5.0 classic
Aldious Unlimited Diffusion
This album is such an underrated gem, and my 2017 album of the year(in general might be one of my all time favorite albums, if that was not obvious). this is a great show of Aldious expanding their now crafted sound on a much grander scale, and it never stumbles from the pressure. Every song is memorable and has great replay value, and really goes above and beyond "Raident A", to the point where it makes that album (in which "Raident A" pretty strong album) feel rather insignificant in comparison.
Band-Maid Conqueror
the bands most dynamic release yet, this is a bold album that still feels like band-maid, this and world domination stand as the band's magnum opuses
Band-Maid World Domination
An album that really took everything from "Just bring It" and cranked it put to 11 without any of the minor head scratching moments of its predecessor, this is an album so good, it makes the rest of the band's output prior to this album feel vastly inferior in comparison. Not a single dull moment on the whole disc.
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath
An album that birthed a new genre that would have staying power for decades alone is enough to give this a 5. Not to mention the content in the album itself is truly amazing and well composed, with a bit of an eerie tone thought. I imagine with the time period, this album was extra nightmare fuel back then.
Black Sabbath Paranoid
this album is an expansion on the bands mammoth debut that creates 2 mammoth releases to start this bands legendary career
Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal
Not only an expansion from There is a Hell, but is a well crafted organic send off for the band's Metalcore era, from front to back, this is one of the most essential albums in the metalcore cannon for a very good reason
Bring Me The Horizon POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR
Bring Me The Horizon add to their rather impressive catalog with their best album since sempiternal (obligatory comment about loving Amo and That's The Spirit too.) It's like Amo, That's The Spirit, and there is a hell fused together. I know for sure this is going to be pretty high on my albums of the year for 2020. all the singles were fantastic and KINGSLAYER is one of the best collaborations ever, and yes the song was so awesome it needed its own interlude. All the features work fantastically on this album (unlike on Music to listen to...).Bring Me The Horizon gives music to survive 2020 too.
CHVRCHES Every Open Eye
One of the best pop albums of the 2010s, if not, then THE best.
Copeland Blushing
absolutely beautiful, this might be the best concept album about Love ever written.
Dazzle Vision Final Attack
This album still kicks ass and is the perfect swan song for the band, DAZZLE VISION wanted to put out an album with no slow moments and it works (slowest song is an up tempo j-pop number near the end) I know that this might be my most controversial 5, but i do not see myself going lower to even a 4.5 on this. They really took a big number of risks for their final album and it payed off (as with recording this, the band knew this would be their final album, hence the title) also electronics and dupstep hold up rather well. I think this is a great contrast/companion piece to Kirari
Dazzle Vision Kirari
I may have to do a proper review of this album sometime in the future. but this album is not only perfect (IMHO) but if i can be frank, it is one of the top 3 best albums I have ever heard, if not then THE best. Yes, it is that good. this album feels mellow and melancholic but at the same time has an snaring aggression that will bite at any moment. the bass on this album sounds so crisp and thicc here too.
Dazzle Vision Camellia Japonica
Honestly this is one of the most vibrant and bittersweet Nu-metal albums I have heard. this is one of those albums that always always gets me personally deeply emotional when ever I hear it. The performance from everyone on this album is just outstanding, it is hard to say a Nu-Metal album has ever wrecked me emotionally quite as this
DIMLIM CHEDOARA
This is an amazing debut. this is a mix of Prog. metal, Jazz-rock, power metal, and deathcore and it all works rather well. My best new artist for 2018 for good reason. it's even better that they made this after the controversy with their former drummer (F*** YOU ISSEI!)
Dir En Grey Uroboros (Remastered & Expanded)
Both Melodic and unhinged. Theis is one prog. metal emotional experience that really needs to be heard by every J-rock fan. This is also the best starting point for getting into DIR EN GREY
Electric Light Orchestra Time
Holy crap I did not think i would enjoy this as much as I did. Their is so much to love even if you are typically not a fan of this stuff. very high recommend from me.
Elvis Presley Elvis Presley
A fitting start to an icon and a legend of his stature.
Elvis Presley Elvis: TV Special
The King has returned!
Flyleaf Memento Mori
second album I ever owned, and honestly I think i like it even more on revisiting it. it is matured effort and sees a more melodic approach. this album is one that sounds like the band's own identity and contains no week moments during its run-time. also am I the only sheltered christian kid who got nightmares from the album booklet and the "Melting" interlude?
Fuki Million Scarlets
This such a fun listen. Fuki is one of the best vocalists of our generation.
