I didn't like it at first. Then I got into Blue and Vanishing, which were good too. Then I realized I wasn't really listening to "Mer de noms" part II, but a completely different album, much softer and for a different kind of mood than "Mer de Noms". I still fail to see the purpose of The nurse who loved me, which still bugs me. I know it's a cover, but it didn't ever really appeal to me. The rest of the album is great, nonetheless. I enjoy it a lot.AFI The Art of DrowningAFI Sing the SorrowAgalloch Ashes Against the GrainArcade Fire FuneralArsis A Celebration of GuiltAtheist ElementsBlack Flag In My HeadBlackfield Blackfield IIblink-182 The Mark, Tom and Travis ShowBox Car Racer Box Car RacerBruce Dickinson Tyranny of SoulsCapillary Action So EmbarrassingCeltic Frost MonotheistChildren of Bodom Follow the ReaperConverge Jane DoeCorrupted El Mundo FrioCryptopsy None So VileDeath Spiritual HealingDeftones White PonyDeftones Saturday Night WristDevendra Banhart Smokey Rolls Down Thunder CanyonDream Theater Images and WordsDream Theater AwakeDrudkh Blood In Our WellsE*Vax Parking Lot MusicEsmerine La LechuzaExplosions in the Sky Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die...fIREHOSE Ragin', Full OnFoo Fighters Foo FightersGhastly City Sleep Ghastly City SleepGiant Squid The IchthyologistGordian Knot EmergentGreen Day InsomniacIncubus (USA-CA) Light GrenadesIron And Wine The Creek Drank the CradleIron And Wine The Shepherd's DogIron Maiden Iron MaidenIron Maiden Maiden JapanKashmir TrespassersKayo Dot Choirs of the EyeKayo Dot Blue Lambency DownwardKing Crimson In the Court of the Crimson KingKing Crimson Starless and Bible BlackLed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IVI didn't want to get this album because I wasn't particularly infatuated with Stairway to Heaven. Nonetheless, I found myself listening to this album (and other stuff by Zeppelin) because of the other tracks I had never heard of. To be quiet honest, Stairway... is the weakest link of the whole album, and probably indeed overrated. I like the hardest part of the song, but the build-up is necessary for the song to be succesful. A great buy if you're not too mcuh into Zeppelin, since this album is a good starter with the Classic Rock genre. Plus, it has Misty mountain top, which reminds me a lot of "Almost famous". And the hot chicks, and the Rock and Roll.Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IIMarduk Fuck Me JesusMastodon Blood MountainMetallica Master of PuppetsMogwai Happy Songs for Happy PeopleMuse AbsolutionOpeth DamnationPelican AustralasiaPito Perez Con Más PoderPorcupine Tree SignifyPorcupine Tree Stupid DreamQueens of the Stone Age Songs for the DeafQueens of the Stone Age Rated RRacer X Technical DifficultiesRadiohead AmnesiacRadiohead In RainbowsRed Hot Chili Peppers By the WayThe Red Hot Chili Peppers seem to lose the funk from their hearts with every release. But what is the funk after all, and who decides what to do with your band musically if not yourself? Despite being a weaker album than the past release, Californication, it doesn't fail to impress me. The album is a grower, pretty much like the newer release, Stadium Arcadium, and it almost seems like it's their newest trend. The album is very mellow, very easy going, great to get some ladies up and runnin'. Because the ladies dig soft music.Rx Bandits The ResignationSonic Youth Murray StreetSpiral Architect A Sceptic's UniverseStone Temple Pilots Tiny Music...

It lacks the energy and power of particular moments of Frances, like Cygnus or L'via... And it's very far away from the lyrical complexity of Deloused, and the energy in Drunkship of Lanterns. Nonetheless, it flows greatly, I like the mellower tone they're getting, and they are certainly working in the lack of punctual attention of the past albums, in my opinion.The Smashing Pumpkins GishThrice The Illusion of SafetyThrice VheissuWintersun Wintersun3.5 greatA Perfect Circle Mer de NomsAgalloch Pale FolkloreAudioslave AudioslaveBlack Tide Light From AboveBlur 13Burton Wagner A Sentinel's EyesMy way of knowing how good a post rock album is, is the amount of time it takes me to go to sleep, since it's the only genre of music I can use to sleep when I'm agitated at night, or don't feel like sleeping to the sound of growls, or Tom Waits rambling in my head with no rhythmic pattern at all. I tried to use this album to sleep for three nights, and for the most part, I fell asleep in key moments. "A sentinel's Eyes" has a good managing of colors, paints interesting images here or there, and has a good "waveform" in terms of building/crescendos/diminishing/endings. Nonetheless, the necessity of making 30-minute tracks gave this album an evident amount of "filler" moments. I like how it resolves in sections, and how it drags on at times, but sometimes (particular sections, for the most part) just drag on unnecessarily turning this album into an uncomfortable succession of good moments going bad for lack of clear paths to walk towards. The tension is well managed, the moments of sheer beauty are there, but this screams some other for of instrumentation, since guitar is just not enough at times. This really needs a keyboard, a bass, something to add up to the sections. Even a fiddle would suffice. All in all, This is a great album, doesn't lack heart or passion. It's only problem is, I couldn't sleep two nights because of it.Cannibal Corpse Gallery of SuicideCynic Re-TracedDave Matthews Band EverydayDream Theater A Change of Seasonsdredg Live at The FillmoreDrowning Pool SinnerEnsiferum EnsiferumEquus Observing the MoonFear Factory TransgressionFinntroll Jaktens TidFoo Fighters There Is Nothing Left to LoseGiraffes?

Ultimately, I thought that having an album by them wouldbe social suicide because I'd have to cut my balls off, shave daily, comb my hair and wear a lot of black clothing. I got this album not expecting much, but I got some nice poppy- depeche-mode-y, punk-ey music, minus the self-hatred for liking one song by Good Charlotte. Andmy testicles and clothing are intact. I think I need to listen to more Depeche Mode because I'm digging this style of music, except I'm not sure if it's as punkish. Meh.

There's nothing black metal to this, mind you three or four textures among the whole album. I wouldn't call this metal either, this is just plain Alternative Rock with distorted guitars and maybe a little bit more gain than most bands. WOW IT MUST BE METAL. My rating is based on the condescending hype I've read about the album. It deserves a 4 in my head, maybe a 4.5, but the pretense and all around overestimation of the album makes me despise it but really like it at the same time. Still, people really, really need to take a better look at their objective observation of music nowadays. :|Ashlee Simpson AutobiographyChevelle This Type Of Thinking (Could Do Us In)Dimmu Borgir Enthrone Darkness TriumphantEvanescence FallenGreen Day ShenanigansGuns N' Roses The Spaghetti Incident?Illnath Cast Into Fields of Evil PleasureIron Maiden Fear of the DarkIron Maiden Virtual XIMadonna American LifeMetallica St. AngerNirvana NevermindNirvana NirvanaPink Floyd The Division BellSeether Disclaimer IISeether DisclaimerSystem of a Down Steal This Album!2.0 poorAshlee Simpson I Am MeGoo Goo Dolls What I Learned...Despite this album being a collection of songs by the Goo Goo Dolls from the "better, younger days", it failed to impress me vastly. I thought this would be more in the line of Pop Rock songs, but it is not. It is just a strange gather-up of songs that don't really fit in with each other (there's no sense of secquence, at least in my ears) and it was just a boring listen, the first couple times.Iron Maiden The X FactorKorn UntouchablesMetallica Garage Inc.Terrorthrone Bonedust and GorelustTrust Company The Lonely Position of Neutral1.5 very poorA Perfect Circle eMOTIVe
