| Aerosmith Toys in the Attic |
| Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies |
| Ambush (SWE) Firestorm |

| David Allan Coe 17 Greatest Hits |
| Death The Sound of Perseverance |
| Deep Purple Deep Purple In Rock |
| These guys went from a mediocre prog-rock outfit to one of the all-time greats in under a year. This is the true debut as far as I'm concerned. |
| Def Leppard Pyromania |
| Def Leppard Hysteria |
| Demolition Hammer Epidemic of Violence |
| "SHACKLESANDCHAINANDBLOODYMEAT" |

| Fucking listen to this. One of the most riffing-est albums ever recorded. |
| Farrah Abraham My Teenage Dream Ended |
| Freedom Call Eternity |
| Ghost (SWE) Meliora |
| Grant MacDonald Ram Ranch |
| Helloween Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I |
| Helloween Helloween |
This is gonna make a lot of people (including me), very, very happy. I'm glad they didn't
do a copy job of their 80's output, and managed to branch out sonically; covering all eras
of the band pretty well. It's no Keeper of the Seven Keys, but it's pretty damn close. |
| Hot Dad Wrestle |
| Huey Lewis and the News Sports |
| Huey Lewis and the News Greatest Hits |
| Desert island album right here. Huey was the soundtrack of my youth. |
| Iced Earth The Glorious Burden |
| Yo, yoooooooooo. I fuckin' love this. |
| Immortal At the Heart of Winter |
| HOLY SHIT. |
| Impellitteri Screaming Symphony |
| Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time |
| Maiden comes back stronger than ever with this album. Guitar synths are used to great effect, and the solos are beyond fantastic on this album. Grand choruses and epic production make this a true experience. My absolute favorite. |
| Iron Maiden Rock in Rio (DVD) |
| Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny |
| Judas Priest Sin After Sin |
| Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith |
| Judas Priest Painkiller |
| Judas Priest Firepower |
From What I've heard, this album will be one of their greatest releases.
*Update* I was absolutely correct. |
| Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith 30th Anniversary Edition |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Nonagon Infinity |
| Kow Otani GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV |
| Limp Bizkit Still Sucks |
| This is the first time in Sputnik history where rating an album before it's released is 100% justified. |

| Manowar Hail to England |
| Megadeth Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? |
| Mercyful Fate Don't Break the Oath |
| Metal Church The Dark |
| Metallica Ride the Lightning |
| Misfits Famous Monsters |
| Yeah, this is my favorite Misfit record. You gonna fuckin' do something about it? |
| Motorhead Ace of Spades |
| Motorhead 1916 |
| Norden Light Shadows From the Wilderness |
| One of the biggest hidden gems of the 80's. An AOR masterpiece. |
| Overkill The Years of Decay |
| Overkill Ironbound |
| Ozzy Osbourne The Ultimate Sin |
| I don't give a shit what the people say; THIS is Ozzy's best record. |
| Pat Boone In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy |
| GTFO this is an undeniable classic. Easily one of the best albums of the 90s |
| Pitbull Planet Pit |
Iconic. The music that defined a generation; and peak human creativity.
Picture THAT with a Kodak motherfuckers. |
| Queen Innuendo |
| Queensryche Operation: Mindcrime |
| Rainbow Rising |
| Best metal album ever recorded? Possibly. I don't have any rebuttals to that claim, so I guess it can wear that title comfortably. |
| Ramones Leave Home |
| Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine |
| I'm telling you folks: DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ONE. |
| Running Wild Black Hand Inn |
| Samhain November-Coming-Fire |
| Savatage Streets: A Rock Opera |
| Savatage Hall of the Mountain King |
| Saxon Unleash the Beast |
| Scanner Hypertrace |
| Fucking awesome album. I have a soft spot for science fiction themed metal albums, and this is one of the very best. |
| Scorpions Blackout |
| Seikima-II Mephistopheles no Shouzou |
| Everything that makes Seikima-II great, condensed and amplified in a 50 minute package. Essential Japanese metal listening. |
| Skull Fist Chasing the Dream |
| Sodom Agent Orange |
| Sonata Arctica Ecliptica |
| Wow, this is so fucking good. The only album by these guys I had heard up to this point is "Talvyio", so I expected this to suck ass too. Thankfully, it doesn't, not even fuckin close. |
| Strangeways Walk in the Fire |
| Some of the best AOR I've ever heard. You gotta check this out. |
| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coming Out Of Their Shells |
| I unironically love the song Pizza Power |
| TerribleTim TerribleTim Spreads Love |
| Testament The Ritual |
| I don't give a flying fuck if a band changes their sound, as long as it sounds good; and this record right here fucking rules. The Ritual doesn't sound like a thrash band softening their sound, it sounds like a band playing the music they were always meant to. |
| The Beatles Abbey Road |
| The Cars The Cars |
| The best mom rock album ever recorded. Shit slaps hard |
| The Dickies Dawn of the Dickies |
| Revisited this for the first time since junior year, I love it even more now. |
| The Pharcyde Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde |
| The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers |
| The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St. |
| Rock and roll has never been done better. |
| Thin Lizzy Thunder and Lightning |
| Tilt (JPN) The Beast In Your Bed |
The greatest album you didn't know existed. Any fans of classic hard rock/metal
absolutely NEED to check this one out. |
| Toxik Think This |
| Twilight Force Dawn of the Dragonstar |
The energy, power, and cohesion brought forth on this album is something 2019 has been sorely
lacking. Everyone on the record is putting in 110%, and the orchestral arrangements flow perfectly
on every track. Every song is delightfully catchy and cheesy, and the title track may be my song
of the year. |
| U.D.O. Animal House |
| Accept really shit the bed by not recording and releasing this record themselves. Easily some of the best songs the band have ever written. Udo definitely faired the best after they parted ways. |
| Van Halen Van Halen |
| Venom Welcome to Hell |
| Fast, loose, ugly, evil, and a shitload of fun. These guys truly were pioneers of extreme metal, and never get the respect they rightfully deserve. Crank this shit in a cold, dark basement, and have yourself a fuckin blast. |
| Virgin Steele Invictus |
| Easily one of the top 5 power metal albums of all time. Absolutely incredible final installment to an already amazing trilogy of albums. |
| W.A.S.P. The Headless Children |
| One of the greatest metal albums of the late 80's. Deal with it. |
| Whitesnake Whitesnake |
| One of the best glam metal albums ever recorded. It's such a satisfying listen. |
| X Japan Art of Life |
| Probably the most impressive piece of metal music ever recorded. Absolutely genius. |
| Yngwie Malmsteen Eclipse |
| 4.5 superb |
| AC/DC T.N.T. |
| AC/DC Let There Be Rock |
| AC/DC Powerage |
| AC/DC Let There Be Rock (Australia) |
| Accept Blind Rage |
| Accept Russian Roulette |

