Albums That Took Me By Storm
albums I've walked into and have been blown away, for one reason or another |
| 1 |  | Amber Daybreak
Sentinels
really really good screamo that toys a lot with dynamics and tempo changes |
| 2 |  | Amia Venera Landscape
The Long Procession
debut album that does everything right to distinguish itself from other metalcore contemporaries, this is how it's done |
| 3 |  | Armchairpolitician
Seven Segment Decoder
post hardcore essential |
| 4 |  | Bomb the Music Industry!
Goodbye Cool World
"'Cause when your ear's put down to the bottom of the street
You can't dance, man, it's really hard to move your feet.
Shut up, shut up and say, shut up, shut up and say
It's not that bad.
I mean it's obvious that something isn't right
But if ignorance is bliss would you rather smile or fight?
Well, I'll take fight." |
| 5 |  | Bon Iver
For Emma, Forever Ago
so... sad... |
