Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicChildren of Bodom Follow the ReaperCynic FocusNever before have I described an album that features elements of tech-death as "dreamy" but that perfectly applies with this album. It's immensely experimental with noticeable jazz influences, and it's just so god-damn original; nothing like this existed before it, yet it's so ahead of its time. Death The Sound of PerseveranceDeath SymbolicA masterpiece in tech/melodic death metal. There's nothing I can say about this album that hasn't already been said; just go listen to it if you haven't already.

Given the rating, I clearly stand strongly on the "love it" side of the spectrum. Their most progressive-leaning album to date, and potentially their most emotionally fueled, given the deeply saddening passing of Cliff Burton. 4.5 superbCircus Maximus The 1st ChapterDeath Individual Thought PatternsDream Theater Train of ThoughtEminem The Eminem ShowEminem The Marshall Mathers LP 2In Flames WhoracleIron Maiden Somewhere In TimeMarty Friedman InfernoMegadeth Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?Metallica MetallicaMetallica's self-titled (otherwise known as "The Black Album") marks a historic moment in heavy metal history: metal bands gaining mainstream exposure, and later being called sell-outs because they're no longer "underground." Although everything between The Black Album and Hardwired has been panned by the majority of Metallica's entitled fanbase, this album has a lot to offer. Besides the obvious Enter Sandman, Sad But True and Nothing Else Matters (all excellent tracks in their own right) the tracks that truly shine are The Unforgiven and Wherever I May Roam, as well as the criminally underrated tracks The God That Failed and Of Wolf And Man. If you live, breathe, eat and shit thrash metal, this album may not be for you; but if you want heavy metal that can show its soul, listen to this album front to back. I can almost guarantee that you'll love it.Symphony X Paradise LostThe Smiths The Queen Is DeadTrivium ShogunTotal sucker for this album. Corey Beaulieu's guitar work is nothing short of incredible and Matt Heafy paying homage to his Japanese heritage through the lyrical theming is a very nice touch. The entire album is a highlight for me personally, but the absolute stand-out tracks are Kirisute Gomen, Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis, Down From The Sky, Throes of Perdition, Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven and Shogun.Trivium The Sin and the SentenceThere isn't a bad track here; certainly their best release since Shogun. The Revanchist and Thrown Into The Fire are two of the best songs that they've ever penned.

I jam Entrance of the Conflagration, Anthem (We Are The Fire) and the title track semi-regularly; Entrance being one of my favourite Trivium songs. 2.5 averageBad Wolves DisobeyEminem EncoreMotionless In White InfamousMotionless In White Graveyard Shift2.0 poorDisturbed ImmortalizedI liked a few songs from this album when it came out. Then again, I was 13, coming on 14 when this album came out. Now it's just feels uninspired and a tad embarrassing. Fire It Up is a guilty pleasure, though. Eminem Revival1.0 awfulMetallica St. AngerThis album enrages me. The snare, the god-awful lyrics, whatever the fuck the guitars are doing...
