Twin Peaks - Angelo Badalamenti - Soundtrack
Badalamenti and Cruise work beautifully together.
Themes become repetitive as they follow a limited number of predefined paths.
The Metal Opera - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Classic power metal inspired by an epic theme.
Nothing too out of the ordinary or particularly grandiose in this first part.
The Album - Ultrabeat
pretty green eyes
none really
Spreading The Disease - Anthrax
Great vocals and guitars, when used effectively.
Over-repetitive and lacking in intensity.

The first disc is amazing
A bit more hit and miss on disc 2
Piece Of Time - Atheist
Innovative, jazzy 80s death metal.
Rather short.
Octavarium - Dream Theater
The song 'Octavarium' is brilliant
Again, may bore some people
Cult - Apocalyptica
Talented and dynamic cello metal.
You do tend to wish there was a real guitar in there somewhere.
Black Earth - Arch Enemy
The logical and loyal successor to Carcass.
Structurally flawed.
Aspera Hiems Symfonia - Arcturus
The continuing evolution of (melodic/symphonic/progressive/whatever) black metal.
Deviates from the band's roots and tends to lose the atmosphere.
