That Chimaira album being there must have been a mistake. I'm surprised they were able to scan the barcode

I got into a lot of metal back then through their store. Children of Bodom, Decapitated, The Red Chord… different times haha

Album Rating: 4.5

As much as it's amazing to have access to anything online, it used to be so cool to stumble onto something in a store or wherever. I remember finding a SUNN O))) cd at my library when I was in like 8th grade, bringing it home and being like wtf is this shit hahah.



I guess you can still get that feeling at record stores, but relationships with physical media, and albums in general, are so different now.

Lazarus is a grower. What a banger!

Album Rating: 2.5

Can't stand this album. Almost all songs follow the tired and predictable 3 chorus routine.

When I for example look at Lamb Of God, I have 2 albums of them (As The Palaces Burn and Ashes Of the Wake), they rarely do that in those 2 albums, there are always some nice twists to keep the songs fresh.

At least that band tried to do something different in their songs and not go the easiest path like Chimaira did here



this one here is just frustrating to listen to. Too many pop song structures. Well...they were once a nu metal band that might explains it (although there are a few well structured nu metal albums like Nothingface - Violence).



I love the song structures of bands like Meshuggah, Textures (Silhouettes & Drawing Circles) and Gojira (From Mars To Sirius & The Way Of All Flesh) for example, there can't be enough metal bands like those.

Or Suffocation's Pierced From Within to name one more.



This album here is metal for the ambition-less. Having almost all songs over 5 minutes doesn't make it creative, experimental, less poppy etc.

Nothing Remains and Lazarus were sick back in the day

That little switch in when the main riff is accented on Nothing Remains is so satisfying

Album Rating: 4.0

The riff about 40 seconds in to Save Ourselves is so simple but it makes me pull a hard "riff appreciation" stank face so bad

Album Rating: 4.0

Inside the Horror has the best chugs ever.

Nothing Remains makes me wanna huff spray paint and sprint through a sheet rock wall

I must have listened to Nothing Remains like 1,000 times during my senior year of college. Some of Rob Arnold's finest work

"Nothing Remains and Inside the Horror are my stone cold classics from this."
