| Thousand Foot Krutch ranked
One of my favorite bands as a teenager. | | 1 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
Phenomenon
Alt/nu metal record with a sprinkle of hip-hop. Really stylistic but also quite catchy with good moments of heaviness. The anthemic nature of this album really sucks you in and makes you wanna sing along. I don't really like Rawkfist that much, but aside from that I Climb, Step to Me, Bounce, This is a Call, Faith Love and Happiness, Break the Silence, and Ordinary are all pretty solid tracks.
9/10 | | 2 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
The Flame in All of Us
Their heaviest album. A good alt-metal record with deep, bass-y riffs, good melodies, catchy hooks and good lyrics. Something about this album entices me to come back to it over and over again. It has a very alluring sound. Some of the later tracks are unmemorable however. Best songs are the title track, New Drug, Falls Apart, Favorite Disease, What Do We Know, The Safest Place, Wish You Well, Learn to Breathe.
8.5/10 | | 3 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
The End Is Where We Begin
A very fun rapcore album with elements of both rock and metal. Groovy, catchy, and an all around good time. Lyrics go from being good to very cheesy very fast however. Best songs are We Are, Light Up the Sky, The End is Where We Begin, I Get Wicked, Courtesy Call, Be Somebody, War of Change, and Down.
8/10 | | 4 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
The Art of Breaking
A moody rock/semi-metal album with good guitar riffs and some of their best lyrics. Very catchy, and full of good hooks. Something about it is kind of dry however, some songs could've used a little tweaking. This album's sound isn't the most unique. Best songs are Slow Bleed, Absolute, Breathe You In, Go, Stranger, Move, Hit the Floor.
7.5/10 | | 5 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
Welcome to the Masquerade
A nu-metal/alt metal album full of hooks and fun riffs. Although many songs are good tracks, the album as a whole feels like it has some fluff. A lot of this record blends in with itself. The album as a whole feels a little too familiar, and is a bit uninspired despite moments of goodness. E for Extinction is in their top 5 best songs however. Best tracks are the title track, E for Extinction, Bring Me to Life, Watching Over Me, The Part That Hurts the Most, Look Away, Forward Motion.

Set It Off (Remastered)
Incredibly cheesy and all too familiar sounding, featuring weak vocals are overly long songs. However, it is nonetheless quite catchy at times, featuring good hooks and fun, bouncy guitar riffs.
Best songs are Everyone Like Me, Rhime Animal, When In Doubt, Unbelievable, Upcomesdown, All the Way Live, Lift It.

Oxygen: Inhale
As much as I have a soft spot for this album, it is incredibly cheesy and all over the place. Ideas do not feel fully fleshed out and songs sound weird together/detached from each other on the album as a whole. I do enjoy the soft portions of some select songs however.
Best tracks: Untraveled Road, Born This Way, Set Me on Fire, I See Red, Oxygen
6.5/10 | | 8 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
Exhale
The album feels very forced and contrived. Elements of rapcore are present but do not mix well with the Born This Way-like guitar riffs they were going for here. Choruses often ruin the buildup of songs and feel detached from the song itself. Lyrics are often quite cheesy. As a whole, the album feels uninspired and maybe even lazy.
Best songs: Running With Giants, Different Kind of Dynamite, Adrenaline, Honest

