Iron Maiden-Senjutsu (my review)

 Here is a new Iron Maiden album. Here is a new metal dimension. 

"Senjutsu" is like an adventurous music story. In every song is a true soul, heart and mind of this band. 

A new shining star deep inside the never ending, eternal heavy metal universe. And that star will never fade. It's a great inspiration. It's full of sensation, emotion, perfection and fascination. Music speaks with melodious and impressive words. I can't find any weak place. 

Oh yes, it's totally impossible. 

Every music instrument shows an incredible meaning. Through all those slow or fast elements and moments. 

I praise Bruce Dickinson for his clear and wonderful singing. I praise Iron Maiden for all music they created.

This music is their heart and soul. And lyrics are their mind, full of excellent, interesting and adventurous stories. Simply perfect album. 

It will always belong to the golden Heavy Metal constellation.

Up the irons!

Forever!

METALLICA-Reload (my review)

 It's an another different album from this band.

But I think it's better than "Load". 

Album contains more interesting songs and ideas. Also lyrics are more impressive with various stories. Yes, some songs could be better but it's still good enough. Here is more power, energy. More impressive ideas than on previous album. "Reload" is a stronger brother of "Load".

Such songs as "Fuel", "The memory remains", "The unforgiven II", "Devil's dance", "Better than you", "Where the wild things are", "Prince charming" are really admirable and praiseworthy.

Yes, Metallica was in its different music time.

But this album offers some great music experience. "Reload" is an unique Metallica's child from this rare period. 

METALLICA-Load (my review)

 

Metallica changed style, music, lyrics and all other ways.

I think they wanted something different. They've done it.

Maybe they've lost some fans but also some new ones came into their fan base. 

The band created more different songs than on "Black album" it was a big transformation from them. I wanna write that those songs aren't bad. They are a little different.

And even if they are, I can choose the best ones from this particular album.

And doesn't matter if you like this album or not.

"Ain't my bitch", "Until it sleeps", "King nothing", "hero of the day", "Bleeding me", "Wasting my hate", "Thorn within" are my favorite songs.

Through it all I can write that when they've changed music, sound and lyrics they were not in thrash metal world.

So "Load" will be, merely, one of the best rock albums of all time.

It's not a pure Metallica, of course.

It's a different view of Metallica. Different sense and meaning.
