CD: Running Wild - Port Royal
From: DiegoHeavyWagner Date: January 9, 2012 at 17:21
Otro excelente trabajo de la etapa clásica de los RW. Todos los temas son excelentes, pero me gusta bastante la instrumental Final Gates, donde destaca el bajo de Jens Becker.

CD: Running Wild - Death or Glory
From: DiegoHeavyWagner Date: January 9, 2012 at 17:17
El punto mas alto en cuanto a creatividad, producción, alineación...Todos los temas son de calidad y los riffs de guitarra poderosos.This album rocks!!!!

CD: Megadeth - Risk
From: ghettonation73 Date: November 14, 2011 at 9:55
I will have to say this is Megadeth's only sub-par disc, Metallica had three. Megadeth, only this one. Not as good as their previous or later efforts, but not as bad as Metallica's Load of Shit, Blow Loads or St. Craper.

CD: Tyton - Mind Over Metal
From: lithray Date: November 5, 2011 at 16:48
I agree shoemaker. How this one fell off the edge of the world, I'll never know. Still one of my faves of all time. Searched for this CD for 22 years til' someone finally pressed it with their 1st album in 2009. Great vocals, pretty cool lyrically, too.

CD: Testament - The Legacy
From: edwithmj Date: August 24, 2011 at 18:21
Great thrash debut. Over The Wall is one of their best tracks. Metallica who?

CD: Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray
From: shoemaker Date: July 2, 2011 at 5:27
The last good album from FW. After this the downfall have begun. Like DREAM THEATER after their second and QUEENSRYCHE after "Promised Land" these great bands decided to go into a new "modern" direction. For me it´s just crappppp!

CD: Fates Warning - Inside Out
From: shoemaker Date: June 23, 2011 at 5:38
Yes, Mr. Zze, but it´s brilliant!

CD: Labyrinth - Return to Heaven Denied
From: shoemaker Date: June 23, 2011 at 5:36
Sound is near to FATES WARNINGs Parellels and inside out era!

CD: Radakka - Requiem for The Innocent
From: shoemaker Date: June 23, 2011 at 5:34
First album is better, LILLIAN AXE goes metal!

CD: Heir Apparent - One Small Voice
From: shoemaker Date: June 21, 2011 at 16:19
In Gorle´s words is BENITO an asshole, but in listeners ears he is one of the best singers in progressive metal. Where is he gone? I heard this one back in the days, while I was reading a brilliant book at the same time. The book is called "the hunters of the red moon". Music and story built a fine mixture, I will never forget in my life!

CD: Tyton - Mind Over Metal
From: shoemaker Date: June 21, 2011 at 16:11
No comment for this masterpiece. If you like Leatherwolf, Armored Saint and other us metal topacts this one is a musthave!!!

CD: Armored Saint - Symbol Of Salvation
From: shoemaker Date: June 21, 2011 at 16:06

CD: Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
From: fcmahlzeit Date: May 28, 2011 at 18:10
My favourite Maiden album, perfect from the beginning to the end...Up the Irons!

CD: Motorhead - Another Perfect Day
From: fcmahlzeit Date: May 28, 2011 at 18:07
Another great Motörhead album, the only one with Brian Robertson. Was not so popular when it was released in 1983, but IMO this is one of their best. Favourite tracks are Back at the funny farm, Dancing on your grave, I got mine and Shine.

CD: Motorhead - Overkill
From: fcmahlzeit Date: May 28, 2011 at 17:40
Brilliant album. Stay clean, the title track, No class, Damage case, Metropolis...one of Lemmy's finest works.

CD: Anthrax - Among the Living
From: edwithmj Date: May 23, 2011 at 20:22
Still one of the finest thrash albums out there. I am the Law is a timeless classic.

CD: Judas Priest - Nostradamus
From: Doug Date: April 7, 2011 at 17:22
What does everyone think of this album?

CD: Disturbed - Indestructible
From: Doug Date: April 7, 2011 at 17:16
Good album, worth checking out. I did, and from of all places, my local library. Seems our little 'ol lady librarians are rockers. Who woulda thunk it?

CD: Queensryche - Promised Land
From: Doug Date: April 7, 2011 at 17:13
AGREE! The beginning of the end.

CD: Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
From: edwithmj Date: March 21, 2011 at 18:01
Not one bad song on here. My favourite will always be Number of the Beast though.

CD: Anthrax - Fistful of Metal
From: ronaldsinaga Date: March 20, 2011 at 9:05
There's only 2 songs i loved in this album : Metal Trashing mad and cover of Alice Cooper tune : I'm eighteen...

