But the fact that they revisit their past work just makes this more enjoyable. I don't really take them seriously as a band, they just make fun, insanely technical music.

The guitar playing is feels more varied than on Epitaph, too, and although the solos aren't quite as good, the riffs and grooves are much better than on Epitaph.Ornette Coleman The Shape of Jazz to ComeParkway Drive Killing with a SmilePorcupine Tree In AbsentiaProtest the Hero FortressQueens of the Stone Age Era VulgarisRadiohead In RainbowsRodrigo y Gabriela Rodrigo y GabrielaSwitchfoot The Beautiful LetdownSwitchfoot Nothing is SoundSystem of a Down HypnotizeTera Melos UntitledThe Beatles Abbey RoadThe Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandThe Black Keys ThickfreaknessThe Black Keys Attack & ReleaseFor a Black Keys album, this is kinda strange. The electronic elements added on this album are a little out of place, especially considering that everything else this band has done is very raw and sparsely produced. The influence Danger Mouse had on this album is a little distracting, IMO. More slow songs than rockers, but this isn't a bad thing. Psychotic Girl is a fantastic song, showcasing their many talents, guitar, banjo, and drums. For anybody else besides The Black Keys, this would be a great album. Heartfelt, moody, atmospheric, grooving, this album has it all. The Rolling Stone, hipster crown will probably eat this up, as well they should. Great music on here, much better than the previous release, Magic Potion.The Fall of Troy The Fall of TroyThe Fall of Troy Ghostship DemosThe Fall of Troy ManipulatorThe Fall of Troy Phantom on the HorizonThe Raconteurs Broken Boy SoldiersThe White Stripes ElephantThe White Stripes De StijlThe White Stripes Icky ThumpUnearth The Oncoming StormUnited Nations United NationsWeezer Weezer3.5 greatA Day To Remember For Those Who Have Heart (Reissue)A Day To Remember HomesickThird of the time, this album is really distracting because the vocalist sounds like he is doing his best impression of Blink 182. Another third of the time, they have really embarrassing moments (the 'ahem' in track 3, beginning of track 1, the really overly macho chants), and the other third is some really cool drums parts (track), original sounding choruses, and "creative" breakdowns. So it's fun to just listen to every once in a while, and laugh at the songwriting goofs, mistakes, and the stuff you were meant to laugh at.All That Remains The Fall of IdealsAs Blood Runs Black AllegianceBang Camaro Bang CamaroBetween the Buried and Me Colors_LiveMost of the complaints I have deal with the cameras. They don't show the drummer nearly enough, even when he's seriously playing his ass off, they don't show the crowd or mosh pits or anything, and when the cameras occasionally go out of focus, it's a real eye sore. You can't hear the crowd during the few shout-alongs, which was kind of disappointing. The snare could have been louder, because you can't hear it during his blast beats. Prequel to the Sequel obviously wasn't the same without Adam Fisher to do the quest part, which brought that part down a little, but they did a good job without him anyway. Beyond a few effects and tone issues I have during solos and the polka break, they really played everything really well. I'm surprised Tommy can keep his voice after screaming like that for 2 hours or so. That, and the second set completely owns. They picked some of the very best songs from their backlog, and I was especially pleased to see Ad a Dglgmut and Backwards Marathon. I really wished they could have put the second set on a CD too. How great would a 3 disk set be from them, amirite?

The guitar leads are really uplifting, and almost sound like something DragonForce would do, but more tasteful. Grave of Opportunity really shows this, and is my favorite song on this CD. My biggest complaint is that some of the bluesy guitar solos sound pretty forced. Other than that, it's a good CD for getting pumped, if nothing else.Wolfmother Wolfmother3.0 goodAfter the Burial RareformAll Shall Perish The Price of ExistenceAvenged Sevenfold Waking the FallenBehold...

This is just really crazy hardcore, there's no metallic edge or anything you'd find on an Unearth/Parkway Drive album. The Chariot remind me of Every Time I Die, if they couldn't control their feedback, or actually scream in anything resembling a tasteful form. The southern rock sound that was popular back when also links them to ETID, but pairs riffing with dissonant chord shrieks. I can almost excuse their non-use of structure, because I liken the progression of the album to someone telling a story; there's no choruses in stories. What this story was trying to tell, I've no idea. The screams are unintelligible, and my concentration was lost sorting through the mashup of guitars. This is actually one of the few albums that's given me a headache. In fact, it actually started to hurt my eyes after a while (no clue on how that works). I'm no stranger to this sort of music, but this goes over the line. The only positive thing I can say about this album is it definitely has that old southern/western feel to it. Listening to the album is sort of like stepping on a rusty nail, or getting squeezed by a pair of spurs.1.0 awfulHeavy Heavy Low Low Courtside Seats…
