Uhh... One of the hardest sounds of all-time. rCan't believe it's just sitting here like this after all this time. They're more polished nowadays, but this is something different.

The Charme of Dominating's build section is thunderously adrenaline pumping. and the riffs that come in on the break have
to be some of the best I've heard. Can't get enough of it. Nighttime Poet, Daytime Dead ends similarly sick.

Whole album is awesome; its too bad their follow-ups didn't match this one.

Wish they put together more incredible tracks instead of great tracks with incredible sections but still doesn't get much better than this. I'll be repping this for a while.

Lyrre Not All Who Dream Are Asleep
Miss May I Curse of Existence
Yes, yes... Miss may i were scene band years ago... yes yes you think everyone dislikes them
now so this can't be good... yes yes... but then actually listen to it. Full songs, not just
weak choruses in the middle of poo piles. Sharp riffs, non-filler verses, non-self-pitying
lyrics, even a tasty solo thrown in here and there. Realistically, after releasing primarily
generic duds for the majority of their career, they made something different. Yes yes...
everyones taste is incredibly genuine... but come on now, think of how people will let their
taste be manipulated by social impressions - admit it. People think they should disrespect
this. But have some onions. This album is simply excellent. Really it's probably a 4.1, but
scadoosh... 4.5.

Ostraca Thread
Best stuff they've ever done far and away for me... I love the neorcrust-tinged hardcore
style... post-metal gets drawn out too much in general, but feels right mostly and sometimes
it's fking real. Comparatively, feels like very little is wasted here. 2nd half of
Enmiserate could be better. Wish Ganymede turned into a hardcore song after a couple minutes
but still strong for what it is - put that on my snooze playlist. Freedom from Pain is new
ancient savagery. And let's not forget Uncollected - chorus absolutely hits. Greater
Darkness has a couple really cool parts but mostly misses the mark and band's vocalist has
always rode the line of being able to carry a melody but has only gotten better and even the
cleans almost work in a gritty way.

If you want a standard screamo-fest, that's not here. But the evolution is visceral and
authentic, and in my opinion, it's been a long time coming. They've always teased, but to
me, this is the first time an Ostraca record really hit all the way.

AngelMaker Sanctum
AngelMaker This Used To Be Heaven
no no, this album is excellent. treads on both familiar and unfamiliar ground. good
instrumentals, good callbacks to some old tracks. only thing that still blows about it are
the deathcore junz-junz-wree sections, but now they're usually only like 20 seconds a song.
But cast those parts aside, at least four or five standout tracks. Their best album.
Bravo.

After a shit first single, album is a nice rebound. I don't dance is incredible and triste sire is a magnificent minute and a half gem, though it needed another minute. A couple lackluster tracks and not as high-paced as past releases, but its still my favorite release of the year.

It?s true the first half is much better than the second and it?s also true that they never really let it go hook wise. A bunch of songs that were screaming for a huge hook, but somehow it still has more than enough. Pale Horse and Hallucinations both elite. Nice to hear the screams on Wolves. Great hook on rabbit hole. Blood out in the fields was super interesting as well even though it never dropped like it should?ve. Still probably the best and most consistent rock band in the world right now.

Inherently excellent, but should be a lot better.How bout a blessed chorus, please? So sick
of these esoteric genres unrelenting need to avoid all formulaic structures. Its no good for
anybody, and it's why they all get tired. Enough whining and suffering for thirteen minutes
and just let it bang for four minutes, or the tears run dry with no triumph on the horizon.

Album tries to catch you off guard too much instead of embracing what might take it to another level, but when it hits, it hits just about perfect. Scythe is a good example of a great first half of the song followed by one of the most underwhelming ends to an album ever. Wake Circling Above has one of the best choruses I?ve ever heard.
Alta Rossa A Defiant Cure
This band is good enough to drop a 4.5 but i only liked 2 tracks on this. It's all heavy and there's enough diversity in the sound to make for an incredible album, but it stays too sludgy and not hardcore enough for my liking. rFrom this day on and the emperors slap tho.
ANCST Culture of Brutality
AngelMaker AngelMaker
Architects Hollow Crown
Architects Lost Forever // Lost Together
Architects All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
No Architects release as of yet had wowed me on first listen, but this did. It isn't necessarily that the album doesn't have its flaws - like most other Architects albums, it suffers from sounding a bit too similar throughout. The atmospherics and vocals blend in a way that make many tracks sound similar to one another. But that doesn't change the fact that they sound awesome, to me at least. What elevates this release above their others for me is the rhythm. Its more accessible, but its catchier and it prevents blandness in the verses. Many of the verses sound like builds, and almost all of the songs build to satisfyingly climaxes, where they're composing more and more melodies on top of one another. The end result is feeling swept up in the tracks the whole way through, gradually getting more and more enveloped by the atmospherics. By the time the last three tracks arrive, the lyrical content of the album has sufficient traction in my head to have me along for the lyrical ride of the last few tracks. Memento Mori closes it hugely, and perfectly.

