5 classic

Abaddon Incarnate Nadir

This is the best deal I have ever gotten on anything. 24 of the most ungodly awesome songs of all time for 10 bucks. It's "blackened deathgrind." How can anyone resist that?? That's just pure raw awesome.

Arghoslent Hornets of the Pogrom

Amazingly well-orchestrated MDM. This album has them with their best vocalist and by far their greatest song: MANACLED FREIGHTAGE!!!

Becoming the Archetype Terminate Damnation

Epic Christian death metal. Love every inch of it, including Elegy.

Death The Sound of Perseverance

STILL my favorite Death album. The solo in A Story to Tell, and the pure awesomeness of Spirit Crusher and Flesh and the Power It Holds...every metal fan needs this.

Discordance Axis The Inalienable Dreamless

Brilliant, beautiful, raging grindcore. Best ever written, in my opinon. Beyond perfection, and one of my all-time favorite albums.

Green Day American Idiot

I know every lyric to every song. This was my first ever album, and I still love it. Call me biased, but I'm sticking by it.

maudlin of the Well Bath

I've listened to this several times, and after trying to pick the best song, I realized that the entire thing is genius.

My Chemical Romance The Black Parade

Excellent excellent pop-punk emo-whatever. I had no idea it would be this amazing, but I find it hard to hear imperfections in this.

Nasum Grind Finale

152 songs of pure badass grindcore. 152 songs. Seriously.

Opeth Blackwater Park

Past all the hate, Opeth are really damn good. This album blew my mind with how far you can stretch the definition of "metal".

Zao The Fear Is What Keeps Us Here

Genius Jesuscore crammed full of hooks. Every time I feel this doesn't deserve a 5, I fall in love with it again.

4.5 superb

Aletheian ...Hope Prevails

Amon Amarth With Oden On Our Side

Anaal Nathrakh Eschaton

Anaal Nathrakh In the Constellation of the Black Widow

This is so much more brutal than Hell Is Empty... but still with enough of Mick's musicality. "Blood Eagles Carved On the Backs of Innocents" rapes my face. Can't really give it a 5 til I listen to the whole thing, but for now this reaches my expectations.

Anberlin Cities

Arghoslent Incorrigible Bigotry

Arsis We Are The Nightmare

As I Lay Dying An Ocean Between Us

As I Lay Dying has always been amazing. They just do it differently every time. An Ocean Between Us is a great one, thrashing all the way through with a slight slow-down with I Never Wanted. Otherwise the album is a metalcore gem. Love it people! Recommended: Nothing Left, An Ocean Between Us, I Never Wanted, Forsaken, This Is Who We Are

August Burns Red Messengers

Becoming the Archetype The Physics Of Fire

Set me on fire! This album is incredible, pounding in your ears every second with blasting guitars and eardrum shredding vocals. New addition Alex Kenis gives out some melody with his clean vocals. I recommend the entire album. Listen to it all, but be warned, Balance of Eternity drags on after a while.

Between The Buried And Me Colors

Brutal and strange and all lumped together until it's really one gigantic song. Sorry downloaders, gotta take the whole thing on this one. A huge, theatrical mess of brutal thrashing and swaying guitars.

Boston Boston

I love this album, for very sentimental reasons, but still.

Carcass Heartwork

Chthonic Seediq Bale

Cynic Traced In Air

Demon Hunter Storm the Gates of Hell

Demon Hunter is my favorite band ever. It brings back all the brutality of their self-titled album (Storm the Gates of Hell, Sixteen) and throws in a pair of gorgeous ballads (Carry Me Down, Thorns). Follow the Wolves and Storm the Gates of Hell!!

Demon Hunter The Triptych

changing a lot of my old 5's to 4.5's because...well they aren't 5's so much anymore, which means they never really were 5's. This is still one of my fave albums, and we can still be friends right?

Despised Icon The Ills of Modern Man

Dir en grey The Marrow of a Bone

beau99 is right, the rest of u will be eaten by agitated maggots, thrown up, then run over by cancer.

Dir en grey Withering To Death

Dir en grey Uroboros

whoa, wtf happened to Dir en grey? they got heavy on us here. Uroboros just has this...thicker feel to it. and apparently Kyo has discovered guttural growls.

