Rock Hard (de)(9/10)[2]

Apocalyptica is the self-titled fifth studio album by Apocalyptica. According to Paavo Lötjönen, the reason the album is self-titled is because the group felt this album represents them. Most of the album is Instrumental, other than the guest vocalists. "Deathzone" ends at 4:34; after that, there is 2:06 of silence, and at 6:40, there is a hidden track within Deathzone, which is "En Vie" - 3:27. "Life Burns!", was featured on the soundtrack of the video game Burnout Revenge. "Ruska" is Finnish for colors of fall.


Reception

In 2005, Apocalyptica was ranked number 483 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[3]