Its possible the early high rating could drop, but I doubt it. I basically think Architects have been building to this, and they nailed it. Real happy they allowed themselves to be more accessible and drop some of the chaos to focus on melody and message. Hard to see me not jamming out pretty consistently to a bunch of tracks. Phantom Fear, All Love Is Lost, and Memento Mori hit me hardest on first listen.
Architects Holy Hell
straight-up superior mainstream metalcore at this point, no doubt. Thought I'd moved on, especially after the singles were shit and ticked me off, but album actually won me over. half of it still feels pretty grimy, but the other half or maybe a third feels very right. holy hell was the first keep for me, just barely made it. then dying to heal made the real claim. seventh circle wasn't a rehash. and a wasted hymn closed it well enough. emotions were definitely flowing by the end. though I admit there was a vast space for righteousness to lay hammer... maybe next time, on Architects... r

This is actually pretty great. Might even be pushed up to a 4. Not a lot of bullshit at all this time around, though I'm not a huge fan of the abundance of solos, but that's a preference of mine. Shadows' voice not being what it used to be holds the album back a bit overall cause he sings out of his range at times, but he still gets the job done for me. "God Damn" is god damn catchy, "Angels" is a solid ballad, "Sunny Disposition" even throws in a pretty phat brass instrument of some sort i believe for its chorus. Whole album adds a bit more mild thrash. And lyrics are just far better overall

Converge The Dusk in Us
Has some great moments. But ends up falling victim to the classic Converge, namely being unable to capitalize consistently on some incredibly teasing material. ra single tear has a good chorus. eye of the quarrel ends well. the dusk in us is almost great, and would be if the guy was actually a singer so that he could stretch himself and do the spoken word section well. Wildlife has a great chorus. Broken by Light has a hilarious breakdown riff at the end, but luckily it was only for 10 seconds and leads to the end of the song... cannibals is a solid track, but just that... classicly too good to not keep in your library, but not good enough to actually listen to... thousands of miles is a solid track too, again, if the vocalist could stretch, it would probably go places, but alas, another library benchwarmer. reptilian is basically a converge rendition of a metallica song that's almost as good as a good metallica song, but is just kinda boring. rStill good enough to listen to a whole bunch of times, but still 100% falls into the frustrating category of not being that good. Listening to about 6 of the tracks right now consistently, but if I were to guess, won't be listening to a single track next month. That's frustrating. rEve was still probably the best track they've released this year. rIts just way better than 3's obviously, that's why it gets a 3.5. But the taste in my mouth is more sour than that. I want to give it a 2.

DevilDriver The Last Kind Words
No throwaway tracks this time, a little more polished, but also a little more watered down and generic. Not as good as The Fury... but still a strong record. To downgrade this just because it's not culty is an objective mishap. This is a strong mainstream metal record, and as far as mainstream goes, it's highly respectable. That being said, the masses always jump on the bandwagon one album late - this one is overrated compared to the last one.

Literally can't stand most human beings and the way they approach things rn. "Agonizing
hardcore... Oppressively dark." Excellent. Lol. Our species needs to grow up so bad its
ridiculous. Yes, its art, yes it reflects your experience, but give me a break dude... its
about what you do with your experience, so exaggerating the negativity of experience itself
is a modern joke of self pity.

The melody that breaks through this album is pretty outstanding. Because this is the
standard, it gets a 3.5. It gets a 3.5 and not a 4.5 because the pummeling, regressive
pretend-to-be-heavy thing makes most of it fairly displeasing. It's killing our music, it's
killing our soft little males playing nihilist, it's putting imbeciles into power positions,
and everyone is pretending they're super heavy while they're bending over and exposing their
rumpuses to any and whoever will give them a complement. Y'all bandwagon together in self-
pity and harlotry even over "underground" records. Look at all the sputnik pages. Not an
ounce of genuine will to be found. Y'all are cowards, and most of the "heavy" sections on
this and most metal music y'all worship like a golden calf is a testament to the cowardice
of us all.