| The fuck is wrong with you guys? This album is so fucking good. |
| Alice Cooper Killer |
| Alice Cooper DaDa |
| Alice Cooper Hey Stoopid |
| Alice in Chains Dirt |
| Alice in Chains Jar of Flies |
| Alice in Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here |
| This record doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This is neck and neck with Dirt for me. |
| Ambush (SWE) Infidel |
These Swedes know exactly what they are doing. On Infidel, Ambush turns up the aggression
and takes no prisoners. Let's hope we don't have to wait another 5 years for the next
record. |
| Amon Amarth With Oden on Our Side |
| now this is what I'm fuckin talkin about |
| Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God |
| Angel Witch Angel Witch |
| Angra Temple of Shadows |
| Annihilator Alice in Hell |
| Quite possibly the best produced thrash album ever recorded. The songs are fucking amazing too. |
| Annihilator King of the Kill |
| Anthem Nucleus |
Just as fantastic as I expected. Anthem keeps this collection of re-recordings
familiar, yet still manages to make it fresh and exciting. I'm glad they didn't rely on
their biggest hits, and decided to focus on the underrated gems of their latter day
catalog. |
| Anthem Burning Oath |
| Anthem Bound to Break |
| Anthem Black Empire |
| Anthrax Sound of White Noise |
| Anthrax For All Kings |
| Anvil Forged in Fire |
| Artillery By Inheritance |
| Atheist Unquestionable Presence |

| Axel Rudi Pell The Masquerade Ball |
| Axxis Back to the Kingdom |
| Bathory Bathory |
| Beast In Black From Hell With Love |
| Black Death Black Death |
| Black Sabbath Headless Cross |
| A highlight in Black Sabbath's already impressive discography. If Dio was on vocals this would have a 4+ average on this site and you know it. Purists seriously need to stop riding Ozzy and Dio's dicks so hard and actually give this a listen. One of the best albums Sabbath have ever released. |
| Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell |
| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath |
| Black Sabbath Paranoid |
| Blackfoot Strikes |
| God this thing is fuckin' TASTY. |
| Blackslash Sinister Lightning |
| Blazon Stone Damnation |

| Blind Guardian Imaginations from the Other Side |
| Blind Guardian Nightfall in Middle-Earth |
| Blitzkrieg A Time Of Changes |
| How am I just now discovering this band? I never even knew they existed |
| Bloodbound Rise of the Dragon Empire |
| Surprisingly good, not a dud on the record. Throw this on while playing Dark Souls and you're set. |
| Bloodbound Nosferatu |
| Bloodbound War of Dragons |
| Hot damn, this is some good shit! Dragons are cool. |
| Blue Oyster Cult Cultösaurus Erectus |
| Blue Oyster Cult Fire of Unknown Origin |
| Brainfever You |

| Carcass Surgical Steel |
| Celtic Frost Monotheist |
| Celtic Frost To Mega Therion |
| Cheap Trick In Color |
| Cheap Trick Dream Police |
| Children of Bodom Hatebreeder |
| Children of Bodom Hexed |
| I had never given this band a listen, but Nuclear Blast was really pushing them, so I gave them a shot. I can now safely say I'm a fan. |
| Children of Bodom Hate Crew Deathroll |
| Chris Stapleton Traveller |
| Cinderella Night Songs |
| Conception Parallel Minds |
| Coroner No More Color |
| Coroner Mental Vortex |
| Coverdale and Page Coverdale/Page |
| Cryptosis Bionic Swarm |
| Wow, this is really good. Why can't more modern thrash be like this? |
| Crystal Ball In the Beginning |
| Crystal Eyes Starbourne Traveler |
| One hell of a comeback record. All killer, no filler. |
| Danzig Danzig II: Lucifuge |
| Dark Moor The Gates of Oblivion |
| Death Human |
| Death Individual Thought Patterns |
| Death Angel The Evil Divide |
| Deep Purple Whoosh! |
| Wow, this kinda blew me away. Easily their best since Perpendicular |
| Deep Purple Purpendicular |
| For the second time Deep Purple show us they don't need Blackmore to make a kickass rrecord. This album has a little bit of everything, but never once feels unfocused of reclectic. Definitely up there with their best material. |
| Deep Purple Machine Head |
| While I don't think it's QUITE as good as it's reputation lead me to believe, I can't deny just how consistent and satisfying Machine Head is. |
| Deep Purple Burn |
| I will forever stand by my opinion that Burn is on par with In Rock and Machine Head. he title track is also my all-time favorite DP track. So fuckin good. |
| Deep Purple Perfect Strangers |
| Seriously can't believe I used to dislike this album in middle school. Such a foolish 12 year old I was. |
| Def Leppard High 'N' Dry |
| Demon The Unexpected Guest |
| Stellar follow-up to their already fantastic debut. Quintessential NWOBHM |
| Demon Night of the Demon |
| This is the album I never knew I needed. I'm gonna be jamming this all October. |
| Destruction Cracked Brain |
| Fuck you, this is my favorite Destruction album. |
| Destruction Mad Butcher |
| I absolutely dumbfounded how 4 of the best tracks this band ever recorded were never included on an actual full length release. |
| Dethklok Dethalbum II |
| I'm so glad I started watching Metalocalypse. This shit is absolutely fantastic. |
| Diamond Head The Coffin Train |
What I ended up listening to was not I expected from this album at all. The short headbangers are
great, but where this album really hits it's stride is in the thick atmospherics of the deeper
cuts like "The Sleeper" and "When We Burn". |
| Dio Holy Diver |
| Dio Magica |
| Dire Straits Brothers in Arms |
| Dokken Tooth and Nail |
| Dokken The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 |
| Why the fuck were these songs never released? This is easily some of Don's best work. No shit, this is legitimately superb. |
| DragonForce Reaching into Infinity |
| Dream Evil Dragon Slayer |
| As far as power metal goes, this may just have the best production the genre has to offer. Grandiose, epic, cheesy, uplifting, and a shit ton of fun. Love it to death. |
| Dynazty The Dark Delight |
| Eclipse (SWE) Paradigm |
| Yeah, this is pretty wicked. Not a dud in the bunch |
| Eclipse (SWE) Monumentum |
| Edge of Sanity Crimson |
| Edge of Sanity Crimson II |

| This is fucking amazing. |
| Evil Invaders Feed Me Violence |
| Exciter Violence and Force |
| Exodus Fabulous Disaster |
| Exodus Tempo of the Damned |
| Best Exodus album. |
| Faith No More Angel Dust |
| Weird as fuck, but in the best way. |
| Flotsam and Jetsam Blood in the Water |
| Why is this so fucking good? Every single track ranges from great to fantastic. Well done guys. |
| Flotsam and Jetsam Doomsday for the Deceiver |
| Freedom Call Stairway to Fairyland |

