5 classic
As Cities Burn Come Now Sleep
This album is difficult to describe because it's very delicate in my mind. It has so much
meaning and beauty to it and yet it is quite the sad record. You hear Cody's voice break
and seep with frustration. You hear the guitars intertwine and cry and sometimes even roar
that just take you away. Everything in the album perfectly ties into everything else and it
all says something. It's a truly beautiful record, might even turn into a 5 for me. And if
you were raised in a Christian home, get this right now.
Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago
Infinitely listenable. I've had this for months and listened to it plenty of times and it just never gets old. Vernon's beautiful soundscapes and harmonies just always scratch me where I itch. It's so personal, yet so universal. The album is truly timeless once it clicks on you. Perfect rainy day album.

This is the sound of a band that has just lost it's mind and my God, it's fantastic. They perfectly balance creativity, insanity, and intensity. And, Lord knows we've all shit ourselves after the opening riff of "Cheers Pricks". Best grind album ever.

The Dear Hunter Act III: Life and Death
Though they aren't covering much new territory, this is still awesome. And the sound is just about as different from their past work as Act I is from Act II. Might not be a crazy new direction, but it's still more awesome Dear Hunter. And who else sounds like these guys anyways?

I'm actually suprised few have heard of this album, because I've had it and listened to it countless times for a few years. They really do have a pretty interesting sound, being charming, spacey, and energetic. And the singer was in Sound Of Animals Fighting, which is how I heard of them. Hopefully more people will check this out, because it rules.

whoo hoo am I happy about how great this is! Although this album was intended to be a return to form and a more focused "Beyond", it isn't just a Bug pt. 2. This guy is a revamped Dinosaur Jr. The record takes alot of the old vibe, with the fuzzy infectious pop of their 80's and the solo filled rock of their 90's and blends it all together to make some of Dinosaur's most thrilling songs. This is wonderful and unexpected. One might even call this Dinosaur Sr.
And the album art is fantastic.

Gosh, this is strange! This is probably the pinnacle of zany, quirky, epic prog. The band has an epic sci fi concept that Claudio Sanchez could only dream of writing and to up the pretense, the entire album is in a foreign language invented by the drummer! These dudes mix prog, jazz, krautrock, marching band music, and 20th century classical and it owns! Only thing is, it's long as hell.

Did not expect this. I thought that all was lost after Bedlam, which I didn't like at all. Although they aren't doing the craziness of Frances or Amputecture, they have gone in a beautiful and mellow direction. Vast improvement from the rock wankery of Bedlam In Goliath. You've regained my faith, Omar!

This is what got me into ambient music. It's the most chill thing ever and perfect if you're in the mood and you don't want to listen to nothing but you don't really want to break your mood by listening to anything. It's great music to think to, write to, zone out to, or really concentrate with. It's all good.
