"Vital" succeeds in all levels, and cemented Anberlin as one one of my favorite bands.Arcade Fire FuneralArcade Fire Neon BibleArcade Fire The SuburbsArcade Fire ReflektorArctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotBloc Party Silent AlarmBrand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside MeBright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's MorningDavid Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From MarsDeath From Above 1979 The Physical WorldFranz Ferdinand You Could Have It So Much BetterMy introduction to Franz Ferdinand, and an outstanding albumKashiwa Daisuke Program Music IMr. Bungle CaliforniaMuse Origin of SymmetryNeutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the SeaAn album that is hard to get into yet extremely rewarding after a few listensNine Inch Nails The Downward SpiralAs sad and brutal as it is interesting, "The Downward Spiral" rightfully earns its place as one of the best albums ever. The way Trent Reznor tells the story of a man losing all will to live is intense and haunting. An album that should not be overlookedNine Inch Nails Year ZeroOne of the best concept albums I've ever heard. It also had one of the best campaigns in history. If you don't know about it you should look it upPink Floyd The WallPorcupine Tree Lightbulb Sun"Lightbulb Sun" is just one of those albums that I can't complain about, I dare even say it is perfect.rPortugal. The Man Censored ColorsAs it stands, Censored Colors is both one of P. the M's most overlooked releases and one of their finest. Everything from the expansive opener to the sprawling closing track marks the bands most ambitious and varied release to date, something that might alienate people who like their Portugal more straightforward but sure as hell is a treat to any fan worth their salt.Queens of the Stone Age Rated RAn album that strikes the perfect balance between QOTSA's dark stoner rock and their lighter material, a perfect introduction for anyone wanting to know what they are all about, and an overall fantastic sophomore.Radiohead The BendsThis album. Oh god this album. Every song is great in its own right. Great music. Great lyrics. Great bandRadiohead In RainbowsIt's hard to say why I like this album so much, but I think it might be that it serves as a bridge of sorts between "Ok Computer"-era Radiohead and "Kid A"-era Radiohead. Or maybe it's just that it is fahking good. Either way, give it a listenStars In Our Bedroom After The WarThis album makes me so happy. Every song succeeds in its own level and their is a great air of creativity around the whole thing. But more importantly, it just comes together, making the album as a whole a soothing and invigorating experience. The vocals are joyous, the lyrics are upbeat and inspirational, and the instrumentation is spot on. If an all-out war did break out, this is what I would listen to to get me through the gloom timesSufjan Stevens IllinoisSufjan Stevens The Age of AdzSufjan Stevens Carrie and LowellSwans To Be KindThe Antlers HospiceThe Dear Hunter Act II: The Meaning of, & All Things Regarding Ms. LeadingThe Dear Hunter Act IV: Rebirth in RepriseThe Dear Hunter Act V: Hymns with the Devil in ConfessionalThe Decemberists PicaresqueThe Joy Formidable Wolf's LawTruly an overlooked gem. Expansive and epic, the album grabs you and doesn't let go all the way through. The guitar work is impressive, the lyrics are great, there's a lot of variety, and is in general, just greatThe Mars Volta Frances the MuteThird Eye Blind Third Eye BlindTool LateralusThis album is an embodiment of a dream, at times creepy and hard to understand, but always meaningful. Tool's Lateralus may not be the best record I've ever heard but it is certainly the most interesting. There's always something around the corner, the Fibonacci sequence, the rearrenged song order. The eerie closer track. This is one of those albums it's hard to stop talking about, and is probably Tool's greatest work to date.Tool ÆnimaWeezer PinkertonxSPONGEXCOREx How Tough Are Yah?Zoe Reptilectric4.5 superbalt-J An Awesome WaveThe perfect balance between intelligent and catchy, an awesome wave is the debut of a band to watchalt-J This Is All YoursArctic Monkeys Favourite Worst NightmareArctic Monkeys AMAudioslave AudioslaveAn album that succeeds on several levels, if you're interested in anything Chris Cornell has made, do check it outBeck GueroCage The Elephant MelophobiaCake Comfort EagleCoheed and Cambria From Fear Through the Eyes of MadnessDead Sara Dead SaraI'm so glad I discovered this band, this is a debut done right.El-Creepo!

