5.0 classic
Coheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
What an album. This is the type of Coheed I love the most. The more heavier songs like Welcome Home and No World For Tomorrow are not really my jam. The songs where Claudio's voice is in a higher pitch is the stuff I love. Three Evils, The Crowing, and The Light & the Glass are great examples. I also love the lyrics to Backend of Forever, great emotion in that song.
Incubus (USA-CA) Morning View
This was the first album I heard by Incubus, I think this may be why I like it more than Make Yourself. The song list is just incredible. Brandon Boyd has the voice of an angel pretty much. I love Mexico, Are You In, Under My Umbrella, Circles, and the obvious singles. Great, great songs.
John Frusciante Shadows Collide with People
Yet another great album from John Frusciante. Besides the (sorry to say) annoying 00 Ghost 27 and Failure 33 Object, this is an amazing album. Josh Klinghoffer's backup vocals are a great touch. Also, Flea's amazing bassist skills gives this album a good kick. I love the instrumental 23 Go Into End, beautiful and yet mysterious at the same time. It reminds me of the bottom of the ocean, peaceful and unknowing. The Slaughter, Cut Out, and Omission are fantastic songs worth mentioning.
John Frusciante The Empyrean
This is the first album I heard by Frusciante, it's unfortunate that it took me so long to listen to this great man. The Empyrean is a beautiful album, through and through. Especially the opening song, Before the Beginning. It is such an epic f'n song. It feels as though it's more than just a guitar solo. Frusciante's guitar skills are equally matched by his lyrical skills. You can feel the emotion in every song. Another good song from that album is Unreachable, "We don't rely on what we get, We're picking up where we aren't yet " is a great line. Frusciante's lyrics are just mesmerizing, makes you think. One More of Me is a strong example, not only does he go out of his boundaries singing-wise, but the lyrics are just remarkable "Whats gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it. And what is anything, anyway? But a series of things running through your brain" The Empyrean is just an astounding album. It's true music.
The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to me is just perfect in every way. I will agree that some songs could be considered fillers, but I feel that all of them have a strong significance to the album. Mellon Collie has such real emotion to it, the lyrics, the sound, everything. Billy could not have done a better job. It's a great album to jam out to and also a great album to just relax to.
The Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
Phenomenal album. This is the album that really brought The Pumpkins into the spotlight. A lot of great songs on this album, all of them are worth noticing.

4.5 superb
Alexisonfire Watch Out!
This album is in my opinion their best. great music to sing(scream) along to. Dallas' voice just goes great with George's. No Transitory is a personal favorite off the album.
Alexisonfire Crisis
Crisis. George really shines in this one, which I love. This album also feels a bit more mature than Watch Out!, they become more than just a screamo band. We are the Sound/End are just fantastic songs. The song Rough Hands blows my mind. George does a fantastic on this song vocally. He's grown from "the screamer" to actually a lead vocalist. To A Friend, Thrones, and Boiled Frogs are definitely songs worth mentioning.
Alkaline Trio Crimson
My favorite album by Alkaline Trio. Time to Waste couldn't have been a better opener. Fantastic song, I wouldn't expect anything less from them. Burn has got to be my favorite song off the album, Matt Skiba is great. Dan's singing is awesome, like during Smoke, The Poison, and I Was A Prayer. A well put together album, every song feels like it belongs there, sound and lyrics-wise.

Incubus (USA-CA) Make Yourself
Incubus (USA-CA) Alive at Red Rocks
Great set of songs on this one. I love Pantomime, I like this version more than the one on the greatest hits album. The song Follow has a beautiful intro. Plus, this is the album where I fell in love with Monuments and Melodies, such a great song. The two live songs are solid as well.

Zwan Mary Star Of The Sea
Ah, Billy's short-lasting side project Zwan. In my opinion I wish they lasted a little longer. But the reason for the bands break-up was a legit one. When Billy was asked about possibly reforming "You'll never see Zwan. I'll never go anywhere near those people. Ever. I mean, I detest them. You can put that in capital letters. Bad people." But anyways, Mary Star of the Sea just wasn't enough for me, even with the 14 minute long Jesus I/Mary Star of the Sea. Such a wonderful and uplifting album. But the truth that went on between the band members was not so uplifting. On a lighter note Paz Lenchantin's voice compliments Billy's phenomenally. Lyric is a great example. Some favorites are Heartsong, Of A Broken Heart, Yeah!, and Settle Down.

4.0 excellent
311 Don't Tread On Me
311 with another great album. I love Nick's voice. especially in Frolic Room. SA Martinez does a great job in Long for the Flowers, one of my favorites off the album. along with Getting Through to Her.

311 From Chaos
311 Evolver
311 Uplifter
A good album by 311. Hey You feels like the perfect song to start the album. True 311 there. Not all the songs on there I like. Not a fan of India Ink, Jackpot, I Like the Way. But I love It's Alright, Mix It Up, Daisy Cutter. Huge fan of the slower stuff like My Heart Sings and Two Drops in the Ocean.

She Wants Revenge Up and Down EP
I wasn't feeling this album very much. Besides Animal Attraction, I wasn't too keen on the other songs. It feels as though they were drifting away from their original roots on this one. It's good to experiment with new sounds, but the dark feeling that SWR gives off in their first album is really what their best at.
