DragonForce Inhuman Rampage
Ridiculous lyrics and long/repetitive song structure- these things are nothing new for DragonForce. However, Inhuman Rampage is faster, more varied instrumentally, more exciting, and overall their best album. The addition of the aggressive-style back-up vocals makes a difference as well, and even the ballad is actually bearable this time around. I'm not sure what people are expecting listening to this. It's not meant to change your life, break boundaries, or be relatable.. it's supposed to be fast, over the top, and sound like the soundtrack to fighting a war against demons, riding through the sky on a dragon, and shooting flames and lightnin

Streetlight Manifesto The Hands That Thieve
My god, they've done it again. Totally lived up to the years of hype. This may unfortunately be their last album.. but man, this is how you go out. If I for whatever reason needed validation after all these years why this band has been my favorite since high school, then this sure does the job. Three albums in a row earning a 5.0 score cements this band's discography as unparalleled in my eyes, especially in the genre. There's so much I could say, but why bother. Simply put: they're still the best.

Paramore Paramore
Paramore throws a curveball and releases an experimental 17 track album with the new line-up to a very mixed reaction. Containing pop songs, pop-punk songs, ukulele interludes, and tracks that sound like anywhere from No Doubt to Best Coast. While it works sometimes, the misses tend to outweigh the hits here. There are times where I do enjoy this, with highlights "Ain't It Fun", "Fast in My Car", "Anklebiters", and "Part II". Even "Still Into You" isn't bad and neither are the interludes. However, just about every other song is pretty forgettable and tends to drag on, especially the last 5 tracks. This isn't a bad album. It's just average.
