Glassjaw Worship and Tribute |
Greet Death New Hell |
Cigarettes After Sex just got stoner rock pedalboards. Greet Death sound so massive when they want to be, but a lot of the album time is spent meandering through slower, quieter passages. This would be an easy 5 if they leaned into the heavier side like on Do You Feel Nothing. Edit: it's been over a year and I can't get this out of my head. |
Joliette Principia |
La Dispute Wildlife |
Night Verses Lift Your Existence |
O'Brother Garden Window |
O'brother is a growing musical behemoth, and this album is a perfect example of that. |
O'Brother Endless Light |
Tanner's vocals have gotten a lot better and the music as powerful as its ever been. This is exceptional. I thought the singles were good but they might be the weakest songs on the album. |
Parabelle A Summit Borderline/A Drop Oceanic |
Excessively ambitious and lamentably produced are two ways to accurately describe Parabelle's initial double album, but the songwriting somehow shines through because of it. "Blur" deserves a separate mention for being Kevin Matisyn's outright best song. |
Radiohead Kid A |
Gets better with every listen. From the first 5 notes of Everything in Its Right Place to the final sweeps in Motion Picture Soundtrack, an emotional trek takes place over slowly devolving wasteland imagined through music that only Radiohead could produce. |
Radiohead OK Computer |
Radiohead In Rainbows |
Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell Live |

The Menzingers On the Impossible Past |
The Smiths The Queen Is Dead |
Took me a while to get into this, but it deserves the 5 |
Thrice The Artist in the Ambulance |
I found Thrice through the title track. Impressive songwriting, impressive instrumentation, very impressive vocals and lyrics. Love the guitar tone on this album, it has a real unique flavor |
Thrice Vheissu |
This is Thrice's equivalent of Radiohead's Kid A. |
Thrice Beggars |
Thrice The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II |
Thrice Live At The House Of Blues |
Thrice The Artist in the Ambulance (Revisited) |
Unironically Thrice's best post-hiatus release thus far. I think this could have done without the guest features, but it's otherwise a perfect reimagining of the original album. They succeeded at capturing the impeccable live sound that they've been using for the past 15 years. Seriously, every single track is noticeably improved over its original. |
Thursday No Devolucion |
It took me a couple of listens to realize how good this album is. It's perfect for sleeping to, but not in a bad way. Every song is captivating and ends up producing a visual image in my mind that I only experience when listening to bands like Tool and Radiohead. |

Dyne Side Immigrant |
Well, this is wicked cool. The Glassjaw and Fugazi comparisons are unavoidable, but there's more going on here. The production bounces between lo-fi hardcore, standard metalcore, and newer techno sounds to provide for a lot of variety, but more memorable is the vocal performance. I'm a sucker for the passionate, barely-on-key vocals in old post-hardcore and emo. Dyne Side's Emmanuel Costa-Maya nails it. |
Elliott Smith Either/Or |
Elliott Smith Elliott Smith |
Evans Blue The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends |
This isn't an exceptional album in any objective way, but I'm attached to it regardless. Kevin Matisyn's vocals rand lyrics are something special, and this album is him and Evans Blue's musicians at their best. |
Evans Blue The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume |
This was my favorite album for a good while. Why? Because it captures the emotions of falling in and out of love and moving on in such a way that you can remember that first love as if you were there. There are so many different melodies in this song, and each member shines in his own. Kevin Matisyn's unique voice is the most earnest I've ever heard in music. A Girl and a Cross, Eclipsed, and Dark that Follows are perfect. |

Spanish Love Songs Schmaltz |
Spanish Love Songs Brave Faces Everyone |
I really liked Schmaltz and this just blows it out of the water. The writing, the hooks, the vocals, the production... everything is so much tighter and powerful. Yes, the lyrics are all thematically similar, and yes, the vocals do walk the line between shouting and lamenting. That's the point. For me, those have always been the band's strengths. With Brave Faces Everyone, they have added that compelling musical element that was lacking at times in Schmaltz. This thing is straight fire front to back. |

Thrice is just one of those bands that can work their instruments to create a unique and magical sound that only a select few bands are capable of. |

I like this album, but there's something more than that to it. It's infectious, it's emotional, and it's so well-done that I have to question why this album doesn't get more attention. So many powerful lyrics throughout the album, matched by Tori Amos' incredible voice and a decent band behind her, make this quite the album. |

Very dark and emotional (with the exception of a song or two). The instrumentation is great (especially the drumming on Lay Me Down). Personally, I just love the sound of the album. It's so dark and different from every other rock band. There are couple radio-friendly songs, but the chord progressions and lyrics touch a darker place that most bands can't reach.rThe range of the album is also great. There's some heavy metallic songs as well as some slower acoustic songs. I wish they could've used fewer electronic elements and brought in some screaming vocals, but for a band that was off for half a decade, it's definitely more than I ever expected. |

