While maintaining their catchy side, the band was able to create songs with a great deal of quality and consistency, with envolving atmospheres and significative lyrics. From the catchy Haight Street, to the nostalgic Misearbile Visu (ex malo bonum), Anberlin managed to create what surely is one of their most complete albuns. Recommended tracks: Haight St., Misearbile Visu (ex malo bonum), Soft Skeletons, Younglife, Disappear.Arcade Fire Neon BibleArctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am...Bernardo Sassetti Alice OSTBrand New Deja EntenduElvis Presley Elvis: 30 #1 HitsFrank Sinatra Come Fly With MeGuns N' Roses Appetite for DestructionJames Brown The 50th Anniversary CollectionJohann Pachelbel Canon and Gigue in DJohn Coltrane The Very Best Of John ColtraneMichael Jackson BadMuse AbsolutionMy Chemical Romance The Black ParadeNirvana NevermindParades Foreign Tapes"No matter how much one denigrates the music industry and its lack of originality from year to year, there is bound to be at least one act that appears out of nowhere to place a smile on an individuals face and restore his or her faith in this fantastic thing we call music. In 2010, that act is Sydney quartet Parades."Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the MoonQueen Absolute GreatestThat Queen is a inalienable musical reference is a widely-known and accepted fact. Their musical inheritance is so ample that if one wants to listen to various genres in just one album, the best thing to do certainly is to spin some Queen LP. Probably you'll find touches and influences from progressive rock, pop, glam rock, dance, hard rock, blues, opera, gospel and so many other I can't remember right now. Their sound tends to be, therefore, somewhat pretentious, full of grandious instrumentalization and choirs that either work very well or feel grandly exagerated when out of place. Nevertheless, the talent of all the musicians never fails to impress and Mercury's voice will always be, in my view, the greatest to ever exist. Although this album won't impress many loyal fans since it's their 17th compilation, it will be usefull for those who aren't familiar with the band. It's a collection of all the band's hits, consequently it's awesome, it's superb, it's a (semi-)classic. Especially in a time in which all we hear is radio ca ca. Rec'd: Bohemian Rhapsody, Who Wants To Live Forever, Seven Seas Of Rhye, I Want To Break Free, Radio Ga Ga, We Are The Champions, A Kind Of Magic, The Show Must Go On, Another One Bites The Dust, Don't Stop Me Now, We Will Rock You, Killer QueenRadiohead The BendsEven without knowing the whole discography of the band, it's easy to guess Radiohead seted on this album some of the best songs they've ever written. However, a couple of filler tracks in its final section brings a weariness feeling to the album, as if it become suddenly old and began to slowly die. On the other hand, Street Spirit, Fake Plastic Trees, High & Dry are notable alternative rock tracks, featuring the typical big charge of emotion behind a nostalgic atmosphere - that would be remembered for the rest of their career. Nevertheless, the guitar section in the heavier songs of the album is rather impressive, which shows Radiohead isn't the representative band of only one genre. In short, if something in this band's discography is better that the The Bends, this album, considering its consistency, ampleness, its highlights and the impact it had then (and will have now) surely isn't one to forget or overlook. Recomended Tracks: Street Spirit (Fade Out), Fake Plastic Trees and High & Dry.

Perhaps the most notable highlight is the dark, mysterious atmosphere that the band incorporated, probably concretized by the intros that made this album so famous. Looking in retrospective, the album is pretty diverse in musical terms colecting radio-friendly quality songs ('Diary of Jane', 'Breath' & 'Until The End'), heavier tones ('Had Enough' & 'Topless'), alternative experiences that actually work pretty well ('Outro' & 'You Fight Me') - which shows that they should be more experimental - and the acoustic touch in the piano version of 'Diary Of Jane'. Lyrics are satisfatory, if a bit repetitive; the exceptions would be the messy 'Topless' and 'Here We Are', a letdown both lyrically and musically. Other standouts include 'Dance With The Devil' and 'Unknown Soldier'. Gathering qualities like consistency, diversity and creativity, 'Phobia' is effectively Breaking Benjamin's best album to date (with the latest being 'Dear Agony').Breaking Benjamin Breaking BenjaminChevelle Wonder What's NextDa Weasel 3º CapítuloDa Weasel Podes Fugir Mas Não Te Podes EsconderDa Weasel Re-DefiniçõesDead Combo Lusitânia PlayboysDead Combo Quando a Alma Não é PequenaDead Combo Lisboa MulataEminem RecoveryApoligy accepted.

