| The Gaslight Anthem Get Hurt | 3.0 |
| I first heard The 59 Sound in high school, back when I was incredibly impressionable, growing out of the shitty "middle-school-music" phase (Linkin Park, Korn, Disturbed, etc). It, along with the Gaslight Anthem, became one of my absolute favorites, always wanting to drive around, late on a summer night with the windows down, jamming to "The Patient Ferris Wheel". When Handwritten came out, I wanted to love it, and I did, for a bit. Now I can't listen to any of it, save maybe "45". I was excited to see what Get Hurt would do for the band, maybe Fallon and Co would reach a sound we didn't think they were capable of. The results ended up flat and disappointing. Still a decent album, but I don't think I'll ever get that same feeling from a new Gaslight song as I did when I first heard that record scratching on "Great Expectations". |

| Deftones Koi No Yokan | 4.5 |
| Although this album rode in on a hype train and was generally disliked because of it, it still manages to be one of the Deftones' best. Deftones can create an atmosphere that hangs over their album like no other band. We saw it with White Pony, Diamond Eyes and now again with Koi No Yokan. Chino's vocals and mixed with the combination of both metal and soft alt-rock is something only a band like Deftones can pull off, and there aren't any other bands like Deftones. Although it's no White Pony, it still stands alongside Diamond Eyes and far above any other Deftones release thus far. Brilliantly put together and atmospheric, Deftones do it again. |

When I started listening, I got so into it, I couldn't stop listening. Later, my uncle gave me their entire discography. Although this isn't Porcupine Tree's best, it still shows as a milestone in their discography. |
| Porcupine Tree Lightbulb Sun | 4.5 |
| This is one of Porcupine Tree's best albums. No, not better than In Absentia or Fear of a Blank Planet, but it's at least number 3. It shows what they were like before turning dark and gloomy. Fine, fine work. |
| Porcupine Tree In Absentia | 4.5 |
| No, this is NOT Porcupine Tree's best album. Fear of a Blank Planet is Porcupine Tree's best album. This album is still genius however. I was the start of their new sound. Instead of more of a Floyd sound, their sound started getting heavier. I love both of the sounds, pre-Absentia and post-Absentia, and this album is right in the middle, making it just amazing. |

| I don't really care if I'm supposed to rate things subjectively or not on this site, but this one, I really can't. Although it's not perfect in the sense that 'The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me' and 'White Pony' are perfect, it still seems almost flawless in my heart. The music is simple and the lyrics are cheesy, but that's what makes the Japandroids so good. I recently saw them at a small venue here in Denver, and they even admitted to having easy songs to sing along to. The complexity of the lyrics isn't what matters though, deep, meaningful lyrics aren't what makes an album stick with a person. I believe it was Hemingway who once said in response to Faulkner "Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?" Japandroids sing about going out, getting drunk, and having a damn good time, not caring about anything but the night ahead and the friends by your side. Complex or not, Japandroids will always know how to bring forth a sense of nostalgia in us all. |

| I grew up on Peter Gabriel. The one CD that was always playing in my parents' car was Peter Gabriel's 'Shaking the Tree: Greatest Hits'. I loved this album, and once I grew up to realize that there are actually songs outside of greatest hits albums, I picked this up. There isn't anything Peter Gabriel can't do. He was fantastic in Genesis, and he's still going strong solo (except for the 'Scratch My Back' exception). Overall an amazing album, I also happen to have found it on vinyl for $3, how fucking great is that? |

Whether the concept came to Gabriel in a dream, or he was just this crazy, the album came out beautifully. Every song brings out what Genesis got right in their previous albums.