The Western Den A Light Left On |
This is the chillest thing I've heard since Carrie & Lowell. The Western Den mixes carefully crafted instrumental passages and haunting melodies in their debut LP. Not sure if comparing this to Sufjan Stevens is accurate in anyway but it's having a similar impact on me. As someone who isn't drawn to slower acoustic jams, this is surprisingly captivating. |

Thrice Red Sky |
Thrice To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere |
I think some of Dustin's lyrics here might lag behind the band's music, but the music is sublime. Thrice have done something really special here by coming back from a hiatus to deliver possibly their best musical album to date. They kept talking about their equipment and search for a great guitar tone in interviews, and it's easy to see what they're talking about. They absolutely nail it there. |

Matthew Good Chaotic Neutral |
It's all great but nothing particularly stands out to me, sadly. It could be the production. This
is one of those albums that feels just a bit overproduced. I think Matthew Good is at his best
when imperfections, especially in his voice, are noticeable. I personally love that and it seems
to be lacking on Chaotic Neutral. |

This is Parabelle's most predictable album to date. They do what they do rather well, and it's fairly catchy. I wish it were a bit more innovative and varied from song to song but the release of the rerecorded A Summit Borderline & A Drop in the Ocean songs make up for it. |
Parabelle The Rose Avail |
On first listen this seems like improvement over The Kill Plan, but there's a few too many dull songs on this for me to get really excited. |

For Lead Sails Paper Anchors, it really comes down to what you're expecting. This is basically a pop-punk meets nu-metal album. The pitch correction can get very annoying though. |

Everything in that song is basically expanded in other songs in the album.rI heard the song Master of Puppets before listening to the album, and my initial reaction was, "So Metallica found a way to increase the length of one song into a full album."rMaybe it's only fair to say that because the song has so much in it, but it really seems like there's not much reason to listen to the whole album if you only have to listen to one song to experience the whole thing. |

Kings of radio rock doing what they've always done: adapting current pop trends to the easiest and most
digestible format possible. At least they decided to take a couple risks, and they are easily the best songs on
the album. Check out "Got Me Runnin Round" for proof |

I don't really like Shinedown, but there are some good songs on here if you can skip the radio hits. Call Me is excellent. |

A good collection of Staind hits. Epiphany and Price to Play always get me. The bonus tracks are great too. The Sober cover is excellent, Aaron matches Maynard's emotion very well. |

Only a couple of songs I liked here. Most were just too forgettable |

1989 reminds me of the most painful fact that Taylor Swift is 5 years older than me. If only this were named 1994 |

Not sure what the deal with this album is. There are a couple of good parts but they don't justify the monotony of the rest of the album |
Three Days Grace Live at the Palace (DVD) |
Thrice First Impressions |
Thrice Palms |
Half of this is a generic mess, half of this is Thrice's usual brilliance. I'll never understand how Hold Up a Light got past everyone and onto this album. It might just be the worst song they've put out since Identity Crisis. |

I like a couple of the songs on here, especially the title track, but I can't even get through the rest of the songs. |
Trapt Only Through the Pain |
Radio rock that I'll openly admit to liking... Black Rose is amazing. |
Tropical Fuck Storm Braindrops |
There's the same frayed wires guitar tone but so much of the explosive edge that I loved on A
Laughing Death in Meatspace is absent here. They do get loud on occasion and it's awesome when
they do, but there's also a lot of drawn-out quiet instrumental mush in there that doesn't feel
like it's building into anything. At least the backup vocals are abundant. They're the best part
about this album. |

Maybe I'm just stuck in the past because this doesn't even compare to anything Thrice has done. Boring production, boring songwriting. It sounds like Switchfoot, Matchbox Twenty, Three Doors Down, or any of those other bands that continue to put out absurdly generic music |
Elder Brother Heavy Head |
Saw these guys live. Absolutely nothing to stand out. The guitars and vocals sound okay on the recording, but they're still so dull |
Fall Out Boy American Beauty/American Psycho |
Do you like Fall Out Boy? Their early work was a little too 'pop punk' for my taste, but when Folie a Deux came rout in '08, I think they really came into their own - both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a rclear, crisp sound, and a fresh varnish of pop culture idealism that really gives the songs a big boost. They've rbeen compared to My Chemical Romance, but I think Fall Out Boy has a far more comprehensive, satirical rsense of humor. In '15, Fall Out Boy released this, American Beauty/American Psycho, their most raccomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Centuries", a song so catchy most people rprobably don't listen to the lyrics - but they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of being famous, rand the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself! Hey Futures!r |

