| Korn Korn III: Remember Who You Are | 3.5 |
| Fields of Locust Subtopia | 4.5 |
| Eminem Recovery | 4.0 |
| This is the first album where he attempts to go back to the 'shady'ness of his first two LP's. He still isn't quite there as there are a few tracks out of place and a couple that should of just been dropped. A better track ordering would benefit this album, as would a shortening of it. The accent is mostly gone, but some of the pop sensibilities are still around. You won't find a 'Stan', 'Under The Influence', 'My Name Is' or 'Guilty Conscience' on here, but what you will find is solid. It's hopefully a stepping stone to reperfecting his infamous style. |
| Rosetta A Determinism of Morality | 4.5 |
| This is a more focused Rosetta. With this album it shows they are happy with their 'space metal' sound. It has left them with the time to tweak their dynamics to add some differentiations. Such as nice chunky riffing to close the track 'Je N'en Connais Pas La Fin', incorporating some clean vocals on 'Release' and in between throwing in a melancholic instrumental 'Blue Day For Croatoa'. Not one track on here is out of place or boring.rThis is Rosetta's best work to date. |
| Dead Letter Circus This Is The Warning | 4.0 |
| Godsmack The Oracle | 3.5 |
| Kausal In Dead Cities | 4.0 |
| Year of No Light Ausserwelt | 3.5 |
| Khoma A Final Storm | 4.0 |
Wow. This is amazing. You can still hear the Cult Of Luna influence, but they've expanded their horizons. If you even mildly enjoyed their last effort I suggest to grab this since it's better. Just imagine a watered down Cult Of Luna with clean vox.
Post-alt-rock anybody? |
| Lis Er Stille The Collibro | 4.5 |
| Red Sparowes The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein... | 4.0 |
| This shit is so groovy, it's got me tapping my foot and nodding my head each spin. A whole bunch of groove-cake with a post-rock icing. If there was a vote for best bass in a post-rock album, you would have to expect this to be up there. |
| Jonsi Go | 3.0 |
| Rinoa An Age Among Them | 4.0 |
| Fear Factory Mechanize | 4.0 |
Fear Factory just became relevant again. With Dino's signature sound and Rhys on production they brought back the old Fear Factory while creating something heavier than any previous effort besides Soul Of A New Machine. Burton is Burton, Always good. Dino is Dino, Always Dino. Gene is sick, and keeps the signature FF beat while throwing some Gene blast beats in like a boss. Byron is great on bass too, it's even audiable occasionally, woo.
Fear Factory are back, It'll be cool for you to like them again now so you can stop hiding. MECHANIZEEEEEE MECHANIZZEEE MECH CAN FUCKING EYES. |
| Agrypnie 16[485] | 4.0 |
| This black metal album is quite catchy. The production is very tight for a black metal release. It also touches upon the post-metal/post-rock euphoric highs to good success. |
| Dangers Messy, Isn't It? | 4.0 |
