| Emmure Speaker Of The Dead |
| Surprisingly interesting output by a band that reached it's bottom with their latest record 'Felony'. On the one hand 'Speaker Of The Dead' is an incredibly brutal and heavy ride with some outstanding tracks like 4 Poisons 3 Words, Lights Bring Salvation and their two singles. And on the other hand it features weak, replaceable material like Area 64-66 or My Name Is Thanos and shows a kind of undeniable redundancy in breakdowns and overall musicianship after examining the whole length and consistency of the record in detail. In terms of production, it's easily Sturgis' best work ever. The bass lines are perfectly audible, dubstep elements, electronic parts and samples fit nicely and the general groove knows how to be hypnotizing and tight at once. All in all not really an excellent record, but a great one for Palmeri & Sons. Their third best, placing shortly after 'The Respect Issue'. 3.8 |

| I am sorry for all 'generic'-proclaimers but this record is not mindless chugging, it's chugging on purpose. On purpose of emotion, anger and hope. It utilizes brutality to showcase feelings and it does damn well. Consider records like FURY AND THE FALLEN ONES (The Ghost Inside), CHANGES (For The Fallen Dreams) or MESSENGERS (August Burns Red) - yes, it's that good of a chugfest. If The Ghost Inside would play great breakdowns on their new CD (which they don't!), these would sound like the Gideon ones over here. Awesome intervals and time signatures e.g. like at the end of "Bad Blood" aren't the usual metalcore listen, because not every band is capable of bringing technical skills to the table when it comes to junz. What's left is a hilariously straight forward record that features some of the finest modern mosh moments imaginable. A huge improvement from COSTS and definitely a record that makes you wanna break stuff afterwards and/or during the listen. Give it a spin and don't hesitate to move your body. Brain off, junz on. |

| The new Emarosa is like a cupcake. You know you're sinning and eating tons of unhealthy sugar, but in the end it tastes sweet and good. The record is so consistently and catchily built around melody that it almost becomes cheesy. Musically, they move in the poppy waters of Michael Jackson meets Modern Talking. But you know what? It works. And it tastes good. For hits like Again or Rush alone, it's worth listening to. Just don't get turned off by the 80s flair that immediately presents itself. Have fun listening. |

| Leaving Man of the Woods in the dust, JT finally comes back to the heights of The 2020 Experience. A sexy, laid-back, and surprisingly self-aware record dealing with regret and mistakes regarding women. The oldest topic in the book, I know, but at least he shows some sense of repentance, which takes balls and is appreciated. He's still got the vocal chops of a generation and in the tracks where he isn't using autotune to pander to the modernity of the radio scene, he shows them big time. Kudos Justin, you crazy bastard - you turned it around. |

album. What not only keeps this new record afloat but makes it great are the amazing solos.

I mean, let's be real here. Lost Cause is probably one of the best Metalcore songs ever
made, hands down. As is Heretic. Smoke Signals, Made by Design, and Terrorist are bangers.
The Answer and Track 10 are fine, you can take or leave them. But the five interludes are
just a bit much for a record running only 34 minutes in total, granted. Therefore, it should
better have been a 7-track-EP, then it would be a 4.5. Now it's just a 3.5 to 4. A bit sad
they didn't show us more regular tracks, because Deja Vu could have been an AOTY
contender... |
| Novo Amor Birthplace |
| Amazing, heartfelt music for dreamers. Honestly one of the best one man projects I have ever heard. If you like toned-down stuff like Slingshot Dakota, Weaver at the Loom or old Coldplay and don't want to lack the creativity of someone like Jonsi or Cloudkicker, look no further and get this record. |

Also "Win Some, Lose Some" is an excellent track plus "Wild Ones" marks the best closer in a long, long while. Then we have tracks 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 who are just hella fun and bring spring right into your minds....idk. Ultimately there is just so little filler material (10, 11) that I would strongly recommend you to give Cavalier Youth another spin or two. Blend out the name(s) and reputation, just for once. |

| considering the sound, ideas and stuff, this is basically Portals 2. first half is kinda boring, the second is more varied. especially "will someone please turn down the ocean?", "tempest" and the beautiful "west cliffs" rule as fuck. unfortunately the rest can't keep up with these killer tracks. still a great record. |

