After listening to both ISIS and Neurosis, I started searching for similar bands (which has led me onto so many amazing bands I never would have experienced). My search led me to Made Out of Babies, but unfortunately I wasn't able to listen to them. That's when I seen a link for Battle of Mice and I was able to listen to the entire album. Simply put, I was as blown away by A Day of Nights as I was by ISIS Oceanic and Neurosis Through Silver and Blood. Julie Christmas has such a beautiful voice that can become a very guttural, spine-tingly, real scream. Coupled with the slow buildups and atmospheric music, makes this one of my favorite albums of the year.Behold... The Arctopus SkullgridAn excellent album. I've only listened to a few times but it's definitely going into my list of favorites for the year. Some amazing tangents these guys go off into. I'd love to see the do something with Jean Baudin of Nuclear Rabbit.ISIS In the Absence of TruthNuclear Rabbit MutopiaAll Nuclear Rabbit is fantastic. Jean Baudin is a god among men. With that said, Mutopia is my favorite of all of their albums. My Hideous Claw is just downright great music. Om PilgrimageSince I've heard this album, not a day goes by where I do not listen to it in it's entirety. It has the power to calm me no matter what mood I am in. It has the atmospher of chaos/heaviness through peace, rather than hate or anger. Which makes it sound a lot more heavy than a lot of bands expressing the latter.Opeth Ghost ReveriesPink Floyd The Dark Side Of The MoonPink Floyd Wish You Were HerePoison the Well VersionsThe Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating Infinity4.0 excellentBad Religion Back to the KnownBetween the Buried and Me The Silent CircusBetween the Buried and Me ColorsCephalic Carnage Lucid IntervalEyehategod DopesickNile Annihilation Of The WickedPig Destroyer Phantom LimbPink Floyd AnimalsPoison the Well The Opposite of DecemberPorcupine Tree Fear of a Blank PlanetSaves the Day In ReverieSaves the Day Stay What You AreSick of It All Scratch the SurfaceThe Album Leaf Into The Blue AgainThe Dillinger Escape Plan Irony Is a Dead SceneThe Locust New ErectionsThe Locust are partly responsible for my year in 2007 being spent listening to a completely different style of music than I am used to (I was more into hardcore/punk, and radio rock). With that said, New Erections blew me away. The timing was magnificent and the way they went from a cool little riff into utter chaos was great.The Red Chord Fused Together in Revolving DoorsThursday Full Collapse3.5 greatArsis A Celebration of GuiltBad Religion The Empire Strikes FirstBad Religion How Could Hell Be Any Worse?Bongzilla AmerijuanicanWhen I first heard the name of this band, I though 'that's freaking sweet!'. And sure enough, the band delivered on the sweetness.

Cephalic Carnage like The Locust are responsible for bringing me into more of a grind style of listening. A friend has been listening to their music for a long time and so I've actually been a fan since Lucid Interval, but I didn't buy a CD of my own of theirs until this one. It didn't have the massive chaotic attack that LI had, or the sweet harmonies found in some songs from Anomalies (Dying Will be The Death of Me) I still found myself enjoying it quite a bit this year.Giant Squid Metridium FieldsInto the Moat The DesignIon Dissonance Breathing Is IrrelevantMeshuggah NothingPoison the Well Distance Makes the Heart Grow FonderPoison the Well Tear From the RedSaves the Day Can't Slow DownThe Dillinger Escape Plan Miss MachineThursday War All the TimeTomahawk Anonymous2.5 averageSaves the Day Sound the AlarmThe Dillinger Escape Plan Ire WorksI actually can't say that I notice the difference in the band without Chris Pennie, this album is still growing on me. Though right now, after quite a few times of listening to it it?s my least favorite from these mathcore giants. I can?t compare it to Calculating Infinity cause quite frankly they?re a different band, but it can be compared to Miss Machine and that album took a long time to grow on me. That said, Ire Works was pretty average for DEP, and didn?t quite tap into their members potential.The Red Chord Clients