| Yeah, yeah, I know it's Sowing's thing, but seriously, this is a fantastic break-up album. I was listening to Yellowcard (and this album) for probably just as long as my relationship with this girl, and I put this album on (coincidentally) on the drive over to her house one night, where she promptly broke up with me. It was tough, but as soon as "Believe" came on, well, I knew that everything was going to be alright. I recently saw them at the Warped Tour in Denver, and "Ocean Avenue" and "Only One" finally clicked for me, unleashing my true feelings. This album, sure the songs may all sound kind of the same, sure, they may be all about breaking up, but there's so much emotion poured into each song, I can't help but love it. Yeah, I still miss that girl, her name was Heather, but I know that only time and Yellowcard will heal the wounds that cut so deep when we finally came to an end. |

| Why is it that this album is so good? I mean, the vocals aren't anything to write home about, in fact, they could be considered somewhat bad. The production value is a little less than average, and sometimes, the songs just sound like noise. It's bands like Titus Andronicus that make me look for a brighter future in a musical present filled with shitty pop and dubstep. It's nice to know that a band can still pull off something completely original and unique and still get critical praise for such a thing. Sure, they may not be popular, they may not be played on the radio, but they still pull off being recognized by all the major music sites and magazines as one of the best albums of 2010 and one of the best albums of all time (for me at least.) Titus Andronicus makes the future of music a little less "wubby" and I'm perfectly okay with that. |

If all Kanye had to do is disrespect someone to make this good of an album, I want fists flying at the next MTV awards. |

It just seems to have that extra something that F#A#(Infinity) doesn't have. Maybe it's the more uplifting mood or the fact that there's an extra song to listen to. Whatever the case may be, this album is extraordinary in every sense of the word and deserves to go down in history as such. |

| Radiohead Kid A | 4.5 |
| I am really all over the place with this album. Not being a huge fan of Radiohead, I picked it up after I saw it at the top of all these "Best of the Decade" list. I started listening and hated it. I thought it was over-hyped and it didn't stand to 'OK Computer'. I would get angry every time someone would say that 'Kid A' was the best Radiohead album, because deep down inside, I knew it wasn't true. Later, I grew to love the album, but I still thought it was far less superior than 'OK Computer'. Later, I found myself listening to it all the time, realizing, that this may be one of my favorite albums. That was the day I realized that 'OK Computer' had been beaten by it's little brother 'Kid A'. |

| Beautiful and dynamic. Buckley showed what he was made of with Grace. From start to finish the album feels complete. Every song sounds different and unique. Jeff Buckley showed the world that he could be soft with "Hallelujah" and could rock hard with "Eternal Life". One of, if not THE essential album of the nineties. If you don't own this album, you don't know music. |

I never thought a hardcore band could produce something this amazing. Travels was great and I honestly never thought that they could do anything better, but Empty Days and Sleepless Nights proves that Defeater is the new king of hardcore. A truly awe-inspiring album. |

| If there's one word I hate more than any word in the English language, it's "epic." I understand it being used to describe a poem, book or anything else that actually stands by the definition of "epic". This album stands by the definition. While not "epic" in length, the sure quality of it is absolutely fantastic. Although the lyrics rarely make any sense, I want to sing along with every song. The vocalist has such a great range it just helps the "epic-ness" of the album. |

Personally, I understand the perspective of each standing, however, I have enjoyed this album from the minute I first heard it. The songs seem to get longer as the album goes on and as the songs get longer, the songs get better. This album wouldn't work without the emotion that Circle Takes the Square put into it. If the singing and playing was flat, this album wouldn't be anymore than a "good." But CTtS shows us that they have what it takes to be considered among the top emo bands. |

| When I first downloaded this album, I thought something had gone wrong. Why were there only two songs? that's ridiculous, that's a demo, not a fucking album. Then I noticed the length of these two songs, both over 25 minutes. I put off listening to this album for awhile (considering I never really had an hour to sit down and actually listen intently) but when I finally did I loved it. It's a very odd album, but every second is worth the listen. |

| I still remember when my mom wouldn't let me listen to blink because they were just too vulgar. Of course she heard this from a friend who heard from a friend whose son's friend's older brother listened to the stuff, but really. I was never really in to them until late, but I still remember seeing the look on my friend's face when he heard they were getting back together. I'm glad they did, but they will never make another album like this again. I won't lie, I do like the new "Box Car Blink" sound, but their self-titled was the epitome of amazing pop punk. It's interesting, being a late blink-bloomer, to see the change blink-182 went through over the years. Starting out as a generic punk band, they grew into pop punk, and as Tom DeLonge explored the more melodic side, the band ever grew (well, might I add) with him. Who would have thought the band that put farting and pissing noises into an album would end up making anything close to "I Miss You" and "I'm Lost Without You"? |

