Lantlos Agape
Lantlos Melting Sun
Lantlos started moving away from blackgaze and more into conventional post-metal with shoegaze influences on Agape, and this is definitely the finalization of that progress. Removing harsh vocals altogether along with the "djenty" influences here and there gives this a very unique brand of post-metal that I haven't heard before. It was a HUGE mistake to not include "Melting Sun VII" in the standard version of the album, but for me it's the official closer.

"Gemini" is simply one of the absolute BEST songs of stoner rock. Can't really fault them by not matching the intensity of that song the whole way through (maybe except "III", my second favorite from the album), but it is incredibly solid. By the time "Knot" finishes you are left wondering what just hit you. It's shocking this album never got a review.

Night Verses Lift Your Existence
Night Verses Every Sound Has a Color...
I can't view/rate these two parts separately. They make for an engaging all-encompassing experience. While the album follows the same virtuoso stylistic approach of "Gallery" and retains the ambience that made that record work so well, it is also considerably heavier and much more immediate; harkening back to Lift Your Existence minus the vocals (with two exceptions). Just another commendable album from this group of talented musicians.

While I enjoy Only Revolutions I definitely prefer its b-sides counterpart. If you cut out the last four songs from this you actually get a very coherent and great full length that sounds much more mature and focused than its parent album. Just like with Missing Pieces and Similarities you must collect this if you enjoyed the early releases from Biffy Clyro.

Chris Turner Steezy
Chris Turner, originally from Oceans Ate Alaska, released his solo debut in 2022 and the result is nothing short of impressive. With just the right amount of technicality, groove and catchiness, you're in for a fun instrumental djent/metal album. rIf you like Night Verses you'll dig this.

This was released exclusively as a 7" vinyl in 2002, but was reissued on digital platforms on 2013 under the title "S/T". The songs are somewhat faster than on the debut album, but also drawing closer to the more chaotic mood of The Beyond. This is where CoL started realizing their true potential.

It's surprising for a band that usually performed their songs faithfully to the studio recordings, to change things a bit when performing a full album. Even though Oceanic has been remastered the songs sound more energetic and fast paced here, enough to consider this an "alternate version" of the original.

10 Years Killing All That Holds You
This is 10 Years first release featuring Jesse Hasek on vox. It's an improvement over their first album, but still not on the level of their major label debut "The Autumn Effect". Magna-Phi, Frailty, Shelter (Live Acoustic), Wasteland and Through the Iris are the best songs in here and show great potential, with the latter two becoming charting singles in the subsequent release.

Despite having a heavier and punchier sound and production than their studio counterparts, I prefer the more laid back versions of the studio material. I think the more chilled jam vibe that the other live albums offer works better for these guys.

A great appetizer for their sophomore album (includes three demo versions of Come Now Sleep). I prefer the demo version of "Tides" over the album version which is titled "New Sun". "New Sun (Demo)" Is titled "Tides" on the album version. A bit confusing, I know. It also includes a heartfelt live performance of "The Widow" from the debut record.

A pretty good collection of b-sides from the debut. While it make sense some of these would be left out I could see "Breatheher" as a single, with a nice early 2000's emo sound and "Less The Product" is easily the best of the bunch as it flows seamlessly with a perfect atmospheric outro... gives a hint of their prog rock tendencies which they explored on the two subsequent albums more.

I've never listened to the actual EP, but I have heard the complete recording session from FSF of this (which was included on The Final Curtain) and it's pretty neat. The recording session includes early versions of The Bradley, New Year's Project, Just Until Sundown and Pictures of Shorelines. It also includes Justice Prevails, an exclusive song from this.

The sound leaves a lot to be desired but it's not their worst sounding bootleg. If you plan on getting any of the bootlegs I'd go with Live on Stockholm, considering the tracklist is virtually the same as this (with the exception of "Away") and has a much superior recording/mixing quality compared to this one. Still, it's not a terrible release by any means and probably you will want to own it if you are a collector such as myself.

The Converge half is the only I've listened to and it's good. An early version of "Thaw" (the one included on Jane Doe is superior), three live performances and a wonderful cover of Depeche Mode song, which is the main reason I listen to this tbh.

