Haven't Been Around For Awhile
title says it all, list is a bunch of songs/albums/bands that are excellent and that you should like too |
1 | | Dangers Anger
An excellent album with excellent songs by an excellent band. If you get any sort of boner for hardcore, this is a MUST. Listen to "Power Chord Blues," "Half Brother, All Cop," and "We Have More Sense Than Lies" |
2 | | The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating Infinity
Brilliant technicality without ever getting stale. Assuming you've heard this, so play "Sugar Coated Sour" and "43% Burnt" for me. |
3 | | A Wilhelm Scream Career Suicide
Essential shredtastic punk. Listen to "The Horse" and "We Built This City! (On Debts and Booze)" |
4 | | Kerouac Cold and Distant, Not Loving
Unfortunately they broke up, but you can still listen to "Little Mountains We Move" and thank me |
5 | | Daughters Daughters
A glorious breath of fresh air. "The First Supper" and "The Hit" for the RIFFFS |
6 | | SikTh Death of a Dead Day
See 2! "Bland Street Bloom" and "Another Sinking Ship" |
7 | | Deftones Diamond Eyes
This was the biggest grower I've ever had the pleasure of loving. "Prince" is flawless. |
8 | | The Fall of Troy Doppelganger
One of the only Post Hardcore albums I've ever loved. "FCPREMIX" slays for days |
9 | | Streetlight Manifesto Everything Goes Numb
Probably have listened to this at least once a week for the past 3 years. "We Are The Few," "A Moment of Silence/Violence," and "A Better Place, A Better Time" are classics. |
10 | | Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago
"c'mmmmmmmmmon Skinny Love......" |
11 | | Bomb the Music Industry! Goodbye Cool World
This could really be any BtMI! album, but this one has "Side Projects Are Never Successful" |
12 | | Giant Squid The Ichthyologist
Love this so much I didn't even need to look at the title for spelling. "Throwing a Donner Party at Sea" and "Sevengill" are breathtaking |
13 | | The Secret Luce
So underrated. "Fire Isn't Always Meant to Burn" |
14 | | RX Bandits Mandala
This stuck to me since day 1. "It's Only a Parsec..." and "Hope is a Butterfly, No Net Its Captor" |
15 | | Titus Andronicus The Monitor
Another huge grower, also the first indie album I ever really enjoyed front to back. "The Battle of Hampton Roads" obviously |
16 | | The Tallest Man on Earth Shallow Grave
fell in love to this album once. "The Gardner" could be the best folk song |
17 | | System of a Down System of a Down
Before they tried to hard. "War?" and "Mind" |
18 | | Poison the Well The Tropic Rot
Metalcore done perfect. "Antarctica Inside Me" and "Cinema" bleed emotion |
19 | | The State Lottery When the Night Comes
"Coming Alive" will never ever get old |
20 | | Youth Lagoon The Year of Hibernation
Perhaps the most recent album to hit me HARD. "Montana" and "Seventeen" are revelations. |
