 "The album ends with Dylan’s 'She Belongs to Me,' resurrected from the mortal boredom of its original version into over 12 minutes of truly exciting variations."

 "'Nice' is a partially studio-produced album, with only four tracks being studio recorded, the rest capturing the band’s live energy at the Fillmore East."

The Nice's final album 'Nice' is a complex and engaging progressive rock work that combines classical music inspiration with blues and jazz elements. Featuring both studio and live tracks, it highlights Keith Emerson’s evolving artistry and the band’s live prowess. While not as acclaimed as their earlier work, this album holds a special place for fans and collectors.

 With Lykaia, Soen have abandoned what they knew how to do best: powerful rhythms, frequent tempo changes, sudden drops in dynamics to then explode again in other unison riffs.

 Now they have transformed: the progressive component has been reduced and overall, the result is well-constructed and certainly well-played metal, but it leaves little room for anything else.

Soen's Lykaia marks a clear stylistic shift from their earlier progressive metal roots. The album features well-executed metal with less emotional depth and fewer dynamic rhythms. While some bluesy solos add atmosphere, many feel out of place. The vocals lack previous intensity, and the bass work seems uninspired compared to the prior album. Overall, Lykaia feels flatter and less original, leaving fans hoping for a fresh start rather than an endpoint. Explore Soen's Lykaia and judge for yourself the shift in their progressive metal journey.

 Their mix is not complex: take the Sonics, the Iguana of 'Raw Power,' the early Cramps, and the Germs by D’Arby Crash.

 The opening 'Kawasaki ZII750 Rock N’ Roll' is a punch in the stomach.

This review highlights Guitar Wolf’s 1997 album Planet of the Wolves as a powerful and raw punk rock experience.

Overall, it's a recommended listen for fans of wild and primitive punk rock. Listen to Guitar Wolf's Planet of the Wolves and experience raw Japanese punk at its wildest!

 It’s a kind of a bad copy of Queens of the Stone Age (and not from the good old days) but played by Mastodon.

 The song isn’t bad per se, but simply, it isn’t a Mastodon song.

The review expresses disappointment in Mastodon's song 'Show Yourself,' viewing it as a weak and uninspired track compared to their earlier work. The reviewer feels the song resembles a lesser version of Queens of the Stone Age and lacks the band's usual technical prowess and creativity. While open to change, the reviewer hopes this is only a minor slip in an otherwise strong career. Discover the full review and decide if Mastodon's 'Show Yourself' aligns with your metal taste.

 An endless chaotic progression; a nightmare deserving of top marks.

 The concluding trash: twenty-seven minutes... of electronic Techno-Thrash... compel me to give a thumbs down without any second thoughts.

The review praises Integrity 2000 for delivering powerful, chaotic metalcore with epic and harsh elements reminiscent of Bolt Thrower. The first ten tracks captivate with dense production and intense vocals. A surprising but positive acoustic-psychedelic folk-rock track introduces variety. However, the final two electronic techno-thrash tracks heavily disappoint, dragging down the overall rating. Despite the flawed ending, the album is highly regarded for its first two-thirds. Experience the raw intensity of Integrity 2000—listen now and judge the epic metalcore clash and its controversial finale yourself!