| Gama Bomb Speed Between The Lines |
| Gamma Ray Somewhere Out in Space |
| Gamma Ray Power Plant |
| Gamma Ray No World Order |
| Gary Moore Wild Frontier |
| Gloryhammer Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards |
| This album made me a born-again virgin, and I'm not even upset about it. |
| Gorillaz Demon Days |
| Grave Digger Excalibur |
| Grave Digger The Grave Digger |
| Grim Reaper Rock You To Hell |
| Haunt (USA-CA) If Icarus Could Fly |
| Havok Conformicide |
| Hot damn, you can tell they had an agenda when writing this one. Their best yet. |
| Heavens Gate Livin' In Hysteria |
| Helloween The Time of the Oath |
| Helloween Straight Out of Hell |
| Helloween Better Than Raw |
| Helloween Walls of Jericho |
| Hellripper Warlocks Grim and Withered Hags |
| Wow, this kinda fucks. AOTY material right here. |
| Highland Glory From the Cradle to the Brave |
| House of Lords Precious Metal |
| Huey Lewis and the News Fore! |
| Iced Earth Something Wicked This Way Comes |
| Good shit. |
| Iced Earth Night of the Stormrider |
| Immortal All Shall Fall |
| Impellitteri Answer To The Master |
| Impellitteri Stand in Line |
| In Flames Whoracle |
| In Flames Colony |
| In Flames Clayman |
| Iron Curtain (ESP) Savage Dawn |
| Ah hell yeah, the music definitely matches that badass artwork. THIS is how you do throwback metal right here. |
| Iron Maiden Powerslave |
| Working their way up, Maiden finally releases a worthwhile album with Bruce. One of Maiden's strongest efforts of the 80's. |
| Iron Maiden Brave New World |
| Great return of Bruce and one of the best post Blaze albums Maiden has released. Only issue is that the running times of the songs started to linger too long. This would be an issue that would plague future Maiden releases. |
| Iron Maiden Empire of the Clouds |
| Jag Panzer Ample Destruction |
| Apt title, this thing fucking slaughtered me. |
| Journey Escape |
| The quintessential feel good album. Nothing deep or thought provoking on here, but that's what makes it so enjoyable. |
| Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance |
| Judas Priest Ram It Down |
| Judas Priest Unleashed in the East |
| Judas Priest The Complete Albums Collection |
| Judas Priest Invincible Shield |
| While not quite on the level of Firepower, Invincible Shield is still an incredibly impressive showcase of pure metal magic from a band that has been kicking for over half a century. Do yourself a favor and skip those bonus tracks, though.r |
| Kairos Queen of the Hill |
| This is good, damn good. I'll have to check out their debut now. |
| Kalmah Swampsong |
| Kamelot The Black Halo |
| Kanye West Yeezus |
| Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly |
| King Diamond Conspiracy |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Infest the Rats' Nest |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard I'm In Your Mind Fuzz |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Omnium Gatherum |
| Long as hell, but totally worth it. So many great ideas and sounds present here, and all of them work surprisingly well. The fact that KGLW can pull off two fun rap numbers just goes to show that there isn't a single genre they tackle convincingly. |
| Kingdom Come In Your Face |
| KISS Hotter Than Hell |
| KISS Rock and Roll Over |
| KISS Creatures of the Night |
| Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo Live and Let Die |
| Kreator Coma of Souls |
| Fuck Extreme Aggression, THIS is Kreator's magnum opus. |
| Krokus Headhunter |
| Kvelertak Kvelertak |
| Lard The Last Temptation of Reid |
| Leatherwolf Street Ready |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II |
| Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy |
| Lost Horizon A Flame to the Ground Beneath |
| Loudness Shadows of War |
| Loudness Soldier of Fortune |
| Loudness The Law of Devil's Land |
| Magnum On a Storyteller's Night |
| Aw hell yeah; this thing rocks! That guitar tone is simply magical. |
| Magnum The Serpent Rings |
| Real shit? This is one of their best albums. Modern Magnum is a force to be reckoned with. |
| Magnum On The 13th Day |
| Manilla Road Open the Gates |
| This album kicks Crystal Logic's ass, and you know it. |
| Manilla Road The Courts of Chaos |
| Although albums like Mystification and The Deluge are great, this album right here was the moment where Manilla Road took their sound to the next level. Not quite as heavy as their earlier material, but far more satisfying in my humble opinion. |
| Manowar Kings of Metal |
| Masterplan Masterplan |
| Mastodon Once More 'Round the Sun |
| Mayhem Daemon |
Hold up, this thing slaps way harder than I was expecting. I might have to start getting into
black metal now. |
| Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell |
| Meat Loaf Bad Attitude |
This album slays from front to back. It may not be as ambitious as the "Bat Out Of Hell"
saga, but the songs are direct, infectious and ridiculously fun. Probably my favorite record
from Mr. Loaf. |
| Mega Colossus Riptime |
| Megadeth So Far, So Good... So What! |
| Megadeth Rust in Peace |
| Megadeth Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! |
| Mekong Delta Lurking Fear |
| The peak of thrash comebacks right here. Probably the greatest thing they've ever released. |
| Mercyful Fate Melissa |
| Metal Church The Human Factor |
| Metal Church Metal Church |
| Metal Church XI |
| Metallica Master of Puppets |
| Metallica Metallica |
| The fattest snare sound of all time. God bless it |
| Michael Jackson Dangerous |
| Michael Jackson Bad |
| Michael Jackson Thriller |
| Misfits Walk Among Us |
| Misfits Static Age |
| Moonlight Sorcery Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle |
| God this album is fucking awesome. Probably gonna be my pick for album of the year; borderline perfect. |
| Moonlight Sorcery Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity |
This band is fucking amazing. I don't even listen to EP's but their debut was so kickass I
had to. |
| Morbid Angel Altars of Madness |
| Morbid Saint Spectrum of Death |
| Motley Crue Shout at the Devil |
| Motorhead Another Perfect Day |
| Motorhead Overkill |
| Motorhead Rock 'N' Roll |
| Motorhead Kiss of Death |
| For my money, this is the best Motorhead record of the 21st century. Inferno isn't far behind it though. |
| Mr. Bungle Mr. Bungle |
| "My Ass Is on Fire" sent me into a deep fit of psychosis. I'm still not sure if that is a positive or not. |
| Night Ranger Dawn Patrol |
| Nightwish Once |
| Ninja Sex Party NSFW |
| Nuclear Assault Handle with Care |
| Orden Ogan Easton Hope |
| Orden Ogan To The End |
| Overkill The Grinding Wheel |
| Re-listened to this today, and it's somehow even better than I remembered it being when I bought it back in 2017. 2010's Overkill could do no wrong, I swear. |
| Overkill The Electric Age |
| Ozzy Osbourne No More Tears |
| Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman |
| Petra On Fire! |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here |
| Finally, a Pink Floyd album I understand the hype behind. |
| Pink Floyd The Wall |
| They did it. They actually did it. Pink Floyd made an album I actually love. Took a long time to get here, but I finally found a Pink Floyd album I'd personally consider to be exceptional. |
| Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse of Reason |
| I am not a Pink Floyd fan by any means, but this is easily my favorite Pink Floyd record. Doesn't sound much like traditional PF, which is probably the reason I like it so much. |
| Powermad Absolute Power |
| Why do so many prog-thrash artists only release 1 or 2 albums? |
| Powerwolf The Sacrament of Sin |
| Praying Mantis Predator In Disguise |
| Good stuff! I come back to this one a lot. It hits that sweet spot of cheesy melodic goodness that I can't get enough of. Tracks like 'Can't See the Angels' and 'Borderline' are immortal jams. |
| Primal Fear Seven Seals |
| Primus Pork Soda |
| Q5 Steel the Light |
| Queen The Miracle |
| Queen Sheer Heart Attack |
| Queen News of the World |
| Queensryche The Warning |
| Rage Perfect Man |

