Certainly better than the excuse for an album "KSE II" was, but it is still held back on the fact that it leans on a strong chorus too much. With that being said, Jesse Leach is stronger than ever.
Bring Me the Horizon Sempiternal3.5
Excellent electronics (and that is something coming from someone who HATES electronics). There is a Hell does seem better still to me, but maybe this one will grow one me like that one did. Personally, most of the songs sound like better keyboards on their previous album's songs and the tracklist seems kind of lopsided with medium heavy tracks, two or three really deep atmospheric ones, and a hardcore anthem in "antivist." I was hoping for more atmosphere in this one, but its certainly not bad. Still deciding whether this is a "4" or a "3.5"

Delightfully poppy yet brilliantly written. Definitely a fun listen for me. It has its rough patches (w.a.m.s. in particular), but overall it maintains a light poppy atmosphere with Fall Out Boy's most ambitious work yet. Tied with Take This To Your Grave as my favorite.

Better individual songs than "The Devil and God..." but "The Devil and God..." is more of a complete album than Deja Entendu. I like albums, therefore I like "The Devil and God..." more.

I still have to listen to this again, but the riffs and progressions are fairly smooth except I can't really bring myself to "5" it. I think a lot of people's 5's come from the fact that making a 40 minute, one song concept album is so impressive that they give it one more star just because of the innovation factor.
Neurosis Through Silver in Blood4.0
Very ahead of its time. A LOT of bands copied off of this album/band. You can hear it in Botch, every sludge band now, hell, even Tool might be have slightly influenced by them in their later material. These guys must have loved Brutal Truth or something because that is the only album that I know of to mix some noise/sludge/grindcore at that time. rHowever, the album just turns into a big mess. Nothing fits together it is seriously just noise. A handful of the parts are sweet, but it is nothing that I could ever sit down and intently listen to again. This would be a good album to space out to, but that's it.

Morbid Angel Blessed Are the Sick4.0
A 4 at its very best, Blessed Are the Sick is praised by many bands from Nile to Suffocation, but it really lacks what made Altars of Madness so special. Yes, it is creepy and at times fun to listen to; other times it sounds boring and like the instruments are just creating a background to last beyond the 1-2 minute punk boundary line. In all honesty, this is a 3.7-3.8.
Cannibal Corpse Butchered at Birth5.0
Arguebly the worst out of their first 3 albums, but that is exactly why I like it. This album just makes sense to me. The riffs while not completely original are very interesting in the fact that you don't expect them. The cover is the most disgusting and yet intruiging cover in probably all of death metal. And while many people complain about the sound I think this album sounds unique. Butchered at Birth is the perfect album to just slay a massive amounts of zombies to, and I am totally OK with that.

Obviously its a classic being the first ever metal album ever, but that doesn't necessarily make it "classic" status. Although "Black Sabbath" does contain some of my favorite Black Sabbath riffs/sections of all time, the album is really random at a lot of parts. In other words, it is not put together too cohesively unfortunately.
