Crushing space doom, anyone?Smidley Smidley4.0Wtf is a 'Smidley'? Wtf did this even come from?

Endless pummeling and white noise, nothing catchy or interesting. Its only merit is its impressive technicality.Opeth Sorceress2.5Opeth are trying too hard to revive a dead genre that no one cares about.

A headbanging romp of black metal-infused retro rock, the only let down being the lack of vocal variation.Vektor Terminal Redux3.0Radiohead The Bends5.0Radiohead OK Computer5.0ISIS Oceanic4.5ISIS Panopticon5.0Agalloch The Mantle5.0Kyuss Welcome to Sky Valley5.0At the Drive-In Relationship of Command5.0Black Tusk Pillars of Ash3.0
