Эти парни из Португалии радуют нас иногда интересными, а иногда очень интересными релизами. "Memorial" я отнёс бы в раздел "очень интересные альбомы", но у него, к сожалению есть несколько минусов - приблэкованное звучание (очень долго сомневался, плюс это или минус), чего не было на предыдущих релизах и песня "Once it was Ours!". Но плюсы альбома легко загораживают его минусы. Плюсы "Memorial" - вокал Фернандо Рибейра (сочный, мощный, чёткий гроулинг - "на зависть" многим дэтстерам, чистый вокал, хорошо проявляющий себя на "Luna" и шёпот, самый обыкновенный шёпот), также красивый вокал Бриджит Захер. Что касается инструментальной части, то слушателю были предложены весьма интересные композиции "In Memoriam", "Sons of Earth" и другие. Приятно было услышать запоминающиеся мелодии. Лично мне больше всего нравятся "Finisterra", "Memento Mori" и "Sanguine".

Следующим релизом стал DVD "Alive", куда вошли записи выступлений коллектива в 2008-2009 годов во время турне по США, Канаде и Японии. Традиционно, в релиз был включён и аудио-диск. Тем временем работа над новым творением продолжалась.

Прослушав данный опус к пятой-шестой песне начинаешь понимать - наконец-то я услышал то, что хотел. Гитарные риффы и соло, мощный бас, чёткие ударные. К седьмому треку создаётся ощущение, что ты попал в радиопостановку о дебрях тевтонских зарослей с местными героями, артефактами и симфоническим оркестром. Десятый по счёту трек, как ни странно, является неплохой песней. Прослушав диск до конца, встречаются ещё такие чередования (сказка-песня). И, наконец, прослушав последнюю вещь про смерть за металл понимаешь, что ничего нового, изобретательного и прогрессивного группа не придумала. Но, может это и к лучшему? Не споря о вкусах, ваш покорный слуга, приверженец классического Heavy Metal, остался довольным качеством, формой и содержанием всех 5-6 ПЕСЕН. Остальные треки - отличный материал для постановки спекталей исторического характера!

Overexposed is the fourth studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on June 20, 2012, by A&M Octone Records. The album was recorded between 2011 and 2012 and was driven after the moderate success of their third album, Hands All Over (2010), and later by the enormous success of the re-released edition, which was promoted by the single "Moves Like Jagger", recorded as a collaboration with Christina Aguilera. It is the band's only album not to feature keyboardist, rhythm guitarist and background vocalist Jesse Carmichael, who took a temporary break from performing with the group to focus on his studies and was replaced by musician PJ Morton. The band worked with different producers, such as Max Martin, who serves as the album's executive producer, Ryan Tedder, Shellback and Benny Blanco. The band's guitarist and Levine's usual co-writer James Valentine, only has four credits on the album.

It Won't Be Soon Before Long. is the second studio album by the American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on May 22, 2007. The name was inspired by a phrase the band adopted to keep themselves motivated while on their tour. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling around 430,000 copies in its first week and, as of 2011, approximately 5 million copies worldwide.

Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on November 11, 2000, by Nothing and Interscope Records. A rock opera concept album, it is the final installment of a triptych that also included Antichrist Superstar (1996), and marked a return to the industrial metal style of the band's earlier work, after the glam rock-influenced production of Mechanical Animals (1998). After its release, the band's eponymous vocalist said that the overarching story within the trilogy is presented in reverse chronological order: Holy Wood, therefore, begins the narrative.

Antichrist Superstar is the second studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on October 8, 1996, by Nothing and Interscope Records. It was recorded at Nothing Studios in New Orleans and produced by the band's eponymous vocalist along with Sean Beavan, former Skinny Puppy producer Dave Ogilvie and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. The recording of the album was marred by excessive drug use, which provoked a high level of antagonism between band members. Consequently, it was their last release to feature contributions from founding guitarist Daisy Berkowitz, who was acrimoniously fired partway through recording.

3.0 is the ninth Spanish album and eleventh studio album by American recording artist Marc Anthony. It was released on July 23, 2013. It is his first original salsa album in over a decade. "Vivir Mi Vida," a Spanish cover of the Khaled song "C'est la vie", was released as the first single on April 15, 2013. "Cambio de Piel", was released as the second single on October 8, 2013. The album was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Salsa Album at the 2014 Latin Grammy Awards

The release of the album was accompanied by a same-titled home video release, an EP titled The Holiday Collection, and a box set titled The Royal Box. "Justify My Love" was released as the lead single from the album, with a controversial music video featuring overtly sexual imagery. After being banned by MTV, the video was released on VHS and became the best-selling video single of all time. It also became Madonna's ninth number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The second single, "Rescue Me", had the highest debut on the chart since the Beatles' "Let It Be" (1970) and peaked at number nine.

Something to Remember is a compilation album by American singer Madonna, released by Maverick Records on November 3, 1995. The album was conceived after a highly controversial period in Madonna's career, during which many critics speculated that her career was in decline. The compilation of ballads presented a softer image for the singer and span over a decade, including a reworked version of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as well as three new songs: "You'll See", "One More Chance" and a cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You". The singles "I'll Remember" and "This Used to Be My Playground", were also included, marking the first time these songs were featured on a Madonna album.

Bedtime Stories is the sixth studio album by American singer Madonna. It was released on October 25, 1994, by Maverick and Sire Records. In order to move into a more mainstream sound, Madonna collaborated with Dallas Austin, Babyface, Dave Hall and Nellee Hooper, wanting to soften her image following the critical and commercial backlash she faced after releasing sexually explicit projects in the previous two years, notably the Erotica album, the Sex book and her leading role in the erotic thriller Body of Evidence. This image transformation was preceded by the ballad "I'll Remember" from the soundtrack to the 1994 film With Honors.

American Life is the ninth studio album by American singer Madonna. It was released on April 21, 2003, by Maverick and Warner Bros. Records. The album, produced by the singer and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, features references to many parts of American culture. The album is a concept album, with themes panning the American Dream and materialism. These themes reject the reputation Madonna held in the 1980s, earned by songs such as her 1984 Billboard Hot 100 number-two hit, "Material Girl". American Life is a folktronica and eurotechno album, influenced by acoustic music.