Discordance Axis Jouhou

after endlessly listening to this and TID and reviewing this one....i just can't force myself to give this a 5 when TID is so much better. still great.

Drudkh Blood In Our Wells

Eluveitie Spirit

Woot. This is seriously good Celtic metal. Seriously. Every instrument in it's place and every placement perfect. Heavy guitars, harmonic flutes and violins all melded into a savory record. Great, great stuff. Europe is the land of truly classic music, keep headbanging Switzerland!

Enslaved Vertebrae

I bought it on a whim and it's probably the best post-black metal i have ever freaking heard. Listen to New Dawn and tell me i'm wrong.

Frost Like Ashes Tophet

Frost Like Ashes is one of the best blackened death metal bands out there. The songs are all fast and cryptic and heavy. The screams are so high-pitched I can feel my throat ripping. Recommended: Of Spirit and Power, A Cruel Verse, Nightfall's Cold Kiss

Grand Belial's Key Kosherat

Green Day 21st Century Breakdown

Heaven Shall Burn Iconoclast (Part I:The Final Resistance)

Wow. I looked this up because Wikipedia had it listed under "deathcore", which i love. I listened to it on iTunes and was blown away, almost literally, by Endzeit. This is heavy heavy heavy heavy. I recommend the whole thing, but especially Endzeit, Murderer of All Murderers, and Bombs of My Saviours.

I Am Ghost Lovers' Requiem

I don't think I will ever find another album so full of hooks. Lover's Requiem will have you singing along by the third song. Full of great lyrics and catchy beats and male/female vocals (sweet! :D). I recommend this if you like Skillet. Best Songs: Our Friend Lazarus Sleeps, Killer Likes Candy, Dark Carnival of the Immaculate, Pretty People Never Lie Vampires Never Really Die, We Are Always Searching

In Flames Come Clarity

Classic melodic death metal (great genre!). In Flames continues their streak of greatness. Crunching, snapping guitars and shrieking vocals with snippets of melody and clean vocals. Recommend: Take This Life, Leeches, Dead End, Crawl Through Knives

Mastodon Crack the Skye

Opeth Watershed

just not as good as BWP when I really listen close...still, The Lotus Eater is probably my favorite 'Peth song

Opeth Still Life

Panic! At the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

Really this album should be like a 4.8 but there's no rating for that so... This album is catchy, catchy, catchy. Full of great melodies and hooks. What makes it fall short of a 5 is a few slip-up songs like Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks. Recommended is everything but that and Intermission.

Panopticon Collapse

Peste Noire La Sanie des siecles - Panegyrique de la

Strange yet skillful black metal containing solos...restores my faith in the French.

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd The Wall

Silverstein Arrivals and Departures

Slipknot Slipknot

Great record, I still enjoy Slipknot. Eyeless, (sic), and Wait and Bleed ftw.

Slipknot Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)

Slipknot mellows out but still is pretty pissed off. More melodic than their previous efforts, Vol. 3 still kicks major a**. Still brutal enough to satisfy. Recommended: Duality, Three Nil, The Blister Exists, Opium of the People, Pulse of the Maggots, Before I Forget, The Nameless, Vermilion Pt. 2

Slipknot Iowa

Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

A classic and original. Every song is completely different than the last. And every song is great! Recommended: Tonight, Tonight; Bullet With Butterfly Wings, X.Y.U.

System of a Down Toxicity

Taake Hordalands Doedskvad

A more traditional version of Satyricon meets the stunning writing of old-school Ulver. Blew my expectations out the window.

The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal

This is great stuff. Heavy, dark, solid all the way through. I wish Trevor Strnad would screech less and growl more. Just get a better balance of vocals would make it better. Recommended: Everything Went Black, Nocturnal, Deathmask Divine, Climactic Degradation

The Faceless Planetary Duality

Ok, i beg to differ from EVERYBODY by saying this is way better than Akeldama. It's way technical and the vocals remain solid. Idk why i didn't give it a 5.