CD: Anthrax - Spreading the Disease
From: ronaldsinaga Date: March 20, 2011 at 9:00
One of my favorite Anthrax record but I think Among The Living is their best....

CD: Lacuna Coil - Comalies
From: Leykis101 Date: March 18, 2011 at 10:26
Heavens A Lie is one of the all time greatest songs ever recorded, you should buy this album for that song alone! don't know how the rest of it sounds, dont really care either,

CD: Urban Dance Squad - Persona Non Grata
From: Leykis101 Date: March 18, 2011 at 10:25
Demagogue Kicks off with a hard ass beat, I mean it's one of those jams where the funk guitar kicks into one stride, and bounces up and down the entire song, pretty cool song, unique, didn't care for anything else on the album!!

CD: Monster Magnet - God Says No
From: CC Date: March 15, 2011 at 9:00
Not sure what the deal is with this one, but I bought this around the time it came out and my copy has 14 tracks, the final one being "I want more".

CD: Queensryche - Promised Land
From: shoemaker Date: March 10, 2011 at 14:12
THE BEGINNING OF THE END!!!

CD: Chroming Rose - Insight
From: shoemaker Date: March 7, 2011 at 15:55
This is brilliant. Depeche Mode influenced Hardrock. So sad this was their "last breath"!

CD: Destination's Calling - Invisible Walls
From: shoemaker Date: March 5, 2011 at 10:59
This is a fine piece of Hardrock/Metal. Similar to GLENMORE, influences from FATES WARNING, QUEENSRYCHE and HELLOWEEN.

CD: Virgin Steele - Age of Consent
From: shoemaker Date: March 5, 2011 at 10:49
In those days they ruled. Clayton77 tells only the truth here. Nowadays they only suck!!!

CD: Aska - Avenger
From: shoemaker Date: March 5, 2011 at 10:46
This is a fine mix of MAIDEN, VIRGIN STEELE and DIO.

CD: Lethal - Programmed
From: shoemaker Date: March 5, 2011 at 10:43
That´s right!

CD: Metal Church - The Dark
From: edwithmj Date: February 21, 2011 at 17:05
My favourite song has to be Method To Your Madness but the whole album is definitely classic thrash/heavy metal.

CD: Savage - Loose 'N Lethal
From: fcmahlzeit Date: February 16, 2011 at 17:11
One of the best NWOBHM albums. Let It Loose, Cry Wolf, Berlin...the album is full of killer tracks. They surely influenced Metallica in the beginning, who even covered Let It Loose.

CD: Barren Cross - Atomic Arena
From: rockhardrock Date: February 13, 2011 at 12:34
This is the 1st album by this band I listened to and just like many of you wrote here on this site and after all things that I read about this group I defenitely agree that the singer has dickinson's voice. the music here is close to maiden's albums powerslave, somewhere in time. so I can say that this one is as good as any maiden album and the lyrics, well something that maiden haven't written until today, they are not worshiping the devil. my faves: imaginary music, deadlock and king of kings.

CD: Believer - Dimensions
From: rockhardrock Date: February 12, 2011 at 11:36
impressive album. couldn't believe they are a christian band until I read the lyrics which are mostly from the Bible. Very complex songwriting by these guys and quite a lot of industrial elements. all members are talented. Even though I didn't like progressive style back then in my teenage years but this record showed me a new perspective in listening to the music.

CD: Judas Priest - Metalogy
From: Doug Date: February 8, 2011 at 12:37
Pretty much everything you would ever need to know about Priest is contained here.

CD: Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare
From: rockhardrock Date: February 5, 2011 at 13:27
this is the first album by this band I've listened to and it's really grown on me. great thrash album and I like they are christian band. my faves: weapons of our warfare, solitude (like the solo very much), 23 and if we faint not.

CD: Judas Priest - Stained Class
From: Doug Date: February 2, 2011 at 15:25
The album right before they exploded on the scene. I used to play the heck out of this one back in the day. It's really good. Les Binks was a better drummer IMO than Dave Holland, although will not go as far to say better than Scott Travis.

CD: Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
From: Doug Date: February 2, 2011 at 15:18
My favorite Sabbath album!