Some of this album is awesome. A lot of it stinks. Just like all of you. We should be
praising what is awesome, not what stinks. Instead, you're all pretending to be hard. Alas.
If only you actually were, you'd know what you were doing, and you'd stop playing the
harlot. And then we'd all be awesome a lot more of the time.

This is a great metalcore album by a once-black metal band. Cyclone and Stardust are
definitely a little gross. And for black metal to be used in this way... it leaves a certain
taste in the mouth. So I understand the slander. But it's simply executed too well, too many
legitimately delicious sections to act like its not good. And it's also too unique for
occupying the sonic space that it does. I can't think of another band that legitimately
sounds like this. If they go back in the other direction (toward black metal) next album,
I'll still be with them. If they continue in this direction, I'll 1.5 the next one lol.

Please listen to this band. They are elite. They must not tour a lot or something, but its

They end up making annoying after annoying decision, and their descriptions on bandcamp are
another level of pretentious, but they have a banger here and there. They gotta grow out of

3.5 is generous. It's more like 3.3

I respect the tiny bit of experimentation on el vacio and a thousand years. I respect that
they're still hard. But most of this album is old ground that has been walked better before
and the hooks are simply terrible for the most part, except for the title track, which is
definitely a standout. But I'd like to see some progression... what happened to Descending
and Blacken the Cursed Sun? Even 512 and Still Echoes felt like a positive direction. Since
the backlash of The Duke (which sucked because it sucked lol) they just seem resigned to
this.
LANDMVRKS The Darkest Place I've Ever Been
A couple of the singles were great. Album is interesting, but ends up a little less satisfying than it should be. Both the title track and Requiem flirt with black + deathcore elements. they just don't end up hitting that hard. All the spoken word/rap stuff is bad too.

Another decent Noise album. 3.3. Wish there was a little more experimentation on the record
and that the lyrics were a little more creative. Wish people understood secularism is fast
becoming the new opiate of the masses// has been already for a long time. It's really no
different than the party system - right vs. left, religion vs. secularism. Give up
secularism, give up religion, accept God and science. They go together perfectly, and when
people understand that, the world (and metal) will be a lot more interesting than it is
right now.

Caught between a 3 and a 3.5.

Want to give it a 3, but realistically it's still pretty elite, just a little disappointing.
Way too much uninspired vocal push and unnecessary breakdowns cutting short better melodic
sections. Still some good tracks and great moments though.

One of the best deathcore releases in years. Epitomizes the need for melo-deathcore. All the best choruses on this absolutely slap. Too much shite in between. Die, rise should be a five minute banger and one of the best songs in recent memory, but instead it?s eight minutes with some of the worst parts on my iPod. A ton of fresh moments throughout the album, a ton of shite. Still elite for deathcore. Top 5 for sure.!

August Burns Red Rescue & Restore
August Burns Red Phantom Anthem
Just way too monotonous overall. Have been a huge fan of standout tracks of ABR over the years, like FIFAP's Martyr, but
just far too often its riffage for no reason. Too often its just a bunch of 'songs' that don't really sound unique, or cohesive,
or purposeful. Maybe its me growing out of it, maybe its just that its getting this stale for me at this point, because I think it
sounds pretty similar to R & R overall, but it hit me very lightly this time around. It also sounds just kind've odd how bland
Jake's lyrics are sometimes because u would feel like he'd have better stuff if he so chose to write something less
accessible. but maybs not, really have no idea.

after a few listens, it was a bit better. King of Sorrow, Quake, and Dangerous are sufficiently satisfying.
Aversions Crown Xenocide
Not as good as it could've been. Got pretty comedic how many times he said shit like "vortex" - has a few stunning sections, as do the best death core bands. But that's still what it is. Deathcore, which means a whole lot of blugghh ruggha blughhski and if you're lucky 3 songs an album with 40 seconds of gold. Singles had the best moments for me, so I was disappointed by the album as a whole. But yeah. These guys are some of the best in the genre. but will be hoping for better next time.

thats what ur supposed to do at the top. like he only knew how to be at the bottom. makes sense.

Better than expected (I was expecting pretty bad). Better than Siren Charms. I think its time to just accept In Flames as
becoming pop. Makes sense. They're older dudes. They delivered some passionate music for a decent amount of years.
Now they're trying to speak to a younger/wider audience. I give them credit for producing catchy music. If you want to call
them sell outs, they sold out pretty good without really forsaking much integrity in my opinion. Good radio songs. Drained,
Like Sand, In my Room, and Battles are probably my favorite tracks.

