Asking Alexandria Stand Up and Scream
I don't care what you say. This is the best record of the decade hands down. No question. Come on,
it's Asking Alexandria! Anyway, on a less condescending note, whenever I ponder what 'perfection'
really is, I turn to "Stand Up and Scream". Asking Alexandria's magnum opus, and the best metal
record of the decade, lacks any bad moment or slip up. It begins with the malicious "Alerion", which
transcends into the best song of the decade, the orgasmic ""Final Episode (Let's Change the
Channel". Every song is a highlight. Yes. Every song. I could ramble on about the vocal melodies in
"A Candlelit Dinner with Inamorta", or the monstrous intro to "Nobody Don't Dance No More", the pure
evil of "Hey There Mr. Brooks" or the beauty captivated in less than two minutes in "Hiatus". Need
more? How about the soothing "If You Can't Ride Two Horses at Once... You Should Get Out of the
Circus", or the magic in "A Single Moment of Sincerity"? Everything is perfect here. This is the
best progressive metal album ever made, and is Asking Alexandria's 'tour de force' if you will. No
progressive band will ever top this, and AA will probably never even come close to it again. The
next time somebody asks you how to exemplify 'perfection'; use "Stand Up and Scream" as an example.
It's pure genius.
Bring Me The Horizon There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It
There is only one thing that matters here, and its going to keep all the old nancyboy metal fans
from appreciating this: HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS HEAVY