CD: Skold - Skold
From: Leykis101 Date: January 5, 2011 at 6:06
One ULTRA FUCKING UNDERATTED DISC! Tim decided after experimenting with electronic music on the final Shotgun Messiah disc, that was the road he was destined to pursue, and what a tremendous fucking job he does, this disc digs the fuck into you from the opening track right up until it finishes you off with the closing track, Chaos is a hard and heavy lead off track, I have to say the one thing this disc severely lacks and suffers from is the axe work from Harry Cody! and that is imho the one and only thing that makes this disc inferior to Violent New Breed, but the 2 trax on this disc that stand far and abouve the rest, are the 2 mellow spaced out cuts, Hail Mary, and the best song on the disc, Remember! but it's all listenable, all 10 trax, and if you liked Shotgun Messiah - Violent New Breed, or are into any Marylin Manson's Tim Skold era stuff, you have missed out BIG!! by not having this disc. so go get it, right now!!!

CD: Dark Angel - Time Does Not Heal
From: juan carlos Date: December 29, 2010 at 14:30
One of the best Thrash album ever!! totally agree with the comments above. "An Ancient Inherited Shame" defines this album, totally a MASTERPIECE, are there any doubts about it? 100/100

CD: Black Sabbath - Headless Cross
From: MikeTuinstra Date: December 28, 2010 at 10:19
Keyboards add moods. As said above: darker lyrics dealing with the occult - trademark Sabbath, and good at that. Musically great songwriting and vocally superb. Underrated and overlooked because of the better known/hyped up Ozzy and Dio franchises. Each lineup is a different band, a different incarnation of Sabbath within its time frame. Among the very best of Sabbath - great, unique, and at places unmatched for harmonic song structure and vocals.

CD: Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
From: Rex Niske Date: December 25, 2010 at 10:55
Great Disc my fave Disturbed reallease, somme fillers,but overall a rellay superb disc Striken Ten Thousand Fists Just Stop Land of Confusion Guarded Decadence are really kick ass songs and again great disc!!!

CD: Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil
From: Rex Niske Date: December 25, 2010 at 10:45
Great Disc!!! the change in the style make really good to these guys,simply great disc,one of my all time faves,with no fillers "Beast and the Harlot","Burn It Down","Blinded in Chains","Bat Country","Sidewinder","Strength of the World" are my faves,but the whole disc is amazing,great job guys!!!

CD: Metallica - St. Anger
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:55
well this is the album they promised would be old school again and delivered nothing the minute i heard lars' snare drum i nearly cried in my beer and no solo's from kirk he said he didn't want to do the same oild bluesy bends anymore why didn't he just come out and say 'i've run out of ideas' like the rest of them even a new bass player couldn't help is this realy the same band that made ride the lightning or was it another case of milli vanilli pathetic!

CD: Metallica - ReLoad
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:48
don't be silly guys this is just plain crap! i wanted to give this a zero rating but the site wouldn't let me so i grudgingly gave it a 1 the unforgiven 2 is garbage fuel sucks and the memory remains is childish they ripped people off with this a bunch of songs that never made it on the load album how about making an album called exp-load or un-load they were officially the biggest wankers in the world after this

CD: Metallica - Load
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:42
this is crap only aint my bitch,until it sleeps and hero of the day are worth listening too man they even try and go country on momma said what a bunch of wankers

CD: Metallica - Metallica
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:39
this was the bigining of the end for metallica i've had my moments when i've hung shit on this album but the truthis it's a good album not a great one though it has good songs the sad thing is you had 8 year old kids listening to metallica even fans of poopy top 40 stuff were in to them that made it sad for me as good as this album is you just knew where they were heading afterwards sadly they have never recaptured what they did in their glorious past it got to the point where i literaly hated metallica and didn't even listen to anything of them it's sad what happened to them

CD: Metallica - ...And Justice For All
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:29
this was the first metallica album i ever heard so it holds a special place in my heart blackened had me from the start what a great song as is the title track,one harverster of sorrow,shortest straw and the underated frayed ends of sanity the bass was horribly turned down jason is on record as saying this wasn't a good album for him and the production is lacking but it's a great album the last of the real metallica after this they would divede opinion forever for me the black album was good even though it's commercial and yes they sold out but they sucked after that and became close to the biggest tossers in the world it pains me to say

CD: Metallica - Master Of Puppets
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:22
metallica's second best album i thought ride the lightning had everything this close though love battery,welcome home(sanatarium),lepper massiah,damage inc but the song master of puppets is the best song and just brilliant kirks solo when they bring the music back in on that song is what makes it and gets me every time what a great album

