About Aria without Kipelov. I'd rate the albums Armageddon and Baptism by Fire as 7.5 and 8.5 respectively. These albums were recorded with Arthur Berkut's voice. All the songs are written specifically for his strong, harsh voice. I'd give Armageddon an 8.5, but only because of "Svet byloy lyubvi"; otherwise, it would be a 10. In my opinion, Berkut shouldn't be given lyrical songs to sing.
Oh yes. For the same reason, I lowered the rating for Baptism by Fire because "Tam vysoko" and "Patriot" didn't appeal to me. It seems harmonious, but I don't know... Something about it bothered me.
Well, it's a matter of taste. In my opinion, "Svet byloy lyubvi" and "Tam vysoko" are quite listenable; you're being too harsh about Berkut. He sings the old songs poorly, but he sings his own songs at a decent level.
P.S., although I also ended up with an 8-8.5, but don't touch the lyrics:p

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
