 The distinctive element of Cynic is indeed the vocals of Paul Masvidal, featuring both vocoder and death voice.

 Metallica has made a series of missteps: firstly, besides the three singles, they published all the tracks on their YouTube channel in the days leading up to the album’s release, diminishing interest in the album.

 A sufficient album but hampered by its lengthiness and lack of new ideas.

Metallica's 10th studio album arrives after eight years, sparking divided opinions among fans. Despite some strong moments from band members, the double album feels lengthy and unoriginal. Production and performances receive mixed feedback. Notable tracks include the tribute 'Murder One' and the powerful 'Spit Out the Bone.' Overall, the album is sufficient but lacks fresh ideas. Discover the highs and lows of Metallica’s latest album—listen and decide if Hardwired... To Self Destruct lives up to its legacy!

 It’s practically a pop track like those played on the radio and forgotten after 2 months.

 The album is worth no more than one star, it’s much less original than it’s made out to be and absolutely unpleasant to listen to.

The reviewer is disappointed by Bring Me the Horizon's fifth album 'That's the Spirit,' emphasizing its departure from metal roots towards trivial electropop.

 It's a nice piece regarding Papa Emeritus III’s vocals, the lyrics are not bad until the chorus starts.

 I hope the band has only had a moment of light and shade and does not worsen by preferring easy success over quality music.

Ghost's 'Square Hammer' EP follows their successful album 'Meliora' and Grammy win. The reviewer appreciates the vocals, music, and guitar solo but criticizes the chorus and preceding riff. The EP mainly features the single and covers, seen as an interlude between albums. Overall, the review rates the work as solid but flawed. Discover Ghost’s latest EP 'Popestar' and judge the mix of hits and flaws in 'Square Hammer' yourself!

 After 30 years, even with different members, they do not ridicule themselves like many metal bands.

 A good record, not great, 3 and a half stars would be ideal but I generously give it 4 for the band that gave birth to grindcore.

Napalm Death's sixteenth album 'Apex Predator - Easy Meat' shows a mix of grindcore, hardcore punk, and death metal influences. Though the lineup has evolved, the band still delivers strong music with notable tracks like 'How the Years Condemn' and 'Dear Slum Landlord.' Some tracks feel conventional, but overall the album is solid. The review praises the band for maintaining relevance after 30 years. Discover how Napalm Death evolves grindcore—listen to 'Apex Predator - Easy Meat' now!