| Better than Caves, worse than Earth & Reshape Reason. Dunno what is happening to their vocals though - they seem to change heavily from CD to CD. Caves was very hardcoreish, Earth crazy brutal/low and since one year we mostly get this half-high Northlane-like screams. No one can change his fronter this often. I guess he must have gotten out of puberty or something... Overall an interesting release that mixes Djent with Metal and Metalcore without getting too generic, always pulling something like a solo, melodic keys or the like off the cuff. Even while not catching me to a one hundred per cent degree at all times, Between The Balance definitely marks their most versatile and mature effort yet. |

| ERRA Moments of Clarity |
| ERRA Cure |
| For sure their weakest overall record yet, which is not saying much, considering that ERRA is and always has been the spearhead of modern metalcore following the tried and true, cookie cutter formula of progressive riffs, breakdowns, growls and the obligatory clean chorus inbetween. Since 15 years they are basically doing the Killswitch Engage routine with better production, better technicality, and more hard-hitting emotional highs as well as bits of brutality. Their breakdowns are just heavier, as well as played more brainy - think Misery Signals (but not entirely on the level on the latter). Unfortunately though, all in all it's getting a bit stale by now. The formula has worn off. 2024's ERRA seem write songs as if they're on autopilot. As if the studio had said, we need a new album by tomorrow - get going guys! Which is a little sad because we as the listeners don't get banger hits like Snowblood, House of Glass, Breach, Skyline, Hybrid Earth, or White Noise anymore. Which is unfortunate, as I already said. Still worth your while though for sure, especially if you're into modern metalcore and just can't get enough from this particular muscial trope. |

| Eyes Roll Back may very well be the hardest track they have ever released, even heavier than the stuff from their debut LP. An amazing listen. 10 out of 5 for me. Unfortunately, the rest of the album falls a bit flat and follows the same clean-laden formula that hold The Path back, too. There are some single sparks of greatness here and there, yes, but overall it's classic FFAK going soft. I hope the next record sounds more like Dark Skies again. Still give it a spin if you're into cookie cutter Metalcore. |

| Thank god it's better than Back Burner. The cleans are often times misplaced but not as annoying as they were used to be. Lowlights are certainly weaklings like NO ONE TO BLAME or WAKING UP ALONE but fortunately the album also features tracks like YOUR FUNERAL, SOBER or WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE which showcase that not all talent of a former "genre/niche giant" is lost. A bearable listen for die hard junz-fans that are capable to fade out some choruses here and there plus people that have swallowed the bitter pill of FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS' kind of "downhill progression", if you even want to call it like that. |

| siding with thomas sanborn. "murder mitten", "we're not in kansas anymore" and "judith rules" are the best tracks on this record. it's easy to tell why: all cheesiness/catchiness aside, they have ambitious dubstep parts that technically outsmart the simple looped electro beats and samples on all the other tracks. you have to have your brain available to get this though, so some ppl might be out for this one. their best record to date. 3.75 |

the vocal melodies and harmonies are all over the place again. No big choruses, no

| Lorna Shore Flesh Coffin |
| Lorna Shore Pain Remains |
| Pros - great technicality all-around, very versatile vocals, sick solos, some good songwriting ideas, sporadic bombast-feel of certain tracks. Cons - way too long, bad production, songs get samey after repeated listens, synths are overdone and annoying as hell, slightly uninspired breakdowns that seem to follow the same formula over and over. If you want better Death in your Deathcore but remain as technical, maybe give Brand of Sacrifice or Archspire a go. If you want better Core in your Deathcore and tone the instrumental wankery down a notch, try Thy Art Is Murder. All three are slightly better imho and just make music that is more consistent. Lorna Shore want too much at once here for my taste. That being said, Pain Remains is not a bad record by any means. I've just head better Deathcore albums during my lifetime. |

| post-hardcore -> heavy metalcore -> hardcore. this band can't decide at all. I wouldn't call it progression either...it's simply constant change. I don't know what to think about this, but each record for itself is pretty solid. Seen as a band, this is heavily inconsistent :D |

