Each and every song is a classic, and I just love it. It defines a lot of my musical tastes.Protest the Hero KeziaIt's a cohesive concept album, and that alone is uncommon enough for this to warrant the praise it's been given. Add to that the blistering awesomeness of each and every instrument on here, and just the idea of writing an album you know you can't play, just to sit down and learn it and record it with and almost unparallelled result.

They take what bands like fordirelifesake and Shai Hulud have been doing, and do it so much better than anyone. Anyone into "heavy" music should listen to this.Shai Hulud That Within Blood Ill-TemperedStrike Anywhere Exit EnglishStrike Anywhere Change is a soundStrung Out Twisted By DesignThe Offspring SmashVital Remains Dechristianize4 excellent88 Fingers Louie Back On The StreetsA Wilhelm Scream Benefits of Thinking Out LoudBad Astronaut Twelve Small Steps, One Giant DisappointmentBelvedere Fast Forward Eats the TapeBelvedere 'twas hell said former childBigwig ReclamationBombs Over Providence Liberty's Ugly Best FriendBrand New Deja EntenduBridge to Solace Kingdom of the DeadBurst OrigoGreat atmospheric metalcore, skilfully employing the dynamics of sung, spoken and screamed vocals as well as musical dynamics of harder and softer parts. Like a mix between Isis and Converge.Choke There's A Story To This MoralCircle Takes The Square As The Roots UndoThis is one of my favourite emo/screamo albums - the epic feel and the emotional release of it really makes it the epitome of modern emo, at least to me. Frantic, grinding, tempo-shifting parts mixed with ambiently ominous build-ups, multi-layered vocals over a braod spectrum of styles - all in all, it's basically the recipe of good emo. The only things that drag it down for me is its pretentiousness and the somewhat lackluster production (both in the flat sound and in the occasional untightness), although that's probbaly my untrue-emo-head side popping its head in.

Not even original music. Hardly even discernable from other bands of this type. However, they know their trade - seldom will you find music this unrelenting and brutal. Often stays in expected slam death mid-tempo, with occasional blasts, none of the instruments really impress with virtuosity - they don't exactly dissappoint either, but do a good job obliterating eardrums with brutality - save the vocalist, who takes the word "guttural" to new lows. Absolutely sickening, like a mutated frog someone stepped on. And I mean that in the best possible way. Extra, extra credit for brutality.Back on the Streets Blood BrothersWell-written and well-played mix between power metal and melodic hardcore, crippled only by poor production (but good for being a zero-budget deal) and inconsistant vocals (that range from being really fitting to being downright horrible). Great first effort from a band that I'm sure will produce wonderous things!Bad Astronaut Houston: We Have a Drinking ProblemBigwig An Invitation to TragedyBigwig Unmerry MelodiesCircle Jerks Group SexCoheed and Cambria Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV...Flogging Molly Within a Mile of HomeHappy Meals ToasterHatebreed PerseveranceInspection 12 Get RadLagwagon DuhLess Than Jake Hello RockviewMeshuggah IMeshuggah ChaosphereNasum ShiftNOFX War On ErrorismRise Against The Sufferer and the WitnessThe Vandals Look What I Almost Stepped In3 goodAction Action Don't Cut Your Fabric To This Years FashAutumn Leaves As Night Conquers DayBad Astronaut Acrophobeblink-182 Dude RanchBreak The Silence Near Life ExperienceEnvy Insomniac DozeGood Riddance My RepublicIgnite Our Darkest DaysIon Dissonance Minus the HerdLess Than Jake Losing StreakNo Use for a Name !Leche Con Carne!No Use for a Name More Betterness!No Use for a Name Hard Rock BottomNOFX Wolves in Wolves' ClothingNOFX Heavy Petting ZooNOFX S&M AirlinesNOFX Liberal AnimationNone More Black File Under BlackRefused The Shape Of Punk To ComeRise Against Siren Song Of The Counter CultureStrike Anywhere Chorus of One EPThe Living End The Living EndThrice Vheissu2.5 averageAgainst Me!
