In The Nursery
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-19

In The Nursery focus on the mellower parts of their classically inspired music, and add an increased emphasis on the poetry of earlier albums.
The Chicks
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-17

The Dixie Chicks fire back at all the people and events that had made their lives hell for the past few years, resulting in an emotional, yet catchy musical experience.
Anacrusis
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-14

Anacrusis make their defining album. Combining thrash with prog to great effect. Featuring some excellent drumming by Chad Smith.
Daemonarch
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-07

The members of Moonspell get back into the black metal that first fueled their original offerings, and with great results.
Thought Industry
Album review by Trey on 2007-09-05

A challenging, complex slab of prog bringing in everything from thrash to industrial to punk and alternative rock. The album that made Jason Newsted personally make sure they got signed.
Still Remains
Album review by Trey on 2007-08-31

Still Remains almost completely sheds their metalcore stereotypes and tries for a fuller, more mature sound.
Dragonspoon
Album review by Trey on 2007-08-30

Ex-guitarist for Fates Warning tries his hand at industrial with disastrous results.
Lunik
Album review by Trey on 2007-08-18

Lunik shed their trip-hop roots and with it goes their originality.
Fates Warning
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-31

Fates Warning attempt to capitalize on the success of their last album by playing it safe and rehashing old ideas.
Riverside
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-27

A four song EP featuring the track O2 Panic Room from their upcoming album Rapid Eye Movement. A good release to hold you over until the whole album comes out.
Devin Townsend
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-27

Devin's quality takes a slight dip, but this release still stands above a majority of other metal bands out there.
Anacrusis
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-19

Raw thrash metal with very subtle progressive tendencies. The first album from a band that would progress in leaps and bounds over their four-album career.
The Gathering
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-16

The first release with Anneke on vocals. Still more metal than experiemental and catchy as hell.
Amorphis
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-15

The start of Amorphis' long and varied career. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good start and doesn't nearly reflect the quality and thought of most of Amorphis' later work.
Anacrusis
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-14

Anacrusis' final album before they disappeared from the thrash world. Heavy, thrashy, melodic, catchy, dark and moody.
Lunik
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-13

An average live album from an above average band. They trade their electronic influences for acoustic renditions, with a slightly negative effect.
Lunik
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-13

A perfect blend of trip-hop atmosphere and sounds, combined with poppy hooks and the beautiful vocals of Jael.
Stabbing Westward
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-12

Stabbing Westward's definitive album, full of everything that anyone ever liked about any of their other albums... modern rock put through an industrialized mixer.
Stabbing Westward
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-11

Stabbing Westward whole-heartedly embrace radio rock and attempt to fully break into the mainstream market.
Stabbing Westward
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-10

The album that briefly broke them into the mainstream, featuring the singles Shame and What Do I Have To Do?
Stabbing Westward
Album review by Trey on 2007-07-10

Stabbing Westward's first album featuring much more industrial influence than on future albums, but also featuring less of the catchiness that would come about later.
