This is what metalcore should sound like. Novembre The BlueI thought materia was good. This album just blew me away. The guitar riffs and melodies aren't that complicated, but then they don't really need to be. Bluecracy and Cobalt of march are my favourites.The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness4.5 superbAlice in Chains Alice in ChainsAlter Bridge AB IIIBlue Stahli Blue StahliCelldweller CelldwellerDebut albums don't get much better than this. One Good Reason is just amazing and Frozen redefines the word 'heavy' as far as music is concerned. Last firstborn is a bit too long but is still pretty goodCelldweller Wish Upon a BlackstarSo many genres! While the lyrics in some songs may be a but cheesy (the lucky one, tainted...) the album as a whole is superb. Not perfect, but definitely a superb album. Best tracks are eon, I can't wait, birthright, the best it's gonna get and Unshakeable.Deadstar Assembly UnsavedDisillusion Back to Times of SplendorIt's a shame so few people have heard of this band. This album is fantasticEktomorf RedemptionI have to say that this band is up with my favourites. There's so much power in their music.Fades Away PerceptionsJohn Petrucci Suspended AnimationJohn Petrucci is an amazing guitarist and this is an amazing album. A few lyrics could have been nice, but when this is mostly petrucci showing off his guitar awesomeness i soon forgot about the absence of lyricsKatatonia Night Is the New DayLove and Death Between Here And LostLove it, been waiting a while for this album. Korn in every sense only lower tuning (!), no slap bass (unfortunately) and Head's vocals instead of Jon Davis' vocals. Best Nu Metal album in a long time.Maybeshewill I Was Here For a Moment, Then I Was GoneMetallica Beyond MagneticThis is exactly what Metallica should sound like. You can instantly tell from the start of Hate Train that this is what Metallica is all about.Palms PalmsPantera Vulgar Display of PowerPantera were brilliant. Dimebag Darrell was a legend and this album is probably my favourite album they did. Walk is the best song of the lot.Seba Return To ForeverSeptembre Rule 3: Conceal Your IntentionsThirteen Senses The InvitationDebuts cannot get much better than this one. Into the Fire is an awesome first track and my personal favourite, the salt world routine, is just incredible. While I like a bit of metal i always enjoy Thirteen senses because they produce some epic sounding mellow musicTyrant of Death Alice's Heroin WonderlandUneven Structure Februus4.0 excellentAfter the Burial In DreamsAlice in Chains Black Gives Way to BlueAlter Bridge One Day RemainsAnimals As Leaders Animals as LeadersAnimals As Leaders WeightlessBury Tomorrow The Union of CrownsNot usually a metalcore fan but this album is exceptionally good. Clean vocals are outstanding and production is all round very good.Crossbreed Synthetic DivisionSeasons, release me and machines are the best songs on this album, but on the whole this is pretty darned goodCrossbreed KE 101great album, although unfortunately the band have now split up, which is a real shameDanny Byrd Rave DiggerDelta-s Voyage to IsisDope American ApathyDown Down III: Over the UnderDream Theater Black Clouds and Silver Liningsthe very best of progressive metal.

