| Jackal | Vague Visions | 1993 | Rising Sun Productions
ID: 084-62152 |  | Heavy Power Progressive Metal | Strangely, the music sounds like Hard&Heavy, but something inside entrenches this music within Power energy, at the same time it's like early Queensryche, especially by the vocals. Indeed Danish bands always have been unexpected ones with non standard ideas, what could we say about another Danish band? | |
| Jacobs Dream | Jacobs Dream | 2000 | Metal Blade Records |  | Melodic Power Heavy Metal | This nice album is inspeared by Iron Maiden and Queensryche, but the music is stronger than the same of these bands. The music is vocals- and guitars-oriented, so this release is very good. | |
| Jacobs Dream | Theater of War | 2001 | Metal Blade Records
ID: fo68cd | | Power Heavy Progressive Metal | This album demonstrates us a powerful version of Queensryche, the vocals are very similar to Tate. All music is played professionally, with good musician works. | |
| Jacobs Dream | Drama of the Ages | 2005 | Metal Blade Records
ID: fo483cd | | Power Metal | This music belongs to real Power, I mean music that isn't based on the melodic ideas only. This album isn't fast, there is something from US mid-tempo Heavy of 80s on this release. But the negative thing consists in that sometimes this long album is bored. | |
| Jacobs Dream | Dominion of Darkness | 2008 | selfproduction |  | Power Heavy Metal | This not fast but powerful enough album is in the traditions of epical US Heavy/Power Metal of 80s. The vocals are very expressive on this album, the music, solos and just some different parts sound very interesting. | |
| Jag Panzer | The Age of Mastery | 1998 | Century Media Records |  | Power Metal | | |
| Jag Panzer | Thane to the Throne | 2000 | Century Media Records
ID: 77293-2 | | Power Metal | | |
| Jag Panzer | Mechanized Warfare | 2001 | Century Media Records
ID: 8069-2 | | Power Metal | | |
| Jag Panzer | The Era of Kings And Conflict | 2002 | Century Media Records
ID: 77469-7 | | Heavy Power Metal | | |
| Jag Panzer | The Fourth Judgement | 1997 | Century Media Records
ID: 77172-2 | | Power Heavy Metal | It's music that I need. There are no sugar snots or weak music diluted with boring keys and standard riffs. It's powerful version of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest on a new level of musical perception. | |
| Jag Panzer | Casting the Stones | 2004 | Century Media Records
ID: fo415cd | | Power Metal | Mr. Judas Priest never ignored Jag Panzer. No, it doesn't mean this band is
Judas Priest copy, never; just when I listened to this album I heard Judas
Priest elements in more powerful form. This music is hotshot, without any
mawkish trendy sound. | |
| Jelly Jam, The | The Jelly Jam | 2002 | InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 096 |  | Alternative Progressive Metal | | |
| Jelly Jam, The | 2 | 2004 | InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 183 |  | Alternative Rock | It's completely pop music for US, I don't know if admirers of such music exist somewhere else outside US? Only famous musicians created this band with no future and only these musicians nudged the people to buy this band. | |
| Jeremy | Trivial Life | 2003 | Evolution Music
ID: SECD-2672 | | Melodic Progressive Heavy Metal | I don't expect that the Koreans like to play Prog and do it with special elegance. I'm sure every track doesn't sound like other tracks on this album, it's Ayreon, Royal Hunt, Nightwish (by music), Scorpions, etc. but everything's in special new performance, there are no thoughts in my head that this music is secondary, it's very original and truly interesting band. | |
| Jerusalem Slim | Jerusalem Slim | 1992 | Polygram Records | | Funk Hard Heavy Metal | It's simple US AORish Funky music with unmemorable tunes. The guitars are good but it's the only good thing here. | |
| Jester's Funeral | Quicksilverlight | 2000 | Point Music
ID: 20474 | | Power Speed Thrash Metal | It has more Rage elements of 'Black and Mind' times, than those of
Metallica of the beginning of 90s, nevertheless this album is mixture of
