| City and Colour Sometimes |
| City and Colour Live at the Orange Lounge |
| City and Colour Little Hell |
| I developed such a strong bond with both 'bring me your love' and 'sometimes' which I don't think this can replace. This is more mellow, paced at a slower tempo throughout - compared to BMYL. This album lacks some of the catchy hooks and some emotion which were so evident in previous releases. In saying that though, some songs are magnificent. Overall, a great record, one which won't leave my car for a while. |

| Not really musically impressive, although, the tracks are solid. Full of breakdowns, but they're decently intriguing. 4 but I would usually rate something like this 3.5. There's something about this that just gets me. |

| Couldve been a lot better. The cleans provide some really catchy hooks. Screaming a little overdone at times. Nonetheless an enjoyable release. Took a few spins to appreciate it. |

| blink-182 Neighborhoods |
| A great release minus a few tracks which I dislike entirely. This could have been awesome, it just falls a little short. Been listening to them since I was 13 so I'll always have a soft spot for their music. |
| Brand New Daisy |
| Breakdown Of Sanity Mirrors |
| Quite good, I like the breakdowns. Not a fan of the attempt in cleans. The overall feel of the album would have benefited from the extraction of the cleans. |
| Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal |
| This breaks through their course of previously failed attempts at making a successful record. A great release from a band I never thought deserved the time of day. |
| Bullet For My Valentine Bullet For My Valentine |
| Cinema Sleep Make Your Way |
| Close Your Eyes Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts |
| They need to string together more songs like paper thin. Overall, quite catchy with each track providing it's own little charm. |

| A little disappointing that there are only 3 tracks. Yes you can call it generic, but it's bloody good. |
| Jonny Craig A Dream Is A Question You Don't Know How To Answer |
| La Dispute Wildlife |
| The Instrumentals are absolutely amazing - as always. BUT i can't help but feel that the vocals are lacking variety. It's just too repetitive. Change it up a little. This could have been killer. |
| Lead Hands Decoder |
| Lower Than Atlantis Far Q |
| Make Do and Mend End Measured Mile |
| Memphis May Fire The Hollow |
| First EP was the best. I really hope this is better than Sleepwalking cos that pretty much sucked |
| Memphis May Fire Challenger |
Like always, a decent effort, however, I'm slightly disappointed in the direction Matt takes with his
vocals at times. His voice is great (although a little high pitched) but the placement of certain melodies in
some of the choruses just don't seem right - resulting in a lack of flow in each song (apparent in 'legacy'
especially). Other than that, this is quite an enjoyable listen which took me a little while to get into.

| Misery Signals Controller |

| Generic? Maybe a little... BUT this record is hard, fast and catchy as fuck. |
| No Bragging Rights Cycles |

| A couple of stand out tracks. Not a bad effort, its obvious they put their heart into this. |

| Omar Rodriguez-Lopez どういたしまして |
| Parkway Drive Don't Close Your Eyes |
| Parkway Drive Horizons |
| Parkway Drive Deep Blue |
| A solid release. It's not going to make metal history in music, it's not ground breaking but it's enjoyable and well produced. After having the album on repeat since it's release I've noticed that in comparison to most metalcore bands these days, parkway now lack technicality, evident in the guitars. Some songs are too slow and lose the punch that previous albums brought. In saying that, the majority of the songs are solid. I'm disappointed that this could have been so much better. |
| Parkway Drive Atlas |
| Better than Deep Blue - that's good enough for me. Can't wait to hear this. r |
| Periphery Periphery |
| Pierce the Veil Selfish Machines |
| Pierce the Veil Collide With the Sky |
| The end of 'bulls in the Bronx is epic'. This album is infectiously catchy. Better than previous releases for sure. |