Except this isn't the kind of party music that you can't listen to on your own, but party to at a dance; no, this album is literally pure shit. I would rather lay in my own fecal matter than listen to "Imma be, Imma be, Imma Imma Imma be" one more fucking time. |

| "The Beatles suck." Those three words enter my ears almost every day. I hate them so very much. I will agree that they might not be the best band ever (personally) but I will agree that they are the most important band ever. The Beatles changed music with this album, but I still don't think it's as good as Abbey Road. Just an opinion, but one I personally enjoy having. I still love the Beatles though. |

| What I love about Animal Collective is that they are so different. They're different from every other band out there, but they're also different every time they release an album. Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam were a ton different from Feels and Merrriweather Post Pavilion is even stranger. This band doesn't ever fail to impress and this is the album that they shine on. |

| Anberlin Never Take Friendship Personal | 4.0 |
| Anberlin Cities | 4.5 |
| There's always something to be admired in a consistent band. Unless, of course, they're consistently bad. But that's not what Anberlin is, at all. With the recent release of their latest album, Vital, it made me go back and listen to everything they released again. They really knew what they were doing on every single album. Every single one was excellent. But then there are the ones like Cities (and I'm sure Vital will become this way after a couple more listens). The albums that, although don't break from the consistency the band worked so hard to achieve year after year, but only improves on it, making it not only an incredibly solid album, but and album that can be enjoyed for hours on end without break. From start to finish, Cities is wonderful. The chanting section in the middle of (Fin) is one of the most beautiful and spine chilling moments I've ever experienced in a song. |

| Now, people may say that Watch Out! is Alexisonfire's masterpiece, but for me, Crisis is just perfect. I've been digging this album hardcore for about a week now and every time I listen to it, I'm just more impressed than I was before. This Canadian band obviously has some major talent. One of the best, if not the best, post-hardcore album I have in my iTunes library. |

| Blue October Any Man in America | 4.0 |
| There are few bands out there that truly make me smile whenever I listen to them. Blue October, from their start, have been fantastic, and this album, is their best effort yet. Sure, it's not perfect, I would much rather have the rap section taken out of the title track, but that doesn't take away from the album as a whole. The concept is, although sad, still beautiful. From start to finish, I didn't find a dull moment; they experiment with their sound with every song, and never really fail at finding something that doesn't work. I truly hope Blue October grows from this album, and all their future releases are even better. The best album of 2011 so far, and it's close to the end of the year, so maybe even the best. |

| Say Anything ...Is a Real Boy | 5.0 |
| I have a lot of sound-offs. Mainly because when I first came to this site, I figured I'd put them on every single album I ever rated. Also because Sputnik won't let you remove them. All that aside, Id my shitty sound-off for this album and have decided to replace it with this. I like this album. |
| Say Anything In Defense of the Genre | 4.5 |
| Although this album isn't as good as ...Is a Real Boy, it's still fantastic. Max Bemis's lyrics still pierce the heart of angst-ridden teens everywhere, and I love it. The huge 27 song album is great from start to finish and never left me wishing there was more. |
| Say Anything Say Anything | 4.5 |
| So this may be Say Anything's weakest album to date, but that doesn't mean it can't be one of the greatest albums out there. I'm going to say this again, but there really isn't another person who is as great of a lyricist as Max Bemis. Every song is rich with speech and fluency. Truly an amazing album. |

