Huge disappointment. Nearly everything that made the House of Stone incredible is lacking
here, most notably the rhythms. |

| This album makes no sense to me. Some moments are shockingly brilliant and beautiful while others are unnecessarily abrasive without any real driving melody. |

| Anberlin featuring redundant lyrics, dull structures, songs that have remarkably little to offer, ubiquitous filler, and surprisingly, several moments of brilliance. (*Fin) is the perfect closer and deserves a 4.5 however the album fails to build to this point. It's a shame, I wanted to like this album. |

| Surprisingly not as inept as I had initially expected. Chevelle have created a catchy mainstream album, that despite lacking ambition and interesting instrumental parts, rises head and shoulders above its predecessors. |
| Agalloch Pale Folklore | 3.0 |
| Devin Townsend Project Deconstruction | 3.0 |
| This album bores me beyond belief. I dont understand the point of the relentless drumbeats or poorly done heavy sound. It all seems like such a waste for such and intricately layered album. |

| Yes... this was before they evolved into a radio rock band... but listen to "The Autumn Effect" and tell me they aren't one of the best radio rock bands out there. As such, this album does little to display the bands later direction and is, as a whole, relatively poor. |

Absolutely nothing new or special. The members of Coldplay do nothing to demonstrate any
