| So awesome. Keys are prominent on this CD, the drumming is memorable and very fast, the screaming is varied and high pitched, and the songs don't seem too long or boring. Such a great black metal CD |
| Abominable Putridity The Anomalies of Artificial Origin | 4.0 |

| AHHHHHHHH CORONARY RECONSTRUCTION. Awesome EP with a sick Entombed cover. I love this band. |
| AFI Sing the Sorrow | 4.5 |
| This Celluloid Dream, Girl's Not Grey, and The Leaving Song Part 2 are my favorites on this CD. It's pretty much AFI at their finest: not too punk or scream laden, and before they were mainstream. Classic listen |

| Architects Hollow Crown | 4.0 |
| Great metalcore CD that shows the more frenzied and chaotic side of Architects in "Dethroned" and "Borrowed Time" and a more melodic side in "In Elegance" and "Left With A Last Minute." Sam shines throughout the album, combining a solid but boring yell mixed with awesome clean vocals. The good production is also a plus. |

| Very pleasant clean vocals, and a very diverse range of harsh vocals. above average drumming for their genre, mixed with a tried and true formula for songs. It's been awhile since this CD has been out and I definitely like it a lot less. Not so much a fan anymore. |

| Avenged Sevenfold Sounding the Seventh Trumpet | 3.5 |
| Avenged Sevenfold Waking the Fallen | 4.5 |
| Another CD that really influenced me to start getting into heavier music. I first heard Chapter 4 on Madden 2004 and from that point on I was hooked. This is A7X at their prime, and even though they may suck now, there's no denying that this is a very influential and classic metalcore release. |

| Beneath the Massacre Marée Noire | 3.5 |
| Beneath the Massacre Incongruous | 3.5 |
| Beneath the Massacre Dystopia | 4.0 |
| "No Future," "Procreating The Infection," and "Our Common Grave" all mix a ton of technicality with some simpler, dumbed down breakdowns to create an awesome mix of creative, but bland-at-the-same-time death metal. Elliot's vocals definitely improved from previous releases, as did the overall mix and production quality. |
| Beneath The Sky More Than You Can Handle | 2.5 |
| Beneath The Sky The Day the Music Died | 2.5 |
| Beneath The Sky What Demons Do To Saints | 3.0 |
| Beneath The Sky In Loving Memory | 4.0 |
| Joey mixes cat-like hisses and death growls with melodic guitar playing and above-average singing choruses. During the choruses, you may be reminded of Killswitch Engage, but have no fear: In Loving Memory blows them out of the water. The definitive Beneath The Sky CD. |

| Listened about five more times and this is the worst Bleeding Through release they have ever done. The epitome of boring, cliche, and overdone. This is coming from a diehard metalcore fan. |

| Bleeding Through This Is Love, This Is Murderous | 3.0 |
| Bleeding Through The Truth | 3.5 |
| Bleeding Through The Great Fire | 3.5 |
| Bleeding Through Declaration | 4.0 |
| Bleeding Through at their best. Marta is WAY more prominent on this CD than any other BT release, in part by the production skill of Devin Townsend. "Declaration," "Sister Charlatan," and "There Was A Flood" are awesome blast-beat infused tracks. If only they continued this trend with their self-titled... |

| Yeah it's arena rock but this is BB at their finest. "Without You," "Hopeless," and "What Lies Beneath" are all great takes at reinventing BB and showing that they can show their softer side too. |

| Bullet for My Valentine The Poison | 4.0 |
| Influential metalcore that really helped me get into screaming music. The drums are above average, the riffing is awesome, and the vocals are great. "4 Words" is my favorite song. |
| Call Us Forgotten A Crusade For The Broken EP | 4.0 |
| Awesome EP that really shows a lot of potential. Not all breakdowns, use of 3 screaming vocalists, and great lyrics. Clean vocals are lacking but other than that it's an awesome debut. |
| Call Us Forgotten A Hope Remains EP | 4.5 |
| Carnifex Dead in My Arms | 3.0 |
| Carnifex The Diseased and Poisoned | 3.5 |
| Carnifex Until I Feel Nothing | 3.5 |
| Carnifex Hell Chose Me | 4.0 |
| SO MUCH better than anything Carnifex has put out before. This CD is more death metal than deathcore. The breakdowns are a lot more sparse and the production slays. Awesome progression. |