| Rigor Mortis Rigor Mortis |
| Riot Thundersteel |
| Riot The Privilege of Power |
| Riot City Electric Elite |
| This album fucks. |
| Riot V Armor of Light |
| Riot V Unleash The Fire |
| Rocka Rollas The Road to Destruction |
| Running Wild Port Royal |
| Running Wild Death or Glory |
| Running Wild Victory |
| Disgustingly low user score for a fantastic album. Not only does Victory have some of the biggest hooks in Running Wild's discog, it is also home to a plethora of catchy riffs and absolutely crushing production job. In need of some serious re-evaluation. |
| Running Wild Blood on Blood |
| If you would have told me Running Wild would release one of the best albums of their career in 2021, I would have laughed in your face and called you a complete retard. But here we are in 2021, with Running Wild releasing a late-career opus that rivals their strongest material from the 80's and 90's. |
| Rush Clockwork Angels |
| Rush 2112 |
| Rush Power Windows |
| Best Rush album. |
| Sabaton Carolus Rex |
| Sabaton Heroes |
| Sabaton The Great War |
| Contender for my album of the year. Sabaton end the 2010's with the biggest bang possible. |
| Sabire Gates Ajar |
| The best modern trad-metal I've heard in years. Do yourself a favor and check this out; these guys are the real deal. |
| Sacred Warrior Master's Command |
| I bet Jesus loves this album, because I know I do. |
| Savatage Gutter Ballet |
| Savatage Poets and Madmen |
| Saxon Thunderbolt |
| 4 years later and Thunderbolt still holds up as one of Saxon's most consistent and varied records. Absolutely killer in every regard. |
| Saxon Dogs of War |
| Nope, I don't get the hate for this one. This is pretty much an all killer, no filler record for me. |
| Saxon Power and the Glory |
| Killer shit right here. The Eagle Has Landed is a fuckin' tour de force. |
| Scanner Terminal Earth |
| Scorpions Crazy World |
| Scorpions Love At First Sting |

| Sepultura Beneath the Remains |
| Skelator Cyber Metal |
| Skid Row Slave to the Grind |
| Slade The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome |
| Slade Till Deaf Do Us Part |
| Slayer Seasons in the Abyss |
| And then they broke up, never to release another album again. |
| Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind |
| After 25 years, Slipknot finally gets it. By far the best thing they've ever released. |
| Smoulder Violent Creed of Vengeance |
| Excellent release. Has that vintage metal sound , but manages to still sound fresh and exciting. |
| Sodom M-16 |
| Best Sodom album? Probably. |
| Sonata Arctica Winterheart's Guild |
| Soundtrack (Film) Napoleon Dynamite |
| Stallion Slaves of Time |
| Much better than their last record. This thing slaps hard |
| Stormwarrior Heading Northe |
| Stratovarius Destiny |
| Stratovarius Nemesis |
| Stratovarius Episode |
| Stratovarius Survive |
| Survive? More like thrive. One of Stratovarius's greatest albums to date. |
| Striker Armed To The Teeth |
| Striker City of Gold |
| Stryper To Hell With the Devil |
| Suicidal Tendencies Lights...Camera...Revolution |
| Survivor Vital Signs |
| Sword Metalized |
| FUCKING CLASSIC |
| Tankard Alien |
| Tankard Zombie Attack |
| Tankard R.I.B. |
| This is one hell of a comeback. Not often that a band this old puts out arguably their best album this late in their career. |
| Tesla Mechanical Resonance |
| Testament The New Order |
| Testament Brotherhood of the Snake |
| Borderline perfect modern thrash record. BOTS takes the accessibility and catchiness from "The Ritual" and blends it with the relentless aggression of "The Gathering" to create a modern thrash classic. Every aspect of what makes Testament great is on full display here, and it's absolutely glorious. |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band |
| Okay, fine. I may hate Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but everything else on here is really good... |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Everblack |
| The Offspring Smash |
| The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet |
| The Rolling Stones Let It Bleed |
| The Rolling Stones Some Girls |

| Triumph Never Surrender |
| Trivium In the Court of the Dragon |
| First Trivium album I've enjoyed since Shogun. Matt thankfully keeps his earth-shatteringly rgeneric clean vocals to a minimum, which really helps. I thought I was done with them after rWTDMS, but this pleasantly surprised me. The 2nd half is superb. |

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

| Not reinventing the wheel by any means, but it didn't need to. By playing it safe Bloodbound ensured that almost every song on here is a banger. |

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

| Defiance (USA-CA) Beyond Recognition |

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

| Hardline Double Eclipse |
| Harem Scarem Mood Swings |
| Haunt (USA-CA) Golden Arm |

| Heavy Load Death or Glory |
| A glorious little hidden gem from the early 80s. The band isn't super tight performance wise, but the spirit and love for the genre are on full display, and it's extremely charming. Imagine a more downtempo Manilla Road with better vocals. |

| Iron Maiden Dance of Death |
| The last time Maiden sounded like they were actually having fun. Take off the last 3 tracks, and you've got one hell of a Maiden album. Doesn't top Brave New World, but it does stand as one of their best post-Blaze era releases. |
| Iron Maiden Iron Maiden |
| Great debut from metal legends. Only fault is the two slower songs that detract from the album's feel. |
| Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son |
| Man I used to think this album was the shit back in the day. I still think it's a solid Maiden release, but any time those self indulgent prog ballads kick in I kinda wanna ralph. The more times I revisit it, the less I like it. |
| Iron Maiden Fear of the Dark |
| Easily Maiden's most varied and interesting record to date. Not everything on here lands, but when it does, it's fantastic. Had the band cut a couple filler tracks, this may have landed a spot in my top 5 Maiden albums. |
| Iron Maiden The X Factor |
| Fiercely underrated album. Only hated because it's not Bruce, but that's why the album succeeds in being such a great listen. "Sign of the Cross" is the best Iron Maiden song ever. |
| Iron Maiden The Book of Souls |
The last two albums were weak as hell. Let's hope they found out how to pace songs or else we'll
be subjected to an 18 minute song with two riffs.
Update: This album really exceeded my expectations. Maiden has finally figured out how to pad out
songs running times, making every second of each song feel necessary. Every song fits together
like a puzzle. I think a large fact of the albums greatness is the fact that Harris was absent
through most of the songwriting process, allowing the rest of the bands writing abilities to
really shine. While not perfect, it's immensely satisfying to hear Maiden with this much energy
again. Overall a damn good album, and their best since 'The X Factor'. |

| I was not expecting this to be any good at all, yet here I am giving this a 4. Even though its 20 minutes too long, this is probably their strongest record since Frontiers in 85. |

| Krokus Hellraiser |
| Kryptos Force of Danger |
| Force of Danger may be a little more streamlined than it's predecessor, but the overall experience is a tad better in my opinion. The title track sounds like it came straight off an Ambush record, which is never a bad thing. |

| Their last album was a step in the right direction, and this record completed their transition back into solid music. On another note, Buzz kinda sounds like Brett Hinds on this album. |

Yet again, my opinion on this album was grown quite a bit since the last time I listened to
it. It's undeniably their weakest record from the 2010's, but it's still leaps and bounds
above what most other thrash acts are releasing nowadays. Good luck finding a band this old
releasing music with this much intensity.
*Bumping this up from a 3.5 to a 4. |
| Overkill Feel the Fire |
| Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard of Ozz |

I was really expecting to hate "fUcK cApItAlIsM" the album, but aside from the boring
drudgery of 'Dogs', I actually really enjoyed this one. This is a classic case of
disagreeing with a band's message, but enjoying the record regardless. |
| Poltergeist (CHE) Depression |
| One of those albums I listened to because I liked the cover art. Great artwork, and great record. |
| Poppy I Disagree (more) |
| These new tracks are some of Poppy's strongest material. I'd say keeping them off the initial release hurt it quite a bit. If you're gonna listen to any version this record, make it this one. |

| Really enjoyable Fate worship. |

| Okay, so I listened to this two years later, and for some reason it fucking slapped this time. Bumped from a 3 to a 4. |

| Powerwolf Interludium |
| For an album of leftovers, the material here is surprisingly awesome. Genuinely one of their strongest releases to date. |
| Praying Mantis Forever in Time |
| Praying Mantis Defiance |
| Color me impressed; I was not expecting this to be so good. The track "Standing Tall" is a strange, yet awesome little bit of sonic experimentation for a band that been around since the dawn of the NWOBHM. |
| Praying Mantis Gravity |
| Probably the band's most creative and varied release to date. Covers a lot of sonic ground, but still manages to be a cohesive package. |