Iron Maiden The Number Of The Beast
An iconic record where Iron Maiden punched their ticket in the legacy of music. this album holds up perfectly and seems to get better with every re-listen
Jeff Williams RWBY Volume 6 Soundtrack
Diverse and a fun ride thought. both the soundtrack section and the score section are fantastic. btw if you wanna hear what the soundtrack section would sound arranged as a studio album here ya go https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4oAkvQYu59pW4sG3xtCdX0
JPEGMAFIA All My Heroes Are Cornballs
Short version: funny and experimental well thought and presented political commentary. short short version: its a JPEGMAFIA album
Kanye West The College Dropout
Kanye was really ahead of his time with the sampling on here. Kanye proved in 2005 that you not need to be "hard" to drop some fire. I do not think their is a single bad thing i can say about this, and it might be one of my fave rap releases ever (i know, not an uneque opinon here)
Lecrae Gravity
No matter how many listens I give of this album, I never get tired of it. And when I do find myself wanting to hear a track from it, I usally end up doing a full spin of the album or at least half of it. The production on this albums quite amazing, this is is start of lecrae including some conteveresal topics that would later see him hated by alot of Christians like police brutality, or working with non Christian artists and it is a welcome addition to his style. This is the album that took lecrse out of the neshe of being that one christan rapper 3 people heard of at the local youth group. "Gravity" deserves every bit of praise it gets because it's an album that does so many things right that sometimes the things it does right is not even what the album was neesisarly attempting to do (like the entire album having such a strong althsteic that you would think this is a concept album), This album has aged so unbelievably well that in 2021 it sounds brand new. This is one of those albums where every feature really does bring some heat, and where the album artist is able to match that such on tracks like "fakin" and "power trips". Hooks on this album are another great standout like "free from it all", "tell the world", and "walk with me". The beats and instrumental on this album is just another aspect I cannot give enough praise. This honestly is my favriote rap album, and rediscovering it over the summer was definitely a treat.
Lecrae Anomaly
"Anomoly" is one of those albums I did not have a good first impression of. Sure I liked it but I felt fidsappinted by it as a whole and thought it was a pretty significant step down from gravity. But then the more I listened to it the more it would grow on me, their would be something new I would find to appreciate. At first I only liked the back half and "welcome to Amarica" and then I started to like more and more of the front half tracks to the point where my least favriote song on the album, "say I wont" which I outright disliked at first i actully enjoy quite a bit. The thing that through me off with "anomaly" compared to "gravity" is that this record is not nearly as cohesive, in fact their are some weird mood shifts, but like thsts the point on this album, when you go from tracks like "nothin" to "fear". One common complaint about the album is the CCM songs "messangers" and "give In" and as someone who usally very strongly dislikes those kind of songs, I really don't mind them here, in fact "Give In" is one of my personal favriotes on the record. I also really found the direction of particer tracks to pay off in the instrumental, beat and delivery on cuts like "anomoly", "timepiece", "fear" and "runners". Is this album as Good as gravity? No but it is still really good in its own right and at least deserves to be mentioned as one of his best albums.
Lingua Ignota Caligula
An album so unsettling and tragic, most will only be able to stomach one listen. However it is an album that is so impotent because of the themes it carry's and it is translated masterfully in the drone-like classical-eque sound of the album
Lovebites Electric Pentagram
On the band's most aggressive album to date, the band masterfully compose an epic top tier thrash metal album! Lady's and Gentlemen, this is the metal album to beat for 2020!
Megadeth Dystopia
This album honestly i feel is a bit misunderstood(in terms of its lyrical content. people just really wanted to come to the worst conclusions about it. however i am not going to get political in the sound-off), i feel this album might be honestly underrated, and i will go so far to say its a thrash masterpiece
Nocturnal Bloodlust UNLEASH
a would be perfect comeback....if their new guitarist did not go to jail for smocking pot. STAYYYY OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THHEEEEE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
Nothingface Violence
holy freaking crap this was just beyond amazing. It is nu-metal aggression in the best possible way, who knows, I may bump this into a 5 once I give it more spins (and listen to the rest of these guys disog.) IT. IS. THAT. GOOD UPDATE: it is that good and this is without a doubt the best album these guys ever put out, and that is saying something seeing as how ridiculously strong their catalog is
OK Goodnight Limbo
The Most beautiful album of 2019 for me. this is a strong AOTY CANDIDATE for me Personally
Pink Floyd The Wall
After revisiting this, it had such a profound effect on me, this album in a way was a domino effect for me in helping me realize how i had built my own wall for years and years, and i grew so comfortable inside. this is an album that is so important not only as a landmark album in history but i think is relevant to every generation epeculliny in the times now, where laying bricks to protect ourselves are much easier, it definitely got the effect for me to look at myself. An album that inspires this kind of reflection in a listener is a 5 in my book. not to mention this is like...lowkey the best rock opera of all time
Rush Clockwork Angels
A fantastic outing in the twilight of a legendary bands career.
