To-Mera
Album review by Trey on 2009-11-17

The band continues their musical deterioration.
My Dying Bride
Album review by Trey on 2009-11-13

The only positive thing about this EP is that it only has four songs.
Flyleaf
Album review by Trey on 2009-11-09

The band make some adjustments to their alt. metal sound - some work and some don't.
Katatonia
Album review by Trey on 2009-10-30

Katatonia finally start to deliver on the potential they've displayed for their whole career.
Within Temptation
Album review by Trey on 2009-10-28

Acoustic versions of these songs are actually more effective than the originals.
Sigur Ros
Album review by Frenchy on 2009-10-22

ambient bliss delivered by Iceland's finest.
Kill Hannah
Album review by Trey on 2009-10-20

Kill Hannah opts for a grittier approach to their synth-laden brand of alt. rock that ultimately fails to live up to the potential shown on previous albums.
Hatebreed
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-29

Hatebreed update their sound with a bit more metal and a willingness to experiment a little.
Paramore
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-09-21

A slightly safe album from one of the most popular bands out there right now, but it's still great.
Paradise Lost
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-21

This album is the first one in well over a decade that won’t have new fans scratching their heads wondering why this band is known as one of the forefathers of doom
Thrice
Album review by on 2009-09-16

As you lie in bed does the thought haunt your head that you’re really, rather small? If there’s one thing I know in this life we are beggars all.
Sarah Fimm
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-16

Sarah Fimm returns with an album that most fans probably didn’t see coming.
Megadeth
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-10

No one is going to be clamoring for “Rust in Peace Part 2” anymore – this is now the album against which all other Megadeth albums will be judged.
Colbie Caillat
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-04

Colbie Caillat returns with a fuller sound, more confidence and an enjoyable album full of upbeat pop.
Guilt Machine
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2009-09-02

Arjen Lucassen's newest musical venture takes a dip into the feelings of guilt with a haunting, yet beautiful approach that truly provides a new view for the Ayreon mastermind.
Chuck Ragan
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-09-01

A refined and improved sophomore album from Hot Water Music's frontman.
Leaves' Eyes
Album review by Trey on 2009-09-01

The band has returned with a tasteful, epic and melodic gothic rock album that cements their place near the top of the genre.
The Used
Album review by Trey on 2009-08-25

The Used make some adjustments in their sound and end up with an album that will require a few listens to really sink in.
16Volt
Album review by Trey on 2009-08-20

16Volt return with the most consistent and diverse album of their career. Crushing industrial delivered in a post punk wrapper.
Informatik
Album review by Trey on 2009-08-14

While the band’s self-appointed “electronic arena rock” title might be a little misleading, the actual music is still a solid conglomeration of EBM and pop fundamentals.
Oddzar
Album review by Trey on 2009-08-10

Conventional mainstream metal that tries to be something different, but weak choruses and mediocre riffs never allow this to happen.
Insomnium
Album review by Trey on 2009-08-07

Insomnium are back with more of the same. Same melodies, same riffs - no surprises.
Czar (USA-IL)
Album review by Trey on 2009-07-30

Post-metal and industrial combined with some twitchy rhythms.
Reflux
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2009-07-29

An ode to the evolution of human music.
Divine Heresy
Album review by Trey on 2009-07-28

Stronger songwriting is ultimately let down by too much repetition.
Portugal. The Man
Album review by Channing Freeman on 2009-07-20

Portugal. The Man have made their best album since their debut.
