2015
Refused Freedom	1.0
Possibly the most disappointing album I've ever heard. Refused's attempts at experimentalism and restraint come out sounding clumsy and overdrawn and yet even worse are their bouts of impotent rage. With the loss of Jon Brannstrom, Refused has lost the dynamic guitar riffs and sample manipulation that made them special, and traded them in for studio polish and inept blues riffs. (It sucks.)

Sometimes you wonder just how far Screamo can go without being batshit insane like CTTS or mellowing out and trying a more melodic approach like La Dispute. And then there's Loma Prieta and they're like 'shut the fuck up and enjoy this quality Screamo' and you do. And you don't think twice about it.

Why? Elephant Eyelash	5.0
While Why?'s music generally tends to fall under the umbrella of trip-hop or indie-rock, the range of emotions they're able to convey while adhering to those two styles (whether intentional or not) is impressive. Elephant Eyelash is at times one of the cheeriest, most cathartic albums, and at others is downright melancholy.

Musical taste is subjective, and Crimes is proof. Exaggerating every aspect of The Blood Brothers sound to create a ferocious amalgam of styles that will either win you over or drive nails through your skull. Fuzzed out bass lines, killer punk riffs and strangely baroque sensibilities make this one of post-hardcore's strangest gems.

Catchy rhythmic dissonance, killer hardcore riff's, oddly melodic passages and one of the most original vocal duo's ever make Burn Piano Island, Burn a modern punk masterpiece. Mathy, catchy, noisy, melodic, what the Blood Brothers have on display is full of contradictions and disparate influences, but ultimately works to create a sound that might never be achieved again.

If you asked me, I would probably tell you this is my favourite ATDI album. While Relationship of Command is a masterstroke in it's own right, in/Casino/Out embodies a whole different set of emotions, with the infinitely catchy, almost pop-punk style of For Now... We Toast or Hulahoop Wounds and the funky aggression of Chanbara, it's extremely well rounded and more importantly, extremely well written.

As much a trainwreck as it is a post-hardcore, dance-punk, noise-rock gem. Brainiac has been called the most underrated band ever, and their influence has been attributed to bands such as At the Drive-in, The Blood Brothers and The Locust. Making use of an insane assortment of effects, Brainiac's twisted sense of song-writing is inherently inaccessible, completely ridiculous, but absolutely incredible.
