Dün - Eros reviewed by SaltyJon

My first Zeuhl album, and a very good one. Probably one of the best entry points into the genre.

Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us reviewed by PowerWyrm

A disappointment. Still a good album, but...

Since the last two albums, Paradise Lost left the catchy and almost poppish hits for a return to the dark/doom of their beginnings. Back to the roots... just like many other bands ...

Capability Brown - Voice reviewed by Aragorn224

Fantastic!!!

Muse - The Resistance reviewed by Aragorn224

Meh. Just meh.

Gong - 2032 reviewed by Aragorn224

Recommended.

Dream Theater - Octavarium reviewed by Aragorn224

Technical, metal POP!

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick reviewed by Aragorn224

A classic, right?

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti reviewed by Aragorn224

Really good album!

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II reviewed by Aragorn224

Still a bit young and poppy, but Led Zeppelin does it well!

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III reviewed by Aragorn224

This is where things started to prog up a bit. A must buy!

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin reviewed by Aragorn224

A classic, but not a prog classic.

Gnidrolog - Lady Lake reviewed by Aragorn224

Great album! Recommended for fans of Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull, and Genesis.

Ilai Ashdot - Clockwater Summer Days reviewed by Aragorn224

I simply cannot comment.

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV reviewed by Aragorn224

A masterpiece! One of the greatest and most important of them all! Perfect, in my opinion, and again, A MUST BUY!

Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever reviewed by J-Man

Awesome album filled with great epics! Highly recommended for modern symphonic prog fans!

Transatlantic - SMPTe reviewed by J-Man

Great album, but I recommend you get their other albums first.

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal reviewed by Time_Signature

A very cool cover version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", while the other two songs are boring and uninspiring to me - but hats off for the band having two totally non-commercial alternative tunes on a single.

Eddie Henderson - Anthology Vol.2 (The Capricorn Years) reviewed by Logan

This is a wonderful remastered compilation of Dr. Eddie Henderson's first two albums, Realization (1973) and Inside Out (1974). Realization is, in particular, a masterpiece. This is an essential Mwandishi trilogy (see Herbie Hancock) related ...

The Flower Kings - The Sum of No Evil reviewed by J-Man

Quite possibly my favorite Flower Kings album! Every song is great, and this is one of my favorite albums ever!

Transatlantic - The Whirlwind reviewed by J-Man

Album of the year 2009!

Guernica - Kaizoh E No Yakudoh reviewed by DamoXt7942

Hard to be categorized - as I say by one phrase.

I've wondered how the Japanese music scene itself should diagnose GUERNICA, and simultaneously been very happy to come across them. In those days, ...

Anvil - Metal on Metal reviewed by Time_Signature

Much better than their debut, "Metal on Metal" is a heavy metal classic that lives up to its name. Lips' voice is totally sick and the songs both harder and heavier than on "Hard and Heavy" - almost thrashy in places. The silly cock rock ...

Anvil - Hard 'n' Heavy reviewed by Time_Signature

Not a bad rock album, but it did not stand the test of time (still, there are a lot of very cool elements on the album which are almost ahead of their time).

Anvil - This Is Thirteen reviewed by Time_Signature

A hard rocking in-yer-face classic metal album with nods towards Sabbath, Purple, AC/DC and a lot of other hard rock heroes, but still unmistakably an original Anvil effort.

The Storm - Black Luck reviewed by Time_Signature

Holy cow! I really like this one. It's not terribly progressive, but. man, it's heavy. Much heavier than I'd expect. Still, it's melodic and the female vocals work really well. I think anyone who likes melancholic alternative rock and ...

Shadow Gallery - Shadow Gallery reviewed by J-Man

A solid debut from Shadow Gallery, but the production is terrible, and they are capable of MUCH more.

Katra Turana - Katra Turana reviewed by DamoXt7942

An amazing jack-in-the-box from Japan.

KATRA TURANA, one of avantgarde rock outfits in Japan in the 1980s, is known neither all around the world nor only in Japan. As we Japanese know, in those ...

Totsuzen Danball - Can I? (Naritatsukana?) reviewed by DamoXt7942

Absolutely minimal change of rock music by TOTSUZEN DANBALL (TOTSUDAN familiarly I call them).

Suddenly, yes suddenly fascinated by loose and lazy voices and a percussive guitar. The lyrics I cannot ...

Yura Yura Teikoku - 3x3x3 reviewed by DamoXt7942

As I put my impression into a phrase, they are exactly "very warm rock gang tinged with a bit of psychedelic flavour and a spice of grunge taste, less progressive colour and no flattery".

Well you ...

Empire (Peter Banks) - Mark I reviewed by rushfan4

Peter Banks' band following Yes and Flash. At times sounds very much like Yes and Flash. Bluesy female vocals add a nice touch.
