Great songwritingUnderoath They're Only Chasing SafetyUnderoath Ø (Disambiguation)Zao The Crimson Corridor3.5 greatA Black Rose Burial An Awakening of RevenantsAh this is a real throwback to summer in the mid-2000s when I would've been in my teens and I had the curtains closed and played a lot of FF10 and listened to this album. It's one of those ones that sticks in my head as "lots of horror samples, synths and mad riffs". It doesn't necessarily hold up these days. And listening back I remember how it always felt a bit cheap, especially things like not having a properly tuned guitar on Baleful Aura. But it was definitely seminal.A Life Once Lost HunterConverge All We Love We Leave BehindConverge Love Is Not EnoughHopesfall A TypesMol DreamcrushThe Callous Daoboys Die on MarsThe Callous Daoboys I Don't Want to See You in Heaven3.0 goodBlackwater Holylight Silence/MotionConverge Jane DoeCryptic Shift Overspace & SupertimeFound it fatiguing and like a big endless block of random riffs. Some interesting bits but completely unmemorable.Cult Leader A Patient ManIf everything were like "Isolation in the Land of Milk and Honey" then this would be a 4+, but those songs like "to: Achlys" and "A World of Joy" are so dire, it brings the whole album down. Maybe the baritone cleans are something some people love but not for me.Gaza He Is Never Coming BackGlass Cloud Perfect War ForeverIt's way better than the lion album, purely because it only sounds like the drums are being played with a bucket and spade rather than being played on a saucepan at the end of a wind tunnel and recorded on a TamagotchiHeavy Heavy Low Low Everything's Watched, Everyone's WatchinIwrestledabearonce Late for NothingIwrestledabearonce Ruining It for EverybodyLinkin Park MeteoraRolo Tomassi Where Myth Becomes MemoryThe Callous Daoboys Animal TetrisThe Callous Daoboys God Smiles Upon the Callous DaoboysThy Art Is Murder Infinite DeathDull, don't like the vocals, stupid band name. But the occasional breakdown does give a bit of a stank-face, so a mid-table ranking.2.5 averageA Life Once Lost Iron GagMy god this is dire. Loved their first album. Liked their second. This is... I dunno, some redneck shit.Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside MeI was never really into Brand New, so I'm listening to this with fairly fresh ears (minus general nostalgia for that era). It's fine. It's good. I like Millstone. The rest of it... it's fine. Sic Transit Gloria from Deja Entendu is a great track but everything else they've done has always been somewhat "meh" to me.r(Actually, just listening again to Deja Entendu and the entire album is so much better than this, maybe it's just my taste)Chiodos All's Well That Ends Well Re-IssueMid-2000s Myspace Straincore. "One day women..." has a place in my heart because I think that was the one song I'd regularly listen to. The rest is so-so. Would be better without the piano plinking randomly over the top of it. Mixdown/master is weird too. All sounds a little bit like you're listening to it from the inside of a toilet bowl. (update: just got to penguins in alaska, that's a pretty good song to be fair. the two highest played on spotify are not the best imo)Heavy Heavy Low Low Pain OlympicsGood on them for making a comeback, but it's ultimately unpleasant to listen toHopesfall The Frailty of WordsHopesfall Magnetic NorthLinkin Park A Thousand SunsRush RushListening through their discography, their first album bored the pants off me, and is nothing like what they would become in the latter part of the 70sSpiritbox Eternal BlueThe Callous Daoboys My Dixie WreckedI'm glad they toned down the screetchy violins for later releases. It definitely has potential but it's a lot more chugga chugga metalcore. The later stuff is definitely better.Thrice Horizons/WestUnderoath Erase MeUnderoath Voyeurist2.0 poorAt the Drive-In in•ter a•li•aI hadn't even realised they'd had a comeback album all these years ago, and kinda wishing I'd never found out. Briefly thought "hey this is alright for the first 3rd of Pendulum in a Peasant Dress" and then the little clap-along section came in - nope!Attack Attack! Someday Came SuddenlyTurns out that if you listen to the audio only and don't subject yourself to the music videos (which are hilarious and I still reference all the time), it's not entirely awful. The synth breakdowns are dreadful, but at points it sounds not too bad. You can tell they wanted to make Underoath a bit more like Owl City.Dr. Acula Below MeIt oscillates between being background nothingness and the most irritating shit you've ever heard. I'm glad my old noise-destroyed ears can't hear any of the highest frequencies that this album produces because I think if I were still 20yo I'd have an embolismEnterprise Earth LuciferousGlass Cloud The Royal ThousandIt has potential but it just really got something wrong about the production. Why does it sound like it's been recorded a little bit off to the right in the distance, kinda has clipping compression on it, weird blasts of bassy tones. I know that Josh Travis did such an amazing job with Danza IIII so why does this sound SO BAD. So often bands will do a remastered version of an album that doesn't need it. This needs it so much. It's really not fun to listen to on good headphones or speakers.Rolo Tomassi In the Echoes of All DreamsI didn't really notice it was playing, or that it ended. It just kinda existed in my ears for a bit and then stopped.1.5 very poorImmortal Disfigurement KINGThe sound of stacking fourteen compressors on your master bus. DogshitLinkin Park Minutes to MidnightDreadful. As the album progressed I kept decreasing its scoreSleep Token Take Me Back to EdenThe drummer is very talented. There are a couple of bits in bits of tracks that I like (and yes, by this I mean that it's super fucking disjointed). But why does he sing like that!? Why is that his voice? That's not how vowels are pronounced! It's like he's rotated every vowel into a schwa and then sung it out of the side of his mouth. It's like hozier or that fucking "i'll be riding SHOT GUN" guy.1.0 awfulIwrestledabearonce It's All DubstepRings of Saturn Rings of SaturnSpiritbox RotoscopeSelf Titled was incredible. Eternal Blue was going in a bad direction for me. This is just like Static-X or something, fucking awful.