| Interesting experiment that equally excels in what it wants to achieve as that it fails. While Miasma is laughably bad and I couldn't care less about Let Me Disappear, Kraft and Dante on the other end of the spectrum are straight up amazing. Afterimage is a track I very much enjoy and that flows exactly in the middle of these two poles for me. Therefore, I can enjoy this for what it is - a fun little collection of ideas, a musical brainfart of sorts, where not every idea has been fully developed before recording it. Now let's make another album and show us if you're capable of greatness again, my fellow Aussies. |

| Oh, Sleeper When I Am God |

| This seems like a typical grower to me. Despite of 3-4 tracks, Children of Fire is not really accessible and furthermore not as catchy as expected. A long term listen. For now, it's a good 3.5 for me. Might grow and advance to a finite 4, but as I said - this will most probably need some time and concentration/focus. At the moment it is slightly behind Son of the Morning. |

| Worse than A Lot Like Birds, worse than Hail The Sun, worse than Dance Gavin Dance but still way above average. They did not get everything out of the features imo and also they did kind of a fail tracklisting, giving four of the five features away in tracks 7-10 instead of being smart and mixing them more apart from each other. Aside from 'Our Last Night On Earth' and 'Year Of The Light' also lacking real hits for me...dunno. If this would have been a random band, not pushed and hyped that much (e.g. by Will Swan himself) I would not even give them several more spins. A semi-letdown for me in 2013. |

| Underrated with a 3, overrated with a 3.5. Probably a 3.25-thing. Even if they come with great technique and good ideas, Ten After Two aren't able to grab me at first listen.

| The Contortionist Shapeshifter |
| The Contortionist Intrinsic |
| It's not what I expected, nor what I hoped for. This does not necessarily mean that the record is bad, not by any means, but it is certainly not anything fans or long time Contortionist listeners would most likely demand from them. EXOPLANET was a heavy deathcore experience with intelligent time signatures, crisp breakdowns and crystal clear ambient/progressive elements, maintaining a good balance between clean singing and harsh growling and/or screaming. But INTRINSIC is more of a progressive metal record that relies heavily on spacy and lofty riffing, keys and ambient tuning while giving a lot of room for cleans only. Comparing these two, one definitely finds a certain lack of heavy parts, featuring very little breakdowns and growled segments at all. Also, when The Contortionist tries to be brutal on INTRINSIC (e.g. on SOLIPSIS or at the middle of CORTICAL) they fail, completely exaggerating it on the brawly, noisy side. So all in all I did not know or could have imagined that TC were going fully progressive/ambient after their first album snippets, but it is not the change I had longed for, at least not in such extent. Finally, INTRINSIC is not average at all and actually pretty good in what it wants to deliver, but it does just not appease my musical appetite and all in all it's just too dull and constant to fully grab or entertain me. In other words: it's a bit boring in all it's consistency. 'Lost in space', one could say. |

| at parts extremely great, at parts a bit over-ambitious. they want too much at once. modern, proggy tech metalcore cousins Northlane, Invent Animate, Erra and the like...but also deathcore tunes like in Brand of Sacrifice or Chelsea Grin are prevalent here. even electronic bits can be found. it's just too much for a debut, it's not consistent. all this variation keeps it from true greatness. don't get me wrong: it's a good record and the drummer is an absolute beast - but give this band one or two more albums and we have 4.5+ potential right here. |
| The Plot In You First Born |

It's mainstream now, sure, but definitely better than average and although featuring 16 tracks not that overly long as everyone says (46mins is totally fine imho). If you would insist, I could agree to cut some filler songs or stuff that didn't work like Paradise Lost, Big Wanna Be, My Cocoon, and Wow I Hate This Song(sic!). |

| more near to a 3 than to a 4. two fillerintro's, two rehashed tracks and six forgettable songs, leaving us with only two new outstanders from this record which is much too less considering their previous work. our sad result: the EP was much better, not productionwise but in terms of musicianship and consistency. nevertheless this is no bad listen at all and still one of the flagship's of modern day's djent. but as we see they wasted tons of their potential... |

