Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicCult of Luna Somewhere Along the HighwayMy "the album," both beautiful and crushingly heavy. This, for me, is what post-metal is all about.Godspeed You! Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞ISIS OceanicRosetta The Galilean SatellitesBoth discs at the same time: IT'S MASSIVE! Both in sound and atmosphere. I also like the story the album tells and it sort of helps me get into the music. The closing moments of Au Pays Natal/Sol are absolutely marvelous. 4.5 superbAgalloch The MantleAlda Passageblink-182 Enema Of The StateCult of Luna Eternal KingdomGodspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to HeavenISIS PanopticonWhile Aaron Turner's growling vocals are without a doubt the best I have ever heard, the clean vocals are rather unpolished, which sometimes suits the music perfectly, and sometimes doesn't. Other than that, this is a damn nearly perfect album that does both heavy and soothing aspects brilliantly, has a fantastic atmosphere, and is truly more than just the sum of its parts.Neurosis Given to the RisingI wasn't a huge fan of this one before, but one morning I took a long walk in the woods before/during the dawn while listening to this. That really put me in the right mood and I got massive vibes from the album. Rosetta Wake/LiftGreat lyrics delivered powerfully, beautiful guitar & bass melodies, each instrument sits perfectly in the mix, Temet Nosce is one the most calming tracks I've ever heard, the atmosphere... I like this. A LOT.Year of No Light AusserweltMassive walls of sound, occasionally balanced by atmospheric drone. This is an album that demands full attention and multiple listens, but oh how it rewards you for it.4.0 excellent*shels Plains Of The Purple BuffaloAlkaline Trio From Here to InfirmaryCity of Ships Minor WorldCult of Luna SalvationDeath Blues EnsembleDescendents Milo Goes to CollegeThis album won't take a lot of your time and it's sure to make you grin!Grift SynerHanging Garden At Every DoorA pleasant listening experience overall, but missing something I can't quite put my finger on. Also, clean vocals occasionally lack emotion.Khoma TsunamiLess Than Jake Hello RockviewLess Than Jake GNV FLAOmega Massif KarpatiaRosetta The AnaestheteThe Ocean PelagialAs soon as I heard about the concept of this album, I wanted to hear it. I love the idea of the album getting progressively darker and more claustrophobic as it progresses, as if the listener is slowly sinking to the very bottom of the deepest part of all the oceans on earth. With this in mind I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed as there are a few songs (signals of anxiety & let them believe) that break up this "sinking feeling," at least for me. Don't get me wrong, they're good songs, they just break the flow. Even so, this is still a very good album with a fantastic concept.Tool LateralusI usually don't like things that are highly technical, but this works. I don't find this absolutely amazing, though. Can't really say what it's missing for me, but it's something... This is technically brilliant, but doesn't quite evoke enough feelings in me to score it higher. But I still like it a lot.We Lost the Sea Departure SongsYear of No Light Nord3.5 greatAgalloch Ashes Against the GrainCult of Luna VertikalI: The Weapon, In Awe Of and Passing Through are among their best songs without a doubt. There really isn't a poor track on the record, but that said, much of the stuff just doesn't grab you the same way as the previous records did. Still, the album is well paced and an enjoyable listen.Faraquet The View From This TowerISIS Wavering RadiantMuse Origin of SymmetryMuse Black Holes & RevelationsPanopticon Roads to the NorthPelican Forever BecomingRed Sparowes At The Soundless DawnRosetta A Determinism of MoralitySolstafir Svartir SandarThere are great moments, and then there are moments when the album sort of drags on. I'm fairly sure I will change this rating and give it a higher score later on, once I manage to fully concentrate on it throughout the whole album (it's really long you know...) But even now, I find this very enjoyable.This Will Destroy You Another LanguageWoods of Desolation As the Stars3.0 goodBrother/Ghost Black IceChelsea Wolfe Pain Is BeautyFeeder Echo ParkThere insanely catchy stuff, mellow stuff and boring stuff. These stuffs can all be found in this album. Luckily the boring stuff is in the minority. Feels like a well balanced album. The Japanese/Korean version adds a few tracks that all feel pretty good to me, especially Just a day, the song that got me into Feeder in the first place. Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!Heiress Of Great SorrowJoy Division Unknown PleasuresMark Lanegan Whiskey For the Holy GhostMinsk The Crash and the DrawNadja Skin Turns To GlassPelican What We All Come to NeedEnjoyable, but slightly repetitive. Feels like it doesn't really go anywhere. Still, it does have it's moments.Queens of the Stone Age ...Like ClockworkSolid and catchy, but it just doesn't blow my brains out. I think it might grow on me though, so I might change my rating after a few more listens.
