That second half is easily the better part of the album. "Never Be Mine" is the only track I'm not jiving with right now, and it's a shame none of the songs play with the same dreamy synths of the fantastic opener "Intern," but great album overall.Annihilator Alice in HellAtheist Unquestionable PresenceAutopsy Mental FuneralBathory Blood Fire DeathBatushka LitourgiyaBlack Sabbath Heaven and HellBlind Guardian Nightfall in Middle-EarthBob Dylan The Freewheelin' Bob DylanBrand New Deja EntenduBrian Fallon PainkillersBurzum Hvis Lyset Tar OssCamel MoonmadnessCandlemass Epicus Doomicus MetallicusCarcass Surgical SteelChelsea Wolfe Unknown Rooms: A Collection of Acoustic SongsChthe'ilist Le Dernier CrépusculeCity and Colour If I Should Go Before YouCryptopsy None So VileCynic FocusDarkthrone A Blaze in the Northern SkyDavid Bowie BlackstarDeafheaven SunbatherDeafheaven New BermudaDeath Individual Thought PatternsDeath SymbolicDestroyer 666 WildfireDiablo Swing Orchestra Pandora's PinataDio Holy DiverDodsferd Wastes of LifeThe closing track is one of the few (non-gaze) black metal songs I can truly call "beautiful".Dream Theater Six Degrees of Inner TurbulenceEthereal Shroud They Became the Falling AshFates Warning Theories of FlightFather John Misty I Love You, HoneybearFleet Foxes Fleet FoxesFleetwood Mac RumoursGenesis Selling England by the PoundGorguts Pleiades' DustHellhammer Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D.Horrendous EcdysisHoth OathbreakerIfing Against This WealdIn Flames The Jester RaceIngrid Michaelson Be OKVery much a guilty pleasure for me.

This is to black metal what Amon Amarth is to death metal-the riffing style is too melodic and based in traditional heavy metal to really qualify as black metal, but it expertly melds these epic melodies with a blackened aesthetic and intensity to make some seriously enjoyable metal.Slayer Reign in BloodSoundgarden SuperunknownSoundtrack (Television) Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along BlogSteven Wilson The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)Strapping Young Lad CitySun Worship Surpass EclipseThe Avalanches WildflowerThe Avett Brothers MignonetteThe Beatles RevolverThe Beatles Sgt.

Unfortunately, the drumming's pretty boring, and the vocalist sounds like a post-food-poisoning James LaBrie. The middle of the album's pretty decent, even if its instrumental is just an "Orion" wanna-be.Coldplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His FriendsDeftones GoreDream Theater Black Clouds and Silver LiningsDream Theater Dream TheaterDrudkh Autumn AuroraFallujah The Flesh PrevailsFoo Fighters Sonic HighwaysFoo Fighters Saint CeciliaGhost (SWE) MelioraJourney EscapeKesang Marstrand For My Love30 minutes of her lovely voice and gentle acoustic guitars. Nothing jumps out as exceptional, and there's very little creativity outside of the haunting electric instrumentation behind Walking Dream, but as a whole it's good enough for fans of early Ingrid Michaelson to enjoy.Lo-Ruhamah The Glory of GodLord Lovidicus The Forges FireMegadeth DystopiaMesarthim IsolateMumford and Sons BabelMyrkur MyrkurOpeth OrchidOpeth Pale CommunionPorcupine Tree In AbsentiaREO Speedwagon The HitsRush Caress of SteelRush RushTame Impala CurrentsTesseracT PolarisThe Lion's Daughter Existence Is HorrorThe Sheepdogs Learn and BurnVoivod RRRÖÖÖAAARRRWitchcraft NucleusThe lead single "The Outcast" was amazing, but outside of the title track nothing else really jumps out.