CD: Metallica - Ride The Lightning
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:15
this hands down is the best metallica album ever i must admit i like megadeth better but this is the best that both those bands done this is the best thrash album there is fight fire with fire makes me want to hammer heads i love it! and ride the lightning for whom the bell tolls,trapped under ice,creeping death,call of ktulu even the underated escape but the best by far and their best song ever is the brilliant fade to black that song is a masterpeice plain and simple

CD: Metallica - Kill Em All
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:08
a great album better production then megath's debut but clearly you can hear dave's influence and sound all through this kirk was never a better guitarist then dave he's ok but more of a poser and half wit to boot but i love the four horseman,jump in the fire and seek and destroy

CD: Megadeth - Endgame
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 9:02
i'll gladly be the first reviewer of this one this is the best thing they made since countdown they are kicking ass in a big way on this megadave hasn't sounded this good in years this day we fight and head crusher i just fucking love it gets me every time i listen to it from start to finnish it hammers people just go straight out and get this it's money well spent

CD: Megadeth - The System Has Failed
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:56
this was megadeth showing some of that glorious past nice to see chris poland on this after all these years blackmail of the universe,kick the chair and mice and men are just fine stuff

CD: Megadeth - The World Needs A Hero
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:52
from the first song you knew megadeth were back on the right path their best work since countdown al pitrelli while he's no marty he's an inspired choice love disconect,the title track,moto phsyco,100 times goodbye,promise and dread and the fugitive mind return to hangar was unnecesary and when was highly stupid but the rest is fine stuff indeed

CD: Megadeth - Risk
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:44
oh my good i payed full price for this when it first came out without listening to it and when i put it on i was horrified it pains me to say this but i could listen to load and reload before this and i realy dislike them of the album crush em was vaidly ok and bread line listenable but that's it thank god they were better what a poor way for marty to depart

CD: Megadeth - Cryptic Writings
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:37
this is a strange megadeth album it divided opimion for sure they changed a bit but it still had enough good songs on it i actualy like it better than so far so good so what but it's not on par with the others trust is brilliant love the way it builds also love almost honest,use the man,mater mind,i'll get even and secret place to me it's a very good album still

CD: Megadeth - Hidden Treasures
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:31
some great suff here great cover of the alice classic decent cover of paranoid but problem sucks the rest very good though enjoyable

CD: Megadeth - Youthanasia
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:28
well slayer 666 if i'm not mistaken slayers divine intervention was out round about this time too and let me tell you that's a horrible fucking album this in comparison shits on that best songs here are reckoning day,train of concequences,addicted to chaos,blood of heros,black curtains,victory and the stand out track the awsome toute le monde still have the evolver video about the making of this album and you love it even more after watching it

CD: Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:18
this is not as commercial as metallica's black album in fact it it still has the heaviness but better production it's the first megadeth album i ever got and symphony of destruction had me with that thundering riff but i also love skin of my teeth,foreclosure of a dream,sweating bullets,this was my life,countdown and phsycotron they hit their popularity peak with this one for sure

CD: Megadeth - Rust in Peace
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 8:09
this to me was the true follow up to peace sells technicaly their best but i like peace sells just slightly better this is their most talented and best lineup it's a shame marty never stayed though he did say he was never a big fan of speed/thrash metal i love holy wars,the iron maidenish hangar 18,five magics and tornado of souls yes dawn patrol is silly but the rest kicks arse totaly essential this album

CD: Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What!
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:58
after the great peace sells this was a big let down it's not a shit album by any means just an average one with some good songs but mind you the good is very good like mary jane,hook in mouth and in my darkest hour however anarchy sux even the original sux let alone a cover of it megadeth would soon get better then this that's for sure

CD: Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:53
a true metal master peice and dead set classic wake up dead is my favourite megadeth song even lars ulrich said secretly it was one of his favourite albums but how about the conjuring,peace sells,devils island,good mourning/black friday and my last words anyone who says this aint a classic clearly has their hand on it

CD: Megadeth - Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good!
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:47
well starvin marvin i agree about the mechanix partialy the four horseman had better lyrics and is a more memerable song but it was dave who made both with that great riff boots is totaly unnecesary but the rest of this album is good production badly lacking and clearly it was rushed but it's so innocent and a peice of metal history that all thrash fans should own it

CD: Manowar - Louder than Hell
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:41
i fucking love this album! how cool is it man? it was 1996 and the world was depressed having to listen to pricks who were depressed and looked like garbage collectors (grunge) metallica were going silly with their load crap and some old bands were embarasing themselves by getting on the band wagon but at least we had ac/dc and manowar staying true love return of the warlord,brothers of metal, the gods made heavy metal,courage,number1 and king thank god we have bands like this who stay true fighting the indeed