The Faceless Akeldama

The Used Shallow Believer EP

With Blood Comes Cleansing Horror

I absolutely love this album. The only-ONLY-thing that downgrades it from a 5 is the horrible breakdowns that are monotonous and cookie-cutter. Recommended: EVERYTHING

Wolves in the Throne Room Black Cascade

Zao The Funeral Of God

Zao Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest

4 excellent

Aborted Strychnine.213

AFI Decemberunderground

I really liked this album. Very solid, almost dance-ish. I think this pwns all over Sing the Sorrow at least. Recommended: Miss Murder, Kill Caustic, Summer Shudder, 37mm

Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God

Anaal Nathrakh Hell Is Empty and All the Devils Are Her

i might have found a new favorite band, and i can't even pronounce it. it's kinda deathly black stuff, for me who prefers death. i have no problem with black, just prefer death, so this is a good midpoint. evil.

August Burns Red Constellations

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Jake Luhrs' vocals are a guilty pleasure. Best metalcore I've heard in a long time. INDONESIAAAAAA!!!

Becoming the Archetype Dichotomy

Behemoth Demigod

Behemoth Evangelion

Blood Of The Black Owl Blood of the Black Owl

Cannibal Corpse Evisceration Plague

hey rugter, Corpsegrinder is the new vocalist. The old one is Chris Barnes and he now fronts Six Feet Under. Research, dumbass.

Cannibal Corpse Kill

Carcass Necroticism:Descanting The Insalubrious

Carnifex Dead In My Arms

I'm pleasantly surprised...i actually really like Carnifex. True, their nothing too brand new, but they thrash around like guys possessed and it's heavyyyyyyyy. But if you want the song Slit Wrist Savior get the EP version. It's better.

Chiodos Bone Palace Ballet

Coheed and Cambria Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV...

Cryptopsy None So Vile

Dark Tranquillity Fiction

Dark Tranquillity Character

Demon Hunter Demon Hunter

Disfiguring the Goddess Disfiguring the Goddess (EP)

a little too Suicide Silence-ish to be perfect, but holy f***ing s*** Big Chocolate is officially my f***ing hero.

Eluveitie Slania

GridLink Amber Gray

Hawthorne Heights If Only You Were Lonely

Why the bad reviews from everyone? I think this album is very atmospheric and catchy, I listened to it constantly after I first bought it. Recommended: Saying Sorry, Dead In the Water, Cross Me Off Your List, Where Do I Stab Myself In the Ears

Heaven Shall Burn Deaf to our prayers

Korn Issues

This is the epitome of Korn. Issues, I think, was their most perfect album. The squeaky, beepy noise effects and the whining and shouting vocals, courtesy of Jonathan Davis, make this album amazing. Recommended: Wake Up, Make Me Bad, Trash.

Light This City Facing The Thousand

I don't care what they look like, women who scream are hott. Women who scream like Laura Nichol are even more hott. And when their band is pwnage too, you have every thrash-head in the world drooling on their iPod.

Living Sacrifice Conceived In Fire

Mastodon Blood Mountain

Meshuggah obZen

I love Meshuggah, I can't even say the name without growling it anymore. This album is another one of their psychedelic rhythm expeditions, and a fine one at that. The instruments are great as always, but I must admit that the vocals are EXTREMELY monotonous and get old after a while.

Morbid Angel Altars of Madness

Mortal Treason Sunrise Over A Sea Of Blood

Mumakil Behold The Failure

Norma Jean The Anti Mother

Ok, i bought the CD and listened to it over and over and it's actually pretty good. Really good. Recommended: Birth of the Anti Mother, Robots 3 Humans 0, Murphy Was An Optimist

Novembers Doom Into Night's Requiem Infernal

Brutal/melodic Amorphis fronted by Johan Hegg. Very nice.

On The Last Day Meaning In The Static

Pig Destroyer Phantom Limb

Silverstein Discovering the Waterfront

Slipknot All Hope is Gone

Soulfly Conquer

Awesome...and the artwork kicks arse hardcore xD. screw seventy characters

Stone Sour Come What(ever) May

System of a Down System of a Down

System of a Down Mezmerize

Amazing, pure SOAD. Great riffage and Serj is astounding. The greatest songs are on the album are B.Y.O.B., Question!, Sad Statue, Revenga, and Old School Hollywood. Go, buy, enjoy!