It certainly isn't ground-breaking, but it certainly isn't rubbish.Lo-Pro Disintegration EffectManafest The ChaseMaybeshewill Not For Want Of TryingMaybeshewill Sing The Word Hope In Four-Part HarmonyMinistry Houses Of The MoléMudvayne Lost and Found'Determined' is a great opening track, but on the whole i was greatly impressed by this albumNovembre Novembrine WaltzNovembre MateriaOceana Birth.EaterOceana Clean HeadPelican AustralasiaPelican seem to tune their guitars to earthquakes. The whole album sounds so angry. It's not musically complicated and it doesn't really have any set tempos, but that just adds to the uniqueness that makes up Pelican.Pendulum Hold Your ColourAlthough I always enjoy listening to their newer electronic rock stuff, the old drum and bass from Hold your Colour is still irresistible to listen to. The only downside is the gaps of silence between the tracks in the 2007 reissue.Pierce the Veil Collide with the SkyPowerman 5000 Somewhere On The Other Side Of NowhereSithu Aye CassiniSkindred Union BlackOne of the best albums of 2011, and probably the best album from Skindred. Warning is fantastic, Cut Dem is brilliant, Living a Lie is so catchy it's untrue and Death to all Spies is very good. The whole album works very well.Slipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal VersesSloth Dead GenerationSnot Get SomeSoilwork Stabbing the DramaUsually I just ignore the death metal scene. But there are a few gems in the melodic death metal scene. In Flames is one of them, and this band is another one. Terrific band, Nerve is definately the best song on the album. Absolute gem of an album.System of a Down Steal This Album!I can see why they wanted people to steal this album. It's brilliantThe Album Leaf Into The Blue AgainThe Smashing Pumpkins ZeitgeistThe Smashing Pumpkins OceaniaUnwritten Law Here's to the MourningVanilla Ice Hard to SwallowNever thought I'd listen to Vanilla Ice. Although Nu Metal is a fairly hated genre of metal, I do enjoy listening to it, and this is pretty darned good as an album. I won't buy any of the other stuff he's made (maybe Bi-polar) but this is a very good album.Vex Red Start With A Strong & Persistant Desire3.5 great12 Stones The Only Easy Day Was YesterdayAdema Adema Adema UnstableAdema Kill the HeadlightsAdema did well with this album, after the slight disappointment with planets. Bobby reeves is a good vocalist and the album works very nicely. Just a shame that reeves left so chavez and ransom could rejoin but ended up leaving again soon afterwards.Alien Ant Farm ANThologyAmerican Head Charge The War Of ArtAnthrax We've Come for You AllBiohazard New World DisorderBiohazard UncivilizationBring Me the Horizon SempiternalNever been a fan of Bring me the Horizon, but there are some pretty good tracks on this album.BT These Hopeful MachinesBullet for My Valentine The PoisonCelldweller Soundtrack For The Voices In My Head 2, Chapter 01Celldweller Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head 2, Chapter 02Coldsight Until Your Last BreathDark New Day New TraditionDope LifeDope Group TherapyThey've matured, but managed to keep the same sort of genre, which is a good thingDope No RegretsOne of the main reasons I like Dope is that they stick to what they do best, rather than flow with the trend. They still make short, catchy industrial metal/nu metal songs with about 15,000 uses of the f-word in them, but the good thing is that it's what they're good at.Excision X RatedBest tracks are X Rated, SEXisM, Deviance and Swerve. Sleepless is alright, and Jaguar isn't good at allFilter Title Of RecordFilter Short BusFlybanger Headtrip to NowhereHelmet Size MattersIcon For Hire ScriptedKorn Life Is PeachyKorn Follow the LeaderKorn UntouchablesSome of Korn's greatest songs (In my opinion) are on here, which include Here To Stay and Hollow Life.Korn The Path of TotalityKorn don't carry the electronic rock off as well as other bands do, but all of the songs, especially Narcissistic Cannibal, are unbelievably catchy. It will probably get very boring after a while, thoughLevel LevelLimp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored WaterThere's nothing particularly special about Nu Metal, but almost every song from this genre is so freaking catchy it's hard not to give it a positive rating. This album is nothing special, but it's fun to listen toLimp Bizkit Significant OtherLimp Bizkit Three Dollar Bill Y'allBest Limp Bizkit album ever recorded. Yes Fred Durst is a douchebag and yes Wes Borland is a bit weird, and I hate him for taking the mick out of Dream Theater, but this is a good album.Limp Bizkit Gold CobraAutotunage is really just a joke about how crap some of today's mainstream pop artists really