| Senses Fail The Fire |
| Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks |
| Shai Hulud Reach Beyond the Sun |
| Stick To Your Guns The Hope Division |
| Stolas Living Creatures |
| The Air I Breathe Great Faith In Fools |
| Listened to about half so far. All I can say for now is great musicianship, effected by mediocre cleans and generic melodies. |
| The Amity Affliction High Hopes |
| The Devil Wears Prada Zombie |
| musically i think its quite good. the screams are solid. however, still quite generic and repetitive. |
| The Devil Wears Prada Dead Throne |
| This is surprisingly really good. Their best release.... and I wasn't a fan of their music before this |
| The Devin Townsend Project Ghost |
I appreciate the beauty of this album more than I actually enjoy it. It strangely reminds me of avatar every
time I listen to it. Would have been the perfect sound track to accompany the movie. As far fetched as that
sounds. |
| The Gaslight Anthem American Slang |
| The Ghost Inside Get What You Give |
Seaanemone. Really, a 1? Why some bother rating is beyond me.
A great effort, but this is not better than their previous work.
|
| The Word Alive Empire |
| Thrice Major/Minor |
| Thursday No Devolucion |
| For a reason unknown, I cant get into this as much as I would've liked to. maybe I have to give it a few more spins. however, i do understand why this has such a high rating, its probably the most non generic release in the genre for 2011. |
| Trenches The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole |
| Troubled Coast Letters |
| Underoath Disambiguation |
| ok EDIT previous remark. Listened to it heaps. Its Good. |
| Upon a Burning Body The World Is Ours |
| Violet The Brightside |
| We Are The Emergency Rations |
Bring you home is killer.
Your soundoff was too short, it has to be at least 50 characters |
| 3.0 good |
| A Day To Remember Homesick |
| A Skylit Drive Identity On Fire |
| Their previous efforts were so bad I didn't bother rating either. This on first listen is better than both and I cant help feel a little impressed with them. Cleans are still on the homo side though. I agree with that. |
| Adept Death Dealers |
| OK so after a few more listens, I've come to the conclusion that the album lyrically, is shallow. Some lyrics are just horrid. Musically it's quite inventive (for post hardcore) and you can even say that it has its moments where it shines. The evident choruses of most songs are where this albums fails. While everything else works quite well, this area lacks substance and creativity, resulting in overall dissatisfaction. However, I can't compare this to their previous record as I've never listened to it. |
| Alexisonfire Old Crows / Young Cardinals |
| Anberlin New Surrender |
| Architects Daybreaker |
| Its not the hollow crown follow up we all hoped for. However, it's not the huge disappointment we all expected either. |
| Atreyu The Curse |
| blink-182 Dogs Eating Dogs |
| Bloc Party Four |
Bloc party have returned with 50% of their drive from silent alarm. Their mellow songs far outweigh their upbeat
tracks. Cut this album in half and it would've made a killer ep.And - how is this/intimacy superior to silent alarm?
Some people on here must be on something. |
| Bring Me The Horizon There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It |
| First of all, the quality of mine sucked. However, considering they have a decent new guitarist I hoped they would have used this to their advantage, but they didn't. Musically the album lacks.There's still too much chugging throughout and not enough diversity. The guest vocals on Fuck and the use of Lights on two tracks add a nice touch to the album overall. |
| Broadway Kingdoms |

| Darkest Hour Deliver Us |
| Deaf Havana Fools And Worthless Liars |
| Not that amazing. Best track by far is little white lies. |
| Dreamshade The Gift of Life |
| Elder (USA-PA) Reflect |
| Vocals are way too low, I can barely hear them. production sucks. Some songs drag on. All in all a good release. However, I was expecting a little more after reading the review. |
| Emarosa Emarosa |
| Eminem Recovery |
| I got this purely out of curiosity. Not being a fan of hip hop, this album is quite solid. Shits all over Encore and Relapse. |
| Evergreen Terrace Almost Home |
| For The Fallen Dreams Back Burner |
The first songs chorus reminds me of something Emery has done in the past, just can't put my finger on it. I sorta like
it. Nothing new here. Previous releases were heaps better |
| Friend For A Foe Source of Isolation |
| Gideon Costs |
| Gotye Making Mirrors |
| I was expecting a dark and immersive record, going by the first release off the album. His slower paced, highly emotional tracks are amazing, however, tracks like 'I feel better' ruin the experience. |
| Greeley Estates No Rain, No Rainbow |
| Greeley Estates The Death of Greeley Estates |
| House Vs. Hurricane Perspectives |
| Lions!Tigers!Bears! Shallow Waters, Endless Depth |
| Some songs are quite interesting. Others are boring, done before. Liking the high screams. Cleans are generic and melodies lack creativity. Get the color morale. |
| Lower Definition The Infinite Et Cetera |
| I don't understand how everyone thinks this band is so good. It's a decent release at best. |
| Mt Eden Mt Eden Album |
| Our Last Night We Will All Evolve |
| Pierce the Veil A Flair For The Dramatic |
| Protest the Hero Scurrilous |
| What were they thinking? Massive let down. Defeater officially has all my attention. |
| Secret And Whisper Teenage Fantasy |
| Listened to it a lot more and found it wasn't as good as I thought |
| Shadows Chasing Ghosts The Golden Ratio |
| Couple of good tracks. Other than that, I'm really failing to see how this is a 4.5 |
| Skyway Take These Days |
| Stick To Your Guns Diamond |
| The Plot In You First Born |
| This is ok. Too much chugging, not enough variety. Every song sounds the same. |
| The Subtle Way Thus Far, the Channels Speak |
| Vanna And They Came Baring Bones |
| A little disappointing.Is it just me or is it boring and bland? Few good songs... but its back to Leveler for me. |
