Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicBetween the Buried and Me ColorsMy favourite album of all-time and the only one among the ones to which I gave 5,0 that is an actual 5,0. / Favourite tracks: Ants of the Sky, White Walls / True rating: 5,0Harmonium Les Cinq SaisonsQuebec progressive folk at its best. This album defines where I'm from as a whole. / Favourite track: Histoires sans paroles / True rating: 4,9The Faceless Planetary DualityThe riffs on this one are simply amazing. I was disappointed Autotheism was so different from this album when it came out. / Favourite tracks: Legion of the Serpent, XenoChrist / True rating: 4,84.5 superbAlcest Écailles De LuneThe album that made me like both black metal, and blackgaze. / Favourite tracks: Ecailles de Lune / True rating: 4,3Between the Buried and Me The Parallax II: Future SequenceAOTY 2012. I discovered BTBAM with The Parallax EP (yeah, right, what the fuck?) so this is the first BTBAM record that I had to wait for. I was really excited about it being a sequel to the EP and it truly delivered. / Favourite tracks: Silent Flight Parliament, Melting City / True rating: 4,7Deafheaven SunbatherMy new definition of blackgaze. / Favourite tracks: Dream House, The Pecan Tree / True rating: 4,3Porcupine Tree In AbsentiaThis is album has it all, except a stellar 10+ minutes progressive journey like all the other major PT albums have. UTD had Burning Sky, TSMS had the title tracks, Signify had Dark Matter, LBS had Russia on Ice, DW has Arriving..., FOABP has Anesthetize, TI has Time Flies. Still a remarquable album though, even if some of the tracks have a pop vibe (Trains, Sound of Muzak, Blackest Eyes). / Favourite tracks: Prodigal, Heartattack in a Layby / True rating: 4,6Porcupine Tree DeadwingMy favourite Porcupine Tree's album and, considering their whole discography and how I enjoy (almost) all the albums, this is something. / Favourite track: Arriving Somewhere But Not Here / True rating: 4,7Protest the Hero KeziaSaw the album live a couple of days ago for the Kezia X tour. One of the best show I had the chance to see. Rody was hilarious as always and it was good to see Arif and Moe for the first time. Pits were insane, I got headbutted in the face during Bury the Hatchet, it was bleeding like hell but it was all fair. / Favourite track: Blindfolds Aside / True rating: 4,4Protest the Hero FortressDiscovered the band with this album so it brings this nostalgic feeling every time I give it a go. Only slightly better than Kezia. / Favourite tracks: Sequoia Throne, SpoilsSteven Wilson Hand. Cannot. Erase.AOTY 2015. Porcupine Tree was one of my favourite bands but I was having a hard time enjoying Wilson's other projects as much as I enjoyed PT's albums. This one is different, definitely one of my favourite albums from him, up there with Deadwing, In Absentia and the likes. / Favourite track: Ancestral / True rating: 4,7Trivium AscendancyI wish I would have listened to this in 2005 instead of Metallica and Billy Talent. / Favourite tracks: Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr, A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation / True rating: 4,64.0 excellentAlcest Souvenirs D'Un Autre MondeTitle track has to be one the most soothing track ever made. / Favourite track: Souvenirs d'un autre monde / True rating: 4,1Between the Buried and Me AlaskaI'm way more attracted towards modern proggy space adventures. / Favourite tracks: Backwards Marathon, Selkies: The Endless Obsession / True rating: 3,8Between the Buried and Me The Great MisdirectIt tries too hard to be Colors II but fails. / Favourite tracks: Obfuscation, Swim to the Moon / True rating: 3,8Between the Buried and Me The Parallax: Hypersleep DialoguesI had to wait about half an hour for my bus. I entered the Archambault (Quebec music/movie/book store) right behind the bus stop. I was strolling in the aisles, not searching for anything in particular. The only thing I really wanted was for these 30 minutes to pass so I go back home. But then it struck me. For some reason, the cover of the EP asked me to pick it up. I didn't know at all what it was except that it was classified as 'metal' by Archambault personnel that normally know nothing about