Rush Moving Pictures
a classic that pretty much needs no explaining for the 5
Skillet Comatose
the first album I ever owned, and all these years later it holds up fantastically. Defiantly one of the best Christian albums of all time.
Skillet Comatose Comes Alive
a pretty damn phenomenal live album, also great setlist. this live version of "best kept secret" is better then the album version from "invincible" too
Skillet Rise
I know this may be a hot take but... I think this is the best Skillet album
Skillet Comatose Comes Alive (Deluxe Edition)
Live Free or Let Me Die is one of the best Skillet songs ever Written
Taylor Swift 1989
Taylor goes full Pop in one really exceptional album. the synth elements here are really good and their is not a single dull moment or cut on this album. Everything about this album is so fantastic as I really did enjoy my listen of this from start to finish.
Tenacious D Tenacious D
Lots of replay value here, and one album that i had a laugh for an hour with when revisiting this one.
The Devil Wears Prada Zombie
This kicks all kinds of ass, one of the best metalcore releases not just of the last decade, but ever. I would say this is an essential must-hear EP. This was the start of the brilliant but bleak songwriting of the band. also "I WILL CHUG CHUG NEVER CHUG CHUG CHUG SEE THROUGH CHUG CHUG THIS NIGHTMARE" goosebumps every time
The Devil Wears Prada The Act
with some of the mature (and bleak) songwriting on this album, it is easy to forget they are a christian band. TDWP do quite a bit of experimenting on this album, and it all pays of very well. This is A genre defining release in Metalcore.
the GazettE DIM
the GazettE Division
the GazettE Dogma
The GazettE sound pissed. In their anger they created a Metalcore masterpiece
the GazettE Ninth
This is a great reflection of the band leading up to this point. there is an underlying theme of contentment throughout this album I can get behind. not to mention the album has banger after banger after banger. this is my AOTY for 2018 for good reason.
the GazettE DISTRESS AND COMA -Auditory Impression-
Tool Lateralus
Remember that pitchfork review where Brent complained about the drum set-up being "too complex"? LMAO, btw this is by far the best TOOL album
Tricot Audiotree Live
this might be one of the best live session performances of all time, it is also really entertaining watching them too (especially the ending). I am just absolutely amazed by this (and how insanely amazing the drummer is on his timing).
Underoath Ø (Disambiguation)
Underoath release their darkest and heaviest album in 2010. this album a decade later still stands tall as arguably one of the best metal albums of the decade. Spencer pulls of cleans really well and gives them is own spin, setting himself apart from Aaron's poppy cleans. This album is one hell of a game changer through and through
Whitechapel The Valley
unrelenting and forgiving, and with an unexpected message in deathcore that revenge will not satisfy, and the pain never goes away
X Japan Art of Life
A masterpiece of a song/album that everyone needs to hear at least once in their lifetime, yes it is THAT good, regardless of genre preference.

4.5 superb
Aldious We Are
This album shows not only how talented they are as musicians but as songwriters, and how well they work to flesh out each other's ideas (the songs have been written individually by the band members. we also get the band trying some new styles with the Progressive rock travelers, as well as the 80s like motivational "never give up".The title track is a fantastic metal anthem and a strong thrash metal offering. the only reason I am not giving this a 5/5 is the kinda unnecessary 15-second intro. Aldious somehow deliver 2 really amazing albums in the same year that are the best of their carrer so far.
Aldious All Brose
RE:no goes out on a strong swan song. This album does not include any out of genre moments and instead focuses on what the band has done best in their sound since the "Raident A" era. Marina absolutely steals the show on this album with all the complex work she does behind the kit. the balled "All of you" in a lot of ways is "I don't like me pt. 2" and "Fragile pt.2" but it is a strong balled and has great use of strings. "Monster" is a great high energy track. the only downside to this album is the guitar is mixed a little too quiet on "Monochrome" but every song on this release is fantastic.
Amalee Nostalgia VII
A covers album with a personal touch, Honestly a lot of the arrangements her surpass the original.
Anthrax Worship Music
Anthrax had a fantastic 2010s, and hot damn was this album really amazing. I can see why they are the most underrated of the big 4.
Architects Holy Hell
this is definitely going to be one of the staple /definitive albums in metalcore for sure.
BABYMETAL BABYMETAL
the most wholesome and endearing babymetal album, and it surprisingly holds up quite well.
BABYMETAL Metal Galaxy
Now adults, babymetal (minus one member) set out the various musical galaxy and expand their sound in several different styles from around the world to impressive results
BABYMETAL Metal Resistance
A bit of a transition into a more mature sound, with a bit of that youthful energy from the debut.
Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell
After a bit of a downward trajectory Dio brings Sabbath back to their glorious return, welcome back boys
Black Sabbath Master Of Reality
just because the album is a slight dip from the bands massive first 2 albums does not mean it is short of quality by any means
Black Sabbath Dehumanizer
Oh yeah Dio is back and so is the band, this is a really fun listen and Dio alone makes this worth the listen.
Blind Guardian Legacy Of The Dark Lands
pretty strong chance this is your local theater kid's album of the year for 2019r
Bring Me The Horizon amo
Honestly, this album really gets better on every listen. It is a bit of a grower but after even a feel listens, even the weaker cuts, like "Fresh Bruises" is pretty solid. This album includes electronics fantastically and is not just "band got bit chasing the imagine dragon trend". Welp time to edit this onto my Album of the year for 2019 list
Bring Me The Horizon There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It...
Oh my, this is so good, this feels like a great evolution from "Suicide season" while keeping the best of that album intact here.
Crossfaith Zion
Ah yes the album that has the J-metalcore classic "Monolith" and for the most part the rest of the EP is just as amazing. I do need a few more spins with this before i can be 100% sure, but this honestly might be a 5 for me, just need it to sit a little. their really is not any weak points present thought "Zion" and several songs here are live staples to this day. very glad to have this as my 700th rating
Crossfaith Xeno
Crossfaith return with the electronic sound more in the forefront thought and they are blended with the instrumentation quite well. eve weaker cuts like "Dystopia" are really fun, and does feature more variaty then any past full length from them thus far. This i can still gladly jam to after buying it around release day back in 2015.
Cyntia Limit Break
Dadaroma DADAISM #5
this album is not in the same Industrial metal (and sometimes deathcore) flare that people may know from the band in the past. but the band delivers on one fantastic Rock OPera. when the weakest song is the lead single, which is a good song, it goes to show how fantastic of a release this is
Days of the New Days of the New II
This is the band's best album, I really dug this one. really good acoustic Rock
Dazzle Vision Crystal Children
This is the band's softest album as they go for a more mainstream rock sound right from "HERE" (fantastic opener btw) , and it works fantastically. the Bass on this album is so thicc too. "crystal" and "Hana" that close the album are both beautiful, and like the rest of the album contain emotional weight even on the heaviest song on he album, "Orb"
Dazzle Vision To the Next
their first outing in Metalcore is extraordinary, and we get some left field turns like the orgasmic (yes their is a climax in the song) jazz number "Miss Cinderella" and the closing track is brilliant, it starts out hard like a metalcore track but then mellows out into this really beautiful melody for the rest of the song.
Deftones White Pony
woah, am i the only one who feels this album is...trippy as all hell. it also does a hell of a job of sucking the listener in. the opening track here is kind of the weakest link and will keep me from giving it a 5 (no not talking about 'back to school', the ORIGINAL opener) but still this album is oddly calming and its one that really deserves all the hype it gets
Deftones Ohms
This is like the best aspects of Diamond eyes and Adrenaline mixed in with the weird experimentation of the early 2000 deftones albums.
Demon Hunter Peace
As suggested from the title, softest Demon Hunter album to date, if you count it as its own album separate from war. The little industrial elements, which was most notably previously something present on the Self-titled Debut Demon Hunter album, do work here. the melodies on these tracks are strong. The lyrics here are to the forefront and they are fantastic throughout.The second half is stronger than the first half. Due to the outside-the-box nature of this CD compared to other Demon Hunter albums, this album allows for a bit of experimentation though it is subtle enough to not throw people off. its still Demon Hunter.T he best parts of the more melodic Demon Hunter songs, for the most part, is here. This album is also a whole lot better if you spin it right after the war, further submitting my thoughts of this being a double LP. The song structure here is a lot simpler and more on the basic side, however, that is a benefit to this album and its tone. This is a strong offering from the band
Denzel Curry TA13OO
everything about this album is great. even the ingenuous way to end the album the same way it starts. symbolizing the album's theme on the cycle of life. my sole neg is "Mad I got it" is the weakest link here.
Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats Unlocked
there is a massive influence on 90s hip hop on this project, the samples on this thing are on point, and the bass hits hard and is crisp. Denzel just kills it with his flows and his intensity. The album is a bit too short, and as such, it feels like in the end does not quite reach the full potential this regardless is a fantastic album that takes influence from "boom-bap" but hits harder.
Descendents Milo Goes to College
An enjoyable fun ride, right to the point. this album has well earned its status as a essential album in the punk cannon
Deviloof Oni (鬼)
the most brutal release from japan in 2019, holy crap this is such a mammoth of a blackend-deathcore album. big recommend from me.
