5.0 classic
Dropkick Murphys Blackout
I really should just write a review for this one, but NEDM did such a good job and covered just about everything.
Check journal for an unofficial review for this outstanding album.
Opeth Blackwater Park
I went into this album with a very mild knowledge of Death Metal (although Opeth can hardly be classified as Death Metal). Anyway, this album absolutely kicked my ass. From the opener 'Leper Affinity' right straight through to the closing self-titled track 'Blackwater Park' I was stunned. The atmosphere this album creates is immense. Everything has it's part in creating a surrounding that you can't help but enjoy, even if you tryed to turn your head. The distorted guitar chords, driving melodic leads, and acoustic technicality is all just too appealing to a guitarist such as myself. The progressive drumming screams at you to pay attention with it's odd time signatures; and I even took a liking to the rough vocals, which years ago turned me right off. All in all, one of my all time favourite albums by now one of my favourite bands. Thank you sputnik.com for this one!

4.5 superb
Against Me! Reinventing Axl Rose
Against Me! As the Eternal Cowboy
Agalloch The Mantle
The term Doom/Folk Metal (as it was described to me at first) turned me a bit off; not the Folk, nor the Metal, but the Doom... Never hearing much that i enjoyed from the Doom genre, I was definetely sceptical about diving into anything by this artist. But the truth is, Agalloch is so much more than Doom, Folk, and Metal combined. Atmosphere is an incredibly important factor in music, and Agalloch pin it perfectly. Mainly acoustically driven (my type of style) with obvious folk influences drew me in and kept me seated the whole way through. Though the majority of this album is instrumental, most of the vocals that do appear are roughly growled, or somewhat spoken/whispered. Most lyrics being very dark, combined with the way that they are expressed only add to the beautiful mood and surrounding of the album. Amazing music, highly recommended to anyone and everyone.
Agalloch Pale Folklore
Avenged Sevenfold Waking the Fallen
This album is very close to a classic for me. I think I just happened to listen to this at the right time in my life for it to take me upon it's wing and show me a whole other side of music that I had never discovered before. Some of the great lyrical imagery with a bit of melody and some great leads and solo's combined with the slough of distortion and pounding drums, this album blew me away. Midly catchy, straight forward Metal - it's just what I enjoy.

I remember stealing this on cassette tape from my brother's room almost every day back in about 1995. It was probably the first breath of music I actually truly enjoyed; In that sense, it is a true classic. But as I listen to it now, there are some fairly unmemorable songs - but then there are songs like Welcome to the Jungle, Nightrain, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine - songs that I'm sure will forever be engrained in my mind.