| 65daysofstatic Wild Light |
| The first song "Heat Death Infinity Splitter" is so badass, I can't even believe my ears. I love it. Unfortunately, the rest of the record is as bland and boring as it can get. 5 to 7+ minute tracks only that get more repetitive and thoughtless with every skip. tl;dr: 65daysofstatic continue to spiral downwards, which is a complete bummer. |
| A Bullet for Pretty Boy Symbiosis |
| unfortunately its not as diverse as Revision:Revise was and additionally there are only two or three songs which aren't generic and boring at all. also the cleans have gone worse - don't ask me why..basically you get what you expect by purchasing this record: nothing groundbreaking nor fun, but a slight-above-average modern post-hc/metalcore output from a band that constantly seems to match the genre mean. |
| A Day To Remember What Separates Me from You |
| Calmer and softer than Homesick, coevally feeling kinda rushed. Overall a quite catchy pop-punk output with very few core elements left and a really short running time. I don't know if I am liking this direction much. Leaving it a 3.5 for now, maybe downgrading it to 2.5-3 after the next few listens. |

| Their weakest effort yet. Some songs are just plain annoying like the samey 'Behold The Crown' or the one-note Djentfest 'To Challenge Existence' and others are just neither catchy nor impressive (2, 3, 5, 6). It's bland metalcore with weak vocals galore. The only good songs are the pulsing 'The Great Repeat', the pounding closer 'A Pulse Exchanged' and - ironically - the instrumental interlude 'In Flux'. What a shame. After The Burial continue their downwards trend after all the member changes. |

| good and promising debut EP of a band I would like to rename into "Little Volumes". they kind of rely on the sound of last-mentioned band in 2-3 of their songs and even deliver a feature with the Volumes-shouter on one of them. unfortunately the actual djent parts are very rare and sparely used which could be an issue to fix for a possibly following full length. all in all the deathcore portion is still too high to really shine in a crowded and flooded genre like this. |

| Basically a death sentence to their own identity. There is nothing left of their earth-shattering brutality as well as their creative songwriting back in the Heartsounds- and Salvation-days. As hinted on the terrible What Defines You already and cranking this sonical choice up to one hundred, Of Virtue has gone full sellout now. Mainstream to appeal to the masses. Poppy choruses wherever you look, way less growls, way less heavy riffing, way fewer breakdowns, no more progressiveness, softer production...the list goes on and on. What you have to give them credit for is two things though. Firstly, they are still capable of writing absolute bangers that never leave your ear, even weeks after the first listen. And secondly, at least they're consistent in their new style and follow it through to the very end. The entirety of Omen sounds so consistent, you can skip from song two to song seven and know immediately that this is the same record, which is a positive in my opinion. The producer did a good job to at least give their new self a coherent style. Therefore I am changing my rating from a 2 to a 3. They found their niche and people who enjoy this kind of music, for instance fans of new Of Mice and Men, Dayshell, and the like, will most probably very much dig this. |

| Scar Symmetry The Unseen Empire |
it's definitely a suitable record for scar symmetry, even if they are too much trying to copy their older sound. The Unseen Empire stands above their latest effort Dark Matter Dimensions, but does ultimately not reach the quality of Aelvestam-material (their first three records).
something between a 3 and a 3.5 for me. |

Whatever, the songs LAKE NYOS and SEVEN PERSONS really stand out and don't fail to disappoint at all, so ultimately the cd comes out as a little dig of mine. |

Masterpieces like Death Grip and Split as well as the interesting experiment of Cityscapes
shake hands with the most mainstream copy of Linkin Park I have ever heard by any metalcore
band ever, namely Wash It Away. If you close your eyes while listening to the latter,
Chester literally becomes alive again. I am not even fucking kidding. Why a VERY well-
respected and basically unhateable band in the genre (not only because of coming back from
their haunting and soul-crushingly sad past) does a shitty choice like this and basically
betrays their own hardcore slash metal roots so much that it's pure sellout is beyond me,
but that is something they will have to work out for themselves. Maybe they got pressured by
the label, maybe they just want more money aka broaden their fanbase with a crowbar, or
maybe they just want to play Rock im Park now, I don't know. But it's a choice I will have
to tolerate for now. There are still many redeeming qualities to find on Searching for
Solace and I will give them the benefit of a doubt. If their next album is another Fury and
the Fallen Ones, we can all grab a cold one again together. |
| The Heliocentrics 13 Degrees Of Reality |
| The Hirsch Effekt Holon : Hiberno |
| The Hirsch Effekt Holon: Anamnesis |
| The Hirsch Effekt Kollaps |
Their most easily accessible, but unfortunately
also their weakest album yet imho. The short
runtimes really hurt the creative possibilities
of the songs, most math-heavy prog is gone, and
the tonalities are all over the place as well.
There is no clear focus, no greater idea, while
electronics go hand-in-hand with Nu Metal- and
even Djent-ingratiations. Of course there are
occasional bright spots as well, like for
instance the ending of AGERA, the epic buildup of
TORKA, or the
grandiose title track KOLLAPS overall - but
firstly, this is a Hirsch Effekt record after
all, so did you really expect a complete failure
guys - and secondly, these are also three of the
only long tracks of the album. This speaks to the
theory that THE simply need longer songs to fully
shine. Anyway. It's a letdown considering their
amazing discography, but it's still better than
most contemporary German progressive post-
hardcore. Curious to see them live this year and
check out their energy iRL. |
| The Maine Pioneer |
| the maine finally start to progress and mature. listen to the bridge of "When I'm At Home" or "Waiting For My Sun To Shine" to get your proof. unfortunately there are overall too many fillertracks for a 3.5-rating. |

