Another third of the time, they have really embarrassing moments (the 'ahem' in track 3, beginning of track 1, the really overly macho chants), and the other third is some really cool drums parts (track), original sounding choruses, and "creative" breakdowns. So it's fun to just listen to every once in a while, and laugh at the songwriting goofs, mistakes, and the stuff you were meant to laugh at.Tera Melos Idioms, Vol. 13.52008 The Fall of Troy Phantom on the Horizon4.0Fear Before Fear Before3.5Unearth The March3.5The most surprising thing about The March is it's ability to sound like power metal, but with shouted vocals. The guitar leads are really uplifting, and almost sound like something DragonForce would do, but more tasteful. Grave of Opportunity really shows this, and is my favorite song on this CD. My biggest complaint is that some of the bluesy guitar solos sound pretty forced. Other than that, it's a good CD for getting pumped, if nothing else.Between the Buried and Me Colors_Live3.5Most of the complaints I have deal with the cameras. They don't show the drummer nearly enough, even when he's seriously playing his ass off, they don't show the crowd or mosh pits or anything, and when the cameras occasionally go out of focus, it's a real eye sore. You can't hear the crowd during the few shout-alongs, which was kind of disappointing. The snare could have been louder, because you can't hear it during his blast beats. Prequel to the Sequel obviously wasn't the same without Adam Fisher to do the quest part, which brought that part down a little, but they did a good job without him anyway. Beyond a few effects and tone issues I have during solos and the polka break, they really played everything really well. I'm surprised Tommy can keep his voice after screaming like that for 2 hours or so. That, and the second set completely owns. They picked some of the very best songs from their backlog, and I was especially pleased to see Ad a Dglgmut and Backwards Marathon. I really wished they could have put the second set on a CD too. How great would a 3 disk set be from them, amirite? Bring Me the Horizon Suicide Season3.5United Nations United Nations4.0All Shall Perish Awaken the Dreamers4.0DragonForce Ultra Beatdown4.5It's really fun and more varied than Inhuman Rampage, but you can always tell when they've done something before on another album. But the fact that they revisit their past work just makes this more enjoyable. I don't really take them seriously as a band, they just make fun, insanely technical music. After the Burial Rareform3.0Grae Metropolis A Collective Overture3.0The Sword Gods of the Earth3.0The Black Keys Attack & Release4.0For a Black Keys album, this is kinda strange. The electronic elements added on this album are a little out of place, especially considering that everything else this band has done is very raw and sparsely produced. The influence Danger Mouse had on this album is a little distracting, IMO. More slow songs than rockers, but this isn't a bad thing. Psychotic Girl is a fantastic song, showcasing their many talents, guitar, banjo, and drums. For anybody else besides The Black Keys, this would be a great album. Heartfelt, moody, atmospheric, grooving, this album has it all. The Rolling Stone, hipster crown will probably eat this up, as well they should. Great music on here, much better than the previous release, Magic Potion.The Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely3.5Bury Your Dead Bury Your Dead2.5Meshuggah obZen3.0MyChildren MyBride Unbreakable3.5A Day To Remember For Those Who Have Heart (Reissue)3.5Mutemath Spotlight4.0The Mars Volta The Bedlam in Goliath2.5Protest the Hero Fortress4.02007 The Dillinger Escape Plan Ire Works4.5By The End Of Tonight/Tera Melos Complex Full of Phantoms4.5Coheed and Cambria No World for Tomorrow4.5Behold...

This is just really crazy hardcore, there's no metallic edge or anything you'd find on an Unearth/Parkway Drive album. The Chariot remind me of Every Time I Die, if they couldn't control their feedback, or actually scream in anything resembling a tasteful form. The southern rock sound that was popular back when also links them to ETID, but pairs riffing with dissonant chord shrieks. I can almost excuse their non-use of structure, because I liken the progression of the album to someone telling a story; there's no choruses in stories. What this story was trying to tell, I've no idea. The screams are unintelligible, and my concentration was lost sorting through the mashup of guitars. This is actually one of the few albums that's given me a headache. In fact, it actually started to hurt my eyes after a while (no clue on how that works). I'm no stranger to this sort of music, but this goes over the line. The only positive thing I can say about this album is it definitely has that old southern/western feel to it. Listening to the album is sort of like stepping on a rusty nail, or getting squeezed by a pair of spurs.Hot Cross Risk Revival3.5Bang Camaro Bang Camaro3.5Damiera M(US)IC4.0Tera Melos Drugs to the Dear Youth5.0Iwrestledabearonce Iwrestledabearonce3.52006 Switchfoot Oh!
