| 5.0 classic |
| Between the Buried and Me Colors |
| Although not so much the concept album some hyped it as, Colors is nothing short of epic. It's title suits it; numerous genres, elements, and forms are incorporated throughought the length of the record - structural technicality, raw dissonance, beautiful melody, chaotic yet subtle variety, an element of surprise and even homor can be cited. It's difficult to classify Between the Buried and Me; many of their influences from Queen to Dreamtheater to Earth Crisis are evident. It's equally as diffucult to adequately describe this album, which is why i'm finished despite all the praise I have could still give. Let your ears be the judge. |
| Radiohead OK Computer |
Absolutely my favorite Radiohead album to-date. Ok Computer raised the bar for alternative/progressive music in the 90's, and it's been a standard for and inspiration to musicians and music fans ever since. Every track is memorable, original, and catchy, all the while evading the cliche and the overdone. Great musicianship, unforgettable melodies and refreshing variety are all incorporated into a smoothly flowing, classic album by Radiohead.

| The Dillinger Escape Plan Miss Machine |
I hate to restrict or categorize a band by comparing them to other bands; so i'll make my point by saying that while listening to this cd I was reminded of: advanced calculus, sonic the hedgehog, jet engines, stalkers, dragons, assembly lines, jello, graveyards and trainwrecks.
So if you're a little out of your mind and like technical variety in your music... |