Has some good moments, and its all good pop music overall, and a fairly interesting kind. Actually different, as far as
generic music goes. But way more generic. Definitely has lost the personal touch and has gone for the accessible route.
Far inferior to their self-titled, but its a decent thing for kids to be listening to. Should definitely have dropped a lot of the
slow tracks from the album though. Do you Really Want It is a pretty cool radio song. Fade in/Fade Out is a solid, emotional,
but accessible track as well. Overall, not what I was hoping for, but not much respect lost. Hopefully next album is for the
band themselves instead of for a popularized message, but as far as popularized messages go, its good.
Of Mice and Men EARTHANDSKY
much better than the shite they've been producing lately.rdoesn't rlly sound like of mice and men,
minus the whiny cleans every other song.rits some weird assemblage of thrashy metalcore, but its
not terrible. how to survive is almost a banger, but kinda loses momentum second half and lyrical
delivery is nearly problematic on chorus. good enough tho. hence i'm writing this. for of mice and
men, this is high praise.

Pretty disappointing for sure.rBand has talent and most of the songs touch something good but end up falling back into the expected and bland. Clean vocalist is capable and should be great, but a ton of boring choruses here. Harsh vocalist is great. Inhumane still best song on the album by far. rThe obvious tragedy aside, always a little strange when you have a death in the band from a listener's standpoint because on one hand I want to cherish and honor the memory, and on the other, feels like a sign that this is not the direction for the living. Album title and lyrics point to that as well. RIP Ryan, really sucks. Bless his soul. rHope band sticks with it even after or makes a new band same members, clearly capable of making some kickass metalcore.

This band is close to being amazing, but it's too reserved by far. Used to be a little less, but this album literally is at a 5 out of 10 hardness literally the entire time. Needs way more bite. Singer hardly even sings, let alone scream. lukewarm milk.
Portrayal of Guilt We Are Always Alone
Daymare was one of best tracks all-time minus the semi anti-climactic and sophomoric 'I'm

a little preachy and self-righteous and shallow. like how many times can you use the word truth and talk about looking at
yourself honestly while getting into zero deep philosophical issues? also the whole 'there is no point' and having to go back
to better days is a little bit pussy. also the 'you are free, no matter what' followed by arguing someone else would have
doomed him if he stayed with them sounds hypocritical. That being said, have loved these dudes from day 1, and this still
has a few solid tracks. Overall, like the production, like the sound for the most part. 2nd half of album lags though. Inner
Authority is a good track. Still recommend it.
But would be great if they stopped worrying about being marketable (and based on his lyrics, the opinions of others) and
just make a raw hardcore record. But idk I guess maybe they never really were that. but frustrating that some of these
hardcore/metalcore bands that you're listening to when you're 18 are actually like 26, and then you grow up another 5
years and they're kind of in the same place... these dudes were the best of the bunch imo though.

All That Remains Overcome
All That Remains Victim of the New Disease
Miles ahead of past releases. There were at least three-four songs where guitars sounded on FOI level... unfortunately, not a single complete song on here. The ones with good guitars have the blandest chorus ever - the ones with a decent chorus are complete mush pies - and then of course there's those moments where Phil thinks he's the br00talist dude in metal just seconds after sounding like a whiny boy and he wants to try the deepest lows ever in a nonsensical display of pseudo-machismo. at least Oli went out with some respectable riffs (see misery in me, broken). rwhat is with this style of cleans tho? like the killswitch engage sorta, like somewhere between a musical and emo. it just sounds so un-candid. especially when phil puts on the whiny pop voice for songs like meant what i said. actually really liked the cleans on for we are many, so don't know what happened.
All That Remains AntiFragile
The facts are simple - they were good, then they were not, then they were horseshit, now
they are deciding they want to be good again, but they're still addicted to being horseshit.
Singles are proof enough of that. But there are actual songs on here that have moments of
good. Ppl saying it was TFOI 2, it's not, but you can see what they mean. They mostly ruin
every good choice they make. Kerosene was almost good except for a horseshit chorus.
Antifragile sounds like a good melodeath song except its not hooky at all. Poison it is less
melodeathy but kinda similar. Cut their tongues out is ok, but way too many chuggaroos.
Final verdict: all buttrock titles, zero good songs, but pleased with the direction. And
those are the facts.

with almost no standout moments. But maybe they'll get better. I guess for a mathcore record
this isn't rated very highly for sputnik, but still rated way too high. Can find almost
nothing to justify this. First song is alright in spite of the blasphemy. But overall,

Allow me to be the first to say it - this band absolutely sucks. I?ve previewed just about
everything from them recently in
light of the Sputnik bandwagon, but the reality is it?s fake black, no melody, no heavy,
lukewarm and accessible
depressive trash and this band now stands pretty much alone at the top of the Sputnik
overrated charts. For the sake of balance, it takes a 1. Listen to better music, seek
triumph. Nothing worse than fake black. Get off
the bandwagon kiddos, it doesn?t lead anywhere good.

