Emerson, Lake & Palmer -Brain Salad Surgery
hjhhjij
This album stands on three things: H.R. Giger's artwork, Lake's stunning song "Still...You Turn Me On," which is just fucking beautiful—why don’t they let him do everything? And finally, "Karn Evil 9," which is the ultimate Carnival of excess from the trio, particularly Emerson. And if there must be excess, let it be a grand, theatrical, engaging, and infinite spectacle ("To the Show That..." eh, not just for show). The Lake/Sinfield duo resurfaces for the lyrics, and I get emotional just reading the credits. Oh, I love it. Even more live. Then, well, "Jerusalem," thanks to Lake's voice, has never bothered me. "Toccata," on the other hand, is when they want to show off with someone else's stuff and end up being comical. From minute 5 to minute 6, guys, go listen to it—it’s Super Mario, killing mushrooms and jumping to grab stars, I swear. AVANT-GARDE. more

Grave Digger | DeRank™: 3,00

Musically dead for 15 years, but the works composed between '93 and 2001, The Reaper and Tunes Of War among them, are masterpieces of European Power Metal and should not be ignored. For the past couple of years, they've been doing, if we can put it that way, the homework from 7 on almost every album, but listening to them is always a pleasure if you're looking to have some fun for about an hour. They’re a bit cheesy, but the kind you can’t help but love. more
Virgin Steele -The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Part Two
Harlan
Virgin Steele show no signs of waning inspiration, and a year and a half after the release of the first chapter, they release the second part of The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell. Some of the tight rhythms that characterized the first part are lost, only to be replaced by a musical theatricality and a sound that is, at many points, pompous and almost flashy. The album will be cited by many as an inspiration for the Symphonic Metal genre. Pursino manages to create wonderful guitar passages, as in Crown Of Glory, Emalaith, Victory Is Mine, supported by a David Defeis in full maturity both in composition and vocals, managing to create surreal atmospheres in pieces like Prometheus, Twilight Of The Gods, or the tightly wound Devil/Angel and Symphony Of Steele. A masterpiece. more

Emerson, Lake & Palmer -Trilogy

Emerson, Lake & Palmer — Trilogy | DeRank™: 3,00

The maturity album of the trio, part of the series "three is the perfect number." Along with their debut (which, for me, is slightly better), it's their most successful work. Shockingly balanced and cohesive by their standards in its alternating longer, more complex tracks with simpler, shorter songs, it surpasses those on "Tarkus" and feels lighter and less serious. In short, it's also a fun album at times (see "The Sheriff" or "Hoedown"). Lake brings out the quintessential song of the band, which is "From the Beginning" (primarily for acoustic and electric guitar), which is simply a beautiful song, and for them, "beautiful song" is like a mirage. The title track (especially the first two wonderful minutes) is one of their best works. It’s a shame about the boring final bolero; definitely, Emerson does not measure up to Ravel, but look at that... more
