| Anthony Green Avalon Remix | 3.5 |
| The Avalon Remix album, remixed by Circa Survive guitarist Colin Frangicetto, offers a very interesting new take on the original album. Avalon itself was a decent album, but dragged a little bit because although they were all pleasant songs, their simplicity and similarities got old by the end. The remixed songs are varied and interesting enough to make this album a lot more interesting than the original. It's still not a perfect album, but it adds a lot more to the original, and is definitely worth picking up if you enjoyed Avalon. |

| Mono Hymn to the Immortal Wind | 4.5 |
| While this album is not quite a classic, it is definitely one of the most enjoyable orchestrated listens from start to finish. Ashes in the Snow towering over the rest of the songs makes it hard for me to give this a five, but that's not to say all the other songs aren't 4-5s, because they are. Rating this a 1 is an absolute crime. |