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

| Tenacious D Tenacious D |

| I love modern thrash that's actually good. |

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

| Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are |
| The weakest Gillian record of the 70's but still lightyears ahead of the first 3 albums. This really isn't half bad. |
| Deep Purple inFinite |
Another enjoyable offering in post-Blackmore era. Some interesting ideas and concepts
present, but not too many memorable moments in the first 5 tracks. Thankfully, the second
half really picks up the slack and gives us some good shit. |
| Def Leppard Adrenalize |
| Demon Hold on to the Dream |
| Demon Better the Devil You Know |
| Demoniac Stormblade |
| Demons and Wizards III |
| Denzel Curry Zuu |
| Destruction Diabolical |
Definitely a step in the right direction. They actually managed stick in a couple killer
tracks and few memorable riffs this time around. Standard, but solid modern thrash. |
| Destruction Eternal Devastation |
| Destruction All Hell Breaks Loose |
| Destruction The Antichrist |
| Destruction Inventor of Evil |
| Destruction Day of Reckoning |
| Detente Recognize No Authority |
| Dethklok Dethalbum III |
| A big step down from their previous album, but does get better on repeated listens. |
| Dethklok The Doomstar Requiem |
| I fucking hate musicals, but this was absolutely delightful. What a great way to end the series. |
| Diamond Head Canterbury |
| I kinda dig this, not gonna lie. However, I will attest that it probably shouldn't have been released as a Diamond Head album. |
| Diamond Head Diamond Head |
| Dio Dream Evil |
| Dio Killing the Dragon |
| Dire Straits Dire Straits |
| Dokken Breaking the Chains |
| Dokken Erase The Slate |
| Dokken Heaven Comes Down |
| Underwhelming first half, but side two has some sick riffs. I'm glad I gave it a listen. |
| DragonForce Extreme Power Metal |
| Fuck it, I had a lot of fun with this album. I don't think it's as good as their past 3 albums, but I certainly enjoyed my time with this one. |

| First 2 songs are meh, but the rest is really solid. |
| Freedom Call Crystal Empire |
| Freedom Call Land of the Crimson Dawn |
| Freedom Call Silver Romance |
| These guys have a certain corny vibe that always hits a sweet spot for me. They aren't worried about being cool, they just want to give you goofy and catchy power metal that makes you smile; and God bless them for it. |
| Frozen Crown Winterbane |
| Fuming Mouth The Grand Descent |
| Solid from start to finish, but loses a little bit of steam at the halfway point. |
| Galneryus Advance To The Fall |
| Galneryus Resurrection |
| Galneryus Vetelgyus |
| Gama Bomb Sea Savage |
| Not as strong as Speed Between the Lines, but still tons of fun. Modern Gama Bomb is definitely a step above the majority of their uber-serious contemporaries. I'm glad these guys exist. |

| It's Gloryhammer, so catchy hooks and rich lore are guaranteed. It's well above average modern power metal, but it's lacking a certain charm that Angus brought to their past material. |

| Green Lung Woodland Rites |
| I enjoyed it, but there was one glaring issue I had with it. I couldn't shake the feeling that these guys sounded like a satanic Greta Van Fleet. |
| Greta Van Fleet Anthem of the Peaceful Army |
| A consistent and catchy listen, albeit a tad uninspired and unoriginal. Lyrically the album touches upon all the lyrical tropes you would expect from an album of this nature. Despite the album's creative faults, it still remains a highly enjoyable listen with a very talented band to back it up. Hopefully they stray from the cut and paste Led Zeppelin format in the future. |
| Greta Van Fleet The Battle at Garden's Gate |
| Definitely a bit too long, but an solid throwback rock album. These guys aren't the musical disease that so many mouth breathers claim they are. |
| Grim Reaper At The Gates |
Was not expecting this to be so good. Steve's voice is for the most part intact, and 'The Hand
That Rocks the Cradle' is among one of the band's best songs. Kinda suffers from a top heavy track
list though. |

| Honeymoon Suite The Big Prize |
| Hot Dad Are President |

| Iced Earth The Dark Saga |
| Iced Earth Incorruptible |
| Iced Earth Iced Earth |
| Immortal Blizzard Beasts |
| Immortal Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism |
| Immortal War Against All |
| Probably my least favorite since Blizzards Beasts, but by no means a dud. Great songs throughout, just a tad forgettable. |
| Impellitteri Grin and Bear It |
| Impellitteri Eye of the Hurricane |
| In Flames Reroute to Remain |
| Infernal Majesty None Shall Defy |
| Insane Clown Posse Fearless Fred Fury |
| These guys will always be a guilty pleasure of mine. Love their cheesy horror-themed lyrics, and their bombastic 90's style production. Probably their best since Jeckel Brothers. |
| Iron Fire Beyond the Void |
Straightforward well performed Power Metal. That's all I wanted from this record, and it's exactly
what I got. |
| Iron Maiden Killers |
| Wrathchild and Killers are some of the best songs Maiden has to offer. |
| Iron Maiden Piece of Mind |
| "Where Eagles Dare" may be one of my favorite Maiden songs, but this album also contains two of Maiden's weakest songs. "Die With Your Boots On" and "Quest For Fire" are completely abysmal efforts. |
| Iron Maiden Virtual XI |
| Underrated gem in Maiden's discography. Aside from the 10 minute abomination Angel and the Gambler, the rest of the material on here is really solid. |
| Iron Savior Condition Red |

| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Quarters |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Polygondwanaland |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard K.G. |
Outside of Automation, I seriously didn't enjoy any of the singles for this album.
Thankfully, the rest of the stuff on here is pretty solid, if not a tad predictable.
Intrapsort was probably the biggest surprise on here, definitely the album's biggest
highlight. |
| Kingdom Come Kingdom Come |
| KISS Dressed to Kill |
| KISS Destroyer |
| KISS Dynasty |
| This isn't shit and that makes me happy. |
| KISS Lick It Up |
| KISS Asylum |
| I have begrudgingly become a retard that likes KISS. Never wanted it to come to this... But here we are. |
| KISS Psycho Circus |
| KISS Sonic Boom |
| Kix Hot Wire |
| Korn The Nothing |
| This thing kinda slaps, and I don't even like Korn |
| Kreator Pleasure to Kill |
| Kreator Hate Über Alles |
| Not their strongest release, but nowhere near a dud. Other than Overkill and these guys, you'd be hard pressed to find a classic thrash act putting out music of this quality. |
| Kreator Hordes of Chaos |
| Krokus Metal Rendez-vous |
| Krokus One Vice at a Time |
| Krokus Stampede |
| Krokus To Rock or Not to Be |
| I really don't understand the hate boner Sputnik has for this band. It's not groundbreaking, but it is still enjoyable hard rock. |

| A pretty good rock album from thrash legends. Not as good as Load, but still thoroughly enjoyable. |
| Megadeth Th1rt3en |
| Megadeth The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead! |
| Wasn't feeling the first few tracks, but the second half really won me over. |
| Mekong Delta Dances of Death (and other Walking Shadows) |
| Mekong Delta The Music of Erich Zann |
| Mekong Delta In a Mirror Darkly |
| Melvins Working with God |
| Did Melvins actually just release another decent album? |
| Mentalist Empires Falling |
| Enjoyably cheesy. It's charming lack of self-conceit really won me over in the end. Just a group of boys making dumb, fun trad/power metal. |

