Led Zeppelin's first album is a concentrate of hard'n'blues strongly contaminated by folk and psychedelia.
it is a comparison with the history of blues where the group does not invent anything new but rather draws as much as possible.
Despite everything it contributes massively to the evolution of rock music.

This is the last great container of classics of the band, and it is an album that impresses a decisive and at the same time surprising change towards prog music, even if this change will remain unique.
In any case, a great album full of memorable songs that are history of the band and also of heavy metal.

What distinguished Spiritbox's first album, a fairly successful mix of metalcore and pop, is absent here. It seems that instead of evolving they wanted to play it safe but so everything seems watered down.
It's not an unlistenable and/or insufficient album, but there is no song that attracts attention or that stays in your head.

An enjoyable album, although this is not my favorite version of Björk.

Definitely Extreme's best album, an enjoyable album that mixes hard rock/heavy metal sounds and funk elements.

A successful combination of rock, blues and country. A pleasant album and a high-level debut.

This album seems to have more contacts with Cloud Factory than the previous ones, in fact certain jazz, reggae, etc. digressions are "put on hold" veering towards a hardening of the general sound. The album is enjoyable but lacks those identifying songs that remain impressed in the head at the first listen.

Of all the names of the new wave of English post-punk, Squid have always given me the impression of being the ones with the most unpredictable future and in fact the evolution between their first and second album was not a surprise.
Even in this new work they confirm my impressions by making a decent album, certainly not their best though.

Kate Bush composes an album with two faces: one has a foot firmly planted in its time (side A), the other (side B) where music has no boundaries of any kind and is art.

Their last great album in my opinion. Stunning melodies, impeccable instrumental virtuosity and technique, a beautiful concept, and only one adjective: masterpiece.

“Songs Of A Lost World” is an honest, heartfelt, coherent album, one of the best of the year and probably the best of The Cure in the last 30 years. A nice surprise after so many years of silence.

This Mogwai album was disappointing: there is no song that stands out and it all seems a bit the same. Many of the songs, especially those from the middle of the album, are forgettable.
The length of the album seems infinite and the album is monotonous and at times even a bit boring.

“Operation: Mindcrime” is the pinnacle of Queensrÿche’s discography and a fundamental milestone in 80s heavy metal to which many who came after are indebted.
Everything in this album is at its best: from Geoff Tate, to Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton’s guitars, to Eddie Jackson’s bass and Scott Rockenfield’s drums.
A masterpiece.

Rust In Peace is a clear, honest album, where technique is not used to hide a lack of ideas and aggression is not used to hide a lack of technique: in this album there is everything, many ideas, songwriting and also technique.
Everything is in its place, in a mix that generates an unrepeatable, indispensable and unforgettable album.

Nick Cave manages to create suggestive atmospheres and transmits the emotional intensity that the artist wanted to convey.
The album, however, is characterized by an excessive and pompous use of choirs and arrangements, making listening less fluid unlike the best episodes of Nick Cave where the songs evolved in a more natural way. These elements break the balance of a good but not memorable album.
Despite everything, however, some songs such as Final Rescue Attempt, Conversion and Long Dark ... read more

Album not appreciated by critics and fans but I think that Falling Into Infinity, although not the best Dream Theater album, is clearly superior to the majority of the band's subsequent releases (with the exception of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory).
A pleasant album that is easy to listen to, with some moments of decline but also without ever really boring.

Whatever subgenre of metal you love, you will love this album.
No more words are needed: Painkiller is heavy metal because it has it all: an inimitable singer, two inspired guitarists, a massacring drum section.
There is epicness, power, aggression, mind-blowing melodies and exhilarating choruses.

Blood Incantation don't invent anything (the death metal and 70's prog rock influences are quite evident), but they manage to blend the genres obtaining a record that is never boring to listen to. Great record, maybe the best metal record of 2024.

Seeing the reviews during the year and the charts at the end, I tried to give this album a chance several times.
Despite everything, I couldn't understand what was brilliant about this album that seemed to me a collection of electropop clichés that has nothing revolutionary.

It's not a great album like the previous 4 and there's a big change in style.
It's certainly not a thrash album, but it has some nice riffs that stick in your head, as well as great arrangements and melodies.
It's still a good mainstream metal album.
