session. |

There's no doubt in my mind that the instrumentation and the vocals are great, and so too is
the recording quality. By all means I would normally give music like this a higher rating.
But Resolution just does not form within me any emotional attachment. Which is why I
am not going to obtain the album, and maintain the rating I've given it here entirely out of
respect for the hard work that was put into creating it. |

I'm a big fan of the albums Twilight of the Idols, and Incipit Satan, but I
believe they could have done a better job mixing this release after it was recorded. It's a
solid live album but it still leaves a lot to be desired. |
| Gojira L'Enfant Sauvage |
| Neat album but it isn't as great as their last couple of releases. The band focused way too much on utilizing those nifty hooks that they have been using since Terra Incognita and some songs like 'The Fall' are really boring. The best track on the album is 'Pain is a Master'. If the second half of the album didn't pick up the way it had then I would have given this a 3/5. |

| Icarus the Owl Love Always, Leviathan |
| Okay so this album is pretty good but the instrumentation isn't as fantastic as everyone here says. Bands like Children of Nova, Terminal, Carousel Kings, InMe, and Letlive have all released albums recently that are equal or better than 'Love Always, Leviathan'. So unless everyone here is listening to absolute garbage, Icarus The Owl have achieved the current standard for pop punk/post-hardcore music. |

| A lot of the hooks used on this album are very neat and technical. I was actually surprised as to the skill displayed with some of the riffs. The lyrics are refreshing and have some insight to them. However, the album is still a conventional post-hardcore release and really hasn't done much to change the quality or standard of the genre's output. Albeit that may be the case and independent of that caveat, this is still a great album and is really enjoyable. |

| Katatonia Dethroned & Uncrowned |
| What these alternative versions of the tracks from Dead End Kings show, with the drums "dethroned" and the guitars "uncrowned" (according to the band), is that a handful of these tracks are actually very boring without really heavy instrumentation used for their composition. The ambiance and acoustic guitars are a nice change though. They bring out a side of the music that definitely wasn't as prominent--though definitely present on Dead End Kings. |

| Fear Factory The Industrialist |
| Maybe it is because I have been alive for a while and still recall anticipating the release of 7 of their albums but I found this to be absolutely nothing special. This album is just Fear Factory playing the same recycled material that they have been playing for years. |
| God Is an Astronaut Origins |
| The album is alright but it's kind of getting annoying that their music is no longer an innovation of the subgenre but is now a fairly predictable nich? form of it. |
| Gorguts Colored Sands |
| Gramatik Expedition 44 |
| Grendel (NL) Timewave Zero |
| The album had a lot of potential. The synths are strong and some moments are really neat but overall there are just too many parts that fail to deliver the same soulful impact that Harsh Generation yielded so strongly. |

| Kalmah Seventh Swamphony |
So Kalmah are back to making music that's composed like songs from Swamplord, They Will
Return and Swampsong. The problem is that the music sounds recycled, as if I have heard it
all before a hundred times over on my iPod already. That's because I have. I've heard it on
all of their aforementioned past releases. The difference now is that the music isn't new;
I've had a long time to digest it. As a result, "Seventh Swamphony" is boring to me. |

This had the potential to be really good. I dug the atmosphere, the transitions, the rants
and blackened guitar riffs. But I didn't like the noticeable virtual part of the
instrumentation and excessive repetition. There were too many parts of the album that drew
out for too long and became really boring and as a result, diminished my interest in the
music and the attention that I gave each track. The style needs refinement regarding the
two problems that I've identified so Nestra's music sounds less like an experiment
and more like a serious composition. |
| None More Black File Under Black |
| None More Black This Is Satire |

| The music didn't sound as though playing it felt natural to the band. The variety of riffs was also really lacking as there were too many bars of the same stuff. |
| Pity Sex Pity Sex |
| This EP really reminds me of 'When Broken is Easily Fixed' by Silverstein. |

| RED prove that they are getting incrementally more generic and boring and the Guillotine dubstep remixes particularly accentuate this point. |

| Goddamnit this is one of those albums that I already regret downloading so I am going to listen to it to death until I am so sick of it that I can join all of the other death/doom metal elitists in trashing it |
| Rush Hold Your Fire |
| SAM Destruction Unit |
| Satan Life Sentence |
| There are some pretty great tracks on this album but a lot of them fail to deliver and have consequently offset the overall quality of the record. |
| Saul Williams Volcanic Sunlight |
| Savoir Adore Our Nature |
| I just wasn't feelin' it with this album. In order for me to enjoy it as much as I have releases by other indie duets like Of Monsters and Men, Armistice & The Civil Wars I would have to fill in the gaps of disappointment with delusional satisfactions based on my own expectations prior to actually listening to the album. |
| Shining (SWE) VII: Fodd Forlorare |

| Swarms Low Sun |

| A lot of the clean guitar bits are really beautiful and have a great tone similar to that of Suis La Lune's 'Riala'. Unfortunately the album falls short when it comes to energy and I found my interest fading throughout various tracks. Cool release but these guys need to step it up a bit. |
| The Answer Revival |
| The Black Dahlia Murder Ritual |

| There are some really catchy songs on this album but it's too generic and spacey. I really wish that these guys didn't break so deeply into indie pop. |

| The Real McKenzies Real McKenzies |
| The Reign of Kindo Play With Fire |
Yea they use a variety of instruments on this album and it's a well-defined cross between
funk, jazz and alternative rock, but there isn't a whole lot going on during each verse.
They are actually quite repetitive. Some tracks aren't, but the majority are. There's also a
lot of overly glossed pop influence on this album and it makes it difficult to take the
music seriously at all. What I've heard on this album sounds like their style is just
becoming a gimmick now. |
| The Saddest Landscape Exit Wounded |
| The Stereo State Crossing Canyons |
| The Sun and the Ocean Distant Light/New Darkness |

The album is hollow and mundane--albeit compositionally pleasant--futuristic pop. The
potential of 30 Seconds to Mars is not represented by this piece. EDIT: also, lol wtf is up
