| Rising Force | Attack!! | 2002 | Sony Music Entertainment |  | Heavy Metal | The sound of this album is not so dim and illegible like that of pevious
one. To my surprise Doogie White sang very well, sometimes he sang even
aggressively. But there are no memorable tunes. Though everyone may
respect Malmsteen for the fact of his existence, it would be good to hear
on his albums something more sensible. |
| Rising Force | Unleash the Fury | 2005 | Universal Music
ID: UICE-1078 |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | My thoughts about this release are united: Malmsteen didn't make such
music
about 20 years! Though of course many tracks are very very similar to
other Malmsteen's tracks from previous life, but this album is just
semi-instrumental, do you remember when he could play many splendid fast
instrumentals at once? Only in the beginning of his career. Anyway, I'm
very pleased, that Malmsteen presents me this music, because his early
works are the best for me. |
| Rising Force | Perpetual Flame | 2008 | selfproduction |  | Melodic Heavy Metal | Malmsteen, Malmsteen, what do I have to say again? This
album hasn't quite bowled me over, at least from the first time. It's
still the same... |
| Rising Force | Spellbound | 2012 | Rising Force Records
ID: UICN-9008 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | Even so instrumental Malmsteen is better than his projects with the vocals almost on every songs. So it's very good technical work with many interesting moments. |
| Rising Kingdom | Curse of Mind | 2008 | demo | | Melodic Speed Power Metal | Another Italian Speed&Power Metal band appeared to conquer the world. The first tracks of this demo are ordinary Italian Melodic Speed&Power but the last track is that unique track which can be a basement for all their music in future! |
| Risk | The Daily Horror News | 1988 | Steamhammer
ID: 85-7574 | | Speed Thrash Metal | It's very fast for Heavy, and it's harmonic enough for Thrash. There are
many very good guitar solos on a par with good interesting sound on this
album. |
| Risk | Hell's Animals | 1989 | Steamhammer
ID: TECP-25003 | | Speed Thrash Metal | It's classic music of 80s in Vendetta, Coroner, Annihilator style. It's
not pure Thrash because of harmonic riffs and set of melodic elements. |
| Risk | Dirty Surfaces | 1990 | Steamhammer
ID: SPV 084-76232 | | Speed Power Metal | This album is already close to music of 80s. This music is yet fast but some slow Doomish tracks appeared on this album. The music became harder. |
| Risk | The Reborn | 1992 | Steamhammer
ID: SPV 084-76422 | | Heavy Metal | If you make Speed/Thrash band play mid-tempo music your result would be
this album. I hear a vocal for Thrash/Speed Metal only, the guitar works
which can adorn every old band but everything is on Heavy wave, even with
Doom touches. |
| Risk | Turpitude | 1993 | Steamhammer
ID: SPV 084-76712 | | Heavy Doom Metal | The last existing Risk album doesn't support almost all early band's
traditions, it's close to previous The Reborn album, but probably it is
more slow and Doomish. This release is in the traditions of e.g. Paradise
Lost. |
| Ritual Spirit | Ritual Spirit | 2000 | Shark Records
ID: 2000008 | | Heavy Power Metal | It's a lightened mixture of Megadeth (the rhythm), Annihilator (the guitar
works), Iced Earth, Iron Maiden. The music very often moves over from
Heavy to Power. |
| Ritual Steel | Blitz Invasion | 2004 | Hellion Records
ID: HE 310704 | | Melodic Power Metal | This album sounds in the traditions if German Melodic
Power. You don't find there anything fresh and original but just very
good music. |
| Ritual Steel | Invincible Warriors | 2007 | Killer Metal Records
ID: KMR-LP003 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | This time we have the music in the traditions of German
Melodic Heavy almost without any Power elements. It's still the same
very nice music without anything special. |
| River of Change | Where Reality Cannot Enter | 1999 | B.O. Records
ID: B.O. 017 | | Melodic Speed Power Metal | These jolly Italians... Don't think they are like other sweetish Italian bands. River of Change uses more various keys and these samples are more qualitative than those of other Italians bands. |
| Riverside | Anno Domini High Definition | 2009 | InsideOutMusic
ID: IOMCD 313 | | Progressive Metal | This music is almost Metal though it's already not Rock but it's
Progressive in all things. This music can be closer to Art Rock of
