| 1 |  | Lights Out Asia
Eyes Like Brontide
Not a second wasted, atmospheric without the hey post-rock has to be boring formula...vocals are absolutely astounding |
| 2 |  | In Mourning
Shrouded Divine
Start to finish, amazing...you ever eat some rock candy? Yup... |
| 3 |  | The Mars Volta
The Bedlam in Goliath
Goliath is still the best song I've heard this year...I'm starting to feel a miscarriage coming on, it's numbing a stuck clearing in my throat and i just can't lose grip of it...she fume-e-gay-ted my men-tal hygene... |
| 4 |  | Burst
Lazarus Bird
Not always that great, but every once in a while it just hits perfectly...especially if you're feels good |
| 5 |  | The Streets
Everything is Borrowed
Makes you feel warm, cuddly, and happy...return to form for a personal favorite of mine...really is magnificent and more people should check it out yo |
| 6 |  | Ikuinen Kaamos
Closure
Got some closure with the ep, but really i want more...maybe that's why this is so good...The Absence is perfect...perfect...cheese doodles on a tuesday afternoon right after you get home from school... |
| 7 |  | Protest the Hero
Fortress
The album that time forgot...i remember when some respected users (even staff members hmmm) had this as a 5...sure it's not as emotionally good as Kezia but pound for pound balls to the wall ferocity be its name |
| 8 |  | Adebisi Shank
This Is The Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank
How do you say that first word? I dnt know...How do you say fun-tastic instrumental awesomeness? However you say that word...needs more listeners, i cant think of anyone this wouldn't appeal to and that guy with the britney spears name likes it, it must be good... |
| 9 |  | Today I Caught the Plague
Ms. Mary Mallon
Been trying to whore this to all you Protest fans...no they are not that alike, that's why it's so damn good...insanely good ep, Dead Girls Don't Smile is amazing, go to their myspace and listen, if you don't like it post here and i will give you a fist...MIGHTY FIST |
| 10 |  | Braintoy
Vehicles
Who? Well they're that bad...you know with merged tool and porcupine tree influences...the title track might be the best song not written by the mars volta, ikuinen kaamos, or in mourning this year...i'm gunna keep whoring them on lists so you might as well check em out...repeat what you did for 9 if you don't like it...maybe even read the review that got spammed and left in the fold...Prog man prog... |
| 11 |  | One Day As A Lion

Zack De La Roca (sp) and John Theodore (sp) |
| 12 |  | Bloodbath
Unblessing the Purity
Insanity Will Reign Supreme UGH! |
| 13 | | Zimmer's Hole
When You Were Shouting at the Devil...
What is this horse shit? Where is Traced in Air? Where is Some Blood? Why is this joke band ahead of them...SYL sucked...well this is just unadulterated fun...metal fans with a sense of humor should give it a spin...The Heathen gives one of the best vocal performances Ive heard...don't be a homo... |
| 14 |  | Cynic
Traced in Air
Yea |
| 15 |  | PSY/OPSogist
Suffused With Static
Instrumental hip-hop with a Mars Volta sample...deeeeeefelon loves him and it's free...why not give it a listen...just click the name and it'll lead you to the blog...Sure, the Souls Touch EP was better, but thats like saying Jennifer Aniston is sexier naked on my couch than naked on my bed... |
| 16 |  | Jardin de la Croix
Pomeroy
Instrumental spanish math rock...you like Rush? You like Coheed? You like free? Of course you do, so click the name, read the review and cop this joint fer free...Boston Steamer man... |
| 17 |  | United Nations
United Nations
ROAR! |
| 18 |  | Meshuggah
ObZen
Bleed...bleed.blEEd...BLEED... |
| 19 |  | Withered
Folie Circulaire
Vocalist sucks, music is super |
| 20 | | pg.lost
It's Not Me, It's You!
Sure i probably haven't listened to it enough, but it can only go up and is a fitting place to start the good, but not great portion of the list... |
| 21 |  | Opeth
Watershed
a good album |
| 22 |  | All the Empires of the World
...Will Be Laid to Waste
this is really solid...though a little to long and sometimes boring, when it hits it hits with a thunderous clap...instrumental and FREE, get it b/c ul like it |
| 23 |  | Jubala
Jubala
No where near as good as Jomster proclaims it to be, but a stellar listen...think dredg...Welcome to the Fall and On Stage are amazing but the rest is just solid |
| 24 |  | Off Minor
Some Blood
Practice Absence is tits, the rest not-so-much, dnt believe what they tell ya |
| 25 |  | Mirrorthrone
Gangrene
The most brilliant album in the world, this very well could be but it's way too fucking long...like its as long as this................................................... but longer |
| 26 |  | I Am Abomination
Jaw Dropper
PTH without the growls or yells...so pth but kinda meh...the electronics and amazing paino play makes this pretty enjoyable at times, but these guys will have to evolve if they really wanna be good |
| 27 |  | Amon Amarth
Twilight of the Thunder God
Nothing too bad, nothing too good...a fun listen when one wants to pretend they are a viking (yes i know there is a lack of noun agreement but really if you've read this much are you gunna complain?) |
| 28 |  | Equilibrium
Sagas
hey this is pretty cool...5 years later...my God, why won't this just end? Any given song is pretty excellent but yeesh... |
| 29 |  | Thrice
The Alchemy Index Vols. III and IV...
It has its moments, but the potential this band has is never reached...kensrue (dc) is too much of a wanna-be artsy fartsy douch and unlike on most of the first set, he shows it...still there are flashes of the amazing band that could be |
| 30 |  | Cog
Sharing Space
Fuck you Jom...fuck you...nothing helps the 72 hour runtime...this was a terrible waste of time, thats the last time i trust your opinion...i just kept waiting for something, and it just kept going |
