5.0 classic
Converge Axe to Fall
Dangers Anger
Emery ...In Shallow Seas We Sail
Like that one review says, this really is the best post hardcore release of 2009. Emery are the kings of harmony. Plus, their screamer never overdoes it which is refreshing. Undoubtedly, the best part of this record are the lyrics. They deal with the crumbling of a relationship, from the initial disintegration to the unavoidable begging. This is one of the only records where I literally love every song, and I mean that.
Kimbra The Golden Echo
The National High Violet

4.5 superb
AFI Sing the Sorrow
Sing the Sorrow is the stuff of legend. You will be hard pressed to find a higher-minded combination of well devised lyrics, guitar work that makes each song an individual, and a vocal delivery which ranges from punk screaming to harmonious singing. The group vocals assisted by the Despair Faction only help. Plus, this record has Death of Seasons. Sick.
Dangers Messy, Isn't It?
Defeater Lost Ground
Gallows (UK) Grey Britain
The concept behind Grey Britain is interesting enough, but for that concept to be the backdrop of a hardcore/punk record is legitimately cool. The record deals with the band's emotions toward their motherland, Britain, and more specifically what they believe is the slow decay of their home. The record is angry and vibrant being set off with classical instrumentation at its end. Pissed off lyrics, squealing pigs, and perfect production make this record what it is - a modern 99 thesis, a disgruntled youth threatening the establishment which has threatened their heritage.
Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly
My Chemical Romance The Black Parade
This is a definitive record for me. I know every line and strum. It was so impactful on my life that when I listen to it today, I sometimes get chills.
Norma Jean Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child
The endless claims that this record is a Botch ripoff and that it tries too hard will never change my mind. This record introduced me to heavy music and for that I am forever grateful.

4.0 excellent
AFI Answer That and Stay Fashionable
AFI Very Proud of Ya
Architects Hollow Crown

Between the Buried and Me Colors
Born of Osiris The Discovery
Converge Jane Doe
This record is pure, unadulterated hatred. Jacob Bannon sounds evil, even demonic, as he hails the end of a relationship; a mind-altering experience.
Daft Punk Human After All
This is a 4. Not one part of the record is boring. The very idea of some fucked up robots trying to become human is such an interesting concept and Daft Punk made a sick record with that concept.

Underoath Cries of the Past
Underoath Define the Great Line
Atmospheric, deep-seeded, meaningful, and heavy are all words that describe this masterpiece. If metalcore could be compared to movements in art, Define the Great Line would be a vital part of the impressionist movement. There is not an emotional excess, but instead a theme of suggestiveness. It suggests change as a result of personal demise. It suggests anger in response to indifference. From Spencer's ridiculous opening of the record to Gillepsie's exceptional singing and drumming throughout, Define the Great Line cannot be missed.

A Day To Remember For Those Who Have Heart (Reissue)
While most pop/punk bands are obsessed with failing relationships and a disengagement to politics, this record deals more with the issue of friendship. I appreciate that. However the monotony and the long length of the record make it a bit unlikeable for me.

Icona Pop Icona Pop
This music is pretty uninspired but, at least in comparison to what's on the radio, it's fine. Also, I love "Good
for You." I saw Iconapop with Matt & Kim and Passion Pit and Iconapop actually held their own in a live setting.
Had my school pretty pumped.

Before Their Eyes Untouchable
This is called selling out. Before Their Eyes had a solid debut when they released their self-titled. I appreciated the simplicity of the guitar work and the honesty in the lyrics. What I dislike about this record is that it is the opposite of their self titled. The guitar work sucks because it is contrived and it tries to be every other post hardcore band. The lyrics are even worse. This band is dead to me.