CD: Manowar - Fighting the World
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:29
wow man i think manowar are cheesy, silly,macho,loud and just fucking great i realy enjoy them eric adams has a great voice and manowar just get you pumped their songs are highly amusing best for me are the title track,blow your speakers,carry on,defender and black wind fire and steel if manowar annoy you you have no sense of humour

CD: Lizzy Borden - Love You To Pieces
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:14
not sure why lizzy's on this site as he's on HH site also but i love this album and for what it's worth lizzy has an amazing voice

CD: Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier
From: pie75 Date: September 7, 2010 at 7:07
cc i can't agree with you there i think the sound of this is the best since bruce returned to be honest there is nothing memerable but it's old school i liken the sound to somewhere in time era old maiden fans should enjoy this i do and for what its worth the title track is a good song put simply it's another nice edition to the maiden catalogue

CD: Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:54
good album but i liked the dance of death album betterthis is hardre and louder though maiden don't make bad albums just some better then others

CD: Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:51
what's all the negative comments about this album? i thought this was better then brave new world and more in line with the older maiden as i said stop rating them against number of the beast

CD: Iron Maiden - Brave New World
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:42
from the first chords of the wicker man to bruce chanting your time will come you knew that maiden were back bruce is the man and the 3 guitar attack works beautifuly why are people on here going on about maiden against metallica? metallica were once a great band but hardly better then maiden simple as that end of story welcome back bruce

CD: Iron Maiden - Virtual XI
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:31
metal t you make a couple of great points though when you do hear bruce sing the blaze songs it sounds like he should've sang them all along but there are good songs here like futereal,lightning strikes twice,the clansman and the whoish the angel and the gambler is not as bad as people say herestrangly steve harris said in an interview that this was one of his favourite maiden albums not as heavy or dark as x factor but a decent album though i gotta say bruce's accident of birth which came out round the same time killed this

CD: Iron Maiden - The X Factor
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:18
firstly when rating this album you have to take 2 things into account 1.blaze was replacing a great and popular vocalist in bruce and 2.at the time this came out grunge was all the rage.It was a bad time to leave for bruce his and maidens career stalled not that blaze is a bad singer(though wolfsbane did nothing for me)he did his best and the album isn't bad it had some good songs none memerable but good songs like sign of the cross,lord of the flies,man on the edge,judgement of heaven,the unbeleiver but i thought the best was the moody fortunes of war think about the terrible nineties guys this wasn't that bad

CD: Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 5:02
better and harder then no prayer some great songs still i don't think their's a bad song here but not as great as the classic albums people get caught up rating anything they do against the 80-88 period rate it for what it is and it's enjoyable good songs are be quick or be dead,from here to eternety,afraid to shoot strangers,wasting love,fugitive,judas be my guide and the best is saved for last the title track is good enough to be any of their albums

CD: Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:54
i think this album is very underated it's maiden getting back to basics adrian smith leaving did hurt but jannick gers is a great player too otherwise when bruce and adrian came back why would they not get rid of gers sure theor golden period was over and though not as good as seventh son it is more honest tailgunner is aces high 2(good song 2) this album has plenty of good songs holy smoke,no prayer,the assasin,run silent,run deep,hooks in you muther russia and regardless what anyone says bring your daughter to the slaughter was a good song 2

CD: Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:44
the last of the classic maiden albums every song is great experimenting with a concept album was ballsy but they pulled it off the most underated song here is the prophecy

CD: Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:33
from start to finish this is agreat album wasted years is my absolute favourite and i always thought sea of madness was overlooked great song maiden changed a bit here but still delivered the goods

CD: Iron Maiden - Live After Death
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:29
simply one of the great live albums i have the dvd also it was a great period and i had the pleasure of seeing it recreated on the somewhere back in time tour

CD: Iron Maiden - Powerslave
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:25
maiden certainly had a golden run through this period better then peice of mind and man how about aces high,2 minutes to midnight,flash of the blade,powerslave and the epic rime of the ancient mariner awsome stuff

CD: Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:17
another great album good follow up to the beast album not as good (though no album was)but it has some classics that's for sure where eagles dare,flight of icarus,die with your boots on,the trooper,still life and my favourite on this revelations classic album

CD: Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 4:09
maiden have made many great albums but this my friends is their best with the exception of invaders (though not a bad song)every song is a classic and seeing them live and hearing everybody sing the title track and run to the hills sends shivers down your spine the title track may just about be the greatest metal song ever every metal fan should own this simple as that