| Chevelle This Type Of Thinking (Could Do Us In) | 4.0 |
| "The Clincher" and "Vitamin R" introduced me to Chevelle. I love Pete's vocals on this CD, and it's a little bit of a step up from Wonder What's Next. My favorite tracks are "To Return" and "Vitamin R." |
| Close Your Eyes Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts | 4.0 |
| Confession Can't Live, Can't Breathe | 2.5 |
| Confession Cancer | 3.5 |
| Crafter is back and he sounds more awesome than ever. Cancer shows some awesome potential for the Aussie band. "That Scag And His Floozie" and "Must've Cut His Heart Out" are really melodic and fast hardcore tracks that combine with pummeling breakdowns to form a great debut CD. I'm stoked on this. |
| Confession The Long Way Home | 4.0 |
| Converge Petitioning the Empty Sky | 1.5 |
| Converge No Heroes | 1.5 |
| Converge Jane Doe | 2.0 |
| Have tried over 5 times to sit down and listen to this abomination all the way through. I have come to the conclusion: it is sputnik's most overrated album of all time. The lyrics are the only good part. I can't stand Converge and I listen to music with screaming only about 90% of the time. |
| Converge Axe to Fall | 2.0 |
| Dance Gavin Dance Happiness | 2.5 |
| Dance Gavin Dance Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean | 3.0 |
| Dance Gavin Dance Dance Gavin Dance (Instrumental Demos) | 3.0 |
| Dance Gavin Dance Downtown Battle Mountain II | 3.0 |
| Make no mistake guys, Jon's scream is ALL studio work. Listened to him track even at Interlace, Chris Crummet and I agreed he was the worst screamer we had ever worked with. Jinny no longer belts out high notes and is content with lazily lofting through this CD. If he is no longer the high point, then what is? Sure, the guitar work is crazy, there's some rapping, but DBM 2 falls way short of the original. Not a fan. |
| Dance Gavin Dance Downtown Battle Mountain | 4.0 |
| A must have post-hardcore release. This shows Jonny lighting up all of the tracks with his soul-influenced voice and both guitarists riffing and noodling away in melodic fashion. All of the songs sound very different from each other, and the production sounds great (contrary to everyone's opinion). |
| Dance Gavin Dance Dance Gavin Dance | 4.0 |
| Kurt and DGD at their prime. Honestly think this CD is a step up from Downtown Battle Mountain. "Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most" and "Rock Solid" are my favorite tracks, although the latter annoys the shit out of my friends. I kinda lost interest in DGD after they released Happiness, although I'm SO stoked for DBM Part 2. |

| Probably my favorite CD by Dashboard/acoustic band. Got me through a lot and has stood the test of time (my ever changing music tastes, that is) |
| Dashboard Confessional So Impossible | 4.5 |
| Awesome story that accompanies the 4 songs. Ends with the epic "Hands Down" and leaves me very content and fulfilled at the end. I think this is a tie with The Places as my favorite DC CD. |

| Despised Icon Day Of Mourning | 4.0 |
| I love this album. Can get a little old and wasn't as memorable as The Ills but still. The drumming got even faster and they lost the pig squeals to many people's delight. |
| Despised Icon The Ills Of Modern Man | 4.5 |
| A few years since it's been out, hands down one of the only deathcore releases I come back to all of the time. I just love the dual vocal work and the songs stand out a lot from one another. Love it. |

| Destruction of a King Anthems | 2.5 |
| Die Antwoord $O$ | 1.0 |
| Die Antwoord 5 | 1.0 |
| Doomsday Mourning The Science Of Exploitation | 4.0 |
| Pretty bouncy metalcore/deathcore that has a lot of off time breakdowns. Really hard to describe, but it's an awesome listen. "Seeds Of Doubt" and "Jake" are the stand out tracks IMO. |

| Emarosa This Is Your Way Out | 2.5 |
| Emarosa Relativity | 3.5 |
| Relativity's songs CAN run together, but with every listen I gave this CD, the more appreciative I became. Very few songs even have a chorus, and parts repeat very few times. Emarosa progressed tremendously with this release, and then proceeded to shit all over my parade with their horrible self-titled. |