His brand of Hip-hop is a smart one, he sings about things that are important and no other popular rappers seem to address. All of this is accompanied by Ryan Lewis's great beats. All in all, this people are the proof that hip-hop is a genre that can be as valid and intelligent as any other, definitely give it a listen.Manchester Orchestra I'm Like a Virgin Losing a ChildManchester Orchestra Mean Everything to NothingManchester Orchestra Simple MathMenomena MomsExcellent lyrics and very solid instrumentation come together to bring us "Moms", at times a crushingly depressing album, but always an excelent listenMorning Parade Morning ParadeOne of those obscure bands I'm glad I found out about, this is some great IndieMr. Bungle Disco VolanteMuse AbsolutionMuse Black Holes & RevelationsA divisive album in Muse's discography. I personally love it, as it has some of Muse's best songs and is very well put together.Mutemath ArmisticeEvery song in this album is great in its own right. The music is spot on. The lyrics have some of my favorite lines and the album, in its entirety is memorable and enjoyable.Neon Trees Pop PsychologyNine Inch Nails The FragileNine Inch Nails Ghosts I-IVAn album that showcases Trent Reznor's musical talent, "Ghosts I-IV" showcases many different musica styles, from quieter piano pieces, to extremely heavy industrial music, to dancier tunes. All in all, it's very hard to not find something to like about this album.Nirvana NevermindY'know, it's a considered a classic for a reasonPink Floyd The Dark Side Of The MoonPink Floyd Wish You Were HerePink Floyd The Division BellPlacebo Without You I'm NothingPlacebo Sleeping with GhostsPlacebo Battle for the SunPlacebo Loud Like LovePolkadot Cadaver Sex OffenderPorcupine Tree In AbsentiaPorcupine Tree Stupid DreamPorcupine Tree DeadwingPorcupine Tree Fear of a Blank PlanetPorcupine Tree The IncidentPortugal.

Cannot. Erase.Sufjan Stevens MichiganSufjan Stevens Seven SwansSufjan Stevens The BQEThe Dear Hunter The Color SpectrumThe Dear Hunter The Color Spectrum (Complete Collection)The Color Spectrum is one of those massive albums. Even if I lived in an alternate universe in which I didn't love it. I'd have to give it a high rating, because it's not every day that someone has the balls to make a concept album tackling something as universal and vast as the fucking color spectrum, and it is an even rarer occurrence that the album succeeds greatly. Delivering a steady stream of quality and variety on each of the three discs. Within the 36 tracks contained, there is something for everyone. The problem with this is that the album, at times feels too thinly spread, and you'll find yourself wishing that there was more of one thing or less of another. But, in the end, it's a very interesting and ambitious album, that should definitely appeal to fans, newcomers, and complete strangers alikeThe Decemberists The TainThe Decemberists The Hazards of LoveThe Decemberists We All Raise Our Voices to the AirThe Decemberists What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful WorldThe Hives Tyrannosaurus HivesThe Hives Black and White AlbumThe Kills Midnight BoomThe Kills Blood PressuresThis is just one of those albums that you can't pause once you start playing it. Alison Mosshart's voice is sexy as hell and goes perfectly with the music. This is the sort of album where every song could be a single.The National Trouble Will Find MeThe Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite SadnessThe Smashing Pumpkins Siamese DreamThe Sounds Something to Die ForTool OpiateTool 10,000 DaysVampire Weekend Modern Vampires of the CityWeezer WeezerWeezer Everything Will Be Alright in the End4.0 excellentAkira the Don When We Were YoungAn overall great indie pop/hip-hop album, with a few excellent tracks and a few not as good, a worthy addition to any music libraryArctic Monkeys HumbugBastille Bad BloodA couple of lyrical black holes aside, a very fun album. If, say, Radiohead is haute french cuisine, this would be cheap, yet delicious pepperoni pizzaBroken Bells Broken BellsDanger Mouse always manages to bring out the best in any artist, himself and James Mercer debuting as Broken Bells is no exception, as Brian and James craft fantastically expansive indie songs with great hooks. Brian's dreamy and somewhat poppy melodies are complemented perfectly by James's vocals, creating a record that leaves a great first impression and continues to grow on oneCage The Elephant Cage the ElephantCake Fashion NuggetCake Prolonging The MagicChris Cornell ScreamCoheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3FIDLAR FIDLARAn amazing album if you can get into the right mindset, a band that has a shitload of fun with their music, definitely give it a tryFranz Ferdinand Franz FerdinandGodspeed You! Black Emperor Yanqui U.X.O.Hole Live Through ThisInterpol Our Love to AdmireKasabian EmpireKing Crimson In the Court of the Crimson KingLinkin Park A Thousand SunsI do not know why this album is so overlooked, perhaps it is because of Linkin Park's track record as a meh band. But anyhow, this album has a great sense of flow to it, with songs like the epic "Burning in the Skies" showing a more sensible side to the album whilst "When They Come for Me" and "Wretches and Kings" may appeal to fans of Linkin Park's debut and sophomore, this album is a journey, and while it may have a little too much bullshit (the transitional tracks) what's in there really hits hard. Definitely give it a listen.Manchester Orchestra CopeMGMT Oracular SpectacularA trippy, yet accessible album by a very interesting act.