CD: Iron Maiden - Killers
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 3:14
dianno's swan song sadly he'd become nothing more then a club singer afterwards but this is a great album he's albums with maiden are classics great intro with ides of march and also love wrathchild,murders in the rue morgue,gangus khahn and killers a fine album indeed

CD: Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 3:05
one of the great debut albums they sounded young and fresh paul dianno is a good singer nowhere near as good as bruce dickinson but good all the same songs like running free,phantom of the opera,sanctuary,charlot the harlot and iron maiden are now metal classics

CD: Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 2:07
a great album thundering guitars,great drumming and an awsome voice in what sadly would be the great ronnie james dio's last hurrah you could be right underworld king it certainly is up there with the best albums of '09 ronnie your great voice will be missed dearly and what a pleasure it was to see you live when you came to australia rest in peace my friend

CD: Black Sabbath - Reunion
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 0:13
zld how could you get bored hearing paranoid and war pigs they are bona fide classics i must admit i caved in and was excited that hearing the original sabbath again the production is great and ozzy sounded great it's well worth it the new songs aren't much chop though ok at best (easy to see why they never done a full album again) the dio dio new songs on the dio years are stronger but for the performance a great album

CD: Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
From: pie75 Date: September 5, 2010 at 0:06
maybe the production could've been a bit better on this but it is an awsome,dark and heavy album and ronnie's voice is just amazing how 'bout computer god,after all(the dead),letter from earth,master of insanity,time machine and too late all simply great stuff

CD: Black Sabbath - Eternal Idol
From: pie75 Date: September 4, 2010 at 23:58
fully agree underworld king i scored this one in a bargain bin dirt cheap the first thing i thought was that it sounded very much like dio era tony martin's a good singer it's a shame he hasn't been given his due credit this and the headless cross are awsome albums

CD: Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
From: Leykis101 Date: August 27, 2010 at 0:48
Brilliance! A Masterpiece!!

CD: Virgin Steele - Age of Consent
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 8:09
i think they put too much songs on this album-16 well thats too much for me, cause it looks like a compilation. But the rest is good.it's a good melodic metal/power metal record. my favs here: the burning of rome, perfect mansions, stay on top, we are eternal and lion in winter.

CD: Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 8:04
i like the music here but i don't like the vocals much, cause they are too punk/hardcore punk. but overall this one is good thrash record.fast and heavy which is great! my favs: sreial killer, phobophobia and kill on command.

CD: Savatage - Streets - A Rock Opera
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 7:00
a conceptual album by savatage-awsome. i like to listen this album when is december, around christmass, the athmosphere is just the right. my favs here: streets, jesus saves, you're alive/sammy and tex, new york city don't mean nothing, ghost in the ruins, somewhere in time/believe.

CD: Savatage - Gutter Ballet
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 6:56
they made another step on this one after predecesor, added even more progressive elements. my favs: gutter ballet, of rage and war, when the crowds are gone and hounds.

CD: Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 6:53
one of my top three savatage albums. jon is awsome vocalist and chriss great guitarist. this album is a mixture of 80s classic metal and progressive, athmosferic metal. my favs: hall of the mountain king/prelude to madness, strange wings, 24 hours ago and legions.

CD: Queensryche - Empire
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 6:47
why shall i write anything here if Zze told almost everything, i will just add my favs on this record: best i can, silent lucidity, jet city woman, anybody listening and another rainy night without you

CD: Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 6:44
i relly love the sound on this album, it's great.i don't know who produced it but he did a great job. as i don't play any instrument, but i like to sing, the first thing that i hear is the voice of the singer and mr. Tate is a master! when i will take some time i will pay more attention also to the lyrics (story) of this album. my favs: revolution calling, i don't believe in love, eyes of the stranger, spreading the disease and breaking the silence. buy this record or just get it!!!

CD: Overkill - The Years Of Decay
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 6:37
cause i liked the song elemination i got the whole album. i've read somewhere that lots of people hate his vocals, but i kinda like it.i could say that this record is the last true thrash album by them, cause they transformed later, starting with horrorscope, into some kind of mixture between groove metal and thrash. my favs here: elemination, i hate and e.n.d.

