Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicKatatonia Night Is the New DayThe absolute best record of 2009. The perfect amount of progresive, melodic, depressive, heavy, and atmospheric elements all combined. With every listen this becomes better and better. Mr. Bungle Disco VolanteAvant-Garde metal at it's best and highest moment. This is where bands like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Dog Fashon Disco, and Diablo Swing Orchestra got their whole vibe and sound. Mr. Bungle CaliforniaThe absolute best pop record ever recorded. Catchy, experimental, and not taking itself too seriously. A must for everybody alive. Listen to this or die. Opeth Still LifeAn absolute classic, nothing less. Great songs and exelent performances on all fronts. A record to be heard before you die for sure. Opeth DamnationThe baby of Opeth and Porcupine Tree and a great demonstration of progressive rock at it's finest in today's sound. Not metal in the least, but has some of Opeth's best songs. Scar Symmetry Holographic Universe2008's best record. Hooky choruses, catchy solos, great vocals. Soars above anything else melodic death metal has managed to do in recent years. 4.5 superbAlcest Écailles De LuneA step-up in all categories from the debut. One of the best of the newer shoegaze-black metal bands to come out. Korn KornNothing like this record. The thrill it gives you and the aggression in this album is amazing. It's like smashing your head against a wall over and over. Opeth WatershedOpeth's most experimental/progressive(?) album yet. New members prove themselves, Akerfeldt shows that he is, in fact, a musical genius, again. Periphery PeripheryA fantastic album full of varity and suprises. Great vocals, fantastic guitar playing, colorful leads, an album that does not disappoint. The only downside is that it may be just a bit too long. Solution .45 For Aeons PastExtremely catchy and full of great solos. Christian Alvestam succeeds once again and proves to be one of the greatest voices in all of metal. 4.0 excellentHIM Venus DoomThe best HIM album, includes both heavy and melodic, yet still accessable and very hooky and chorus based. A win for mainstream metal. Swallow the Sun New MoonGreat doom metal, with elements of black and melodic death thrown in as well, one of 2009's greatest. Title - not the smartest idea. Trivium ShogunSome great progressive thrash from the band that everybody loves to hate. Not every song is great, but the majority rules. 3.5 greatAphex Twin Come to DaddySome of the greatest electronic/IDM to ever come out. Great song, great remixes, an all around great EP. Dimmu Borgir Death Cult ArmageddonNot the band's finest moment, but full of some good songs. exelent use of a symphony though. Korn Take a Look in the MirrorKorn's most "death metal" release. Full of heavy grooves and more death grunts than any other Korn record. 3.0 goodHIM Screamworks: Love In Theory And PracticeNot their best, but by no means their wost album. Full of great cheesy and catchy choruses, but that's really about it. Not as bad as people seem to say it is.