are. This album is not serious at all, in any way, shape or form. But it's good because of that.Linkin Park MeteoraNot as good as Hybrid theory but not as bad as Minutes to midnightMachine Head SuperchargerBy no means their best material, but this is a good album nonetheless. The single crashing around you is pretty goodMike Oldfield Tubular Bells IIMotograter MotograterNine Lashes World We ViewNovembre Dreams D'AzurOne Way Mirror One Way MirrorDestination device is the best song on this album. All the other songs are almost as good.Pleymo Episode 2: Medicine CakePuddle of Mudd Re: (Disc)overedAll in all, a decent set of cover tracks from this band. TNT cover is probably my favourite.Seventh Day Slumber The Anthem of the AngelsSlipknot SlipknotSlipknot IowaStepa StepaSwitchfoot Vice VersesT3chn0ph0b1a Grave New WorldTwin Method The Volume Of SelfTwin Method simply carry on the general nu metal trend, with added industrial feel, especially in Lost Signal, which starts off with an electronic drum beat that would probably sound just at home in a drum and bass album. They carry the trend on very well, though. It's just a shame that they have split up.Twisted Method Escape From Cape ComaUnloco Becoming I3.0 goodCreed Full CircleDark New Day Twelve Year SilenceDaughtry Break the SpellBetter than their previous two albums, partly because they actually write most of their stuff by themselves now.Dead by April Dead by Aprilclosest to pop metal can get. Not too bad, but can get quite boring after a few listens...Dirty Wormz The InfektionDope Felons And RevolutionariesNot as good as Life, but this is a debut album, and for a debut this is pretty goodEngel Blood of SaintsI don't like the lead singers voice that much, but the music works pretty well, has a real industrial feel to it, and question your place has some cool dubstep features in it.Korn Take a Look in the MirrorKorn IssuesLimp Bizkit Results May VaryOk there are a few bad songs on this album (Red Light Green Light, Behind Blue Eyes, Build A Bridge, Down Another Day) but there are some good songs on here (Eat You Alive, Phenomenon, Head For The Barricade) so this album is not awful. While it's got some of Limp Bizkit's worst songs on it, it's also got some pretty good ones too. It's not all good, but it's not all bad either.Motograter Pre-ReleaseNovembre ClassicaSeasons After Through TomorrowSlaves on Dope MetafourSlipknot All Hope Is GoneSloth AcediaTrapt TraptSolid slab of Early 2000's Alt Metal. Singles are all pretty good, and Headstrong is catchy as hell.2.5 averageBlack Veil Brides Wretched and DivineMeh not that bad, their old material is worse. Band is extremely overrated though.Emmure Slave To The GameKorn UntitledLinkin Park Living Thingsmuch, much, much better than a thousand suns. Still not up to their first two records, but definitely a step in the right directionNo One No OneAverage nu metal stuff. Not good, but not bad either.2.0 poorLinkin Park Minutes to MidnightThere are a few good songs on this album (No More Sorrow, Given Up, Bleed It Out and What I've Done), but on the whole this album was a disappointment. It seems that Linkin Park are moving away from rock to mainstream electronic stuff, and it even seems like they've almost completely ditched guitars and acoustic drums in some of the songs.Powerman 5000 Destroy What You EnjoyThis certainly does destroy what I enjoy... About how awesome Powerman 5000's music is1.5 very poorLinkin Park A Thousand Sunsjust because nu metal isn't mainstream anymore doesn't mean that you have to move away from it. Korn still do nu metal. So do Taproot and Staind. Linkin Park used to be great, now they are not. The funny thing is that my windows media player classifies this album as 'metal'. Yeah right, this is not metal in any way shape or form.Lou Reed and Metallica LuluIt's clear that Metallica have tried something different here, like Linkin Park did with a thousand suns and Korn has just done with the path of totality. However, it is clear that it hasn't worked. Metallica have recently released a new EP called Beyond Magnetic. This is Metallica returning to the Heavy Metal stuff that everyone is familiar of. 1.0 awfulBullet for My Valentine Temper TemperBFMV have some good songs off their previous albums but this is shockingLil Wayne RebirthPoor album. Awful rapping, stupid lyrics, autotuned-till-it-hurts singing and shocking guitar work...Lou Reed Metal Machine MusicThis album has no real musical structure. It is, to put it simply, 64 minutes and 11 seconds of, as Rolling Stone magazine put it, the "tubular groaning of a galactic refrigerator"Nicki Minaj Pink Friday: Roman ReloadedHoly crap this album is awful. Even a rating of 1/5 is 2 ratings too high
