Trivium Silence in the Snow
This is just there at 3.5, a bit of a stretch. I am not in any way trying to get on the band for anything. I even defended Vengeance Falls, there is something weird with this album. Like when I heard Silence in the Snow (song) and Blind Leading the Blind, there was some hope. Sure it wasn't Trivium of the past, but it showed some evolution (matt's singing mostly) and I was looking forward to it. Well, there are certainly some standouts for me besides the two singles (The Ghost That's Haunting You and Breathe In The Flames), and some in betweeners, but this overall wasn't the full evolution I wasn't hoping for. Now yes I loved Heafy's screams 		3.5

Iron Maiden The Book of Souls
Truly, a wonderful Iron Maiden album, better than The Final Frontier, and their best since Bruce rejoined the
band with Brave New World as previously mentioned. Every song is very solid, and has vigor that Iron Maiden
hasn't showed in a while. Tremendous guitar work, instrumentation and vocals on this album, very impressed.
Various tempo changes, surprises (as previously mentioned again), melodies, layering and just everything that
make this great. Standout tracks for me are If Eternity Should Fail (just get past the beginning), The Red and The
Black, The Book of Souls, and Empire of the Clouds. Empire 		4.5

Bullet for My Valentine Venom
I believe this is the best effort BFMV has released since SAF, and beats that record in certain aspects (but not all). Temper Temper only had a few decent songs, and Fever and SAF had great songs with a few fillers. Venom doesn't feel fillerish. It shows the return of outstanding muscianship from all of the guys. No Way Out, The Harder The Heart (The Harder It Breaks), and Skin are all stand out tracks for me, but the entire album is really good. Venom has to be one of the best tracks they've written, feels like the proper continuation of Tears Dont Fall, overall best album they've written in a while! It won't match The Poison, but honestly, 		4.5

Muse Drones
Dead Inside is great, very Undisclosed Desires like. Pyscho is alright, I love the riff, just don't love that it repeats over and over again, but maybe thats how its supposed to be story wise? Mercy is a grower, but essentially Starlight like. Reapers is super kick ass, very much what I wanted to hear. The Handler is one of the best songs on this album, very dark and very old Muse like. Defector is like heavy muse playing with Queen, love it. I might change my opinion, but for now, Revolt isn't good at all. Extremely poppy. Revolting doesn't sound like that. Aftermath is haunting and heavenly, totally wedding like and its great. The Globalist		4.0
