Epic, beautiful poetry. Truly an experience to hear.Mastodon Crack the SkyeMetallica Death MagneticAn astonishing return to form. Mixes their classic prog-thrash with later blues-oriented arrangements; makes for a diverse, but cohesive thrash record. Sound engineering issues aren't nearly as bad as people say they are; I've heard much, much worse. Even if you're not a fan of the band, this is definitely worth a listen.MGMT CongratulationsEpic and subdued, atmospheric and in-your-face at the same time. Nine Inch Nails The Downward SpiralParkway Drive Deep BluePorcupine Tree The IncidentTop of the line production and songwriting, wrapped up in a thought-provoking concept album.

A perennial favorite.Metallica Master Of PuppetsMuse AbsolutionMuse Origin of SymmetryNine Inch Nails The FragileOf Mice and Men The FloodOne of my favorite modern metalcore albums. A nice amount of diversity in songwriting (for the genre), and Joey Sturgis turns in some of his best production work here; the bassy tone sounds like butter to my ears.Pantera Cowboys from HellPassion Pit MannersAlbum answers the question, "How many synthesizers can we fit into one rock song?" with "As many as possible!". Addictive and worth repeat-listens.Porcupine Tree In AbsentiaOne of PTree's best.

We Came As Romans To Plant a SeedIntriguing debut, familiar but enjoyable. Replay value's pretty good.3.0 goodA Perfect Circle eMOTIVeAttack Attack! Someday Came SuddenlyAn excellent introductory record to metalcore, and has a few inspired moments to boot (opening 30 seconds of "The People's Elbow", breakdown in "Party Foul"). Just plain fun.Backstreet Boys MillenniumBlessthefall WitnessSomewhat formulaic, but insanely catchy, and has a fair amount of technical and songwriting skill to boot.DragonForce The Power WithinEscape the Fate Dying Is Your Latest FashionEvanescence FallenCool sound, but they've much improved since.

Please, I beg of you, at least play "Rock That Body" or even "Imma Be", just not the most overplayed song on radio since Nickelback's "Rockstar".The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Am I the EnemyThe Word Alive Life Cycles2.0 poorAttack Attack!

David Guetta One LoveJustin Bieber My World 2.0Lmfao Sorry For Party RockingNicki Minaj Pink Friday: Roman ReloadedOnly download "Come on a Cone" and "I Am Your Leader" for the great production, and then laugh & facepalm at some of the stupidest lyrics known to man.Pitbull Planet Pit
