Thou Umbilical
The first mushroom cloud was a shock to us all. By the time the second appeared, and
another, and another, in tidy little rows, we knew: this was the end. As we sat waiting for
the fallout to claim us, they caught the one responsible and paraded
them through town to their inevitable execution. Kind of superfluous given what was
happening, but it's human nature, after all. Before the electricity went out, before it was
truly over, they broadcast the culprit's last words. How could someone do this? How can you
own up to ending the world? With tears in their eyes, they defiantly exclaimed:

"I had to. It was so heavy."
Unexpect In a Flesh Aquarium

4.0 excellent
3 (USA) The End is Begun
Adele 30
Easily the best full record she's ever released. Arrangements and songwriting take center stage and give her voice the platform she's always needed, and finally gotten.

Y'all are tripping, this is IDLES finest moment.
Ihsahn The Adversary
Ihsahn Ihsahn
Easily his best since Arktis, and avoids a lot of the pitfalls that plague orchestral metal. Did not leave a lasting impression upon an immediate listen like Artkis or After (his magnum opus), but time will tell if this one is a keeper or an interesting experiment.

Nile In Their Darkened Shrines
The kings of Egyptian brutal death metal's third release, Nile hit the high point of their career with this one. Heavily downtuned guitars, Egyptian riffs and double bass galore, the group crafts wave after wave of sonic mayhem to throw at you, rarely relenting and always keeping the listener in check. Granted, there are some acoustic moments on the album, but the vast majority is dedicated to being as heavy as humanly possible. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. In Nile's hands, the heaviness adds another dimension to the music, unlike those who use heaviness to mask their poor songwriting ability. Including, among other things, an 11 minute death metal epic, one of the first of its kind, Nile showcases their writing prowess and craft a song that won't bore you, even throughout its length. While you won't find much variety on this album aside from heavy as hell, Nile manages to make it enjoyable throughout the album's 13 tracks. A must have for any death metal fans.
Norma Jean All Hail
I just threw my entire living room set out the window it's so heavy.
Norma Jean Deathrattle Sing for Me
I just stood up for myself and hit my dad back it's so heavy
EDIT: this one's definitely a grower and more obtuse than their last 3, which is not a bad
thing.

Thrice The Artist in the Ambulance (Revisited)
Guest vocal spots are pretty whack, Dustin sounds a lil tired as opposed to weary on some
tunes, and the new production works about 60ish% of the time. Could've been better.

At the end of the day though, who gives a shit. This is Thrice's best record bar none and I
am absolutely going to throw my back out in the Brooklyn pit for The Abolition of Man along
with every other 30-something who needs one last ride.
Tool Lateralus
Tool 10,000 Days

3.5 great
Against The Current Fever
More like a 6.5/10, but it worms its way into your goddamn head and sits there for a few days.rOverproduced, unoriginal, sparkly, and just a fucking delight to listen to. Shatter fucking sucks.

Graphic Nature Who Are You When No One Is Watching?
Deep as a sewer, but it doesn't need to be when it's filled up with jumpup riffs. Another big dumb fun record from these guys that does everything it needs to do and not an iota more.
Janelle Monae The Age of Pleasure
I could not tell you a single memorable thing from this record (aside from the Shibari line, 10/10), but I also haven't unconsciously danced to an entire record in years. That alone bumps it to a 3.
Kamelot Ghost Opera
Lacuna Coil Karmacode
Make Them Suffer Make Them Suffer
Yknow what, this is the best generic metal record that's come out this year. They attempt to
do nothing new, there's so many clean choruses, and it's a clear attempt at breaking into
the mainstream. And yet, I'm compelled. It's the metal equivalent of mac and cheese:
inoffensive and comforting, maybe a little bland, but you find yourself craving it every
once in a while.
Nightwish Dark Passion Play
Rebecca Black Let Her Burn
Friday was pay to play and so is this record, is that why everyone hates this so much? It's generic and inoffensive, Pitchfork gotta chill the fuck ouuuuut.
Swallow the Sun Plague Of Butterflies

2.5 average
CherryFix Logic Won't Help You
Dimmu Borgir Death Cult Armageddon
Evanescence Sanctuary
Generic midtempo rock-slop, but a full point and a half for "Who Will You Follow" and that fat jump-up riff.

Kamelot The Shadow Theory
Kamelot is like the Marvel Extended Universe of bands.
Korn Take a Look in the Mirror

Bummer that the best thing Floor has done with them is Storytime, Showtime. This is better than the last two, which is not a compliment.
