Ghost B.C. InfestissumamGhost continue to push their unique yet some what gimmicky retro style of 70s psychedelic rock on their Sophomore outing Infestissumam except this time they focus more on upbeat almost beach boys like melodies and less on Merciful Fate esque riffs. This works great and almost makes the fact that over the top of these happy sounding keyboard/guitar lines Papa Emertus places some truly well done satanic lyrics all the more twisted. Also when they do unleash the riffs and guitar licks it is with epic results such as in the latter of Year Zero and Per Aspera Ad Inferi. Best Songs: Ghuleh/Zombie Queen, Year Zero, Monstrance Clock. 4.0 06.11.13 Blind Guardian Imaginations from the Other SideOn Imaginations from the Other Side, Blind Guardian make my all time favorite Power Metal album that relies just as much on speed and thrashy riffs as it does on epic vocal arrangements and power metal like melodies. It is because of this unique blend of speed and melody that Imaginations works so well and succeeds in my eyes were so many other power metal albums fail. It still possesses a bite on songs like I'm Alive, Born In a Morning Hall, and Another Holy War that I think all metal albums should possess and which most power metal albums lack and seem like fluff to me. Also this album revolutionized power Metal along with Iced Earths Bu 4.5 06.07.13 Agents of Oblivion Agents of Oblivion4.5 05.25.13 Falling in Reverse The Drug In Me Is You1.0 05.19.13 The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating InfinityOn their debut The Dillinger Escape Plan release something truly savage, off the wall, and way ahead of their time. While on recent albums Dillinger gets somewhat bogged down by trying to balance a contrasting more commercial side with their math core roots, calculating is all mother fuckin chaos for 35 glorious minutes. Every song while unique in its own way all work together to make one of the most cohesive albums I've ever heard. Really this album is ,ore of a statement then anything else, "Hi! We are crazy and if you ain't down...fuck off!" Best songs:43% Burnt, Under the Running Board, and 4th Grade Dropout. 4.5 05.18.13 Opeth My Arms, Your HearseOpeth didn't really click for me until I listened to this album which is an amazing journey to say the least. On My Arms, Your Hearse Opeth narrow down the very much long winded progressive death metal sound they had on Morningrise simultaneously trimming the fat and adding a heavy dose of extra brutal. This makes the album as a whole much darker and the acoustic and cleanly sung portions of this album all around more powerful and epic (see When). The concept behind this album is really well done too and adds an extra dimension to your listening experience. Thanks to My Arms I will definitely pursue listening to the rest of the bands disc 4.5 05.14.13 Adele 213.5 05.14.13
