| Masakatsu Takagi Kagayaki |
| An incredible album that really transcends the sum of its parts. Individual tracks are certainly beautiful and can be easily appreciated on their own, but the experience can only truly be had by listening to this front to back. The field recordings are brilliantly placed and give a sense of narrative to the record. This is slowly becoming an all time favourite - it reminds me of the days when Sigur Ros' ( ) was the most important album in the world to me. Highly, highly recommended. |
| maudlin of the Well Bath |
| Making some of the most original metal music I've ever heard, maudlin of the Well have created an absolute masterpiece with "Bath". This album has it all - emotional gems ("Geography", "Marid's Gift of Art"), unrelenting death metal attacks ("They Aren't All Beautiful"), acoustic pieces ("The Blue Ghost/Shedding Qliphoth", the interlude tracks), as well as those that bring them all together (highlight "Birth Pains of Astral Projection"). Perfection. |

| This is one of those albums I've never doubted giving a classic rating to. It took me a few listens to fully understand, like all good albums should, but when I finally did it blew me away. That album art says it all - this is a monumental, emotional and truly beautiful release. R.I.P. K. Angylus |

| A classic in every sense of the word. I've been listening to this album since it first came out in 1997 and I still listen to it with the same sense of awe as I did when I first heard it. It may not be the most musically, or even lyrically accomplished album, but every song is a masterpiece in its own right and this deserves to be regarded as a milestone of alternative rock. |

| Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain |
| Agalloch Pale Folklore |
| One of the most stunning extreme metal albums I've ever heard, Agalloch has made a record that transcends genre and defies convention. The production is what seals it for me - murky, but brilliantly atmospheric. Just listen to Hallways of Enchanted Ebony or The Melancholy Spirit and you'll understand. |
| Agalloch The Mantle |
| Alcest Écailles De Lune |
| Alcest Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde |
| A very consistent, dreamlike shoegaze release from a quite unexpected source (at the time) in Neige. There are very few, if any black metal (or metal in general) elements and this is a great accomplishment for Alcest. A fantastic debut that has its flaws, but makes up for them with sheer beauty and ethereal atmosphere. |

| This album is almost unlistenable due to how utterly terrifying it is. Just try listening to I Was a Prisoner in Your Skull or Minus Something late at night with headphones on - it is near impossible. No album has ever done that to me before and for that reason alone makes Soundtracks for the Blind a classic. But there are also amazing drone, ambient, techno, indie, and post-rock compositions on here too, all of which contribute to the album's brilliance. |

| I'm not sure whether I should be taking these guys seriously or not. This album is the most fun thing I've heard all year (especially "Bloom") but it's ridiculously excessive. It sounds overambitious and the Dream Theater-esque wankery is a bit much at times - but if you take BTBAM with a pinch of salt and just enjoy the progressions and fun elements of the album it's pretty fucking great. |

| Tempted to give this a 4.5 just because it's so underrated. It deserves something in the middle probably because the highs are so damn high on this thing. "Pink Cellphone" is godawful, yes, but the other 'lows' (Rapture, Mein) are still quite enjoyable, just not quite up to the standard of the rest of the album. Actually nice to hear an album with such a strong second half for once - most albums that are inconsistent are very frontloaded. "Xerces", "Rats!Rats!Rats!", "Combat" and "Kimdracula" are all some of the album's best songs. |
| Demilich Nespithe |
| Devictus Personal Infinity |
| This actually might be one of my favourite ambient albums ever. No kidding. The only real blip is "Afterimage (-)" which goes on for a bit too long without anything really happening, even for the album which, as a whole, is extremely subtle. In some ways, though, it makes the album highlight "Dead Branches..." even better. Terrific effort. |

| The cover of the album says it all. This is the only grind album I have ever liked and for good reason; there is something about it that is both beautiful and ugly, ethereal and crushing, technical and uncompromising. Give it a good few listens and it may change your perspective on heavy music completely. |

| Underoath The Changing of Times |
| It's difficult for me to be objective on this album because it means so much to me. "Alone in December" is one of my favourite songs of all time and got me through an unbelievably tough period in my life. However, objectively, this is no more than a good screamo/hardcore album with outrageously cheesy synths and (on the odd occasion) lyrics. The emotion in this album is what bumps it to a 3.5 and a worthwhile listen. |
| Underoath Define the Great Line |
| Underoath Cries of the Past |
| This would be a 3.5 were it not for the impressive atmosphere the album manages to create. This was Underoath at their most aggressive, showcasing their abilities to combine elements of hardcore with black and death metal. In fact, there is a fairly close resemblance to Extol's 'Burial' (although not quite as professionally executed). Excellent album |

| Looked at from the perspective of a pop album, which is exactly what this is and is meant to be, this is a pretty fantastic set of songs. You can't help but sing along and admire the beauty of tracks like "This is the Last Time", "Bedshaped", "Somewhere Only We Know" and especially the heartfelt "She Has No Time". This is an excellent album that doesn't get enough love. It may not be the most musically complex or meaningful record ever made, but to look at it from that perspective defeats the point of what "Hopes and Fears" is - a beautiful pop album. |

| If the production wasn't so bad (even on the remaster) this would be much better. That said however, this is still a fucking solid album that is in the same vein as maudlin's two classics "Bath" and "Leaving Your Body Map". Just not quite up to the standard of those though, but a fantastic debut nevertheless and one that is sadly overlooked by many fans. |

| Considering it's been 11 years since the debut, this was always going to be a disappointment on some level. Enjoy Eternal Bliss has slowly risen to become one of my favourite albums of all time but there was no way this was ever going to justify a decade long wait. rRegardless, it's an enjoyable outing with some of those familiar Yndi Halda elements rearing their heads every now and then. The highlights are "This Very Flight", which is the song most in tune with the sound of their previous outing, and "Golden Threads from the Sun" which has some gorgeous melodies. The opener is solid but nothing to really write home about and "Helena" strays after a beautiful opening few minutes. rAll in all a good effort from a band that most people had forgotten about but let's hope it won't be so long before their next one. |

this is just a chore to sit through. Vanilla as fuck. |

| Continues Mono's downward spiral since For My Parents. It's another decent-enough offering but nothing here really stands out. The opener and title track have their moments, but the truth is Mono just aren't able to deviate from their formula enough to remain interesting. By the time Hymn to the Immortal Wind rolled around they had taken their sound as far as it could go. Despite trying to change it up by moving in a darker, heavier direction these last couple of albums, it still sounds far too familiar. |

| The Angelic Process Solipsistic |
| This is a rare, unreleased album that has been circling on the net. It's definitely legit so it's worth a listen if you're a big fan of the band like I am - however, if you're expecting the same grungy, metallic shoegaze that made up albums like Weighing Souls With Sand, you will be disappointed. This is very stripped down by TAP standards and doesn't live up to the standard of their other works. However, there are many good moments here, such as the mostly acoustic title track, as well as the decidedly metal Dismembered Antonella (one of the few tracks that sounds as though it could fit into one of their later albums). Overall an interesting listen and a few really good songs, but the many average moments make it clear why this was never an official release. |
| The Antlers Uprooted |
| The title track is gorgeous - a lost diamond. Nothing else is really spectacular but there are worse ways to spend half an hour of your life. |