CD: Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 5:54
not as much progressive element on this one compered to rust in peace album, but still my favourite album by them. my favs: peace sells, wake up dead, good morning black friday, devils island and i ain't superstitious

CD: Metallica - Kill Em All
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 5:47
there were(are) much more technically thrash metal bands, but still metallica moved thrash metal to almost mainstream popularity.this album is one of my favs of thrash metal subgenre. my favs: whiplash, the four horsemen and jump in the fire

CD: Judas Priest - Painkiller
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 5:31
in just few years from the album Turbo, they released probably the heaviest album with halford.this man really sings well.one of my fav singers. my favs: painkiller, metal meltdown, night crawler and touch of evil

CD: Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 5:27
true gem of this band. could also be my favourite album by priest.it's more melodic than british steel and has the best sound-typical 80s sound. my favs: you've got another thing comin', electric eye/hellion, devil's child, bloodstone and screaming for vengeance.

CD: Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 5:19
paul was cool singer but he didn't totaly fitted in maiden sound, but Bruce did (does). my favs: run to the hills, the prisoner, the number of the beast and hallowed be thy name

CD: Iron Maiden - Powerslave
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 3:42
another one that is to me considered as one of their best albums.as heavy and fast as their predecesor. my favs here: aces high, 2 minutes to midnight and powerslave.

CD: Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 3:39
probably my favourite maiden record.it is heavy, melodic and has lots of gems like: revelations, flight of icarus, the trooper and sun & steel.

CD: Forbidden - Forbidden Evil
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 3:34
when i first heard the first song on this album on youtube i said i must get this.but after listening to it only one more song attracted my atention-through the eyes of glass. i should say also that i like singer's voice.

CD: Annihilator - Never, Neverland
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 2:24
i heard that tese guys visited my country in 90 or 91, opening for judas priest. well at that time i had only 5 or 6 years of age, so it was impossible to get on that concert. i have also read very good critics about this album so i decided to get it, few years ago.and it is very good thrash record. my favs here: the fun palace, kraf dinner and phantasmagoria.

CD: Toxik - World Circus
From: rockhardrock Date: August 26, 2010 at 2:13
the first thing that i like on this album is the voice of the singer. he sure kicks ass with this voice. and as i know this subgenre of heavy metal, called thrash metal, i think it has also elements of progressive, so i think this record should be categorized as thechnical thrash metal. songs that i like most here are: heart attack, door to hell, world circus and haunted earth. If you don't have this one, go to youtube and check it and i think that you're gonna buy it or get it by any means.

CD: Black Sabbath - The Dio Years
From: pie75 Date: August 23, 2010 at 6:26
how refreshing to finaly get a best of containing dio's material it shits me that every best of is all ozzy's stuff and an ocasional dio song fact is people need to realise that sabbath still made great music with other singers too a pretty good compilation if you're wanting to hear dio with sabbath for the first time start right here even the new songs devil cried,ear in the wall and the moody shadow of the wind are fine stuff saw this tour when they came to australia what a great heavy show and now that dio has passed away it's one of my treasured memories the sad thing is i know people who are staunch ozzy fans and refuse to listen to these songs for fear of liking them that's sad

CD: Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
From: pie75 Date: August 23, 2010 at 6:15
whist i'm on record on this site as saying if you don't like paranoid then you don't like heavy metal i just love sabbath period the ozzy era is special and where heavy metal started but lets be honest ronnie james dio is a better singer and sabbath were at their musical best when he was in the band this is the greatest sabbath album ever how can you not like neon knights,children of the sea,lady evil,die young,lomely is the word and as big papa k says does metal get any better then the title track? probably not not only is this my favourite sabbath album but it's my favourite dio album a master peice simple as that r.i.p ronnie james dio the metal world will miss you

CD: Black Sabbath - Paranoid
From: pie75 Date: August 23, 2010 at 5:57
you know this site would not even be alive if it weren't for this band.Paranoid what can i say that hasn't already been said of this only that it's an out and out classic war pigs,paranoid electric funeral,faries wear boots and one of the all time great and timeless riffs iron man that riff still sounds fresh today 40 years on plain and simple if you don't like this album you don't like heavy metal

CD: Angra - Angels Cry
From: juan carlos Date: August 21, 2010 at 13:43
No creo que sea para tanto. 8/10 Nunca fui fan de Angra pero siento mucho respeto por ellos. Yo prefiero a los Dream Theater aunque esto son mas Power pero con ese toque progresivo y hasta operistico que la verdad no me gusta. Solo Buen disco para mi IMO. 777 hi Pujo! di algo ps Hincha, ya q tu eres la Queen del aor