DIMLIM MISC.
DIMLIM's 2020 album is one that sees the band going in a 180 in sound and completely abandoning their deathcore and Visual Kei roots, but DIMLIM intern offers a Beautiful and ambient album that masterfully sets up the band's new status quo and unique style. EDIT: while this album is no longer a 5 for me, it is still a rather enjoyable album where i think the ambient elements work well and add a unique angle to the Nu Metal/ Math Rock Hybrid sound they are going for
DIMLIM Kidoairaku
HOT DAMN this is amazing if it was not for the mix that is so loud it's clipping, I would have given this a 5/5. on the second disk, the acapella arrangements of "Aijou ni Tsuki" and "Vanitas" is really unsettling
Dir En Grey Uroboros
Really great album. but GO LISTEN TO THE REMASTERED VERSION OF THIS! that album is PERFECT!
Dream Theater Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
while I did enjoy the whole album, i found the second half with the hour long song to be much better then the first half here
Dreamcatcher (KR) Dystopia : The Tree of Language
Rap + symphonic metal + stadium rock Kpop? SIGN ME THE HELL UP! This is a real treat folks, like this album is fun but at the same time never gets stale. I could very well bump this to a 5 when i revisit this at the end of the year. Dreamcatcher see you on my Best of 2020 list. I think i may have found my favorite K-pop group. seriously guys big recommend from me
Elvis Presley His Hand In Mine
FACTS: gospel Elvis > Hillsong United
Elvis Presley The Wonderful World of Christmas
Elvis is 3/3 on Christmas albums, and this is the best of the three! I will be using this album around holiday season for sure!
Elvis Presley As recorded At Madison Square Garden
their were some interesting funk renditions of his material here, this is a live album that is worth seeking out
Enter Shikari Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible
Oh man, this was fantastic, it goes a bit off the rails and is all over the place genre-wise but the transitions are soo good that the transitions are not clunky or off-putting. This album gets better with every listen and is one that for sure does require several listens. I could bump this up to a 5 depending on how I feel on it later on.
Fate Gear Headless Goddess
Due to it being..a rather weak year in the all-female-metal scene in Japan, Fate Gear really had the chance to break through and put out something special, and man did they deliver.
Ghost (SWE) Prequelle
campy but very well put together.
GHOSTEMANE Human Error
his best ep from 2019, and some very well spent 9 minutes of my life
Grimes Miss Anthropocene
I mean its Grimes, so its gonna be weird as hell, but...it is pretty damn good too
Heaven and Hell The Devil You Know
Oh man, what a final album for Diosabbath, so much of this just kicks ass. Not really much else to say, check this one out!
Infant Annihilator The Battle of Yaldabaoth
this is just really really nuts...but i like deathcore that is crazy
Juice WRLD Legends Never Die
This. was. incredible. It is a shame I never checked him out sooner. There is so much more he had to offer.
Kero Kero Bonito Civilisation I
One of the best EP's of 2019, if the outro for the final track did not drag for too long, i would give this a 5.
King's X Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
I am not gonna lie, weather or not you call this a christian album, the thing absolutely slaps
Korn The Nothing
Their best album in a while (and i liked "serenity of Suffering"), might be their most personal since the debut too.
Lecrae Rebel
on his third outing, lecrae makes the nearly perfect christian rap album (would be perfect if not for the weak beat on the closing track), the album is full of absolute bangers and some of the best lyrics of lecraes early realises. the album hs more personaity then his first 2 albums and has aged pretty well.
Limp Bizkit Three Dollar Bill Y'all
Hot damn this slaps so hard, If it was not for "everything" dragging on a bit too long, i would of given this a 5, no really i am being dead serious, I enjoyed this THAT much
Linkin Park The Hunting Party
Hot damn, this album just kicks all kinds if ass, it might be my favorite Linkin Park album. Who Knows, perhaps I move this up to a 5 in the future
Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight
Lizzo Cuz I Love You
The best R&B album of 2019 folks.
Love and Death Between Here And Lost
A Nu-Metal classic and Head makes a better album then KoRns whole catalog without him. This is also a massive improvement over "Save Me From Myself" too, the wait for the new album has been killing me
Lovebites Battle Against Damnation
such a great in-between studio releases EP. I wonder which album session these recordings belonged to
My First Story V
a great fusion of other genres including j-pop? Yes. A compelling an emotional vocal performance? Yes. An album where very few complaints even if I were to be nitpicky? Yes. An album that blows away every other album in it's genre from the last few years out of the water? Yes. An album that far exceeded my expectations for it? Yes Lady's and Gentlemen i present to you... The Best Emo album of the Year!
NF The Search
A great introspective on fame, "The search" packs a huge run time and tracklist that (rarely) leaves one underwelmed.
