| Miseration The Mirroring Shadow | 4.0 |
| Brutal, fast, melodic, and freaking SWEDISH. What more can one ask for? |
| We Came As Romans To Plant a Seed | 4.0 |
| The Arusha Accord The Echo Verses | 4.0 |
| Asking Alexandria Stand Up and Scream | 2.0 |
| Yes, this is definitely one of the most generic bands I've heard in a long time. Yet there are still some spots on this album I enjoy. Mainly a few of the breakdowns, but the stuff in between is just not very good. |
| Muse The Resistance | 2.5 |
| Future of Forestry Travel II | 4.5 |
| The Color Morale We All Have Demons | 3.0 |
| Oh, Sleeper Son of the Morning | 5.0 |
| I think this album improves on When I am God not by adding more to the formula, but by actually detracting some from it. When I am God, while still being a great album, was very chaotic, and Oh, Sleeper took some of the chaos out to give the songs more form and discernable patterns, and manages to keep me interested much more than WIAG did. This is definitely one of my favorite metalcore albums, possibly second only to Constellations |

| It's like slipknot... but good. Better lyrics, better overall musicianship, better songwriting. And a debut album?! Fantastic. |
