Metallica - Load
76

It's a pretty specific album in Metallica's discography. The record has many very strong features, thanks to which it deservedly found its fans, but at the same time there are enough controversial decisions, and sometimes so much so that they can be called bad. For those who prefer classic thrash metal from Metallica, it may seem too pop, boring and drawn out, but for those who like blues rock or western rock, something may appeal. The main feature of Load (as well as Reload) is a ... read more

The Prodigy - Experience
82

A solid debut album, on which The Prodigy already demonstrate their signature approach to electronic music, albeit in a more restrained form compared to the band's future releases. This is not the aggressive, explosive and maximum hit band that most listeners will remember, but it is here that the recognizable style of the project begins to form: a combination of breakbeat, rave, hip-hop rhythms and experimental electronics with an unusual atmosphere and attention to detail.

Mad Season - Above
87

An undeservedly forgotten album that only reveals its value more over time. The Mad Season project was initially perceived as a kind of supergroup of musicians from the iconic grunge bands of the 90s, but this status hid a much more personal and tragic story.

That is why the atmosphere of the ... read more

Queen - Queen
81

Queen's debut album is already almost a portrait of the band's early period, albeit not fully formed. It has everything that Queen before The Game would later love: complex arrangements, theatricality, constant mood swings, and a sense of musical freedom. At the same time, the recording remains surprisingly raw, which makes it unique in the band's discography. The exterior roughness hides an aristocratic sophistication that would later become the band's signature feature. ... read more

black midi - Schlagenheim
93

One of the most chaotic and at the same time the most thoughtful rock recordings of recent years. The album offers an incredibly diverse set of ideas, genres and moods that collide with each other almost without warning, creating a feeling of utter madness. However, behind all this confusion, there is an almost jewel-like structure: every sudden change in rhythm, genre or atmosphere feels intentional. That is why the record does not tire, despite the enormous overload of ideas. Each track here ... read more