these bands. It reveals itself in vocals, guitar riffs, music, etc. But
this band is weaker than Rage or Metallica. | |
| Jester's Funeral | Labyrinth | 1998 | Point Music
ID: 4 018996 102984 | | Power Progressive Metal | This band still sounds like demo/underground band, in general it's good
performed music from early Metallica elements with many useful German
Melodic Power things. Also this band likes to use Prog elements that
varies the sound on this album very well. | |
| Jewel | La Morta! | 1988 | Rusty Cage Records
ID: RCR-0003 |  | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | How many jewels our time still holds in the past! It's an endless process to reopen the treasures of 80s music. This band just presents us excellent Metal of 80s with outstanding songs and guitar works. | |
| Jezabel | Legiones del Sur | 2003 | Cruz del sur Music
ID: cruz03 | | Melodic Speed Power Metal | It's music in standard of Italian Melodic Speed&Power, but Italians
seldom sing in Italian language, but the bands from Spain like to do it on
the native language. It's the only difference between this band and many
Italian bands. | |
| Johansson | The Last Viking | 1999 | Heptagon Records
ID: PR 0004 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | This outstanding album has Rainbow / Deep Purple and early Malmsteen roots. The music just catches my mind from the very beginning. Johansson brothers proved themselves very good on this album giving us the real masterpiece! | |
| Johansson | Sonic Winter / The Johansson Brothers | 2000 | Heptagon Records
ID: NEMS 200 | | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | First album, 80. The half of the tracks is classic Hard&Heavy or Jazz Funk Rock with the vocals, sometimes in Rainbow style. But the other part is the instrumental tracks with outstanding musicians work.
Second album, 50. This album is like Sonic Winter, but it's without instrumental tracks with superb keys solos. It's just classic Hard Rock/Hard&Heavy with dominating drums and keys. | |
| Johansson, Anders - Johansson, Jens - Holdsworth, Allan | Heavy Machinery | 1997 | Shrapnel Records
ID: SH 11072 | | Metal | | |
| Johnson, Eric | Seven Worlds | 1979 | | | Rock Hard Rock | It's a mixture of mainstream Rock, The Beatles elements, Jazz / Blues Rock, etc. I found there nothing interesting or original, it's just another one Hard Rock guitarist. | |
| Johnson, Eric | Ah Via Musicom | 1990 | | | Pop Blues Jazz Rock | Unfortunately, this album isn't completely instrumental. A half of an album is instrumental: Jazz Rock and Blues in the style of the classic guitarists. A part with the vocals changes to Pop mainstream, something in style of Dire Straits. | |
| Jonas Hansson Band | Second to None | 1996 | Hex Records
ID: cdm 0203-1307 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | This album doesn't disillusion you again, it's a great melodic work in Rainbow style with perfect music ideas and simple, but very memorable tunes. | |
| Jonas Hansson Band | The Rocks | 1999 | Hex Records
ID: cdm 0203-1308 | | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | No, he isn't Hansen, Blackmore or Malmsteen, though probably the last one is closer to this guitarist. Music is very melodic and not ordinary, though it's simple and not very technical (as compared with the very Malmsteen). Oh, I think he is very close to Roland Grapow in musical sense! | |
| Jorn | Starfire | 2000 | Frontiers Records
ID: cdm 0901-720 | | Metal | | |
| Jorn | Worldchanger | 2001 | Frontiers Records
ID: cdm 1001-727 | | Metal | | |
| Jorn | Out to Every Nation | 2004 | AFM Records
ID: cdm 0704-1934/d | | AOR Hard Heavy Progressive Metal | An album is complex - it's good. Unlike previous albums this release doesn't use 'completely copied' parts of other bands, though music isn't original (Coverdale and Dio), just the nice riffs or vocal parts appear while music sounds. | |
| Jorn | Unlocking the Past | 2007 | Frontiers Records
ID: irond cd 07-dd459 | | Hard Heavy Metal | At last Jorn releases a complete album with the cover-versions. It's a collection of his favorite musicians in Jorn's performance. | |