Nine Inch Nails Ghosts VI: Locusts
Really put me on edge a while after the record stopped spinning
Nine Inch Nails Ghosts V: Together
sucks you in, and is utterly captivating. The score album 2020 needed.
Nothingface Skeletons
dispute having a few moments of the bands weakest songwriting and some obvious filler ("Scission") Skeletons presents nothingface in a introspective but melancholic light but with unhinged and uncompromising anger (come on guys, there is a song called "Murder is Masturbation" and another called "I Wish I Was A Communist" that should tell you what your in for) in a blend of the melody's of "everyday guide..." and "Violence" to create a timeless nu-metal album that stands as one of the best metal releases of the 00s. (If only we got the follow up album, the demos for what would of come out later slap so hard.)
Oranssi Pazuzu Mestarin Kynsi
yeah, what Tw1ster said about this in their sound off
PassCode Strive
PASSCODE has put out easily one of the most enjoyable albums of 2020. It's bouncy, it's fun, and it comes with a rush of excitement when heard like someone having ice cream and candy right after drinking an energy drink. I really cannot say enough how just downright incredible this outing is. PASSCODE is indeed striving and it is obviously paying off.
Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine
Aggressive and in your face, Rage against the machine sure due to a good job in getting listeners to rally by their side against the system, thanks to the benefit of laying down what would become the blueprint to nu-metal.
Red (USA) Declaration
sometimes shotty mixing aside, this is a really strong outing from Red. The album is the marriage of their sophomore album "Innocence and Instinct" and their 5th album "Of Beauty and Rage". This album is a celebration of the best parts of RED.
Red (USA) Of Beauty and Rage
an epic journey from start to end, in the bands most bombastic release to date.
Sabaton The Great War
Very catchy while at the same time highlighting the scope, calamity,and hopelessness of a pointless war
Scandal (JPN) Kiss from the darkness
One of Japan's most popular rock bands, SCANDAL successfully experiments with electronics in an impressive feat of not losing their own sound in the process.
Silent Planet The Night God Slept
"The Night God Slept" serves as one of the strongest debuts in metalcore. Fresh instrumentation and a rather uneque concept (with most the songs here being from the POV from a woman) with some really balsley themes throughout. Silent Planet debut shows this californian band can write a half an hour of compelling, thought provoking music.
Skillet Collide
This is such an underrated gem in Nu-Metal alot of folks sleep on. If not for the st. anger mixing with the drums on the last song, this would of been a 5. This is a nu metal album that is that good, Honestly might be in the top 10 for the whole genre.
Skillet Ardent Worship
Honestly, this is better then most christian rock band's attempt at a rock album, and way better then I had expected it to be. I would not mind hearing a second Skillet worship album tbh
Slipknot All Hope Is Gone
In retrospect, this album is a bit underrated, it is more straightforward heavy metal, and it works quite well here. RIP Paul
Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind
the comeback album of 2019, after having ".5" the bands weakest album, the WANYK (Wank lol) combines all the best parts of each slipknot release and adds a bit more of a new flare into things
Spanish Love Songs Brave Faces Everyone
I remember at the start of 2020 I was riding the same high as everyone else, I even said that this for sure would be on my best of 2020 but I think it might at best barely miss the cut. Here is what I have found retrospectively, is that while yes a lot of the album does resonate personally (like with everyone else, this is the Emo album for everyone in Gen-Z who are in their 20s and dealing with the various struggles in that) there are just some moments on here that do come off as a bit too whiny. Perhaps it might just be that I am in a completely different mindset than when I heard it at the beginning of the year. "Brave Faces Everyone" is an album that relies so heavily on Being an emotional gut punch that when the jab does not land it will stagger slightly. I also found the first half to be way stronger than the second half, though the second half was still pretty good too. This is still a pretty high recommendation from me, it is just something I was a tad too high on the hype train for in retrospct.
Taylor Swift Lover
take "you need to calm down" off the album and this moves up to a 5, no seriously, this album is that good.
Taylor Swift Folklore
feels like a marriage between "Speak now" and "lover", will need some time to sit with me but i can see myself raising my rating of this in the future. This is an excellent folk album with some great use of lyric storytelling
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
This was such a treat, Let me back into your crazy world Mr. Brown
The Dear Hunter The Fox & the Hunt
this was a really pleasant listen to hear. The arrangements and composition is very well done
The Devil Wears Prada Dead Throne
Apon re-listen this album is rather deep in has a lot going for it and is a great step forward in mature songwriting, The Asking Alexandria diss track Alone warrants this higher then a 4
The Devil Wears Prada Transit Blues
A rather experimental shift for the band that is really firing on rall cylinders, Also "Daughter" and "Key of evergreen" are still fantastic songs. TDWP is transitioning, but they never lose sight of who they are. What the hell are old-school fans rabout? this goes harder than their first 2 records
the GazettE Filth In The Beauty
I mean filth in the beauty by itself is a 5/5 song, it is a j-rock/nu-metal classic for a very good reason. The B-sides are also strong tracks too though "Crucify sorrow" is just slightly the weakest link here. Still to have two B-sides that would make for strong singles is an impresive feat.
