| 5.0 classic |
| AFI Black Sails in the Sunset |
| Malleus Maleficarum is easily the best when it comes to their punk era (pre-STS). After I heard that, I gradually discovered how much of a breakthrough this album was for the band. One of the best. |
| AFI Sing the Sorrow |
| AFI The Art of Drowning |
| One of the first real punk albums I ever heard. It changed my life. To the pure insanity of Smile, the technicality of The Despair Factor, and the gracing existance of Morning Star, there are so many noteworthy parts of this album. |
| Blaqk Audio CexCells |
| Catchy, diverse, just give me Bright Black Heaven so I can have more. |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me |
| This is just as good as it gets. I rediscover this album every listen and it just gets better and better. |
| Glassjaw Worship and Tribute |
| Iron Maiden Powerslave |
| Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast |
| La Dispute Somewhere at the Bottom of the River... |
| Outstanding. Words cannot descirbe how heart-warming/breaking this album is. |
| La Dispute Wildlife |
| This album made me think that this band can do no wrong. The concept is perfect and this album shows a different side to the band. It won't hit you with a plethora of hardcore songs like Damaged Goods, New Storms, The Castle Builders, etc. Instead, it will show the genius efforts of a band that is clearly quite innovative. It isn't better than their debut, but it comes scary close. |

| Brand New Daisy |
| Brand New Fight Off Your Demons (The Demos) |
| Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal |
| Never would I have expected to like this, but I'll be damned if this isn't short of astounding. Best Tracks: Hospital For Souls, And The Snakes Start To Sing, Can You Feel My Heart |
| Chiodos All's Well That Ends Well |
| Chiodos Bone Palace Ballet |
| Circa Survive Violent Waves |
| It's better than a 4 and but not quite a 4.5. that's nothing excessive listens can't change. "Phantasmagoria" is perhaps the grooviest thing I've ever heard. This whole album is an experiment and it all succeeds. Still, I don't think it will ever beat BSN |
| Converge All We Love We Leave Behind |
| This album was much more appraochable than anything else the band has done. For once, not only did I sense the displayed depth, I became immersed in it. The title track slays hard and lives up to its namesake. |

| This is a solid 4. It's all pretty fantastic and as a whole this beats out his self-titled. Best Tracks: Overgrown, Retrograde, I Am Sold |

| Silversun Pickups Neck of the Woods |
| It's a great album. That's all there is to it. Fans should definitely like it. It didn't branch out far from what they have been doing, and it's very entertaining. Some of the riffs feel very similar to not only what is on this record but their previous ones as well, but it's nothing to fret over. |
| Silversun Pickups Swoon |
| Soundgarden King Animal |
| Sylosis Conclusion Of An Age |
| The Chariot One Wing |
| Easiest 4.5 I've given all year and quite possibly ever, for a band I tried first listen. |
| The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium |
| The Mars Volta Noctourniquet |
| It gets better and better with every listen because you realize that everything is in its right place here. Very innovative with insane synth/electronics. A lot of beauty and calling it prog almost seems inaccurate. Future punk? Is that what they called it? Seems about right. |