all that is not french radio-friendly songs. So I bought it and here we are, 4 years later. I still listen to this album from times to times but BTBAM as a whole grew to become one of my favourite albums. I listen to their music on a daily basis. All thanks to those mysterious atomic flies on the cover of The Parallax. / Favourite tracks: Specular Reflection / True rating: 3,9Between the Buried and Me Coma EclipticWas I expecting The Parallax III or Colors II? Yeah. Was I expecting an album to at least sounded like what BTBAM did in the past? Yeah. Did I get that? Not at all. Is it good anyway? Fuck yeah. / Favourite track: King Redeem / Queen Serene / True rating: 4,2Harmonium HarmoniumThe eponym debut album by proggresive folk master Serge Fiori. It is basically an hymn to the province of Quebec. / Favourite tracks: Un musicien parmi tant d'autres, Harmonium / True rating: 4,0Harmonium L'heptadeWay more psychedelic and progressive than the previous album, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but there are some parts that are less refined and less enjoyable. / Favourite track: Le premier ciel / True rating: 4,2Porcupine Tree SignifyUnique ambiance for a Porcupine Tree's album. No track really stand out to me but the album is excellent as a whole. / Favourite track: Waiting / True rating: 4,2Porcupine Tree Stupid DreamWould have been 4,3 or 4,4 if the full version of Even Less would have taken the place of the short version of Even Less and Piano Lessons. / Favourite tracks: A Smart Kid, Even Less / True rating: 4,0Porcupine Tree Up the DownstairI have absolutely no clue why I like this album so much. It just flows so well. / Favourite tracks: Fadeaway, Synesthesia / True rating: 4,0Porcupine Tree The Sky Moves SidewaysModern Pink Floyd. / Favourite track: The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One) / True rating: 3,9Porcupine Tree Fear of a Blank PlanetThe last excellent album of Wilson until Hand. Cannot. Erase. Thank god for Hand. Cannot. Erase., the wait was un-fucking-bearable. / Favourite track: Anesthetize / True rating: 4,0Porcupine Tree Nil RecurringIt's a EP made of B-sides and it still is better than most bands LPs. / Favourite track: Normal / True rating: 3,8Protest the Hero VolitionA big step forward from Scurrilous but still a let down compared to Fortress and Kezia. Moe is missed on drums. / Favourite tracks: Yellow Teeth, Mist / True rating: 4,0The Dillinger Escape Plan Miss MachineI understand that Calculating Infinity defined the mathcore movement but, to me, Miss Machine is more refined version of their brutal and unpolished debut album. / Favourite tracks: Baby's First Coffin, Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants / True rating: 4,13.5 greatAlcest Les Voyages De L'ÂmeHuge deception after the other two albums. / Favourite track: Autre temps / True rating: 3,4Porcupine Tree Lightbulb SunHeartbreaking. / Favourite track: Russia on Ice / True rating: 3,6Porcupine Tree The IncidentBig letdown. Some parts are so long and never deliver. / Favourite tracks: Time Flies, I Drive the Hearse / True rating: 3,5Protest the Hero ScurrilousFavourite tracks: Tongue-Splitter, The Reign of Unending Terror / True rating: 3,6Steven Wilson The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)Nice old prog vibe. / Favourite track: Drive Home / True rating: 3,5The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating InfinityFavourite tracks: The Running Board, Clip the Apex...Accept Instruction / True rating: 3,7The Dillinger Escape Plan Option ParalysisFavourite track: Farewell, Mona Lisa / True rating: 3,7The Dillinger Escape Plan One of Us Is the KillerFavourite tracks: Nothing's Funny, One of Us Is the Killer / True rating: 3,43.0 goodBetween the Buried and Me Between the Buried and MeFavourite track: Aspirations / True rating: 2,8 Between the Buried and Me The Silent CircusFavourite tracks: Ad a Dglgmut, Mordecai / True rating: 3,22.5 averagePorcupine Tree On the Sunday of LifeFavourite tracks: Nine Cats, Radioactive Toy / True rating: 2,7Protest the Hero A Calculated Use of SoundFavourite track: Led Astray / True rating: 2,4 The Dillinger Escape Plan Ire WorksFavourite tracks: Milk Lizard, Black Bubblegum / True rating: 2,6
