Dark, somber, and relentless in its despair, this album is flawless at accomplishing its goal. The music and lyrics hold genuine menace, and the whole affair brings about a real sense of unease without feeling contrived or gimmicky. Closer is the soundtrack to a neurotics deathbed, the lump in the throat of a tortured conscience. 5/5Killing Joke RevelationsManic Street Preachers The Holy BibleMercyful Fate Don't Break the OathMy Chemical Romance The Black ParadeNightwish Century ChildNightwish OceanbornOpeth Ghost ReveriesPink Floyd AnimalsPink Floyd The WallRadiohead Kid ARobbie Williams Greatest HitsSoundtrack (Theatre) Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet StreetStereophonics Performance and CocktailsStone Temple Pilots PurpleA pitch perfect collection of magnificent rock songs - Purple is everything an album should be, with not a single moment of filler - Suede Dog Man StarSuicide SuicideThe Beatles Sgt.

The structure and layout of the album is similar to the afore-mentioned debut, but the music and songwriting shakes things up just enough to keep things fresh. In the end, In The Wake Of Poseidon comes off as a satisfying and enjoyable listen, and worth a look, even though it has been criticized by some.King Diamond ''Them''Kraftwerk Trans-Europe ExpressLed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IIILordi Get HeavyManic Street Preachers Forever DelayedManic Street Preachers Generation TerroristsManic Street Preachers Journal For Plague LoversAlthough not a patch on The Holy Bible, or even Everything Must Go, Journal For Plague Lovers has some great moments--but more than a little filler.Manic Street Preachers Postcards from a Young ManMastodon Crack the SkyeMastodon The HunterMeat Puppets Meat Puppets IIMegadeth Rust in PeaceMegadeth Countdown to ExtinctionMegadeth Greatest Hits: Back to the StartMinistry TwitchMortification Scrolls of the MegillothNeil Young On the BeachNightwish OnceNightwish ImaginaerumNightwish Endless Forms Most BeautifulNirvana In UteroOasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory?Obituary Cause of DeathOrgy CandyassOzzy Osbourne No More TearsOzzy Osbourne The Essential Ozzy OsbournePanic! at the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat OutPanic! at the Disco Vices & VirtuesPantera The Great Southern TrendkillPavement Slanted and EnchantedPentagram PentagramPersuader Evolution PurgatoryPestilence Consuming ImpulsePink Floyd The Dark Side of the MoonPink Floyd MeddlePrimus They Can't All Be ZingersR.E.M.

Semisonic were a great band and sorely underrated, as is evident on thier sophomore release, Feeling Strangely Fine. Though not as consistent as what came before or after, the album is still nothing short of excellent, the major highlights coming in the first half with songs like "Made to last", "Never You Mind" "Singing in my Sleep" and of course, "Closing Time". Well worth a look if you've overlooked it in the past, or if you're looking for some light entertainmentSemisonic All About ChemistryWhile seemingly laid back, with more of a mellow aproach than I expected, All about Chemistry is a nice, relaxed listen and worth your time alone for the title track and Get A Grip.Sevendust HomeSlayer Seasons in the AbyssSlayer South of HeavenSparta PorcelainSpiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in SpaceSpiritualized Lazer Guided MelodiesStereophonics Language.Sex.Violence.Other?Stiff Little Fingers Go For ItStone Temple Pilots CoreSuede SinglesSummoning Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your FameSupergrass SupergrassThe Beatles The BeatlesThe Darkness Hot CakesThe Flaming Lips At War with the MysticsThe Flaming Lips Ego Tripping at the Gates of HellThe Get Up Kids Something to Write Home AboutThe Mars Volta AmputechtureThe Prodigy Their Law:The Singles 1990-2005The Smashing Pumpkins Machina/The Machines of GodThe Smashing Pumpkins AdoreTool LateralusTool OpiateTrapt TraptVeruca Salt Eight Arms to Hold YouX-Ray Spex Germfree AdolescentsYellowcard Lights and Sounds3.5 great...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead Source Tags and CodesA Perfect Murder War Of AggressionAFI Shut Your Mouth and Open Your EyesAFI DecemberundergroundAlter Bridge BlackbirdJust what one can expect and want from thier hard rock.

Panic has dropped the defining sound of thier debut for a much more personal, melodic sound, and the result is suprisingly good. Overflowing with delightful melodies and whimsical lyrics, Pretty.Odd makes for some great easy listening, but peters out slightly near the end.Paramore Brand New EyesPavement Crooked Rain, Crooked RainPink Floyd The Piper at the Gates of DawnPoison the Well You Come Before YouPokemon Pokemon 2.B.A. MasterPortishead DummyPossessed Seven ChurchesPrimus Sailing the Seas of CheesePublic Image Ltd.

The musicianship is always tight, but in terms of originality and individuality - qualities greatly touted in the punk movement - there is very little. Each song is a quick fix with no real standout.

Valos lyrics are terrible here, and musically, Screamworks is very unadventurous, and a stepback from Venus Doom. The album has its moments in Heartkiller and Katherine Wheel, but overall, casual listeners or newcomers to HIM should steer clearIron Maiden KillersJaggedy Ann Boiling PointIf musically unremarkable, this album could be called a novelty if nothing else. Bad Lyrics, So-So musicianship, and a cover so ridiculous that it's good. Jaggedy Ann is an all girl band, and you get the idea that the whole record is the kind of silly **** Brett Michaels would produce, filming the proceedings for Mtv. As it turns out, Phil Rudd of AC/DC handled production duty, and (perhaps as a result of this) the album finishes with a cover of acker-dackers Sin City. The whole affair is pretty bland, although a certain amount of enjoyment can be taken from the sheer cheesiness - and all things considered, it's not the worst album ever made.Jane's Addiction Nothing's ShockingJessie J Who You AreKorn See You on the Other SideMassive Attack ProtectionMotley Crue Theatre of PainMxPx Life in GeneralNightwish WishmasterOasis Standing on the Shoulder of GiantsPatrick Stump Soul PunkRat-De-Cave Monument EbranleSepultura AgainstSpice Girls SpiceStaind Chapter VTeenage Fanclub ThirteenThe Beautiful South MiaowThe Bleeders BleedersThe Who TommyTheory of a Deadman Scars and SouvenirsTrivium AscendancyUnderoath Lost in the Sound of SeparationA Joyless, tuneless, Monotonous snore fest with one or two enjoyable moments, but not enough to prevent it from spiralling into complete drudgeryWilliam Patrick Corgan TheFutureEmbrace2.0 poorDawn of Azazel RelentlessDisturbed The SicknessHole Live Through ThisKorn Life Is PeachyMillencolin Machine 15Cheerless, dull cookie cutter pop punk, with stupid lyrics and weak hooks.Mortification Break the CurseNickelback Silver Side UpOwl City Ocean EyesThis is basically an entire album of one song.