CD: Incantation - The Infernal Storm
From: juan carlos Date: August 19, 2010 at 17:36
Si hay grupos de Death Metal que me suenan a repetitivos, pues los Incantation me es uno de ellos. No soy fan de Incantation de hecho, soy mas de los que hacen un Death Metal bien tecnico y rapido tambien pero con gancho, contagioso y con fiereza. Lastima que este grupo no es de mis preferidos pero tampoco es malo, lo justo. 8/10 Saludos Manco, como siempre soy el de la Ultima Palabra

CD: Mortal Decay - Forensic
From: juan carlos Date: August 19, 2010 at 0:48
Voces guturales muy a lo Suffocation, Deicide y algo a Broken Hope. Junta a estos 3 grupos y te sale Mortal Decay. El sonido de la bateria algo latoso y sin alma es lo que no me gusta del disco, por lo demas es un correcto album de Death Metal algo tecnico y con muchas vocecillas algo retorcidas. 8/10

CD: Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier
From: CC Date: August 13, 2010 at 12:29
Yeah they are great live, but ever since Bruce returned to the band, their recorded output has been dull as dishwater. This one is no different. At first Satellite 15 got my hopes up, as it sounded different to anything they had done before, but as soon as Final Frontier starts, its all business as usual. Songs with little or no originality sounding like poor carbon copies of better songs from their back catalogue. An lets not even mention the fact that these days their ideas of a chorus equals repeating the same line over and over again. 'The final frontier. The final frontier. The final frontier.' A child could have written better than that. Certainly not an awful album, but one that certainly leaves me just as cold as every studio album released since Bruce returned.

CD: Polaris - Seven Arrows
From: juan carlos Date: August 6, 2010 at 12:09
Estos me suenan a la version femenina de los Dream Theater, nada nuevo al oyente pero si te va el Progressive Metal, pues puede ser de buena eleccion este album, la voz de Olivia esta muy bien. 7.5

CD: Grave Digger - The Last Supper
From: underworld king Date: August 5, 2010 at 21:39
one word. Awesome

CD: Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
From: rockhardrock Date: July 31, 2010 at 17:31
untill now i,ve heard only this album by them and it's one of my favs. Singer is(was-too bad he passed away so quickly) one of the best in the heavy metal history,such a voice! my favs here include: Valhalla, Dragon Lady, Heart Of Steel and Mayday. I recommend you this metal gem.

CD: Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
From: edwithmj Date: July 24, 2010 at 19:38
Great classic heavy metal album; it starts of brilliantly with the title track and it doesn't stop till the end.

CD: Hittman - Vivas Machina
From: juan carlos Date: July 10, 2010 at 3:32
Well, this album surprised me a bit. Really Good Hardrock with some great riffs and clear production. I admit this album i had to listen more than once. My favorite song is the 'Ballad of Jackson Heights'. Dirk Kennedy reminds me of Michael Bormann. Good booklet and recommended but give it more than one listen. 8.5/10

CD: Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise
From: edwithmj Date: July 9, 2010 at 5:25
Badlands and The Spell Can't Be Broken are my favourite songs here. Good heavy album.

CD: Rigor Mortis - Freaks
From: juan carlos Date: July 8, 2010 at 21:25
What!? music is not so good? nahh.. if you like Speed Metal with a punk-y edge this is for you. 'Vs. the Earth' is an Awesome album, this EP is great as well. If You are a Fan of Rigor Mortis... Headbanging! 9/10

CD: Armageddon - The Money Mask
From: mak28 Date: June 15, 2010 at 16:59
A fun album. It's like a Christian version of Alice Cooper's 'Raise Your Fist and Yell.' Plenty of heavy riffing, shredding guitar solos, double bass (think Roses on White Lace), with all the same trappings (Cheesy lyrics, 80's recording). It has been remastered and sounds great now. It still has that clinical 80's production but it has great punch and a big volume boost. One of the better 80's traditional metal albums from the Christian realm. More unique than most.

CD: Anthrax - Live - the Island Years
From: underworld king Date: May 27, 2010 at 21:28
My bad instead of Dan Spitz it's Rob Caggiano.

CD: Anthrax - Sound of White Noise
From: underworld king Date: May 27, 2010 at 21:26
As to what Eddie said five years earlier with the exception to Dan Spitz.

CD: Anthrax - Live - the Island Years
From: underworld king Date: May 27, 2010 at 21:24
Once again 'Joey Belladonna, Scott Ian, Dan Spitz, Charlie Benante, and Frank Bello are back together this year!' I hope to see them live this year as I haven't seen them since 1991.
