And I finally went out and bought a load of albums I wanted. And every single album is great in its own way.

The Fall of Troy - Doppeganger
Millionaire - Paradisiac
Cave In - Perfect Pitch Black
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position


The Fall of Troy's album is great. I'd heard a lot about them before and been told that because I'm a Mars Volta/ATDI/Blood Brothers fan I'd like them. But TFOT are different they are a little bit screamy like BB but the music is a bit...I dont know different. Ive only listened to it once through (like all the albums) but its definitely going to become one of my fav albums.

Oceansize's new album....well they haven't progressed much in my opinion from their first album. But it's still a great album. 'Heaven Alive' is a great song....but still same old same old from them.

'Paradisiac' by Millionaire is an album Ive been waiting/wanting to get for absolutely aaaaages. It's got it highs and lows this album. There are some great plain rock songs on here but I think the whole album is a bit tainted with all the elctronic sounds. Especially having seen them live WITHOUT the electronics these sounds just ruin the songs slightly for me. But overall a prety good album.

Finally 'Perfect Pitch Black' by Cave In. This is just a CD compiling rare songs and B-sides that haven't been included on their last couple of albums (I think). Im just listening to it now and most of the songs included on this CD shows the heavier/darker side of Cave In unlike their slightly more mainstream sound on 'Antenna'. It takes me back to 'Until Your Heart Stops' screaming from bassist Caleb and huge sounding riffs. Although this CD (yet) has shown me the more experimental side of Cave In like from the days of the album 'Jupiter' for example...but we'll see.

No, you're silly. Doppelanger is 1 of the best albums i have recieved in a long time. They are just so unique and different from most of these, i dare say "screamo/experimental" band. With influences from hardcore to math rock, i think theyve captured their sound perfect and im awaiting a new album by them.

^I thought it was pretty average, and overall disappointing in comparison to their s/t. They have the talent but they decided to put in remixes of 5 old songs, which are sort of flops.

I've heard some songs off that Millionaire album.. and they remind me of Brainiac.

Anyone who hasn't listened to the self-titled will think that Doppleganger is awesome. Maybe they just shouldn't hear it so they can be happy with a sub-par effort from an awesome band :)

Everyone Into Position is a brilliant album, one of the best of 05.

Was it Ghostship Part Four? Because that's pretty much the best song they have.

I think the Ghostships are kind of lame. And Rockstar Nailbomb is the best song ever.

What does Rockstar Nailbomb have that Ghostship Pt. 4 doesn't? Insane guitar melodies, screaming vocals, clean vocals, catchiness... it's all good.

Paradisiac hasn't been out for aaaaaaages, so you havn't been wanting it for that long.

Your Mum has a terrible period.

I didnt know they had another album (The Fall of Troy that is). I will have to get it if its beter than Doppelanger.

And Tangy Millionaire's album has been out for quite some time. It was out in the summer if I remember rightly

I acutally think that some of the remixes on Doppelganger are better than the S/T originals. They both are excellent albums.

You're crazy! FCPREMIX is an abomination. What, did the bass player get tired of playing something interesting?

Nah, I'm talking about the Doppel version of I Just Got The Symphony Goin. Its far superior.
