long mid at best and horribly snore at worst |
| Iron Maiden The Book of Souls | 1.5 |
| holy fuck what a sleepy album. some goods parts on eternity n red but ffs a movie length album just to bore the fuck out of u |
| Iron Maiden The Final Frontier | 1.5 |
| basic maideny tunes without any highlights, naturally too long |
| Iron Maiden A Matter of Life and Death | 2.5 |
| maiden just doing it out of habit by this point, a lot of bleh but some wins like diff world, lord o light, legacy |
| Iron Maiden Dance of Death | 3.5 |
| almost as good as beast, highlights in rainmaker, montsegur, face, age n journey |
| Iron Maiden Brave New World | 2.5 |
| bruce is back bb. decent melorock tunes but goes on too long. at least the vox are correct |
| Iron Maiden Virtual XI | 1.5 |
| slightly better tracks that almost go with blaze's voice but would have been better with bruce and still poor song writing overall |
| Iron Maiden The X Factor | 1.0 |
| bruce dick was the one who deflowered the maiden. this is just adultery |
| Iron Maiden Fear of the Dark | 1.5 |
| they completely drop the ball. even the couple decent tracks lack the oomph of previous album highlights |
| Iron Maiden No Prayer for the Dying | 2.0 |
| tailgunner is win followed by a slew of lagging maidens |
| Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son | 2.5 |
| good riffs but wish dickenson had deeper vox, dont care for elongated minimal instrum sections |
| Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time | 3.0 |
| wasted years is my favourite maiden track oat, title is good as well as sea, but then it just goes on to stagnate and i keep asking them to go back to the first half of the album |
| Iron Maiden Powerslave | 2.0 |
| no idea how this ends up being everyones favourite. piece was a flop and powerslave is just continued motionsgoing after aces high |
| Iron Maiden Piece of Mind | 1.5 |
| this album would be entirely boring and pointless if it weren't for the legendary trooper |
| Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast | 3.5 |
| best maiden, title to hills to my favourite im track in hallowed is such a jam |
| Iron Maiden Killers | 2.5 |
| wrathchild n another life are my highlights but prodigal n purgatory bring this down a lot |
| Iron Maiden Iron Maiden | 3.0 |
| alternates between trv metal and prog slog, smartly selected bookends are the main wins |
| Metallica Hardwired...To Self-Destruct | 2.0 |
| their best effort in decades, what should have come after justice, a gradual descent instead of nosediving with the black album and two loads of shit. nice melodies and structure of moth into flame, spit out the bone is a decent closer. james isnt annoying this time, but the album lacks overall appeal to garner anything higher than 2. and to answer your question no youre not savage ur an old man |
| Metallica Death Magnetic | 1.5 |
| the instrumental track is probably the best out of this incredibly boring album |
| Metallica Reload | 1.0 |
| only slightly better than their last load of shit. load of shit was 0.5, if that, this is a trv 1 |
| Metallica Load | 1.0 |
| completely forgettable. pathetic. a total waste of time. would give less than 1 if I could |
| Metallica ...And Justice for All | 1.5 |
| the album they stopped making metal. welcome to the world of buttrockicka |
| Metallica Master of Puppets | 3.0 |
| u only come here for battery, title n damage |
| Metallica St. Anger | 1.5 |
| music itself actually quite good, thrashy and grungy, but brought down heavily by shitty vocals and even shittier lyrics, invisible kid the worst of the bunch. damn shame, as an instrumental album at least 3/5, but shitty clean vocals and downright retarded lyrics bring it down |
| Metallica Ride the Lightning | 2.5 |
| bell tolls is easily their best song, and title is classic, but fire n death could have been better, and the rest of the album is boring filler |
| Metallica Metallica | 2.0 |
| meh rock songs save sandman bringing some vibes |
| Metallica Kill 'Em All | 3.5 |
| a great start for american thrash but one they would never attempt to replicate or build upon, met's only real thrash album |