| Hey, this was pretty fun! Street Fighter is a hard jam. |

| I'm with Panzer on this one; what the fuck is wrong with the art? It's basically just a reinterpretation of the artwork featured on the singles released for Seventh Son by Iron Maiden. |
| Muse Will of the People |
| Lame, but in a really fun way. I definitely enjoyed it. |
| Narnia Ghost Town |
| Necrophobic The Nocturnal Silence |
| Nekrogoblikon The Fundamental Slimes and Humours |
| Nemedian Chronicles The Savage Sword |
| Nevermore The Politics of Ecstasy |
| Nickelback Feed the Machine |
| Nickelback was never as awful and most people claimed. This album is actually pretty decent |
| Night Ranger Somewhere In California |
| Nightwish Dark Passion Play |
| Ninja Sex Party The Prophecy |
| I'm not a big fan of the newer overproduced sound they've acquired over the past few years; or those fucking covers albums they wont stop releasing. With that being said, I'm pleasantly surprised with this one. If there's one thing these guys haven't made me do in a while, it's laugh, but The Prophecy did make me chuckle a few times. I even enjoyed the normally unfunny skits they stick in between tracks on this one. |

| Primus Tales from the Punchbowl |
| Psychotic Waltz The God-Shaped Void |
| Pretty solid from start to finish. However, it really isn't all too memorable, and I doubt I'll ever get the urge to listen to it again. |
| Queen A Night at the Opera |
| Dude, I get Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic, but most of this album is passable pussy rock fluff. That hardened edge of the first 3 records is gone, and it is sorely lacking. I mean, this is still a solid album, but it is FAR from their best. |
| Queen A Day at the Races |
| Queen The Game |
| Queen The Works |
| Queen A Kind of Magic |
| Queensryche The Verdict |
Strong release from the group, especially after a two decade long drought of good music from them.
Getting rid of Tate was the best decision they ever made. |

| Rage Reflections Of A Shadow |
| Rage Trapped! |
| Rage The Missing Link |
| Rage End of All Days |
| Rage Carved in Stone |
| Rage Strings to a Web |
| Rage Αfterlifelines |
| The material here is definitely a big step up from their past few releases, but that 86 minute run-time is PUSHING it. Thankfully, most of the songs are short, punchy, and to the point; there just needed to be fewer of them. |
| Rainbow Difficult to Cure |
| Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow |
| Rainbow Straight Between the Eyes |
| Rainbow Bent Out of Shape |
| Rainbow Stranger in Us All |
| Even with rock's most generic frontman Doogie White at the mic, Blackmore still managed to cobble together a solid sendoff to his legendary side project. |
| Rammstein Sehnsucht |
| Rammstein Liebe Ist Für Alle Da |
| Rammstein Zeit |
| I love the fact that this band has the capability to release beautifully constructed, emotional tracks like Zeit, then turn around and stick a song with an immature title like "Fat Tits" on the same album. Absolutely glorious. |

| Honestly, this was an improvement for me. This one feels just a tad more inspired than the previous release. |

| Saxon Wheels of Steel |

| Good album, but it's definitely a bit overrated; there are better 21st century Saxon records readily available. |

| Hey, this is actually an improvement! Concrete Jungle kinda slaps. |
| Sinner No More Alibis |
| Sinner The End of Sanctuary |
| Sinner One Bullet Left |
| Sinner Brotherhood |
| I don't know why I'm rating this so high. It's one of the most generic things I've heard all year, but it's an enjoyably inviting type of generic. It's like that one story your grandpa told you 100 times but it doesn't bother you because it's a good story.r |
| SkeleToon 1.21 Gigawatts Club |
| Dumb fun, but fun regardless. Way fucking better than The Goonies album they did a few years back. |
| Skid Row The Gang's All Here |
| What the fuck, I actually liked this? Guess miracles do happen. |
| Skull Fist Way of the Road |
| Much better after I revisited it. It still doesn't stack up to the first two records, and I miss the reverb, but the guitar work is killer and it is the perfect length. Give it another shot if the first listen didn't do it for you. |
| Skull Fist Paid in Full |
| Slade You Boyz Make Big Noize |
| Slade Old New Borrowed and Blue |
| Slade Slade in Flame |
| Slade Return to Base... |
| Slaughter (USA) Stick It to Ya |
| Slayer Hell Awaits |
| Slipknot The End, So Far |
| Nowhere near as good as the last album, but still a fulfilling experience. Glad they are keeping it interesting by expanding their sound in new directions. Tracks like Adderall sound like nothing they've released thus far. |
| Sodom Tapping the Vein |
| Sodom Epitome of Torture |
| Probably Sodom's most melodic offering. I understand why people dislike this one, but I think it's pretty decent. |
| Sodom Decision Day |
| Definitely lacks the band's usual energy, but I really like it regardless. |
| Sodom Genesis XIX |
| Sonata Arctica Unia |

| After the last 3 albums, I was worried these guys were destined to make painfully forgettable yet competent thrash records for the rest of their career. Thankfully, this record seems like they actually started giving a shit again. |
| Tankard Pavlov's Dawgs |
| Temperance (IT) Diamanti |
| Never listened to these guys before; not too shabby. |
| Tesla Into The Now |
| Testament Practice What You Preach |
| Testament Low |
| The general consensus is that The Ritual was the band selling out, and Low is a return to form, but I feel it's the other way around. If anything this album deliberately sounds like Pantera worship, while The Ritual has it's own unique brand of heavy metal. With that being said, Low is still immensely better than anything Pantera released post-CFH. |

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

| Uriah Heep Salisbury |
Everything after the first 2 tracks is great, but I definitely wouldn't consider this a
masterpiece by any stretch of the word.
Bird of Prey may also have the worst vocal melody I've ever heard in my entire fucking
life. |
| Uriah Heep Innocent Victim |
| Uriah Heep Conquest |

Huge step in the right direction. The fact this album has the same records as the two

| Alcatrazz V |
I'll be honest, I'm probably not gonna listen to this. Graham Bonnet is an amazing vocalist,
and the main reason I listened to Alcatrazz in the first place. The fact he was replaced by
the undisputed king of generic metal vocals, Doogie White is a fuckin' sin.
*update*
I hate saying this, but this is actually kinda decent. Sounds more like classic Rainbow than
Alcatrazz though. |

| Hey, this isn't half bad. Lake of Fire and Death from above are some hard jams. |
| Battle Beast No More Hollywood Endings |

| By the books doom metal, lacking variation and flavor. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. |

