Products similar to X - Def Leppard
3LW - 3LW
Too much pop
Above The Weeping World - Insomnium
Classic Gothenburg sound revisited, with a faithful and creative performance.
Second half of the album runs out of ideas.
Angl - Ihsahn
Classical influences, picks up from where the last album left off.
Small sounds that don't seem like to belong in place, but that's what makes the sound complete.
At The Heart Of Winter - Immortal
More developed and enjoyable sound.
Guitar borrows distinctly from classic heavy metal, sounding a little out of place.
Battles In The North - Immortal
Heavy and relentless, if that's your bag.
Tediously repetitive and lacking in ideas.
Blade Of Triumph - Iron Fire
Some fun heavy metal.
Weak vocals and dull instruments.
The Fourth Legacy - Kamelot
More confident and focused release, boasting great variety.
Inconsistent, and ballads are quite dull.
Tribute To The Gods - Iced Earth
Many rock and metal favourites.
Disappointingly obvious selections, and no attempt to make the sound their own.
Turbo - Judas Priest
Great vocals, impressive guitar work and some effective use of synthesisers.
Too many bland and occasionally annoying pop-rock songs.
Unleashed In The East - Judas Priest
Impressive performance of many early Judas Priest classics.
Original release is lacking in quantity, and some favourites are always going to be missing.
