This album is basically every pop trope late 00s metalcore bands crammed into their music when
they're not chugging and or in a ridiculous breakdown except this album doesn't have the ladder.
And it's actually an amusing listen haha |
| Armor For Sleep The Rain Museum | 3.5 |
| Managed to not ditch their roots. Rather, embracing the sound that made them who they are and making it even more accessible opposed to watering it down like MGK and other artists. Vocals from Jorgensen are rather flat as a result of either boredom or just being rusty from hiatus. Armor For Sleep and Anberlin is shaping 2022 and preparing the future to be a bright one for the alt rock / Pop Punk Revival scene and I couldn't be more stoked. |
| As Cities Burn Come Now Sleep | 5.0 |
| The artistic integrity this album is embedded with couldn't be articulate by a mere mortal. The energy of the dark angst indie post hardcore while complimented with wild lush progressive rock undertones overflows with perfect harmony all while poking the mind of the listener with challenging lyricism. One of the greatest examples of post-hc at its finest 6/5 |
| Attack Attack! Someday Came Suddenly | 3.0 |
| Attack Attack! This Means War | 3.0 |
| Attack Attack! Long Time, No Sea | 3.5 |
| Wasn't sure what to think of the new AA! when I first listened to the singles out of context. But after listening to them in its entirety, this EP is wildly fun. Kudos to Chris Parketny for adjusting his vocal style to really making this record sound a lot like their selftitled. Production is great. Never thought this band could make a tight record without Johnny Frank. Maybe it was Caleb Shomo that plagued the band the whole time. |

| The band's biggest effort to shake up their discography via an overhaul in their usual nagging overproduced perfected sound, choosing a distorted new look. The final product creates something more organic, gritty, and extremely powerful. This was a success. |
| August Burns Red Death Below | 4.5 |
| I very much enjoyed the "cringey" spoken word intro. It gave Jordan Dreyer I run for his money. This band has always had trouble trying to shake things up but I think they finally found it whenever they occasionally wander into deathcore-esque territory while still maintaining to steer the ship back to their signature sound. This was a success. |

Pretty delightful album if I'm being honest. Album starts off slow and then picks up with some
really pleasant moments. The overall tone of the album is uncertainty and gloom. Lyrically, it
seems to talk about the sting of nostalgia. Pretty cool and sad considering this genre of music is
pretty much dead. Cons: Vocalist sounds bored or at least out of his comfort zone. As I mentioned
before, this genre is pretty much dead, so the band seems to have a hard time balancing the
remains of the whole easycore/metalcore thing and the big melting pot of confusing influences they
were aiming for in this record. |
| Close Your Eyes We Will Overcome | 4.0 |
| If you can overlook the unwarranted easycore, the sought after half of this album is full of impressive hardcore that's just exerted with immense passion and energy, and no one else has matched it since this record. (3.7) |
| Common Be | 5.0 |
| Common Crooks Earthwalker - EP | 4.5 |
| A lot of bands can make awesome groovy post hc, but not many can do it with the charm and personality that was embedded in these guys. r(4.2 but 4.5 because I'm generous) |
| Confide Recover | 5.0 |
| This is one of my favorite albums ever. I understand people are upset that they walked away from the conservative metalcore that was their debut. But, this is just a personal favorite of mine, not to mention that in retrospect, this is one of the most solid modern post-hardcore records out there. |

| Dr. Dre's 2001 sparked a new brand of Hip-Hop music that would reign supreme for the next decade in a half, which is indeed impressive. But what isn't impressive is how tasteless this album is. But nonetheless, it is a fun listen once in a blue moon, just like any other guilty pleasure. |
| Dreamhouse Reverberating Silence | 4.0 |
| Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia | 4.0 |
| So, for everyone who is mad that people are comparing this to Emotion needs to keep their mouth shut. This modern pop 80s-esque composition is very much indeed a worthy rival to the beloved classic Emotion. |
| Eidola The Architect | 4.5 |
| It's nice to listen to a competent progressive post-hardcore record that doesn't hold the low brow connotation of the likes of swancore or hearing that half the album is a victim of going pop like some of these bands do. It feels like it's 2013 and I'm listening to Hands Like Houses! |

| Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. Puts their own thrashy spin on mainstream metalcore. Definitely the ones to hold the torch for Rise Records. |
| Fit for a King Deathgrip | 3.0 |
| Some great tracks, but not a fan of the slow paced chugging territory they were wandering off to. Dead Memory, Cold Room, and We Are All Lost are some of the best tracks of their career, and it's the rooted fast paced modern metalcore sound that they're best at. Feels like they're trying to ease their way into a new boring conservative metal makeup. |
| Fit for a King Descendants | 3.5 |
| Fit for a King Creation | Destruction | 4.0 |
| Fit for a King Dark Skies | 4.0 |
| This is the best it can get for Fit For A King and maybe even metalcore at this era in time. What I adore about this record is how vulnerable Kirby is with his lyrics and the album in general has this hopeless gloom to it. They only parts I couldn't vibe with was the slower timed slipknot esque attempts. But fortunately, all those tracks were only two minutes or so. Oblivion is probably the greatest ending to an album if I have ever heard one. |
| From Autumn to Ashes Holding A Wolf By The Ears | 4.0 |
| Such an interesting album. As redundant as this genre is, this album feels unique and one of a kind. This thing is extremely dark and heavy but it also has the comfort of They're Only Chasing Safety . This is one of those albums where you can hear the sheer energy and emotion piercing through the music. |
| Gold Necklace Gold Necklace | 3.0 |
Kurt Travis is an amazing vocalist. Hell, probably my favorite singer of all time. But, listening
to thirty minutes straight of just his falsetto is strenuous. Instrumentally, it's sounds like
they took mathcore and watered it down to the point where it sounds midwestern emo. |
| Hail the Sun Mental Knife | 4.0 |
| Hearts and Hands My Own Machine | 5.0 |
| Here I Come Falling Oh Grave, Where Is Thy Victory | 3.5 |
| How in the hell did this slip under my radar? This is a rare specific sound that I adore. Gritty raw vocals and even filthier authentic instruments devoid from synth and other filler. The album does tend to get a little tiresome at the end. |
| Hopes Die Last Your Face Down Now | 4.5 |
| I Am King Onehundred | 4.0 |
| It's a tragedy for any fan of the genre to overlook this. It would be an understatement to say they were ahead of their time. Big names in the scene took a long time to pump out such energetic and groovy melodies like this. These guys did as soon as they appeared on the scene. Clean vocalist, Angel Flores flexes all over this album with his infectious and versatile licks and runs. It's a shame Rise didn't get these guys the backing they needed. |

| Jamie's Elsewhere They Said a Storm Was Coming | 4.5 |
| This band is so talented that I amusingly like to think they stigmatized this album with unwarranted cliche synths and breakdowns just to challenge themselves and see how well they could execute it. Obviously, their soulful take on post hc wasn't interesting at the time, so they had to asking alexandria it up, which makes this album a fun beautiful enigma. |
| Jamie's Elsewhere Rebel - Revive | 4.5 |
| This is a culmination of all the hard work the whole modern post hardcore scene was striving for in the late 00s. Absurd energy, unbelievable melody, and fun. It's a shame this album was mask via former singer leaving to go to OM&M. |

Step in the right direction. It's just too bad they took too many freaking erratic steps backwards
on their last three albums? Maybe four? Who the heck knows.
Also, what I find silly is that some tracks rule hard but mid song when they build up and hype you
up to what you assume would be a nice breakdown, they instead ditch it and do some weird random
shit. I understand you don't want to be cliche but just stick to what you're good at. |

One of the most refreshing and competent metalcore records I've heard in a while. Even more
impressive when you consider that this came out in 2017 when we thought that the genre has been
wrung out to ad nauseam. Get's a bit tiresome near the end though. Also want to point out how
ridiculous sputnik's user base is considering how identical this sounds to Wage War. |

| This album had small room for error and they capitalized with flying colors. The production is bottom line flawless, much tighter than their last attempt and devoid of cringy trap taps scattered throughout. The strong song writing and production sets it up nicely to where Matt can easily hit a home run with his seasoned background of premier professional singing. Matt turned Slaves into a pop act without shying away from a standard mainstream songwriting formula, and the rest of the band followed suit and did their best to compliment him surprisingly without selling out. Slaves seems like THE ONLY band to do the whole post hc/pop rock shtick correctly. 5/5 |

Great idea for an album but unfortunately, it falls flat on its face. Whether it's the completely
lackluster instrumentals from the band or the spectacular vocal roster completely dropping the
ball with their terrible performances. Although something good did come out of this: Matt
Macdonald (The Classic Crime) was only one that put meticulous care into his feature with some
finesse chops and gut wrenching lyrics. One of the prettiest songs I have ever heard. |
| Search The City A Fire So Big The Heavens Can See It | 5.0 |
| SECRETS Fragile Figures (Deluxe) | 4.5 |
Brutally fantastic. They added a few more mind blowing tracks to an already mind blowing record. I
would have never imagine this band being even more faster and energetic, but the new tracks
unbelievably proves me wrong. This band was truly the best of its time. |
| Shaquille O'Neal You Can't Stop the Reign | 3.5 |
| Skillet Comatose | 4.0 |
| This is the absolute zenith of hard rock and nu-metal ability. This record breaks the fabric of space and time of the realm of mainstream rock. There's nothing anyone can do to progress this genre of music. This album has done it all. It is finished. |

