Haven't Been Around For Awhile
title says it all, list is a bunch of songs/albums/bands that are excellent and that you should like too |
| 1 |  | Dangers
Anger
An excellent album with excellent songs by an excellent band. If you get any sort of boner for hardcore, this is a MUST. Listen to "Power Chord Blues," "Half Brother, All Cop," and "We Have More Sense Than Lies" |
| 2 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
Calculating Infinity
Brilliant technicality without ever getting stale. Assuming you've heard this, so play "Sugar Coated Sour" and "43% Burnt" for me. |
| 3 |  | A Wilhelm Scream
Career Suicide
Essential shredtastic punk. Listen to "The Horse" and "We Built This City! (On Debts and Booze)" |
| 4 |  | Kerouac
Cold and Distant, Not Loving
Unfortunately they broke up, but you can still listen to "Little Mountains We Move" and thank me |
| 5 |  | Daughters
Daughters
A glorious breath of fresh air. "The First Supper" and "The Hit" for the RIFFFS |
| 6 |  | SikTh
Death of a Dead Day
See 2! "Bland Street Bloom" and "Another Sinking Ship" |
| 7 |  | Deftones
Diamond Eyes
This was the biggest grower I've ever had the pleasure of loving. "Prince" is flawless. |
| 8 |  | The Fall of Troy
Doppelganger
One of the only Post Hardcore albums I've ever loved. "FCPREMIX" slays for days |
| 9 |  | Streetlight Manifesto
Everything Goes Numb
Probably have listened to this at least once a week for the past 3 years. "We Are The Few," "A Moment of Silence/Violence," and "A Better Place, A Better Time" are classics. |
| 10 |  | Bon Iver
For Emma, Forever Ago
"c'mmmmmmmmmon Skinny Love......" |
| 11 |  | Bomb the Music Industry!
Goodbye Cool World
This could really be any BtMI! album, but this one has "Side Projects Are Never Successful" |
| 12 |  | Giant Squid
The Ichthyologist
Love this so much I didn't even need to look at the title for spelling. "Throwing a Donner Party at Sea" and "Sevengill" are breathtaking |
| 13 |  | The Secret
Luce
So underrated. "Fire Isn't Always Meant to Burn" |
| 14 |  | RX Bandits
Mandala
This stuck to me since day 1. "It's Only a Parsec..." and "Hope is a Butterfly, No Net Its Captor" |
| 15 |  | Titus Andronicus
The Monitor
Another huge grower, also the first indie album I ever really enjoyed front to back. "The Battle of Hampton Roads" obviously |
| 16 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave
fell in love to this album once. "The Gardner" could be the best folk song |
| 17 |  | System of a Down
System of a Down
Before they tried to hard. "War?" and "Mind" |
| 18 |  | Poison the Well
The Tropic Rot
Metalcore done perfect. "Antarctica Inside Me" and "Cinema" bleed emotion |
| 19 |  | The State Lottery
When the Night Comes
"Coming Alive" will never ever get old |
| 20 |  | Youth Lagoon
The Year of Hibernation
Perhaps the most recent album to hit me HARD. "Montana" and "Seventeen" are revelations. |