Moodier and heavier than its predecessor, ABIII goes way too long for the genre and repeats itself too many times; 'Still Remains' and 'I know it hurts' are way too similar; 'Make it right', 'Fallout', 'Breathe Again' and 'Life must go on' add absolutely nothing to the album, except for continuing the storyline of a nihilist looking for the truth. When not forgettable and a bit dull - like in the cases of 'Make it right' and 'Breathe again' -, those songs keep the music quality of the album, but are unnecessary and would maybe work out better as b-sides. The next effort should have a wider field for innovation. rListen to: Slip to the void, Isolation, Coeur d'Alene, Words darker than their wings.Anberlin Blueprints For The Black MarketAnberlin Never Take Friendship PersonalArctic Monkeys Favourite Worst NightmareArctic Monkeys Suck It And SeeBlack Stone Cherry Black Stone CherryBlack Stone Cherry Folklore and Superstitionblink-182 blink-182blink-182 Take Off Your Pants and JacketBrand New Your Favorite WeaponBreaking Benjamin SaturateBreaking Benjamin Shallow Bay: The Best Of Breaking BenjaminBritney Spears Greatest Hits: My PrerogativeBritney Spears CircusChevelle Hats Off to the BullNothing too important to say - never considered this guys amazing. The whole of this album ends up being pleasent, melodic and solid, sounding as good as they can, but with a poorer light, a slow-death sign: a probable indication that from now on things will get worse.Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the HeadColdplay Viva La VidaColdplay Mylo XylotoDa Weasel Iniciação a Uma Vida Banal - O ManualBefore this guys split up, they were not only the very first hip hop band in Portugal, but also greatest. Their so ample variety of influences - from hip hop, to trash metal, soul, R&B - made each of their of their albuns worth to listen to, as they would surprise with a heavy riff coming from nowhere and in the next song would be singing something 50 Cent would do.

Since they have been applying such structure for years and years, one would expect some change now. From the begining to the end of this album, there isn't a single song that slows into to a nice acoustic, an instrumental or even a simple cover, anything that differs from the riff-verse-chorus-bridge thing. It's like listening to one great song lasting for forty minutes.

Recomended: Na Na Na, Bulletproof, Only Hope, Save Yourself.P!nk FunhousePanic! At the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat OutRed Until We Have FacesApart from a few highlights, Until We Have Faces seems to be a combination of older sounds and lyrics with a much more accentuaded mainstream shade. Recomended: Feed The MachineRev Theory Light It UpRihanna LoudRhianna does absolutely nothing extraordinary for the genre. Instead, she uses her great talent to create what is a fairly impressive mixture of various influences from Pop, Hip-hop, R&B and Soul. However, she still has to prove that her albums aren't just like the others on the chart.

There's, however, at least three reasons why it isn't: 1. Half of the album are interludes. 2. There's some really generic and bad songs here. Burning In The Skies is a mediocre ballad, with mediocre lyrics, mediocre singing and it's even rehashed from Shadow Of The Day, a single from their previous, huummmm, how should I call it, "effort". Blackout and The Messenger both suffer from very poor songwriting and the most forced vocals ever. 3. Although many consider the change of musical style some kind of an evolution, I seriously can't take out of the head the idea of Linkin Park members reuniting and deciding something like: "Hey, rock isn't fashion anymore, let's try electronica, everybody's listening to that now". Nice try, sellouts. Nevertheless, the two first singles are decent enough to be worth a listen like twice in a month. Otherwise they will get old, just like any other song coming from this guys. In conclusion, give the The Catalyst, Waiting For The End and even Wretches And Kings a try, but don't bother buying the whole thing.Nickelback Dark HorseThis will be extremely successfull on the radio. I mean, Something In Your Mouth is such a hard rocker and If Today Was Your Last Day is the most touching ballad of all time. But seriously, This Afternoon is a fun track to listen once in a while.
