| Alcest Écailles De Lune | 4.0 |
| it's an impressive album. Beautiful guitar tones, phenominal atmosphere. The biggest flaw in the album however; the drums. Understandably, it's a one-man project, but the dtums lack greatly. Besides that, it's a wonderful album. |

| Protest the Hero Fortress | 4.5 |
| Fortress is a love or hate album. If you hate it, you'll hate the guitar-centric songs, and the high pitched vocals. If you love it, you recognize the technical difficulty and love it all the more for it. I fall into the latter category. Fortress is a phenomenal follow-up to Kezia. It's a 4.75, not quite a classic |
