4.0 excellent
A Static Lullaby Rattlesnake!

If anything, Rattlesnake! proves that A Static Lullaby is not a one-trick pony. As great as the self-titled was, it was a bit too stylistically similar to their debut. Rattlesnake! shatters their previous ties with screamo. ASL has obviously been listening to a LOT of Every Time I Die - opener Rattlesnake!, The Turn, The Prestige, and Everybody's Got A Lil' Fonz N' 'Em, come close to blatant rip-offs of ETID, but they have enough signature ASL in them, that they are amazing. Joe's screams have never sounded better, and Dan's voice has lost all of its whine. Thick riffs, breakdowns that make you want to destroy everything in sight, and some really solid clean-singing passages. This album is fast and furious, and made for the mosh pit. This is ASL on crack and ETID. Highly recommended.
P.S. The cover of Toxic is actually pretty great!
Black Sabbath Master of Reality
Brand New Daisy
After initially being horrified by the first song, Vices, I'm officially in love with this album. I've listened to it 5 times in its entirety today, and it's great. It's a grower, but give it time, and it pays dividends in the end. This is another worthy addition to their already stellar and always diverse catalog.

Thursday Kill the House Lights
I'm giving this a 4 based on the three new songs and the DVD. The three new songs are all great. "Ladies and Gentlemen: My Brother, The Faliure" features some great screaming, but with a pretty massive riff which is new for Thursday. "Dead Songs" is equally as aggressive, and "Voices On A String" employs keyboards really nicely while maintaining a very catchy chorus.
The DVD is a great chronicle of Thursday's history, all the way from basements, to their split with Island. It gives great insight into the personalities of the 6 guys, and their sincerity shines through every step of the way.
The demos and extra songs are ok. I want to know why "Signals Over The Air" was the only live song included on the CD. I like that song, but I really would have preferred some more harder hitting songs from War All The Time - "Steps Ascending" or "For The Workforce, Drowning" maybe. Either way, the new songs and the DVD (which features a bitchin' live show as well as the movie) are worth the price of admission.

3.5 great