| You will find some real exciting moments on here, but in all honesty, it's hidden behind this vast lackluster and quite boring sound that made up their debut. It just might be worth your time to listen to a more consistent band. |
| Strangers To Wolves Lost Boys | 4.0 |
| Stray from the Path Euthanasia | 1.0 |
| Texas in July One Reality | 3.5 |
| Album was released during a bizarre period where hypocritical sputnik users complained about chugs and breakdowns while simultaneously scoffs about how boring this release is. This album is a solid metalcore release in complete retrospect. Breakdowns are reserved and songwriting is truly cleverly mature and melodic all throughout. I never gave this band the slightest chance due to the stigma around them, but I can in confidence admit I am now a fan of Texas in July. |
| That's Outrageous! Teenage Scream | 2.5 |

| Not necessarily bad, but 12 tracks of The Word Alive goes pop is ad nauseam. |
| The Word Alive Real. | 4.0 |
A very amusing record to say the least. This album is the start of this reputable band going
stale, but the album still holds up as it is full of life and vigor. The band also managed to
withstand the disaster of Cameron Mizell's take on most of the genre's junior albums that he
produced with the shotty and harsh production, a weird direction that he was attempting to mold
the scene with at the time. Somehow, the album turned out great with tight production but with a
hint of the rawness that Mizell was shooting for. Some tracks like Broken Circuit for an
example is some of the most experimental attempts yet. Telle's vocals are flat, Lighthouse
and The Runaway are train wrecks. But despite that, this is perhaps one of the last known
memories of TWA being a cohesive and joyful band. |
| Thousand Below Gone in Your Wake | 4.0 |
| Are you guys kidding me? This was absolutely delightful. |
| Thousand Below The Love You Let Too Close | 5.0 |
| This composition has all the fundamentals of Define The Great Line while also being an evolved substance of the creativity of influences like a Sleeping With Sirens. It is by far a complete encapsulation of decades of post hc evolution capitalized to the t. |

| Too Close to Touch Haven't Been Myself | 5.0 |
| Touche Amore Stage Four | 5.0 |
| Turnstile Glow On | 5.0 |
| Tut Preacher's Son | 5.0 |
| Ah yes, my favorite one hit masterpiece. You will never listen to an album as smooth as this one, with the jazzy soulful delicate beats produced by the wizardly talent of producer Ktoven. And, you will also never fathom lyricism as harmless and philosophical as the poetic Tut. A very beautifully crafted album. Also, shout out to all the talented people who laid down the saxophones solos! |
| Until I Wake Inside My Head | 2.5 |
| An unfortunate miscue. "Octane" was a massive hit. But unfortunately, the band could not hold it together while writing their debut. A bunch of talent thrown away due to lack of stamina and ideas for a full-length. Shame. |
| Us, From Outside Revived | 4.5 |
| Valoria Dead Languages | 3.5 |
| Vanna The Search Party Never Came | 3.5 |
| Vanna A New Hope | 4.0 |
| This album should be respected by everyone. A very clever late 00s post-hardcore album with probably the greatest single to ever drop in the scene (safe to say). It'll be a no-brainer to look back on this and give it props. |
| Vince Staples Big Fish Theory | 4.5 |
| Volumes Happier? | 4.5 |
| A melodic hardcore revival with some random bubblegum pop influences? I'm all about it. |
| War of Ages Eternal | 5.0 |
This is without a doubt one of my favorite metalcore albums of all time. Not a lot to hate here.
It has a healthy balance of trendy breakdown foolery and all the technicality of a traditional
"metalhead" band like Killswitch engage or an Unearth. |
| We Are Defiance Trust in Few | 5.0 |
| We Came As Romans Cold Like War | 3.0 |
I'm curious as to why they ditched Dave Stephens on cleans when he did a pretty darn good job on
prior album. Regardless, the band shockingly reinvents itself with some really well executed heavy
breakdowns and technicality. Unfortunately, they seems a little disconnected as the album
struggles to be cohesive with confusing experimental production and 80s-esque clean choruses most
likely provoked by Kyle. Still a solid attempt nonetheless. |
| When Forever Ends Leviathan | 3.5 |
| Wolves at the Gate Eulogies | 4.5 |
| Seems like this album was invented in a lab to make it the most catchiest earworm in all metalcore. It's that damn clever. |