12.06.20 | GET READY FOR THE SMACK DOWN! | JoyfulPlatypus
12.06.20 | 3 was always a favorite of mine. | Emim
12.06.20 | Phenomenon is the only album I don't find myself skipping half the songs. Haven't listened to much after 5, but I might have to give 3 a shot if you put it that high. | MxL0
12.06.20 | @Emim Its lyrics are fairly cringey occasionally, but We Are, Be Somebody, Fly on the Wall, War of Change, Courtesy Call, So Far Gone, The End is Where We Begin, and Down are all serviceable. I hate how it gets trashed on for "cheese" when I've seen much cornier albums get better ratings. | Emim
12.07.20 | It wouldn't be a TFK album if it didn't make me cringe at least a little bit, lol | sharkshanna
12.07.20 | lol | MxL0
12.07.20 | @Emim yeah you got a point lol. That's what the "gangsta" like style does I guess.
Then again, Flame in All of Us and Phenomenon are mostly cheese free. | Lucman
12.07.20 | This is a solid ranking I *think* I'd go 5 > 1 > 4 > 2 > 3......
6 > 8 > 7 | Lucman
12.07.20 | "Art of Breaking" is their best song, that much I'm certain of. | MxL0
12.07.20 | Tbh that probably would've been my ranking more or less a year or two ago | Emim
12.07.20 | The guitar work in Art of Breaking is so good. | MxL0
12.07.20 | Hit the Floor has great guitar work too. | sharkshanna
12.07.20 | I would definitely put art of breaking higher. But I agree with 1 | heck
12.08.20 | genuinely surprised all the comments here are positive | bloodshy
12.08.20 | Hold up, wait a minute...
I remember seeing these guys live in a small venue. They were so perfect that I thought they were lip synching for the first few songs, until he did something weird and impossible to synch... blew my mind.
Apart from being amazing live, they're sort of okay at songs. | Lucman
12.08.20 | These guys, Kutless, and Skillet were IT in Christian rock in the 2000s. For a short time was cool to like CCM. | heck
12.08.20 | skillet has never been cool | Emim
12.08.20 | When Comatose came out they were pretty well received. | Lucman
12.08.20 | Oh, I know sooooo many who'd disagree (P.S. but I agree wholeheartedly) | bloodshy
12.08.20 | All my friends back in the day were listening to Blindside, Embodyment, and Demon Hunter. | Lucman
12.08.20 | Mmhmm. Flyleaf was massive too. It was a much different time. | MxL0
12.08.20 | @heck wdym? Because its TFK? Yeah I guess thats strange.
Yeah and Skillet def hasn't held up over the years. Definitely a singles band. I don't even like half of Comatose that much. Collide is their best work imo. | Lucman
12.08.20 | The only song I've really ever loved by Skillet is "Those Nights." Don't know why to be honest, it just clicked with me. | Emim
12.08.20 | There definitely were a lot of Christian or Christian-adjacent bands in the mainstream back then. Switchfoot, P.O.D., Reliant K, Anberlin, etc. The trend continued up into the metalcore scene too (though a lot more of those seemed to be trend-hoppers more than anything). | MxL0
12.08.20 | Only a handful were any good unfortunately. :/
I mean, I don't care what you believe as long as its well written. But omg, half of those 90's Christian bands were basically just reading the bible for their choruses. | heck
12.08.20 | skillet does not have a single good song
"All my friends back in the day were listening to Blindside, Embodyment, and Demon Hunter."
Blindside was so good, I have a soft spot for Demon Hunter too
P.O.D. was also the shit | Lucman
12.08.20 | The cringy Christianeze is why I don't jam many of them anymore lol | Emim
12.08.20 | "Only a handful were any good unfortunately. :/"
That's where you're wrong, kiddo. Sure there is plenty of cliche CCM stuff, but past that is a whole treasure trove of "Christian" rock and metal (and hip hop). | heck
12.08.20 | can't mention christian metal without mentioning Living Sacrifice and Extol | MxL0
12.08.20 | Yeah I guess you're right, there's probably good ones out there I don't know about. RED is a great example. | Emim
12.08.20 | LS and Extol are two of the goats, for sure | Lucman
12.08.20 | Showbread is probably the band that has aged the best for me. Definitely recommend them. | heck
12.08.20 | Emery's a good'n | sharkshanna
12.08.20 | Showbread was dope. Saw them a couple of times. I only reaalllyy like Skillet’s Alien Youth. I mean there was a time I jammed to this stuff but I don’t think I could go for it nowadays. Except maybe showbread tbh | bloodshy
12.08.20 | Zao sounds better the older they get. Also, if you guys haven't heard The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole by Trenches, you're missing out. |
