5.0 classic
Anberlin Cities
The closest thing to a perfect album. Once you get past the unnecessary intro track, Cities is a captivating, thought provoking journey, weaving through lost loves, cherished memories of youth, and despair and wrong in this world. The album is summarised and magnified by the closer *fin, which is an epic track, with a highlight of Stephen Christian improvising the closing, and haunting lyrics.
As Cities Burn Come Now Sleep
Emery ...In Shallow Seas We Sail
Jon Foreman Fall and Winter
Switchfoot Nothing is Sound
Underoath Lost in the Sound of Separation
A fitting final album for Aaron Gillespie. From the energising opener, "Breathing in a new mentality", to the breath-taking closer "Too bright to see, too loud to hear", Underoath don't take a wrong turn.

4.5 superb
Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago
City and Colour Bring Me Your Love
Copeland You Are My Sunshine
Dead Poetic Vices
A good, consistent album, until the closer 'vices', which serves as a great closing track. A fairly dramatic change in sound from the last album, mostly due to the lack of screamed vocals.
Frightened Rabbit The Midnight Organ Fight
fun. Aim and Ignite
A enjoyable album, filled with unbelievably catchy, carefree songs, highlighted by Nate Reuss' soaring voice.
Jon Foreman Spring and Summer
mewithoutYou Ten Stories
Radiohead The Bends
Relient K Forget and Not Slow Down
The perfect breakup album, putting to death (slightly) the impression that Relient K is an annoyingly happy band. Despite the positive outlook, there are certainly depressing moments throughout the album. Highlights include Part Of It, and Sahara
Showbread The Fear of God
Soundtrack (Film) Garden State
A fitting soundtrack, perfectly complementing the mood of the film and main character, in a lost and repetitive life.
Switchfoot Oh! Gravity.
The Gaslight Anthem The '59 Sound
The Gaslight Anthem American Slang
The Horrible Crowes Elsie
The Tallest Man on Earth There's No Leaving Now
The White Stripes Get Behind Me Satan
Underoath Ø (Disambiguation)
The only Underoath record not featuring Aaron Gillespie, shows the band wasn't a one man show. Whilst certainly much darker heavier than previous efforts, lyrics remain as sharp as ever, and the drumming of replacement Daniel Davison is superb
Vampire Weekend Contra

Anberlin Never Take Friendship Personal
Anberlin New Surrender

Underoath They're Only Chasing Safety
A fairly consistent, extremely catchy, and fun post-hardcore album to listen to. More fun to listen to songs individually, or else it gets a bit repetitive

2.5 average
Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Deas Vail All The Houses Look The Same
fun. Some Nights
fun. got serious. Whilst not changing too much in songwriting, they decided to go for a completely different production style, in the vein of R&B/Rap and it doesn't work. Mildly enjoyable songs scattered throughout. Disappointing sophomore
Saosin Saosin
Switchfoot Learning To Breathe
Switchfoot Hello Hurricane
The Almost Southern Weather
The Strokes Angles

2.0 poor
Anberlin Blueprints for the Black Market
Anberlin Dark Is the Way, Light Is a Place
After Cities and New Surrender, Anberlin set themselves up for great expectations. This album failed to meet this, with slightly darker and less catchy songs, with lyrics much less gripping or interesting.
August Burns Red Thrill Seeker
Mae Singularity
Panic! at the Disco Vices & Virtues
Underoath The Changing of Times

1.5 very poor
