The Letter Black Pain
In a day when it seems that so many rock bands get progressively softer it's so refreshing to get an album that is actually heavier than previous records. Pain is less melodic than past efforts but the more staccato feel seems to work better for them. It's not a perfect album but it's a fantastic step in the right direction.

We Are The Fallen Tear The World Down
We As Human We As Human
We As Human have yet to redefine the rock genre. However, they have put together a great collection of rock songs that are cohesive without all sounding exactly the same. Thankfully, the album has only one ballad, which also serves as the worst song on the disc. Another minus is that some of the music is plagued by cheesy lyrics and a style that's just a little too safe sometimes. Ultimately, these guys show potential and their next album will prove whether they confine themselves to generic radio rock or if they can bring their creativity to a higher level.

Overall Disciple does well on this album in creating 11 catchy new tunes. While the softer songs are mostly done well, they cause the album to suffer as Disciple is meant to be a rock band and not the next Mercy Me.

Icon For Hire Icon for Hire
Scripted was a great rock album with a bit of a pop twist to it. Their self-titled release is a pop/hip-hop album with some rock flavoring. While I commend them for trying something different, this new sound is not nearly as satisfying. Unfortunately they've turned away from what they had mostly right the first time through. While this isn't a bad album, it's far from being the worthy successor to their first.

Becoming The Archetype The Physics of Fire
Creed Greatest Hits
Demon Hunter Outlive
Demon Hunter has assembled a bland collection of lethargic rock tunes into an album that is a rglaring low point in their discography. "Jesus Wept," "Cold Blood" and "One Less" are the only routstanding rtracks.
Demon Hunter Peace
Demon Hunter There Was a Light Here
There Was A Light Here is a charcuterie board of Demon Hunter's various styles. It's a distinct improvement over the boring slog fest of Exile. However, much of the record feels starved for energy. Perhaps the biggest critique of the album is simply that the first seven releases (Self-titled through Extremist) were so much better.

The Letter Black Rebuild
The Letter Black seems content to caterwaul their way through songs with unoriginal and hoaky lyrics.Thankfully there are some highlights on the album that bring its rating up some. Sick Charade, Smothering Walls, Devil on Your Back and Branded are some of the stronger tracks on this album. However, after listening through the disc several times, one can't help but feel that this could have been a lot better.

Demon Hunter Exile
Exile replaces Outlive as Demon Hunter's most lethargic and bland album in their catalog. It's not that any one track on Exile is particularly horrible but rather that the ballad heavy, meandering, often lifeless collection of tunes render a listening experience that is burdensome and unengaging.