Wow, what a letdown. I can't be the only one who finds this album to be really boring,
right? Most of the material on here is plodding, down-paced chug fests. Competent, but
extremely uninteresting. |
| Cinderella Heartbreak Station |

| This doesn't hold a candle to Purpendicular. Big lack of memorable melodies, riffs or hooks. With that being said, it's still more than serviceable and has some great hidden gems. |

| Dinosaur Jr. Sweep It Into Space |
I only listened to this because Hedorah was on the album cover. The guitarwork on display
here is consistently tasty. It's just a shame they recorded the drums via answering
machine and J Mascis is perpetually on the verge of sleep whilst in the vocal booth. |

| This album has one of the most botched production jobs I have ever heard. The guitars are thin and weak, and I'm pretty sure the band's bassist never showed up to the studio once during the entire recording process. It's a damn shame because this honestly could have been one of their best albums. |

| Gary Moore Back On The Streets |
| Ghost (SWE) Popestar |
| Gorguts Considered Dead |
| Gorillaz Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez |
| A slightly better version of Humanz. Not sure why this one gets so much love, pretty devoid of anything memorable. |
| Gorillaz Cracker Island |
| A clear focus and sonic direction puts this above Song Machine by a considerable amount, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. As usual, the album has too many features, most of which are not crucial and add almost nothing to the tracks themselves. Skinny Ape is a fun track though. |
| Grand Magus Wolf God |
| Grave Digger Ballads of a Hangman |

| Grave Digger Fields Of Blood |
| Great Master Montecristo |
| Green Jelly Cereal Killer Soundtrack |
| Hallas Isle of Wisdom |
| I like their sound, but this got a little too proggy for me. I'd probably give it a stronger rating if the songwriting was a little less self-indulgent. |
| Hammer King Kingdemonium |
| Not bad, but suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. I don't think the album leans far enough into the goofy cheese the title would have you assume. |
| Hammer King König und Kaiser |
| Wanted to give this a 3.5, but this album features one of the most blatantly obvious instances of plagiarism I've ever heard. The song 'War Hammer' is a note for note copy of 'Midnight Sun' by Helloween. |
| HammerFall Dominion |
| I should probably give 'Dominion' a lower rating, but I had a fun time listening to it. |

| Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast |
| Not anywhere near Maiden's best work. Filler absorbs most of the albums running time, but the 3 big tracks keep it from being a bad album. |

| Side one is excellent and contains some late-career gems, but dear God that second half is boring. Sticking five 7+ minute tracks back to back should be punishable by law. |

| Yeah, this isn't doing much for me. I can definitely say I'm not the target demographic the frilly, fluffy material this album contains. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but it pales in comparison to their last 3 records. I'd love it if they'd get heavier again. |
| King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava |

| Masterplan Time to Be King |

| Morbid Angel Blessed Are the Sick |
| Ehhhh, as a non-fan of death metal this is just alright for me. Altars of Madness was a moody, atmospheric masterpiece; while this is just feels like your typical 90's DM album. Not to say it's bad, it just isn't for me. |

| While I don't think it's anything amazing, it does warm my heart to see veteran artists like Ozzy get their creative inspiration back so late in their careers. |
| Paladine Entering the Abyss |
| Pantera Projects in the Jungle |
| A perfectly acceptable 80's metal record with the misfortune of having the Pantera name slapped on the cover. |
| Pantera I Am the Night |
| Come On Eyes is a fuckin' bop. |

| I don't mind this one too much. It's certainly their heaviest release, which fits the edgelord persona they attempted to create for themselves over the past couple records. |

Much better than the debut. They managed to cram all the obnoxious ambient fiddle-fucking
to one song this time, and even that song is listenable. Not planning on listening to
this again, but I didn't feel like the band was actively wasting my time like on 'Piper'. |
| Pink Floyd More |
| I don't know what's wrong with me, but this is easily my favorite PF album so far. Probably because The Nile Song is the first Floyd tune I'd willingly listen to again. |
| Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother |
| The title track is fantastic, everything after it is it's own special brand of forgettable. |
| Pink Floyd Obscured by Clouds |
| Not as good as Meddle, but heaps better than the pretentious dogshit of the first 3 records. |
| Pirate Hymn Explorer |
| Polaris The Death of Me |
| I have a strong distaste for metalcore and it's "woe is me" attitude, but this was alright. I didn't cringe once while listening to it, so I'd say that's an accomplishment. |

| An overproduced, over-polished power metal album severely lacking in the power department.

It has one hell of a closing track though.r*update*rMuch better than I remember it being, but it still isn't anything spectacular. |

| Into the Labyrinth is the first and only Saxon album from the 2000's that I would consider just okay. I rarely ever hark on a record for being "over-produced", but this album is definitely missing the bite of their previous 5 releases.. |
| Saxon Carpe Diem |
| Definitely a disappointment for me. I LOVED Thunderbolt, but the material on here just isn't all that memorable. Very mild recommendation. |
| Scanner The Cosmic Race |
| There are some really good songs on here, but I'm actually shocked by how slopping the drumming is. This is like post-2010 Niko McBrain levels of sloppy. If that issue had been fixed, this would be be something special. |

| Underrated for sure. The boys sound tight as ever, and Derek Green's vocals are a big step up from Cavalera's. Nothing mind-blowing to be found here, but still one of the few groove metal albums I don't immediately want to shut off. |

| I can tell these guys have potential, but I don't think they knocked it out of the park with their debut. My major gripe is that this album doesn't feature a single catchy hook or memorable melody. It's good, but it could have been much better. |

| This album falls to an issue a lot of bands were dealing with in the mid to late 90s. CD's made it possible to fit more content onto a disc, so bands just started cramming way too much fucking music into their LPs. Some good stuff on here, but God its way too fucking long. |

| Wouldn't have listened to this on my own volition, but I had to for film class.

| I rarely ever chastise a band for softening their sound as long as the music they write is good. The music here isn't BAD, it's just insanely forgettable. |
| Blind Guardian Legacy of the Dark Lands |
| I kept waiting for something to blow me away, but it never happened. There isn't anything bad on here, but there isn't anything noteworthy either. It really does feel like a collection of tracks meant to be squeezed in between normal Blind Guardian songs. |

| Gary Moore G-Force |
| Gene Simmons Gene Simmons |
| Ghost (SWE) Impera |
| Side one is impeccable, and has easily some of the bands strongest tracks to date. Side 2 however, is pretty much irredeemable and features undoubtably the worst handful of songs the band has ever recorded. "Darkness At the Heart of My Love" makes my fucking skin crawl. |

| Motley Crue Motley Crue |

listenable record in it's own right. |
| Pantera Vulgar Display of Power |
| The album where Pantera dived headfirst into try-hard edgelord territory. Thankfully there is JUST enough decent riffing for me to give it a pass. The riff on Walk is fucking terrible though. |

| Slade Play It Loud |
| Slayer God Hates Us All |
| Better than the 3 records that preceded it; but fuck me those lyrics are next-level try-hard shit. |
| Slayer Divine Intervention |
| Stunning quality drop you got here, Slayer. Good on you. |
| Slayer Repentless |
| Sodom 'Til Death Do Us Unite |
| Definitely their worst up to this point. The last two records may have been different, but at least those records sounded like they were trying. This just sound like a band that's bored with themselves. |
| Sodom The Final Sign of Evil |
| A commendable effort to revisit their sonic roots, but not one I'm ever gonna listen to again. |
| Sonata Arctica The Ninth Hour |
| Star Eternal Atlas |
| Probably the most okay thing I've heard all year. The Earth is no better or worse because this exists. |
| Stormwarrior Heavy Metal Fire |
| Stratovarius Elysium |
| Styx Styx |

| I don't understand the love for this band, and I probably never will. |

| Fantastic album artwork, mediocre music. |
| Tyler, the Creator IGOR |
| I listened to this when it came out, and was so indifferent to it that I forgot to rate it. |
| Tyr How Far to Asgaard |
| had to grab a pillow and blanket for this snooze-fest. |
| Tyr Ragnarok |
| U.D.O. Mission No. X |
| U.D.O. Mastercutor |

