5. «The Alchemist»
6. «Isle Of Avalon»
7. «Starblind»
8. «The Talisman»
9. «The Man Who Would Be King»
10. «When The Wild Wind Blows»

Not a bad album, in my opinion, it's easier to listen to than the two previous ones.

Scorpions - Sting In The Tail

1. «Raised On Rock»
2. «Sting In The Tail»
3. «Slave Me»
4. «The Good Die Young»

8. «Turn You On»
9. «Let’s Rock»
10. «SLY»
11. «Spirit Of Rock»
12. «The Best Is Yet To Come»

I liked this album; I didn't expect such energetic hard rock from such veterans, and you wouldn't guess they're already over 60 just by listening to their vocals. Win.

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare

1. «Nightmare»
2. «Welcome to the Family»
3. «Danger Line»
4. «Buried Alive»

6. «So Far Away»
7. «God Hates Us»
8. «Victim»
9. «Tonight the World Dies»
10. «Fiction»
11. «Save Me»

I found out that Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater played drums on this album, so I decided to listen. It's some kind of mix of heavy, thrash, and metalcore; I can't quite pinpoint the genre, but overall, I liked the album. Also, Portnoy continued to play drums in this band after leaving DT.

Stone Sour - Audio Secrecy

1. "Audio Secrecy"
2. "Mission Statement"
3. "Digital (Did You Tell)"
4. "Say You'll Haunt Me"
5. "Dying"
6. "Let's Be Honest"
7. "Unfinished"
8. "Hesitate"
9. "Nylon 6/6"
10. "Miracles"
11. "Pieces"
12. "The Bitter End"
13. "Imperfect"
14. "Threadbare"

I was really looking forward to this album. There are some good songs, but overall, unfortunately, it's a bit boring. And there are too many ballads. It could have been better.

Disturbed - Asylum

1. "Remnants"
2. "Asylum"
3. "The Infection"
4. "Warrior"
5. "Another Way to Die"
6. "Never Again"
7. "The Animal"
8. "Crucified"
9. "Serpentine"
10. "My Child"
11. "Sacrifice"
12. "Innocence"

It's listenable, but it seems like blatant self-plagiarism. In my opinion, they haven't changed anything in their music for at least the last three albums.

Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns

1. «The Requiem»
2. «The Radiance»
3. «Burning In The Skies»
4. «Empty Spaces»
5. «When They Come For Me»
6. «Robot Boy»
7. «Jornada Del Muerto»
8. «Waiting For The End»
9. «Blackout»
10. «Wretches And Kings»
11. «Wisdom, Justice & Love»
12. «Iridescent»
13. «Fallout»
14. «The Catalyst»
15. «The Messenger»

Everything is the opposite. Another sharp change in style. A concept album about war and nuclear apocalypse. The music has become more electronic and quite light. Fans of the first two albums might not even want to download this one. Those who listen exclusively to rock and metal should also pass. I like it now, although at first, it caused a strongly negative reaction.
P.S. The cover is cool