| Awesome concept CD that tells about the risk of giving your heart to someone who isn't prepared or ready to have it. The vocal harmonies define Emery and this CD is still in my rotation. |
| Emmure Nine Eleven Zero Four | 2.0 |
| Emmure Demo '05 | 2.0 |
| Emmure The Complete Guide To Needlework | 2.5 |
| Emmure The Respect Issue | 2.5 |
| Emmure Felony | 3.5 |
| Emmure Speaker Of The Dead | 3.5 |
| HUGE step up from The Respect Issue and a small improvement from Felony (I liked that CD). The dubstep elements are awesome, and the band seems to actually be finding a signature sound that is almost nu-metal influenced (in a good way surprisingly). I hate Joey Sturgis, but this is probably his best sounding work. "4 Poisons 3 Words" and "Last Words To Rose" are a few of the stand out tracks. |
| Emmure Goodbye To The Gallows | 4.0 |
| Endwell Homeland Insecurity | 2.0 |
| Endwell Revenge Is A Healthy Motive | 3.0 |
| Endwell Punishment | 3.5 |
| Great follow up to Consequences. The vocals have improved quite a bit and some of the stand out tracks REALLY stand out including "Anxiety Bath," and "High Friends In Low Places." |
| Endwell Consequences | 4.5 |
| My favorite hardcore CD of all time. Cool dudes, good album that really shows Sean portraying himself in a relatable and sorrowful way. Favorite tracks are "Avoidant," "Living Through The Losses," and "The Bridge." Awesome lyrics too that are often a play on words. |
| Escape the Fate Escape the Fate | 1.0 |
| Escape the Fate Issues Remix EP | 1.0 |
| Escape The Fate. Is. The. Worst. Band. Ever. And, on top of that, they released a fucking remix of the worst songs ever unleashed on humanity. I hope Craig Mabbit gets cancer and his kid dies. |

| THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR HELPING MY FRIENDS. Dylan is a drastic improvement over Chad in the vocal department (although Chad has tremendously improved in the new Legend track), and the riffing is more creative and melodic than ever. "Smoke Signals" and "A Plethora Of" are my favorite tracks. |

| Post-Hardcore at its finest. "The After Dinner Payback" and "Every Reason To" are awesome tracks on this CD. Ben's scream is also death-metal like, showing passionate grows to compliment Fran's whiny singing. Still a very good album. |

| Glass Casket We Are Gathered Here Today... | 3.0 |
| Glass Casket Desperate Man's Diary | 3.5 |
| An interesting an emotionally engaging deathcore CD (DID YOU THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE). "A Cork Stops The Whining" and "Too Scared To Live" are shredding, death metal influenced tracks, while the last song on the CD is a somber look at life from the eyes of the vocalist. |
| Hands Like Glass With Unveiled Faces | 4.0 |
| "Believing In Words" and "Quarter Shy" are really pleasant, melodic post-hardcore tracks. Hands Like Glass switches it up and infuses some pretty cool synth and keyboard parts to accompany Mason's great singing voice. A great debut EP. |

| Ion Dissonance Solace | 2.5 |
| Ion Dissonance Minus the Herd | 3.5 |
| Many people were disappointed with the dumbed down, chugging style Ion went for on Minus The Herd. I disagree. There are still plenty of weird and non-existant time signatures, the production is stellar and by far the best of any Ion CD, and the songs sound VERY different from one another. "The Surge" and "Scorn Haven" are by far my favorite songs on the CD. |
| Ion Dissonance Cursed | 3.5 |
| Ion Dissonance returns to their roots a little bit, except this time with Kevin as their vocalist. "You People Are Messed Up" and "They'll Never Know" are really heavy tracks that do not seem bogged down by the frenzied, chaotic mess that Ion is known for. The production is a bit of a step down from Minus The Herd, but otherwise this is about a 4 from me, for very different reasons from the 4 I gave Minus The Herd. |

| I like Chris' vocals a lot. It's an EP that doesn't push any boundaries, but it's VERY enjoyable if you are a fan of the genre. To others who aren't, stay far away. "Real Talk" is the stand out track. |

| Parkway...Romance Is Dead introduced me to these guys. From then on, I was a fan. Super slick production, and the vocals are great. This was before Parkway matured a little bit and started experimenting more. Lots of swearing, angst, etc hahaha. |

| I'm not going to buy into this "classic" rating business, but this album is definitely a huge step up from their boring debut. "Walk Away From The World" is a great, fast, melodic intro, and tracks 2,3,4, and 6 shine out compared to the rest. |

| Lord of the Rings core. Frickin awesome listen. Gotta love the LOTR reference in "Wreathed in Flame." This band is very underrated and this EP deserves a lot of recognition. Very well done take on symphonic black metal. |

| The worst Underoath release to date. I don't know why they had black-metal style song lengths on this CD, I don't know how Dallas thought his screaming sounded good, and I don't know how the recording engineer lived with himself after helping release this shit pile. |

| The DVD that comes with it is a little lacking, but it's still an interesting view on the making of the CD. The artwork is even better and the booklet is massive, and the general feel of this CD makes up for the lack of bonus tracks for being a special edition. Oh yeah, it's also one of the defining metalcore/post-hardcore CDs of all time. |