The opener, with its catchy chorus and electronic sound could have been on Sleeping With Ghosts, The Extra could have fit on Black Market Music, and slow-burner Time is Money would have sit comfortably next to Pierrot the Clown on Meds, the only track that feels out of place is the Minxus cover (the collaboration the world was waiting for, apparently), but other than that B3EP is a nice return to form and a good listen for fans and newcomers alikePorcupine Tree Voyage 34: The Complete TripAn intense trip as seen through the mind of Steven Wilson. If that sentence is enough to get you to listen to "Voyage 34", this is your album. As a whole, it's 4 tracks are heavy and inaccessible but great if you can get into the right mindset. Not a must-listen for anyone, just for fans of either the genre or the bandPortugal. The Man The Satanic SatanistIt's not often that one finds an album that has no bad songs. This is the case with "The Satanic Satanist". I love every song on this album and you should buy it. NowPortugal.

The Album as a whole can be a great introduction to Suede's work as it plays like a catalogue of their variety of styles, from the grandiose psychedelia of "Hit Me" to the quiet and extremely dramatic "What Are You Not Telling Me". And while most songs on the album are good on their own right, the work is not cohesive enough for me to really think of it as anything but a compilation of songs. But hey, Suede is back, motherfuckers!The Airborne Toxic Event All At OnceThe Dear Hunter Act I: The Lake South, the River NorthThe Dear Hunter Act III: Life and DeathThe Decemberists Castaways and CutoutsThe Decemberists The Crane WifeThe Decemberists The King Is DeadThe Hives Veni Vidi ViciousThe Joy Formidable The Big RoarThe Pretty Reckless Light Me UpThe Smashing Pumpkins AdoreThe Smashing Pumpkins OceaniaI did not expect the album to be THIS good, every song is beautiful and memorable in its own right.

Whilst songs like the opener "Song Against Sex" and its follow-up "You've Passed" are must-listens fro any NMH fan worth their salt, it's hard to find much to do with the rest of the songs. So, if you really liked the Aeroplane (like I did) do check it out but definitely adjust your expectations.Nine Inch Nails With TeethNine Inch Nails The SlipOrchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark English ElectricPearl Jam Pearl JamThis album just never did it for me, the beginning is great, but towards the end, the album kind of drags on.Placebo Black Market MusicQueens of the Stone Age Era VulgarisWhile not the stinker many make it out to be, still one of the weaker QOTSA albums and a disappointment for fansThe Airborne Toxic Event The Airborne Toxic EventThe Kills No WowThe Kills Keep On Your Mean SideTool UndertowWeezer The Green AlbumYeah Yeah Yeahs Fever To Tell3.0 goodAll Time Low Don't PanicCake Showroom Of CompassionCoheed and Cambria The Afterman: AscensionImagine Dragons Night VisionsLady Gaga Born This WayLinkin Park Hybrid TheoryQueens of the Stone Age Lullabies to ParalyzeA transitional album, et cetera: All in all, it has some great songs ("Little Sister" and "Burn the Witch" in particular) but is ultimately brought down by its lack of oomph and some awful songs near the end.

Wes Borland is pretty nice, but the painful lyrics and Fred Durst's horrible rapping make this album a skip-festThe Enemy (UK) Streets In The Sky"Saturday" and "Like a Dancer" are pretty good in my opinion, but the rest of the album ranges from forgettable ("Come Into my World", "This is Real") to bad ("It's a Race") to flat out, ear piercingly awful ("2 Kids").1.5 very poorLimp Bizkit Gold CobraOh boy oh girl, this shit is ear sodomy if I'v ever heard it, the last time I managed to sit through this album I actually started feeling nauseous.
