But, at this point, that's what you want from them tbh. It's weird, there's always two camps of folk; those who want bands to progress their sound and those who want them to sound like themselves. It's a fine line between the two to try and appease everyone. Breaking Benjamin don't seem to give a shit and will just do what they've been doing forever and it works. Why change now?

Pure uplifting black metal madness from the get go. If you're into black metal, and you're having a good day, this will only make it 100x better. Misery Signals Absent LightObitus Slaves of the Vast MachineAbsolute mastery of the Black Metal arts. 45 minute long song with no breaks. Total beatdown. Your body will be drained.Propagandhi Supporting CastePuppy Vol. IIPuppy PuppyRyan Adams PrisonerThe three singles from this album that are already released made me feel very skeptical about this album, and so far I don't think I was wrong. It is good, it's just not great. Ashes & Fire was a return to form, and the self titled was a supersonic push towards the new Ryan. But this feels like it got so caught up in the ethereal, misty sound it gives off that it doesn't know where it's going. The lyrics feel more obvious than usual too. Highlights of the album are definitely; Prisoner, Haunted House, Doomsday and Broken Anyway. Solid album, just not from DRA. - *EDIT* I have listened to it a little bit more and it's actually pretty good. Still not as good as his previous efforts, but like most Ryan albums, it'll grow on me and it will be a 5 in no time.Stephen Wilson Jr. son of dadHow anyone could rate this less than AT LEAST a 3 is mental to me. Earnest lyrics, deep and meaningful blasted with a dstinct sounding guitar style to go along with it. The country tinged Springsteen-esque vocals are great too. Highlights: Grief Is Only Love, Cuckoo, Father's SonThe Devil Wears Prada Transit BluesTwin Atlantic MeltdownThe mixing is very 2006, and not in a good way. They've thrown away the stadium rock, they've thrown away.....whatever that last album was. A return to form, but in a new direction. rNot as musically forward as Vivarium or the early EPs, but it's catchy as all hellWormrot Voices3.5 greatBlack Fast Terms of SurrenderIt is an incredible album, but they do have three songs that are basically the same song. They could've just thrown in the slightly different riffs from each song and made one long epic closer. But no one seems to like 8min+ songs any more. Deafheaven SunbatherDevil Sold His Soul Darkness PrevailsFalling in Reverse Coming HomeDoesn't bring ANYTHING new to the table, but sometimes that's what makes a record great. If you were a little emo kid in the early 2000's and listened to pre-Mabbit Escape the Fate then this album will be instant nostalgia. And it's actually fucking good in comparison to everything between the debut and now, all of which have been absolute garbaggio.From Sorrow To Serenity Remnant of HumanityFuneralbloom PetalsAn absolute monster in the Blackgaze universe. Alcest might have been the forefathers, with Deafheaven becoming the masters of the forefront. But this is TRUE Blackgaze, and it is one hell of a journey from start to finish. The shortest song is 9 minutes long, and even at that it feels like you've gone through Mordor and back. rHighlight: Cherry Orchard.Ghost Bath MoonloverKris Drever Black WaterLeif Vollebekk North AmericanaMisery Signals Of Malice and the Magnum HeartMisery Signals MirrorsMUCC Kyuutai3.0 goodGhost Bath StarmournerLeif Vollebekk InlandMoron Police PachinkoIt's still Moron Police, so it's GOOD. But, I think it is trying to hard to be a Boat On The Sea 2, and it fails quite heavily. There is nothing on this that is as catchy as anything on BOTS and it feels like it is trying too hard, and sometimes it just feels messy in the more prog passages.2.5 averageDevil Sold His Soul Empire of LightMUCC GokusaiThe Midnight HeroesLegitimately their worst album, and it's not even close.1.5 very poorAuthority Zero Thirty Years: Speaking to the Youth