| The Rendering Protector |
| The Rendering Voices |
| A slight improvement from Protector, but for their next output they should get rid of the synths and massive scene approaches. 3.25 because they know how to play their instruments and have some Legend/Acacia Strain vibes at times (e.g. listen to "End" in full). |

He sounds so weak and tired...my god. These lows are so high and shallow, they can't even be called low growls anymore. A ghost of his former self. |

| We Are The In Crowd Weird Kids |
| After a somewhat slow and mediocre start (1-4), Weird Kids manages to deliver a really solid middle part (5-7) and finishes with a decent but not overly convincing ending section (9-10). All in all, this is neither 'must have' nor 'shit', which leaves We Are The In Crowd's newest CD plainly in the forgettable/skippable-segment, just slightly above the average Pop Punk these days. Ps. Yes - there is slight progression - but it simply isn't enough to reach the finish line this time. |

But at least the songwriting is great and truly innovative to be honest. So it's better than the critical mass of the genre, sure, but only barely. They need a new producer asap imo. |

even facing heavy inconsistencies in musicianship plus generic and mainstream
instrumentation/singing, this record can at least be considered as a bearable effort and a
step into the right direction. maybe it will need another three records for them to really
produce something true and original, but that is not the point. the point is that these guys
are slowly waking up. slowly but steadily. |

If somebody really thinks this is any good, I would give him the well-meant advice to stop listening to bullshit and to try out really outstanding deathcore CDs instead, like for instance Thy Art Is Murder's "Hate", Whitechapel's selftitled, Fit For An Autopsy's "The Process of Human Extermination" or the last three Impending Doom albums. And no, this is by no means generic Carnifex-hate, I used to enjoy these guys back then and have been following the whole genre since it's formation. |
| Casper Lang lebe der Tod |
| Chelsea Grin My Damnation |
| album is really weak compared to Desolation Of Eden+EP. without the comparison it's still nothing special and just a boring deathcore record tbh. sad one for CG, to me it felt they had huge potential.. |
| Chelsea Grin Eternal Nightmare |
| It's fine but nothing more...Tom should have stayed at Lorna Shore. Imho it's their second worst album after My Damnation. Even their last record had more things to enjoy because of better singles and overall the better breakdowns. This is more death metal than deathcore at times, which is not where Chelsea Grin can shine. They were great when they added in melody like in Evolve and Ashes to Ashes OR without melody via pure breakdown-fests like in Desolation of Eden, their selftitled EP or Self Inflicted. Eternal Nightmare is neither here nor there. It's half-assed, boring, samey and just features the occasional tad of greatness, which is simply not enough. The production is good though and Tom mostly shines. That's about it. Solid, but you're better off with their other CDs. 2.75 or smth out of sympathy. |

the MC does sound a little bit like mike shinoda - so what? this linkin park reference of
yours is just a distraction from the reality: that most of you haven't listened to classic
LP in a really long time; because hybrid theory, meteora & co eat this dangerkids record
alive and with ease. furthermore, I have heard at least fourty modern metalcore/post-
hardcore albums in the last two years that are far superior to this bland, boring, generic
and uncatchy dangerkids-mess. my goodness. just listen to our last night, memphis may fire,
palisades, dream on dreamer, issues, old woe is me etc etc. it's all the same, but better.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
now please get back on track and listen to "the real", good old linkin park again or at
least stop bothering with sub-par modern post-hardcore/metalcore mixes that can't keep up in
this already crowded genre. |