Mediocre nu metal music combined with popular overdone metalcore production. Still has some catchy moments |
Pop Evil Onyx |
Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork |
Homme's vocals are boring. The guitars are boring. The drums are boring. The whole band is pretty boring. |
Red (USA) Release the Panic |
Rev Theory Light It Up |
There are some catchy songs here, but all around, it's a fairly hollow album. Album art is pretty cool though |
Rev Theory Justice |
Rise Against The Black Market |
Rise Against has been at it for a while and they sound exactly the same. Their complete refusal to take risks makes for a frustrating listen. It's not a bad album, but there's simply nothing there to differentiate it from everything else they've done |
Santana Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics |
Senses Fail If There Is Light, It Will Find You |
Senses Fail made an album of 2004-era pop punk with pretty mixed results. There's a few catchy moments, a few embarrassingly bad cliches, and quite a bit of forgettable in between. I can't shake the feeling that I've heard this album before. |
Silverstein A Beautiful Place to Drown |
Simple Plan Simple Plan |
Sixx:A.M. This Is Gonna Hurt |
There's a couple songs I'm going to skip and there's a couple songs that I can't stop listening to... seems to be the case with most mainstream rock albums these days.rSure Feels Right, Deadlihood, and Help Is On the Way are my favorites, and Skin is beautiful |

Taylor Swift Reputation |
Reputation is much longer and much less interesting than I was hoping for. That cover art is fantastic though. |
The Black Keys El Camino |
I don't understand why The Black Keys are so highly praised. Their music is fairly bland, and they sell themselves at duo but can't play half their songs without two extra players.rEvery live video of them I've seen is the same way. Mediocre energy, mediocre music. There's better music in the genre, so I'm not sure why people are settling for this stuff. |
The Menzingers Some of it Was True |
The Veer Against the Grain |
Thirty Seconds to Mars This Is War |
Three Days Grace Life Starts Now |
Three Days Grace Transit of Venus |
Interesting album, although it falls victim of a common issue in this genre, where the promise of sincere and emotional lyrics just reveal how hollow and emotionless they are. Thank god for that opening track, Sign of the Times, which is the only track worth mentioning. |
Thrice Deeper Wells |
I'm not sure what I should have expected with a group of songs that didn't make the cut on Thrice's worst album. Outside of Stumbling West, these are instantly forgettable tracks marred by awful production and even worse lyricism. |

Dustin Kensrue The Water and the Blood |
As nice as it is to hear Dustin's voice, that's all there is on this record. This doesn't feel like real music. |
Egypt Central White Rabbit |
If you're listening to album with a song titled "Kick Ass", you're gonna have a bad time.rMotley Crue would be able to get off with something like this, but Egypt Central can't and doesn't. There are a couple good songs, but overall, the album is disappointing. |
FEVER 333 Made An America |
Fight Or Flight A Life By Design? |
Painfully average. Given the people creating the album, I had some doubts but was also optimistic. Unfortunately, every doubt was realized. It's yet another mediocre mainstream rock album, with only a few interesting moments that give it a 2. |
Fitz and the Tantrums All The Feels |
It's not without a few catchy moments but most of its 17 tracks are the same uninspired electronic-infused pop rock that you can find in a dozen other identical bands. |

Greta Van Fleet From the Fires |
Hell or Highwater Begin Again |
I really wanted to like this, but I just couldn't. The songs seem extremely overproduced and devoid of any real emotion. It's very dry and the only thing keeping it from being 3 Doors Down is Brandon Saller's voice, which seems like the only focus this album ends up with. Even "Find the Time to Breathe", which Saller made a demo of and released on Youtube, ends up being a boring mainstream rock song. |
Hinder Take It to the Limit |

Nickelback Dark Horse |
Nickelback Here and Now |
Nickelback Get Rollin' |
Just imagine if they actually leaned into the country rock tunes like High Time and Steel Still Rusts, that would least have the potential to be interesting. A couple early tracks have some decent riffs and the production is impeccable as always. A solid 2 |
Papa Roach The Connection |
Pedro the Lion Phoenix |
Rains From the Ashes |
Sloppy and uninspired follow up record. I'm really disappointed with it since I know the band is capable of more |
Rise Against Endgame |
Saint Asonia Saint Asonia |
It's like One X and 14 Shades of Grey had a child. A couple good tracks but outside of the nostalgia, there's nothing of substance here. |
Shinedown Amaryllis |
Staind Confessions Of The Fallen |
Starset Divisions |
Sun Kil Moon Benji |
Pretty sure I never want to listen to this album again. Once was enough |
The Fray How to Save a Life |
The Menzingers From Exile |
Maybe it's that I didn't love Hello Exile, but these versions are mostly miss for me. For stripped-down renditions, they feel overproduced and lifeless. There's way too much echo, the drums might as well be a drum machine, and the acoustic strumming on some tracks is aggressively high in the mix that it's grating. |
Theory of a Deadman Scars and Souvenirs |
Theory of a Deadman Savages |
The songwriting is pretty bad, but this is one of the most overproduced albums I've ever heard. Every single song has some unnecessary effects on the vocals to make Connolly sound even more ridiculous than he normally does |
Thirty Seconds to Mars Love Lust Faith + Dreams |
Three Days Grace One-X |
Remember TDG's self-titled released had a song called Overrated? It's an excellent example of foreshadowing. |