The Mountain Goats Tallahassee
one of my personal favorite concept albums
The Mountain Goats Songs for Pierre Chuvin
Yes, Yes, YES.. this is stripped down throwback recording done right. The little in between dialogue here or there help give the album a more 'live' feel.
THE ORAL CIGARETTES Suck My World
"SUCK MY WORLD" is a vibrant and colorful album, it really does feel like its own world with how rich it is. The Oral Cigarettes don't just bring you into their world, they suck you in. Their really is not a moment of boredom during this vibrant albums near-hour long runtime. I was expecting this to be good (i knew them previously from the Noragami second OP and from the Revisions OP, the latter of which is actually a full song here) but i was not expecting it to be THIS good, nor was i expecting it to be a potential 2020 AOTY candidate
The Pillows Happy Bivouac
one of the better and definitive alt-rock releases of the late 90s. This album has what a lot of those albums of the same era lack and that is the staying power to not be a doomed late 90s One-Hit wonder playing in Wallmart
The Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
well..its a staple in the genre for a reason
The Who Who
The dark horse of 2019, and proof your grandpa's bands can still kick ass
The Winking Owl Thanks Love Letter (Thanksラブレター)
This album had such a profound impact on me personally, if you need something to help you smile, give this a spin.It is being injected with high doses of optimism, "NEW" is also catchy as all hell too, and one of the most cathartic songs for me personally
Thousand Foot Krutch The End Is Where We Begin
The band sees them bringing back part of that Nu metal sound of "Set It Off" and "Phenomenon", thankfully this is a great improvement over those albums, plus their are some songs on here that are more in line with the band's last 3 albums. The balled on this album are fantastic too. This is the most complete and best effort the band has put out, and where they peaked. Aside from a few corny or cringe-worthy lines here ("P.S DoNt PlAy Me LiKe A 3Ds") this album is one that is a fantastic listen, and still holds up quite well from when it came out nearly a decade ago.
Tool Ænima
Absolutely fantastic! I mean, it is not as good as the album that would follow, but that album is a masterpiece few records can match or exceed
Tool 10,000 Days
While not as good as its predecessor, 10,000 Still is a strong powerhouse of an outing from a band who one could argue more than half of their albums are 5s
Trivium Shogun
I would say this is more on the thrash side with metalcore elements, but regardless it is still a pretty damn great album
Underoath Lost in the Sound of Separation
Underoath gives one hell of an ambitious album that is as heavy as it is ambient. this album is home to some of the most catchy songs in Underoath's catalog. in an album that deals with the drug addiction spencer battled (remember when Christian sites said it was a concept album about the end of the world?) in an album that gets bleaker the more that time passes on it. might be one of the best albums that are solely about drug addictionrRecommended tracks: "Breathing in a New Mentality", "Anyone Can Dig a Hole but It Takes a Real Man to Call It Home", "The Only Survivor Was Miraculously Unharmed", "The Created Void", "Coming Down is Calming Down", "Desperate Times, Desperate Measures", "Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear"
Underoath Survive Kaleidoscope
Note: this sound off/rating is for the DVD, not the CD. The performance here is outright fantastic. Underoath really do know how to put on a live show and this performance is the best representation of the "Define the great line" era of the band. the passion from these guys is on full display here. the setlist is perfect to, while some will be upset about songs like "reinventing your exit" or anything from the Dallas era being present, those do not fit with the representation of this era, much less underoath from this point forward. Their are so many highlights here and their really is not a dip of fatigue from the band throughout the whole set. a majority of this album sounds just as good live (one would argue in the case of the "TOCS" they sound better) just an outright phenomenal performance
Unlucky Morpheus Change of Generation
some fun fast paced power metal, with a bit of a unique anime OST-esque edge to it. The composition is top notch and Fuki gives her standered exceptional performance
Unlucky Morpheus Unfinished
"Unfinished" is the heaviest album from unlucky Morpheus, and it a real treat too. Even the most 'raw' release from this band sounds epic as hell!
Within Temptation The Heart of Everything
This near perfect album is also a top teir effort in symphonic metal.

