| 5.0 classic |
| Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92 |
| Converge Jane Doe |
| Anyone who says that this album is inaccessible is completely right. I listened to this about 5 months ago and hated it, but recently decided what the hell and gave it another try. After 10 spins all the way through, I finally broke through the wall and now I cant get this album out of my head, its fucking incredible. believe the hype, this CD is great. this cd does beg the question though - can any cd be great after many many listens? Im not sure, but whatever im gunna go spin it again |

| Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine |
| First and best album by arguably one of the best bands of the 90's, if not ever. The energy and creativity put on display by Zach, Tom, Tim and Brad is unmatched and extremely fun to listen to. In addition to the album's merits, this cd was one of the first rock albums I purchased and listened to over and over again and will probably remain one of my favorite pieces of music. |
| Sleep Dopesmoker |
| Team America Team America: World Police Soundtrack |
| The Faceless Akeldama |
| While I think Planetary Duality is probably better overall in terms of quality and progression for the band, Akeldama will always hold a special place in my music library. Akeldama was actually the first "heavy" metal album that I really got into, and one of the few albums I own that I can listen to all the way through over and over again. An Autopsy, Pestilence, All Dark Graves, and Leica are the standouts and my favorites and are extremely great songs. |
| Third Eye Blind Third Eye Blind |
| Wu-Tang Clan Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) |
| The raw energy of the Wu on their debut album alone would be worth a 4 rating at least, while the sheer number of great songs here forces this album to be a 5. The fact that RZA produced and recorded this album in his basement makes this album truly legendary and the performances by every member of the clan unlikely to be topped ever. There really isn't a bad song on this album - if you haven't ever heard it put whatever your listening to now away and pick this up! |

| Fleshgod Apocalypse Oracles |
| Fleshgod Apocalypse Mafia |
Really awesome EP. Yes, it's short, but its so so sweet, or in this case, sour and brutal as hell. The first song
shows the band's development from "Oracles" with the clean vocals in the chorus - one of my biggest
complaints from "Oracles" was that the songs didnt vary that much, the doublebass just pounded on and on
and the singer growled with a few classical music interludes. Im not usually a clean vocal fan but they fit
well in this song. The other songs are awesome also, especially the cover of Blinded by Fear by At the Gates.
If you are an ATG fan this EP is worth a purchase for this song alone. I could do without the italian movie
lines or whatever that play in the second song, but the incredible guitar riffing that occurs after them is
insane. If you liked "Oracles" at all, even one song, listen to this shit. |
| Ghost (SWE) Infestissumam |
| Ghost (SWE) If You Have Ghost |
| Ghost (SWE) Meliora |
This album has a few more weak songs than Ghost's other 2 releases, however there are quite a few
amazing songs that will fit nicely in their live set with songs from previous albums. Mummy Dust
is bangin in particular. |

| Inferi (USA) The End of an Era |
| Great album. Best way to describe this band is like Woe of Tyrants mixed with the best parts of As Blood Runs Black. I agree the vocals are a little weak at parts, but the catchy and melodic guitar more than make up for this. The guitar riffs remind me of At the Throne of Judgment because they are just so catchy and fun to listen to. |
| Inferi (USA) Divinity in War |
| Awesome CD. The copy I have is terrible quality, but the catchiness from their first cd is still here. Holy crap their guitarist can riffffffff |

| Wretched (USA-NC) The Exodus of Autonomy |
This album kicks ass. Definitely some TBDM in there, but songs like the title track and VII: the Descent help
Wretched stand apart and are obviously not close to anything BDM would do. As the other sound-offs noted, this
album is great in part because the guitar and drum work here is amazing. If you're into Knights of the Abyss, or
perhaps All Shall Perish, I would recommend checking this album out, even just for the two songs I named plus
Aborning, and A Preservation of Immortality. |

| Album is pretty good. It is nice to see a deathcore band actually take criticism from past albums to heart and attempt to improve themselves, especially after recent disappointments in the genre such as Conducting from the Grave and As Blood Runs Black. It will be interesting to see if BOO can create an album with a cohesive, overarching theme or concept in the future as they continue to grow. |

Everything here is amazing and as would be expected from East of the Wall...except the new vocalist. His
screams are really bad, and his clean singing is just serviceable. This is too bad,as all the instruments are
incredible and the band's sense of melody is top notch. |