| You know, I don't think I've ever wanted a musician to do drugs more than I want Eminem to relapse back into his pill addiction. I mean, he was so much better when he was rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin. Recovery wasn't as bad as Relapse, no, but still, he needs to be this good again. |

| It might only have five songs, but Wish You Were Here lasts a damn long time. This was one of my first albums that really got me into music. Without it, I don't think I would have even found this site which changed my musical tastes even more. Also, "Have a Cigar" is one of my favorite songs of all time. OF ALL TIME!!! |
| Pink Floyd Animals | 4.5 |
| Pink Floyd The Wall | 4.5 |
| This is nothing besides a five to me. I don't care what anyone says, I think it's much better than 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Animals'. Don't get me wrong, I think those albums are stand outs among progressive music, but to me 'The Wall' is just so much better. The story of it just pulls me in. Although there's a lot of filler, it's all needed, there's nothing there that shouldn't be there. It all seems to fit in to place. Now, I'm never going to say that 'The Wall' is better than 'Wish You Were Here', oh hell no. HELL NAW, but it's still a stand out album. |

| Deftones Adrenaline | 4.0 |
| Deftones Around the Fur | 4.5 |
| Deftones are slowly growing to be my favorite band. I had missed my chance to see them live in concert, I consider this one of my greatest mistakes as a music lover. Being their second release, this showed fans and haters that Deftones could be more than just a nu-metal band. They slowed down and cut back on the vocals for some songs, showing their melodic side. This sophomore release is wonderful to listen to, and I do listen to it, quite often. |
| Deftones White Pony | 5.0 |
| Rest in Peace Chi Cheng. This album is ultimately superior to anything else that has been released in a while. |
| Deftones Deftones | 3.5 |
| Deftones Saturday Night Wrist | 4.0 |
| Deftones Diamond Eyes | 4.5 |
| There just seems to be something about Deftones. No band (that I've seen) has been able to change their sound this much and still remain at the top of their game with every single album release thus far. Defying any sort of genre, Deftones create their own world made up of their own music, using their god given talent for the good of all mankind. |
| Opeth Still Life | 4.5 |
| Opeth Blackwater Park | 4.5 |
| This is Opeth's magnum opus. Nothing the made, or will make, will be better than this album right here. The eight songs last forever but never seem to take too long to get finished. The album is perfect in every way. Plus Steven Wilson helped them out with the production, which just makes it that much better. |
| Opeth Damnation | 4.5 |
| Imagine what Opeth created with Blackwater Park, now just tone down everything. Take is slower, don't growl as much (or at all) and you've got yourself Damnation. This album, like Blackwater Park, is perfect. It shows that even the heaviest of black metal bands can tone it down and still sound fantastic. Essential not just for progressive metal fans, but for music fans everywhere. |

| At the Drive-In Acrobatic Tenement | 3.0 |
| At the Drive-In Relationship of Command | 4.5 |
| It took me a really long time to get into this album, almost too long. Upon my first listen, I found this to be one of my favorite albums. This albums is one of the best post hardcore albums I've heard. The singing was gut wrenching at first listen, but after I got used to it, I loved the sound of it. |

I thought I heard the door open, OH NO! thought I heard the door open but I only heard it close. I thought I heard a plane, crashing. But now I think it was your passion snap-ing. I think you saw me, confronting my fear, it went up with the bottle and went down with the beer and. I think you outta stay away from here there are ghosts in the walls and they crawl in your head through your ears. I think I saw you in my sleep, LOVER, I think I saw you in my dreams you were stitching up the seams on every mangled promise that your body couldn't keep. I think I...saw you in my...dreams.

| Rain Dogs has got to be the most interesting album I've ever heard, it's definitely unlike anything I've ever heard. Tom Waits's vocals are ragged and rough, but also quite tolerable to listen to. I found every second of the album to be enjoyable and smiled through the entire thing. |