| Virgin Steele Virgin Steele |
| The early years of power metal were pretty rough. Imagine early Manowar minus the creativity or purpose. |
| Vision Denied Age Of The Machine |
| Visions Of Atlantis Pirates |
| The orchestral arrangements are great, but the songs just aren't memorable in any way shape or form. |
| Voivod RRRÖÖÖAAARRR |
| It's like the debut, but not good. |
| Voivod Negatron |
| Voivod Phobos |
| Walk With Titans Olympian Dystopia |
| Warkings Morgana |
| Whiteabbey Words That Form the Key |
| just a gay little album |
| Whitesnake Snakebite |
| Slightly below average blues rock. Skip it. |
| Winterage Nekyia |
| Bland and forgettable symphonic power metal, with a surprisingly awesome instrumental towards the tail end of the record. |
| Witherfall Curse Of Autumn |
| Yeah, this really didn't do anything for me; but that's to be expected from a prog-metal record. |
| Wonders Beyond the Mirage |
| Y&T Musically Incorrect |
| Not sure what they were thinking with this one. Sounds like a budget Cinderella. |
| Yngwie Malmsteen War to End All Wars |
| Yngwie Malmsteen Unleash The Fury |
| 2.0 poor |
| 3TEETH Metawar |
| Accept Death Row |
| Udo's reunion with Accept featured one good album, one mediocre album, and one terrible album. This is the terrible one. |
| Alice Cooper Pretties For You |
| Alice Cooper Easy Action |
| Allen/Olzon Army Of Dreamers |
| What a boring little album. |
| Amon Amarth Berserker |
Amon Amarth have never sounded so tedious. This album was a really boring listen from beginning to
end. |
| Amon Amarth The Crusher |
With a badass title like that, I wasn't expecting this to be one of the most unremarkable
melo-death albums I've ever heard. |
| Annihilator All for You |
| Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you quite possibly the safest thrash album ever recorded. It's so utterly inoffensive that it becomes annoying. |
| Anvil Legal at Last |
The one time I smoked weed nobody told me it was laced with some sort of hallucinogen, and
I had a hellish nightmare trip. Now every time I smell it I get PTSD. |
| Anvil Plugged In Permanent |
| Anvil Absolutely No Alternative |
| Are you sure there isn't an alternative? |
| Anvil Speed of Sound |
| Attacker The God Particle |
| The artwork is better than the music. |
| Avaland The Legend of the Storyteller |
| So fucking boring |
| Axxis Voodoo Vibes |
| When people say that the 90's ruined metal music, this is the type of shit they're talking about. Truly an abhorrent decade. |
| Bad Religion Age of Unreason |
| WARNING: The contents of this album contain epic Trump burns and mediocre punk songs. |
| Bathory Requiem |
| Sure, the production is SLIGHTLY better than Octagon, but the overall songs are worse. At least the dumpster-fire production on Octagon made it memorable. |
| Beyond The Black Beyond the Black |
| This kinda sucks. Such a nothing album |
| Black Sabbath Forbidden |
| Come on guys, it's not THAT bad. |
| Boston Life, Love & Hope |
| What the fuck is this? Where are the riffs? The guitar harmonies? Songs that actually rock? Literally every song is a love song and it's pissing me off. |
| Brainstorm Scary Creatures |
| British Lion The Burning |
Wow, this was letdown. Production is thin, Steve's bass is pretty much inaudible throughout, and
every song is mindbogglingly generic. I seriously can't recommend this one. |
| Carcass Reek of Putrefaction |
| I hate this, but it made me bust a gut laughing on numerous occasions. Absolutely fucking hilarious. |
| Celtic Frost Vanity/Nemesis |
| Not a good album by any means, but there are some bangers towards the end of the record. |
| Cradle of Filth Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa |
| Bro, what the fuck happened to this band? |
| Cradle of Filth Nymphetamine |
| Why is this 80 minutes long? |
| Crusade of Bards Tales of the Seven Seas |
| Does anyone actually like this style of power metal? |
| Crystallion Heads or Tails |
| One of the most unremarkable albums I've ever heard. |
| Cynic Traced in Air |
| What is this nonsense? |
| Danzig Black Laden Crown |
| Danzig has never sounded less inspired as he does right here. Fucking snoozefest. |
| Darkthrone Goatlord |
| I can see why this wasn't released. A few neat riffs here and there, but most of it sounds like sloppy jam sessions. |
| Darkthrone F.O.A.D. |
| Run of the mill throwback metal record with some cool riffs, but awful vocals and lyrics. |
| Deep Sun Dreamland - Behind the Shades |
| An album so boring you will actually visit the location mentioned in the album title. |
| Demon Heart of Our Time |
| The fuck is this shit, Demon? The Carpenters sound hardcore compared to this weaksauce. |
| Destruction Spiritual Genocide |
| First and last track are good, and that's it. About as by-the-numbers as you can get. |
| Devin Townsend Empath |
There are so many sub-par aspects of this record. There is consistently too much shit going on all
at once, and nothing ever comes together as a cohesive whole. Clocking in at a meaty 75 minutes, I
could not wait for this thing to end. |
| Diamond Head What's in Your Head? |
| Come on guys, it's not THAT bad. I was expecting an ear raping, and what I got a was mediocre, but inoffensive hard rock album. |

| Five Finger Death Punch F8 |
| Flotsam and Jetsam Unnatural Selection |
| Flotsam and Jetsam Dreams of Death |
| Forged in Black Descent of the Serpent |
| Pretty generic thrash, with a decent vocalist. Skip it. |
| Front Row Warriors Wheel of Fortune |
| The most nothing album I've heard all year |
| Ghost (SWE) Phantomime |
| Unremarkable, unwarranted, and utterly useless. |
| Ghost (SWE) If You Have Ghost |
| a collection of bad covers recorded in a Spirit Halloween |
| Gorguts Obscura |
| Everything on this album sounds like a mistake. |
| Gorillaz Humanz |
| A Gorillaz album in name only. A hodgepodge of serviceable pop tracks with a ludicrous amount of features, and severe lack of personality that made Gorillaz so special. |
| Gorillaz The Fall |
| The only thing on here worth listening to is Amarillo. It's inoffensive, and didn't piss me off, so I'll give it a generous 2 and not a 1.5. |
| Grave Digger Witch Hunter |
| Green Day Father of All Motherfuckers |
| I mean it's bad don't get me wrong, but I still enjoyed it more than the steaming pile of shit Blink-182 released last year. This is a masterpiece in comparison. |
| House of Lords The Power and the Myth |
| Iced Earth The Crucible of Man |
| The first half of this album is so fucking boring. 2nd half is a little better, but not by a whole lot. |
| In Flames Siren Charms |
| Journey Next |
| Judas Priest Rocka Rolla |
| Kamelot Poetry for the Poisoned |
| Keel Keel |
| Pretty sure they got an 8th grader to write these lyrics. |
| Keldian The Bloodwater Rebellion |
| A power metal band tries making a U2 album. It's just as bad as you think it would be. |
| Kerion Cloudriders: Age of Cyborgs |
| They tried. It didn't work, but they tried |

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

| This shouldn't fucking exist. |
| Queensryche Hear in the Now Frontier |
| Boring, inoffensive, lifeless garbage. |
| Queensryche Tribe |
| Quiet Riot Hollywood Cowboys |
| A couple decent tunes, but there is a lot of cringe worthy bullshit that needs to be sifted through. |

| The pack should've stayed away. |

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

| I swear Kerry King is a 13 year old edge-lord reddit athiest. |
| Sonata Arctica Talviyo |

| It's amazing how The Offspring couldn't manage to write a memorable song over the course of 9 years. |
