Alcest Spiritual Instinct
All the ethereal and otherworldly trademarks that make Alcest remain with a new found punchiness and sense of aggression. Alcest haven't reinvented the wheel, but they've perfected their sound and added enough curveballs to keep the attention of longtime listeners. This will most likely be my AOTY.

Disillusion The Liberation
Certainly a return to form on all fronts and quite literally a direct sequel to Back to Times of Splendor, but it could use some editing. The epics are exactly that, but the shorter tracks feel a bit like padding. Despite this minor issue, this album was able to make me feel 16 again without being a meritless throwback or cash grab. Andy Schmidt is what Wintersun fanboys think Jari is.

One of the weirdest sophomore records ever. I commend Disillusion for trying something so different and experimental, but in the end a lot of this doesn't end up working.

I love the songwriting on this EP but you can totally tell that we recorded it in a basement with microphones duct taped to the ceiling. Topon and Plotkin did the best they could with what they were given.

Some really cools moments marred by tired performances and tedious jamming. Also every song has the exact same intro structure. The drums are great, though.

2.0 poor
Cynic Kindly Bent to Free Us
Cynic Traced In Air Remixed
Unnecessary. The guitars have much less presence and the drums feel more artificial now. I actually appreciate the removal of harsh vocals because I never thought they fit the album in the first place, but the overall mixing problems negate this improvement.

In Flames Reroute to Remain
Liturgy Renihilation
Metallica Reload
Neurosis Honor Found in Decay
Neurosis The Word as Law
Opeth Pale Communion

I hate to sound like a jerk, but this drummer desperately needs lessons. Completely instrumental rock absolutely needs top notch musicians and this sounds like a decent band backed by a first year drum student.

Opeth continues with another embarrassing album. Is this band playing county fairs yet? Because that's what this sounds like.

1.0 awful

I wish the album ratings on this site went below 1.0.
