| This album is a classic because of one thing: the Roland TR-808. The beats are all so simple and so catchy, and the backwards drums on "Paul Revere" are awesome. |

| Fear Before The Always Open Mouth |
Based solely on good reviews, I bought The Always Open Mouth. And I was not disappointed. I had never heard FBTMOF, but I did know that they had the coolest band name ever. This album is absolutely terrifying in places, mellow in others, and just plain weird all over the place. An epic in all senses of the word. And if you put the album on repeat, the ending and the beginning flow together really well, which pretty much blows my mind.

| Rx Bandits ...And the Battle Begun |
Innovation has come to a little bit of a standstill in modern music as of late. But, out of the masses of carbon-copies out there, a band has released an absolutely stunning album. I wish I had found out about Rx Bandits years ago. Something about their sound, the funky-fresh reggae-punk-emo-ska vibe that just totally clicks with me. Not a single bad track on this album. The opening accapella jam just totally gives the album this really progressive feeling right from the get go. And these guys are tight. Most of the rhythm section was recorded live, which is totally incredible sounding on the record. Buy this now, and you won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite bands of all time is Refused, who were far from a Christian screamo band. But, when I put this CD in my player for the first time, and "In Regards To Myself" exploded on, I caught a glimpse of those amazing swedes. This is truly a great modern hardcore album and has set a new standard in the genre.

| Where did these guys come from? It's like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath mated and had an incredibly sexy Australian child with a passion for being awesome! Which is the coolest thing ever. |
