Save Us From The Archon Fear Eats the Soul
So good it hurts. The ambient textures that slightly distracted me from the last album are still present
but totally cohesive with the song structure ("Epigram" and the amazing "Heaven.") Fantastic band.
Save Us From The Archon L'Eclisse
Even as SUFTA's most accessible album, they manage to somehow outdo themselves in almost every way. Don't sleep on this. Reminds me of their first couple records mixed with the production and energy from the last EP. Cool concept and ecstatic riffing.
The Black Dahlia Murder Ritual
VASA Heroics

4.0 excellent
A-Tota-So A-Tota-So
And So I Watch You From Afar All Hail Bright Futures
Honestly, after I got over that this was more vocal than their previous work, this is pretty amazing. There's a lot of noodeling around with sound and effects, some of them extremely weird, but ultimately the fun is worth it. Perfect for summer.
And So I Watch You From Afar The Endless Shimmering
Maintains the energy of their last two records with darker, heavier fascinations of the band not present since Gangs. Sounds like Inception at times which is pretty neat.
Caspian On Circles
Deftones Deftones
As visceral as anything they've ever done. While it doesn't pull it off as smoothly as predecessor White Pony, we're left with a particularly raw and emotional album with several songs that never get old. Lush brutality throughout.

Kadinja Kadinja
An exellent EP out of Paris that will turn the heads of fans of Sikth and BtBAM. The excellent vocals and mind-blowing instrumentation push it ahead of the crowd in recent metal releases.
Kvelertak Nattesferd
Even with some of their slowest burning material to date, and even more experimentation, this record still rips.

Save Us From The Archon Some Things We Carry, Always
EDIT: The first few times I listened to this through and through, all I could hear was the absence of the
strings and keys. The difference between their debut and this one are both slight and immense;
without the melodic backing section, the bands technicality is highly accentuated. Bare bones and
even more mathy this time around, I couldn't compute it at first. A couple years later though, this
record is close to my heart. Once you begin to associate the concept of the song titles with the
melodies, it can be as affecting as any moment from the last record. And the remaster is worth
noting, as you can really hear the stellar bass lines. Drink a lot of coffee and get into it.

Some serious Mahavishnu vibes and I can't get enough
The Zeta Magia Infinita
Three Trapped Tigers Silent Earthling
While we might not ever get another Adebisi Shank record, we at the very least still have this. Three Trapped Tigers absolutely kill it on this record. Just as good as Route One or Die, if not even better.

3.5 great

Clams Casino Instrumental Mixtape 2
Allowing more influences and peers to shine through, worth the risk. Not as consistent as the first but still great.

Deftones Koi No Yokan
Not as consistently amazing as Diamond Eyes, and they definitely didn't experiment as much this time around but it's still damn good. Really a hybrid of their last two albums, but slightly more upbeat than either.

Inside The Beehive Drink Bleach; Live Forever
Pretty goddamn grand, some moments remind me of Gridlink, some are more Dillinger/The Chariot inspired. The vocals are downright brutal, with incredible range, and the riffs do not let up. A little rough around the edges, but hey, it's grind.
Kvelertak Meir
Loom Selva Molhada
NYOS Now.
Protest the Hero Pacific Myth
Queens of the Stone Age Era Vulgaris
Save Us From The Archon How Terrible, The Undergrowths Jaws That Tangle.
Extremely melodic and imaginitive for a slice of 2012 instru-metal. Think Kezia-era Protest the Hero minus the production and vocals. Fast, emotive, and unique. Even if occasional tracks sound similar, I'm anxiously awaiting whatever comes next from them.
Save Us From The Archon Thereafter
standards Fruit Island
The Black Dahlia Murder Everblack
The Nietzsche Finals.
The Strokes Comedown Machine
Considering the mess that was Angles, I'm just glad there were more memorable tunes on this one. It's not as engaging as the older stuff, and they're still buzzed on the 80's, but it surprised me.

3.0 good
Analog Bandits Invocation
Andross Should I Not Return, All Is In Order
Honestly, it's pretty inventive. Really enjoyed the first couple tunes. Kind of reminds me of Taking Back Sunday. Hope this band keeps it real, they've got potential :]
Billy Talent Dead Silence
While it's perhaps a necessary evil to abandon the frenetic sounds of I&II, BT's Dead Silence builds on III's occasional maturity to a strangely similar result. While slightly dissapointing at first, subtle change of pace makes this album worth absorbing.
