Impressed by the creativity, energy, and fun on display. Super technical? Check. Long, drawn-out, selfish and boring? Not at all. Raised Fist From the NorthThis album slams. It's at least worth a 4 taken against the Raised Fist discography. It's Veil of Ignorance part 2 - but a little less heavy. And then simultaneously, even heavier in some instances. Very fun ride.Sold Soul I Hope We Make It Out of This Alivethis album absolutely fucking POUNDS. except for the Stu Block guest spot, because that guys sucks. lol, lmao. Spastic Ink Ink CompatibleYAYAYAYAYAYAYA. Young me enjoyed this back in the "Dream Theater are incredible" days. Still a cool album today. Jarzombek brothers are pretty nuts. The End (CAN) ElementaryThe Faceless Planetary DualityVOLA InmazesVOLA Witness3.5 greatAll Shall Perish Awaken the DreamersCannibal Corpse Butchered at BirthComeback Kid Heavy StepsDownthesun DownthesunDr. Hook Doctor HookI find the compilation releases better than their actual albums, specifically the "Dr. Hook Revisited" album, but these guys are great fun. Always a perfect to put on while having a few cold ones with the boys; Dr. Hook is one of those acts everyone tends to know at least one song by and never have complaints about the ones they don't, since Hook is such a fun time even when being sappy. Almost like a prototype Barenaked Ladies in that regard. But with the Wolfman. And more drugs than Steven Page.Ghost Brigade Isolation SongsGravity NoirGreat album, don't have much more to say than that. It doesn't stray too far from it's metalcore-ish roots, but pulls no punches, has some lovely moments of surprising melody, good hooks, and often contains that unique French "bop" Gorod features. All in all you won't regret your time with this one, and the track title track, Noir is a real treat. Bonus: imo the best female frontman in the metal game. Ihlo UnionIn Flames ForegoneInsomnium One for SorrowKarnivool ThemataTesseracT SonderRating is 3.5 strictly because Luminary is an absolutely fantastic song. Album in a whole is a "fine" listen, but nothing is remotely as good as Luminary. I do like that the album doesn't overstay its welcome like their other three releases that plod along with plenty of filler do. The Contortionist IntrinsicThe Decemberists The King Is DeadThe Safety Fire Grind the Ocean3.0 goodChimaira Pass Out of ExistenceThe Safety Fire Mouth of Swords2.5 averageKardashev Liminal RiteThis album could be outstanding - I even WANT it to be outstanding - but the production is so bafflingly poor I can't get past it. If the song writing/performances were on par or released around the same time as, let's say, Symphony X's "Paradise Lost" I'd be able to excuse it. However, the performances aren't of that caliber and this album was released a decade-and-a-half later. I struggle to rate this anything above average. Better production immediately takes this into 3.5-4 territory. Better performances would, as well, but because we're lacking synergy between band and production it can never be higher than average IMO. Who am I? A literal fucking nobody. Fair enough. Consider the aforementioned Paradise Lost or the original LOG As The Palaces Burn for examples of what I mean as far as synergy between band and production. Neither album has stellar production, but they're both certified bangers where the specific production adds to "it" - whatever "it" is.rBecause "Liminal Rite" lingers somewhere in the middle with production akin to the black head on your nose that you resign to ignoring because you can't address it otherwise, we must rate this average, even if we really, really want to like it. rPS: I'm sure you're really, really handsome and it's just that darn blemish you can't get rid of that's ruining your rizz.Sleep Token SundowningThe Faceless Autotheism1.5 very poorSleep Token This Place Will Become Your Tomb1.0 awfulBetween the Buried and Me The Parallax II: Future SequenceRaised Fist AnthemsAlbum is whack. Awful production, songs don't make sense, "rapcore Fist?", lyrics read like they were written by a 13 year old. Even Sound of the Republic dropkicks this sack of crap through the drywall.Sleep Token Take Me Back to EdenI couldn't believe how boring this album was. I thought with The Summoning, we might be getting something actually good here, but alas, it's just more of the same boring, meaningless loves songs, overproduction, no riffs, and nothing interesting happening. And... and an attempt at R&B? The ultimate Theater Kid(TM) band. I can't believe people used to make fun of Slipknot but these guys are blowing up and people think they're "deep" and "important." The NuMetal 2.0 wave has much, much better acts. These guys could be really great - they had promise on One and Two - but have not even come remotely close to delivering the goods.
