| Refused Freedom | 1.0 |
Possibly the most disappointing album I've ever heard. Refused's attempts at experimentalism and restraint
come out sounding clumsy and overdrawn and yet even worse are their bouts of impotent rage. With the loss of
Jon Brannstrom, Refused has lost the dynamic guitar riffs and sample manipulation that made them special, and
traded them in for studio polish and inept blues riffs. (It sucks.) |

Brainiac has been called the most underrated band ever, and their influence has been attributed to bands such as At the Drive-in, The Blood Brothers and The Locust. Making use of an insane assortment of effects, Brainiac's twisted sense of song-writing is inherently inaccessible, completely ridiculous, but absolutely incredible. |

| While Why?'s music generally tends to fall under the umbrella of trip-hop or indie-rock, the range of emotions they're able to convey while adhering to those two styles (whether intentional or not) is impressive. Elephant Eyelash is at times one of the cheeriest, most cathartic albums, and at others is downright melancholy. |

| Musical taste is subjective, and Crimes is proof.

Fuzzed out bass lines, killer punk riffs and strangely baroque sensibilities make this one of post-hardcore's strangest gems. |

Sometimes you wonder just how far Screamo can go without being batshit insane like CTTS or
mellowing out and trying a more melodic approach like La Dispute. And then there's Loma

you don't think twice about it. |

| At the Drive-In In/Casino/Out | 5.0 |
| If you asked me, I would probably tell you this is my favourite ATDI album. While Relationship of Command is a masterstroke in it's own right, in/Casino/Out embodies a whole different set of emotions, with the infinitely catchy, almost pop-punk style of For Now... We Toast or Hulahoop Wounds and the funky aggression of Chanbara, it's extremely well rounded and more importantly, extremely well written. |
| At the Drive-In Relationship of Command | 5.0 |
| At the Drive-in pretty much renders most punk bands obsolete. Between this, in/Casino/Out and Vaya, they've made a godly triangle of post-hardcore albums that almost can't be beat. |
| Architecture In Helsinki In Case We Die | 5.0 |
| Oddly bitter pop music with a sweet candy coating. In Case We Die has it's detractors, but there's a lot of genuinely fantastic pop here once you can get behind Cameron Bird's off-kilter vocal delivery. |

| Catchy rhythmic dissonance, killer hardcore riff's, oddly melodic passages and one of the most original vocal duo's ever make Burn Piano Island, Burn a modern punk masterpiece. Mathy, catchy, noisy, melodic, what the Blood Brothers have on display is full of contradictions and disparate influences, but ultimately works to create a sound that might never be achieved again. |
