| This has got to be one of the most sorrowful album I've ever heard. Sometimes it's just too much. Also it's not the most unique hardcore album, but it definitely is really powerful. On the edge of 3.5 and 4. |

| woah, look at that crazy album artwork... I now have the urge to listen to this... |
| Lights Siberia | 4.5 |
| This album is awesome, I'm not a fan of pop music for the most part but I love this album. She's got a really great voice and she uses it to sing some pretty deep lyrics. This doesn't just feel like a collection of songs like most pop albums, it feels like a complete product, and leaves you satisfied with every listen. The soundscapes on this album are incredible, it feels almost as if you've just experienced an apocalypse and yet still have so much hope. Lights shows she actually gives a shit about making good music unlike most of her contemporaries. For me this is easily a 4.5 - 5 |
| La Dispute Wildlife | 5.0 |
| Not sure whether I like this album better then somewhere... but I'm definately glad that they went this way rather than more of the same. Some really fantastic songs on here, and somehow La Dispute has gotten even better at writing lyrics. Full of emotion, and fantastic themes. This is the best album I've heard of 2011. |

| Defeater Empty Days and Sleepless Nights | 5.0 |
| Continuing the defeater story in a superb way. Not only does this album stand on it's own as one of the greatest hardcore albums ever, it adds to the value of Travels by giving the listener another perspective of the story. Some people complain that they're tired of the same concept, but I think both albums benefit from this. |

| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me | 5.0 |
| Thank you sputnik, without you I would have never found this album. One of my favourites of all time and an album that grew on me and grew on me. What makes this album fantastic are all the layers it has, layers of instruments, layers of vocals, and basically layers and layers of emotion. This album shines out as the best amongst Brand New's great discography. |

| Billy Talent Billy Talent II | 5.0 |
| Billy Talent continue to produce extremely catchy songs, but this time around go for more of a pop punk sound. Not that I'm complaining, they still have almost all of the aggressiveness that they had on their self titled. II feels more like a collection of songs because of this, and what a collection it is. Almost every song on here has potential to become your favourite song on the album, in fact I've found over the years my favourite song shifting from one to another. Burn the Evidence which used to be one of my least favourites on there is now one of my favourites. For me this is another classic from BT. |