And makes sense it has such a high review. SPUTNIK DOES NOT LET YOU RATE THIS A 1 or
1.5!!!!!!!!! Its a fake!!!!!!!!! I rated this a 1 and a 1.5 and it just says “No” even
though it’s already been released and makes you give it at least a 2! Man censorship really

"This shit RIPS bro my skull is caved IN" nough said.

Can't believe how bad this was. Other two albums have a lot to them in spite of still
stinking occasionally because of their including the "oppressive" qualities of this album.
Softy poser bros pretend this is worth something because their will is insufficiently
holistically resilient. Your will breaks because you smash it against the same wall over and
over, creating cracks of repetitive stupidity until at last you shatter. The true heavy is
in the unwavering stability of holy righteousness. When our species understands this, metal
songs will actually be good for the entire songs rather than the good ones still only being
good for 25%. Its still buried in the cookie cutter contrast of idiots seeking "heavyness"
in regression rather than evolution.

One of my favorite bands of all-time, but realistically, this thing pretty much stinks. If you didn't like the singles, you won't like it. Burn and Oblivion are the two best choruses. Shallows has the best heavy section and it only lasts five to ten seconds. Teeth has some cool backing vox. In general, ridiculously boring. Coward also sucked aside from Accept. The ratings for these two albums feel like leftover homage to some of the best albums of all-time, including AOFTWK, which was a definite all-timer.

The Dillinger Escape Plan Dissociation
So here's that other viewpoint in contrast to all these 5's, and why: This band reminds me of all of those insecure boys and
girls out there that try to be different, aggressive, and rebellious for the sake of their own self-image while believing in
practically nothing that would warrant such a temperament. Dissociation is the product of thinking Infinity should be
'calculated.' A lesson in self-righteous excess, and the idolization of knowledge as separate from wisdom. The result is a
technical piece of art demonstrating powerful narcissism that is unsurprisingly equally as popular as the rest of their
discography. Its got "everything" a kid trying to appear deep and struggling could ask for. But at the end of the day, if you
listen past all the different skilled affectations Puciato does on this album, and you make it through all the masturbatory
noises coming from the guitars showcasing their technicality, you can hear him in the title track sound just like the whiny
scene metalcore vocalists especially around 2:25. There is no doubt this band has talent, and they even produce some
good melodies a few times in spurts of 10 seconds, but this band is what everyone who is a pussy thinks is intense. power
without virtue. I wouldn't be so hard on them of course if this album was a 3.4. But the fact that this is put on a pedestal is
a sorry state of affairs that I have no doubt has helped encourage countless youths to dig deeper into their own egos with
piteous self-loathing masquerading as remorse. Thus I write this in the hopes of discouraging that.
This Gift Is A Curse Heir
this so overrated rn.rThey could be great, yes, but potential doesn't mean its actually good. Almost everything is too long and drawn out, the atmosphere teases but hardly ever reaches any real height - there is zero hookiness, a dearth of melody, and a bounty of monotony. I was a big fan of parts of All Hail the Swinelord, but band has disappointed me completely since. Like why the hell is Old Space 8:42 ? There's very little variety to it. C'mon now, that should be a four and a half minute track. Trying way too hard to please the wrong sorts of people - absolutely zero admittance or coherence to what actually sounds good. First single pretty much exemplified the album - should be amazing. Is not good enough to listen to. Nice hook riff at the beginning, nice build release at the end. Given away to a 9 minutes track with a buncha filler and never reaches the emotional height it should. Poor album. Get real.

Instead, it feels like they're doing themselves lukewarm. If I was a woman, I would have left this man. Like, can you become a man, and stfu and actually do something about life instead of continuing to perform in an edgy soap opera? rthis is another band that sputnik seems to be sucking on due to past prestige when the reality is they were good before, not now. rThey need to move on. And ppl sucking on them is part of why they're probably not.

Everything about this album is repulsive. A gross archetype of what it is to play music exclusively to sound different and

artistically infatuated. A shudder to even imagine being at dinner near the type of conversations this produces. But will
