Sfogli of James LaBrie's own "solo" band, Argento takes a significant jazz fusion approach to the near-prog-metal throughout this recording, but demonstrates that he knows when minimalism is best. While this obviously won't be of any interest to those who despise jazzy jams, there's a commendable range of styles on display which are all easily discerned through the titles, with a few songs bordering on Dream Theater-style progressive metal (the more violent sounding 'Brainsick,' 'Metal Detector' and 'Time Warn...more |

Soothing atmospheric "dark" electro with great vocals. 
Dull and repetitive, with obvious contrast between the club hits and ambience. Interesting poetic, soft prog metal in the style of Green Carnation. Dull and lacking in stand-out moments. Easy listerning - Relax mode - Good recording Sax solo a bit shorter - I like more ! Great example of Melodic Death Metal Not enough experimental for hardcore fans of the band Interesting mixture of stuff going on, great bass and good simple guitar riffs A bit cheesy Innovative and highly imaginative early prog classic. Descends into a shambles at points.Secret Christmas History - Autopsia
You might find it upsetting. It's dull.
Spiders Lullabye - King Diamond
Melodic take on the band's sound is successful. Lacks the energy and fun of previous releases.
People's Spring - Warsaw Village Band
Old roots music Not as good as the 3rd album
Bleed - Angel Dust
Powerful vocals, high production values and an enjoyable mood. Rooted in the past with few distinguishing features.
A New Religion - Athena
Reasonable ska punk with a highly commercial approach that's mostly successful. Inconsistent and stylistically confused.
10 Jahre Fritz - Die CD
Beatsteaks having fun, and the crowd seems to like it. If someone recommended this to you as a punk album, you should smash their face in.
Reflections Of The... - Goatlord
Dingy atmosphere. So boring.
