| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath |
| Obviously its a classic being the first ever metal album ever, but that doesn't necessarily make it "classic" status. Although "Black Sabbath" does contain some of my favorite Black Sabbath riffs/sections of all time, the album is really random at a lot of parts. In other words, it is not put together too cohesively unfortunately. |

| Bring Me The Horizon There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It |
| Wanted to write a review for this album, but I feel like I would fanboy the living crap out of it. hahaha |
| Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal |
| Excellent electronics (and that is something coming from someone who HATES electronics). There is a Hell does seem better still to me, but maybe this one will grow one me like that one did. Personally, most of the songs sound like better keyboards on their previous album's songs and the tracklist seems kind of lopsided with medium heavy tracks, two or three really deep atmospheric ones, and a hardcore anthem in "antivist." I was hoping for more atmosphere in this one, but its certainly not bad. Still deciding whether this is a "4" or a "3.5" |

| Very ahead of its time. A LOT of bands copied off of this album/band. You can hear it in Botch, every sludge band now, hell, even Tool might be have slightly influenced by them in their later material. These guys must have loved Brutal Truth or something because that is the only album that I know of to mix some noise/sludge/grindcore at that time. rHowever, the album just turns into a big mess. Nothing fits together it is seriously just noise. A handful of the parts are sweet, but it is nothing that I could ever sit down and intently listen to again. This would be a good album to space out to, but that's it. |
