| City of Ships Minor World | 4.0 |
| Collapse Under the Empire Shoulders and Giants | 2.5 |
| Cult of Luna Vertikal | 3.5 |
| I: 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. |
| Cult of Luna Salvation | 4.0 |
| Cult of Luna Eternal Kingdom | 4.5 |
| Cult of Luna Somewhere Along the Highway | 5.0 |
| My "the album," both beautiful and crushingly heavy. This, for me, is what post-metal is all about. |
| Death Blues Ensemble | 4.0 |
| Descendents Milo Goes to College | 4.0 |
| This album won't take a lot of your time and it's sure to make you grin! |
| Explosions in the Sky The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place | 2.5 |
| Faraquet The View From This Tower | 3.5 |
| Feeder Echo Park | 3.0 |
| There 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! | 3.0 |

| Godspeed You! Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞ | 5.0 |
| Grift Syner | 4.0 |
| Hanging Garden At Every Door | 4.0 |
| A pleasant listening experience overall, but missing something I can't quite put my finger on. Also, clean vocals occasionally lack emotion. |
| Heiress Of Great Sorrow | 3.0 |
| ISIS Wavering Radiant | 3.5 |
| ISIS Panopticon | 4.5 |
| While 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 Rising | 4.5 |
| I 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. |
| Omega Massif Karpatia | 4.0 |
| Opeth Pale Communion | 2.5 |
| Palms Palms | 2.5 |
| Dreamy and soothing when it wants to be, but when it tries to be heavy and powerful, it just falls flat. Not bad, but not great either. |
| Panopticon Roads to the North | 3.5 |
| Pelican What We All Come to Need | 3.0 |
| Enjoyable, but slightly repetitive. Feels like it doesn't really go anywhere. Still, it does have it's moments. |
| Pelican Forever Becoming | 3.5 |
| Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork | 3.0 |
| Solid 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. |
| Red Sparowes Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red... | 2.5 |
| I like the tracks individually, but as an album, I feel it doesn't quite work. It gets a little drony, and in a way, still. |
| Red Sparowes The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein... | 3.0 |
| Red Sparowes At The Soundless Dawn | 3.5 |
| Rosetta Flies to Flame | 3.0 |
| Rosetta Quintessential Ephemera | 3.0 |
| Rosetta A Determinism of Morality | 3.5 |
| Rosetta The Anaesthete | 4.0 |
| Rosetta Wake/Lift | 4.5 |
| Great 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. |
| Rosetta The Galilean Satellites | 5.0 |
Both 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. |
| Solstafir Otta | 3.0 |
| Solstafir Svartir Sandar | 3.5 |
| There 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. |
| The Ocean Pelagial | 4.0 |
| As 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. |
| This Will Destroy You Another Language | 3.5 |
| Tool Lateralus | 4.0 |
| I 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. |
| True Widow True Widow | 2.5 |
| We Lost the Sea Departure Songs | 4.0 |
| Woods of Desolation As the Stars | 3.5 |
| Year of No Light Nord | 4.0 |
| Year of No Light Ausserwelt | 4.5 |
| Massive 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. |