70-80 with modern Metal sound. |
| Riverside | Memories in My Head | 2011 | The Laser's Edge
ID: lc1059 |  | Art Progressive Rock | This EP is so imperceptible, I tried twice to listen to
it and have no remembrance about this work. I think it's very calm Art
Rock without any bright moments. |
| Rock'n'Raw Bottled Band | Na Dne Butylki (At the Bottom of the Bottle) | 2010 | CD-Maximum
ID: cdm 1010-2990 | | Heavy Stoner Metal | No bottles, no Rock'n'Roll are there. It's some modern
stuff with some Heavy and Stoner principle, it's an absolutely fade
music. |
| Rock, Rob | Rage of Creation | 2000 | Massacre Records
ID: MAS CD0263 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | I didn't expect that Rob Rock could make such perfect album! His voice
makes you leave your deeds and listen to the music only. About the music:
it's superb! I'd like to note the brilliant guitar works. Sometimes this album
reminds me of Y&T. |
| Rock, Rob | Eyes of Eternity | 2003 | Massacre Records
ID: amg 109 |  | Melodic Speed Power Heavy Metal | This album is much more faster than previous one. But now this album sounds
like Malmsteen + Helloween + Stratovarius + Gamma Ray + etc. There are
many guest musicians there like it usually is on any solo album. Guitar
works and vocals are perfect. |
| Rock, Rob | Holy Hell | 2005 | AFM Records
ID: cdm 0805-2357 | | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | If somebody ask me who's the best US voice who's got his own solo project,
I recall Rob Rock at first. No, I didn't forget Dio and other more famous
vocalists, but Rock's albums are closer to me. It's a powerful, melodic
and original music with very catching songs. |
| Rock, Rob | Garden of Chaos | 2007 | AFM Records
ID: cdm 1107-2767 | | Melodic Power Heavy Metal | Rob Rock is so recognizable person by the voice
so it seems I already know all these songs from Garden of Chaos very
good. I can recommend a song Millennial Reign from this album where
his nightingale warbles impress specially. |
| Rock, Rob | The Voice of Melodic Metal - Live in Atlanta | 2009 | AFM Records
ID: irond cd 09-dd743 | | Melodic Heavy Power Metal | Our voice of Melodic Metal - Rob Rock - does his
work perfectly alive, there is no real doubt about it. It's just
another very good work of this person performed alive. |
| Rods, The | Let Them Eat Metal | 1984 | CMS Records
ID: HV-1030 | | Heavy Metal | Judas Priest is everywhere, Iron Maiden is also somewhere nearly. The Rods presents almost all Judas Priest ideas including just copied parts from Judas Priest, the rest is a try to make something their own. |
| Rods, The | The Rods | 1981 | Arista Records
ID: HV-1015 | | Blues Hard Rock | It's nice but the standard variations of the bands
from 70s like Rainbow, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, etc. The music and the
guitars are very Blues-oriented (but few Hard&Heavy tracks). |
| Rods, The | Wild Dogs | 1982 | Arista Records
ID: HV-1016 | | Hard Heavy Metal | This work was played in the common traditions of popular
US Hard&Heavy of 80s. It's not bad music without anything original
inside. |
| Rods, The | In the Raw | 1983 | CMS Records
ID: HV-1028 | | Hard Heavy Metal | It's again old Hard&Heavy of the same direction of
evolution: nothing new, just repeat well-tried. So it's a common music
for that time without anything extraordinary. |
| Roko | Roko | 1990 | Polydor
ID: 843 353-2 | | AOR Hard Rock | It would be better to call itself Popo Hardo Roko
because it's a commercial music, pop Hard Rock. Yes, it's in some
traditions of German Melodic Rock but with the soft enough sound. |
| Roko | Open Invitation | 1992 | Polydor
ID: 511 631-2 | | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | Though there are some not bad Hard@Heavy songs on this
release it's still commercial Rock. But at least there are some songs
really memorable and interesting on this album. |
| Roko | Think About Tomorrow | 1994 | selfproduction
ID: XRCN-1218 | | Melodic Hard Heavy Metal | It's not bad album for not the best band of German
Melodic Metal trend. This work is melodic enough, with not bad guitars
and vocals. |
| Roko | Fantasy | 1996 | selfproduction
ID: RK 10496 | | Pop Rock | Look! It's again true Popo Roko, it's a collection of the
slow songs or ballads, almost absolutely without the luscious guitars,
acoustic or weakly sounded like in all pop music. It's good to use in
pop Rock cafe after Sting and before Bryan Adams. |