The Decemberists The Crane Wife

I never thought I would like folk music, but this s*** is good!! Done with a million different instruments, but truly well-crafted and catchy. Recommended: The Crane Wife 3, Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then), The Island

The Famine The Raven and The Reaping

The Killers Hot Fuss

The Shins Wincing the Night Away

The Used Lies for the Liars

Tyr By the Light of the Northern Star

Bullet For My Valentine The Poison

Coheed and Cambria Good Apollo...No World For Tomorrow

Converge Petitioning The Empty Sky

Decrepit Birth Diminishing Between Worlds

Demon Hunter Summer Of Darkness

Dimmu Borgir In Sorte Diaboli

This album is definitely one of the best albums to emerge from the minds of the greatest Satanists of our time. Recommended: Serpentine Offering, Sacrilegious Scorn

Gorerotted Only Tools and Corpses

Gorerotted A New Dawn for the Dead

Haste the Day Pressure The Hinges

Killswitch Engage As Daylight Dies

Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight

Lostprophets Liberation Transmission

These guys are in no way metal, but this album is pretty good. Catchy and creative, but slightly cookie-cutter. Recommended: Can't Catch Tomorrow, Everyday Combat, Rooftops

My Chemical Romance Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge

Nine Inch Nails Year Zero

Queens Of The Stone Age Era Vulgaris

Serj Tankian Elect the Dead

Static-X Wisconsin Death Trip

Suicide Silence The Cleansing

i'm not sure what this album does for me that separates it from every other f***ing poser, but for some reason i find it great. Maybe its the breakdown in No Pity for a Coward. YOU COWARD!

System of a Down Steal This Album!

The Agony Scene The Darkest Red

The Breathing Process In Waking: Divinity

Thousand Foot Krutch The Flame In All Of Us

Tool 10,000 Days

Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend

I'm not usually into Indie-rock music, but every so often I find a band who really appeals to me. Vampire Weekend did so. The songs are very catchy and I like the instrumentation, it's very...experimental. I recommend Oxford Comma and A-Punk.

Whitechapel This Is Exile

Hey, it's better than The Somatic Defilement at least. Still not perfect, but it's getting there.

Zao Awake?

3 good

AFI Sing the Sorrow

I gave this only a 3 because I heard Decemberunderground first, which makes this sound worse that it actually is. This is slightly monotonous and overly epic in comparison. Good, but Decemberunderground is better. Recommended: Dancing Through Sunday, Girl's Not Grey, This Celluloid Dream

Atreyu Lead Sails Paper Anchor

Atreyu A Death-Grip On Yesterday

Bullet For My Valentine Scream, Aim, Fire

Coffins Buried Death

Gojira The Way Of All Flesh

Impending Doom Nailed. Dead. Risen

Linkin Park Hybrid Theory

Panic! At the Disco Pretty. Odd.

ShEver Ocean of Illusions

Smashing Pumpkins Zeitgeist

The Decemberists The Hazards Of Love

The Used In Love and Death

why'd I rate this so low? Sound Effects and Overdramatics alone merits it a 3.

Thousand Foot Krutch The Art of Breaking

2.5 average

Aiden Nightmare Anatomy

This album was alright. I love half the songs, the other half sucks. Recommended Tracks: Knife Blood Nightmare, Die Romantic, The Last Sunrise

Arsonists Get All The Girls The Game Of Life

Atreyu Best of Atreyu

In Flames A Sense of Purpose

Korn Untitled

Otep Ascension

The Killers Sam's Town

2 poor

Aiden Conviction

Ugh. Disappointing! I personally thought Nightmare Anatomy was ok...but this is so washed out and bland...There are a few good songs that save this from a lower grade: One Love, Teenage Queen, Son of Lies, Moment. Don't buy, download tracks if you want though.

Linkin Park Meteora

Silverstein A Shipwreck In The Sand

1.5 very poor

Carnifex The Diseased and Poisoned

i'm not even gonna sugarcoat it: this album is absolute CRAP. i used to really like Carnifex with their thrashing neverending brutality, but this is all made up of s***ty breakdowns, that's IT.

1 awful

Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold

Codeseven Dancing Echoes / Dead Sounds

Miley Cyrus Breakout

Nile Ithyphallic

death to nile! this is a horrible waste of 15 bucks. not even worth listening to