Decyfer Down The Other Side of Darkness
Doesn't have the memorable singles like Crash nor the heavy punch of the debut, but still a decent release and a "return to form" of some sort after the previous disappointing album. It doesn't help that the production is a bit muddy and that it only has 9 songs total, with an acoustic version of Burn Back the Sun at the end (pretty cheap when bands do that). First four songs are great but it gets a bit samey on the latter half (except for Don't Walk Away, which is a great song).
Deftones Covers
Songs are great but most of this is recycled from B-Sides & Rarities comp. Drive was a bonus track from SNW. Caress, Ghosts and Do You Believe were included on the deluxe edition of DE. And then you have Sleep Walk which is a sweet little gem of a b-side from the self titled record. Still no inclusion of To Have and to Hold which is one of my favorite covers from them.

Actually a very good sounding bootleg that includes mostly songs from their debut album, but elevated by The Word As Law inclusions such as "Obsequious Obsolescence", "To What End?" and "Blisters" as well as "Self-Doubt" and "Nonsense" from the Lookout! Records Vinyl exclusive Aberration EP.

Old Man Gloom Meditations in B
Radiohead Pablo Honey
Radiohead Creep
If I'm not mistaken there are two versions of this single/EP; one including "Lurgee" (which is one of the weaker tracks of the debut), "Inside My Head" (which is a cool grungy song) and "Million Dollar Question" (definitely get why this was left out, anyways). Then there's another version including a remix of "Blow Out" (one of the best songs of the debut), a live version of "Inside My Head" and "Yes I Am" (one of the strongest b-sides from Pablo Honey). I'd say stick with the second version of the single, even though all songs are included in the Collector's Edition of the album.
Radiohead Anyone Can Play Guitar
"Coke Babies" is probably my favorite b-side from Pablo Honey. I'm glad it made it to the album's Collector's Edition.

10 Years Violent Allies
A minor change in the track list makes this a bit more listenable; having Without You as track 2 (it's one of the few good songs here), The Unknown as track 3, and then Waiting and Deja Vu as track 4 and 5 respectively. With that said, this is where I part ways with this band after years defending their work (even Feeding the Wolves and From Birth to Burial had great stuff). I was not surprised to find out Howard Benson produced this as he tends to ruin whatever he touches.

A bit of a mixed bag; some songs sound good and others sound terrible compared to the studio versions. Not as bad as the previous live album but they have so much better performances which you can watch on YouTube.

ISIS Live 4
It's not as bad sounding as the first bootleg (Live I) nor as good sounding as Live III (which sounds pretty good for a bootleg), but it's really just a random collection of amateur recordings that don't really add much to the series. Of the earlier live recordings Live II (by far the best produced) and Live III (which is basically a live version of Panopticon) are the clear winners.
ISIS Live 1
They were able to work some miracles with the remaster as the original bootleg was barely unlistenable. The real fault, though, is that all of these songs have been recorded live in higher quality performances and sound. If you aren't a collector or a hardcore fan then this has little value to it, to be fair.

I like both High & Dry and Planet Telex, but the b-sides included here aren't much interesting. A couple of remixes of "Planet Telex", a rework of "Killers Cars" from their first demo release and "Maquiladora" which is my favorite from this.

Terrible performance. The singer (RIP) could not hit the notes the other singers did. Just awful. The only reason this is any special is because it includes the complete recording session of "From the 27th State" EP. Also worth getting the b-sides from HTSAF and Hide Nothing.

Lifehouse Out Of The Wasteland
I have a soft spot for their first four albums and I used to listen to them with an ex gf (who passed away a few years ago) so nostalgia is a huge reason why I even still listen to this band. With that said, they took a weird turn starting Smoke & Mirrors combining their usual post-grunge/pop rock style with electronic music and then took a noisedive trying to combine folk and country with electronic pop on Almer?a. Even though they failed for the most part, at least they were attempting something different. This, however, is just a poor attempt to regain the success of the early material and it just sounds lifeless and sterile. You can't really tell one song from the next and it feels like a collection of leftovers they accumulated over the years. This pretty much came and went and it's no wonder why they haven't released anything since. "Stardust" and "Central Park" are the only good songs here.

The performances are great as expected with Neurosis. However, this bootleg sounds like complete ass. Definitely their worst sounding live recording which is a shame considering there are no other "official" live takes of "Takeahnase", "Cold Ascending" and "Enemy of the Sun".

Can't believe this was considered single material. Definitely the worst of the early EP's/singles.