| ***damn guys, calm down. Yes, Untitled was horrible and yes, The Path of Totality totally lay out of their comfort zone, but: See You On The Other Side definitely broadened their musical horizon plus Korn III was definitely not bad either, what ultimately leaves us with just two out of their four last records being shit. Just because Head himself came back, everyone that stopped after Untouchables crawls out of their holes again and thinks their opinion truly matters. Gosh...now get your facts straight, catch up on these last albums and rate this one again - afterwards. If you would honestly do so, The Paradigm Shift would never in life get ratings above 3.5 - a CD featuring barely 50% tolerable material. I mean come on...Lullaby For A Sadist is the easy carry here and they wrote the song without Head. Also: if you turn the volume up and for one time stick to your good headphones, you would hear the loudness war that goes on in nearly every track, outshining the vocals and disturbing any harmony there is, for instance and especially prevalent with the dissonant synths at the chorus of Track 08, timestamps 1:11-1:33. They are fine before and after, but in the chorus, it just kills your ears. Plain and easy as that. Tl;dr: no guys, instead of listening to this mediocre record, I rather cry for my 'daddy' and 'follow the leader'...jm2c. |
| Kylie Minogue Golden |
| Landon Tewers Ai640 |
| Lena Good News |
| This sophomore effort alarmingly showcases what is meant by the common term 'wasted potential', especially for a skilled songstress like Lena. 'Good News' features boring & tame songwriting and feels kinda rushed with this abrupt ending. On top of that it lacks the bluesy/jazzy touch of the forerunner and is not able to compensate the erstwhile hit frequency on 'My Cassette Player'. Apart from all that Lena is overall fortunately able to cover up the writing and carry the record with her warm voice and singing abilities. For the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, I would definitely have suggested to choose "A Million And One", which is easily the best song on the record. The song they have chosen ("Taken By A Stranger") is the only track that is kinda different from the others on the album and hence marks a bearable, but not a winning alternative. |
| Linkin Park Living Things |
| what deviant said. just boring. also they have no drummer anymore, it's fully electronic. huge disappointment, especially after all the hype. victimized is a bad joke. |

| Malevolence Malicious Intent |
| After hearing Malicious Intent and especially Life Sentence I thought to myself, my god, this album slaps. The speed was way higher than expected and I had good fun with this bro-core style of writing. But then came pregnant with meaning midtempo garbage like On Broken Glass and Still Waters Run Deep which sounded like the worst Avenged Sevenfold-songs ever made, so they lost me right there. Higher Place then felt completely out of place - putting a Disturbed-ballad on a record might work for Disturbed, but not for self-declared roughnecks and whiskey-blasting pussy destroyers Malevolence. Neither Matt (Honeycott nor Heafy) could safe this mess. Sad one, the album had promise. |

| It's not bad by any means, it's just a bit boring and uninspired. Especially in the second half of the record, many songs sound alike or blend into one big mush. There are even some complete duds on here. I honestly liked Hardwired better because it was a bit more aggressive and had more experiments and variety. |

| Morgan's Accident There's No Sun Where We're Going |
most likely the most generic thing I have heard for years, but funnily enough it seems
bearable. the sky eats airplane connection dswhite85 made is not too bad, even if Morgan's
Accident are much less technical and innovative. a bland popcorn newschool scenecore release
to switch off your mind for a while, haha. |

I love Minus the Bear, it's my favourite band of all time. I have most their albums and EP's
at a "5". I even like the first recordings of Jake's first band, State Route 522. This album
here however, was kind of a weak effort to me. It is very long and drawn-out, songs become
boring and repetitive quite quickly, the singing isn't nearly as prominently featured as in
Minus the Bear, and especially the samples threw me off completely. Listening to random
laughing skits from an unknown female midway into a ten minute instrumental epic isn't
exactly what I am looking for when wanting to chill and wanting to enjoy some Jake magic.
So, all in all, this was dead on arrival. Unfortunately. I'd rather listen to State Route
522 on repeat and miss out on Jake's vocals then revisit this pretentious
snoozefest again, I am sorry. 2.5 points for the musicianship. |