4.0 excellent
Aldious Deep Exceed
Even though the first few songs do feel more like slightly more polished tracks that did not make it onto "Dear slave" slapped onto it (especially with the drum mix for the first few songs) this album gets better as it goes on. On the revamped songs from the "Dear Slave" EP like "ultimate melodious" see a lot of the idea, they had on that Demo that did not reach their full potential due to production limitations paying off greatly and not only feel more polished but those concepts are played into their full potential. The Melodic guitars are really fantastic to hear. This album sounds like something straight out of the 80s metal scene. Remis vocal performance is strong too from her ability to be soft, low and soothing to belting out in a more traditional metal style. "DEEP EXCEED" marks a strong start for the Ultimate melody (pun intended) that is ALDIOUS.
Aldious Dazed and Delight
after a bit of a complacent sophomore slump, and the first Re:NO album being a bit of adjustment period. the band is able to rediscover the core concept of the band and take it into an interesting direction. this album is a Nu metal album dressed up as a power metal album. there is also some western inspiration from Evenesscene and skillet present too. The only drawback of the album is the snare is a little too punchy in the mix. other then that, this is a excellent album.
Aldious Radiant A
"Raident A" sees the band go in a more commercial and mainstream sound, and it works, there are trickles of nu-metal from their last album and other stylings (Pop-punk?!). the melodies on these songs are fantastic and Marnia fits right into the band. this is a fun album
Avatar Hunter Gatherer
"Hunter Gatherer" from start to finish claims its trophy as a rather exceptional record
Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold
A shift to radio rock that works well. While it is the band's softest album it is not soft in enjoyment.
Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare
could really feel their grief on this one.
Band-Maid Just Bring It
And now almost all the pieces are in place, their are only a few odd moments here (like the autotune in "cross" that does not fit very well) but all and all, the stage is set for BAND-MAID's next full length to really make an impact.
Band-Maiko Band-Maiko
The traditional Japanese re-arrangement of some of the band's biggest hits make this a remix EP that is very enjoyable. (Basically this is Band-maid if they were like Wagakki Band)
Basement Beside Myself
Thank god this is a nice and present, unlike that hideous Microsoft paint cover art. Also deceptively catchy too.
Between the Buried and Me Colors
this is prog. metalcore done right.
Big Thief U.F.O.F.
Might be my favorite folk album from 2019
Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
So, is this where we got the start of Prog. Metal?
Black Sabbath Mob Rules
the sequel to "Heaven and Hell" and like most good sequels, its solid but no where near as good as the first installment
Black Sabbath 13
Ozzy returns in the band's swan song as they give a fitting sendoff the the band's legendary but quite bumpy career
Blood Incantation Hidden History Of The Human Race
Well...this just kicks all kinds of ass
BRATS (JP) Karma
Anyone else feel a strong band-maid influence here? regardless this is a rather strong outing with a rebellious punk spirit to make this one of the best Indie J-rock albums of the year
Breaking Benjamin Phobia
I would say this is like if three days grace did not suck, but i feel that would being a disservice to these guys.
Bright Eyes Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was
do not know about everyone else, but i got some 80s vibes with it, and honestly that is what makes this so good.
Bring Me The Horizon That's the Spirit
Their is a slight dip at the end of the album, however the album has so many strong tracks that make this a great outing in the bands transition to a more commercial friendly rock band
Bring Me The Horizon Live at the Royal Albert Hall
their is a bit of a wasted opportunity hear, particularly with the lack of "There is a hell" (aside from one song) due to how orchestral that album was, replace "Follow You" with "Don't Go", "Go To Hell For Heaven's Sake" with "Crucify Me" and i guess "Throne" with "Suicide season" if you want something from the 2000s. Also Oli just talking all of the lyrics (Mainly on what is supposed to be the screaming parts) is just really underwhelming. With that being said, everything else is great and the orchestral arrangements are fantastic.
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Trout Mask Replica
Chaotic and weird as hell, this is an album that is a grower and will require several spins before one can come to their definitive opinion on the album, I like now more then i did on my first listen, but I would lying if I did not say I feel all the acapella tracks do feel a bit tacked on
Celldweller Celldweller
pretty good, though the softer moments are slighty too melodramatic
Chevelle La Gárgola
Ah yes, the Alt. Rock version of "The Silver Screen"
Christina Aguilera Stripped
oh hey, a early 2000's pop album that has aged quite well. Christina can belt quite nicely too.
Code Orange Underneath
and of course the anti-metalcore bias on the site is well and strong.
Coldrain The Side Effects
The Linkin Park influence that dominates the album works quite well, even the weaker moments on here have their charm.
Crossfaith Wipeout
"Wipeout" is really enjoyable and has a great melody (something crossfaith does not get enough credit for, is how good their hooks are), and the EP does not loose it's steam thought, "Vermilion Gold" is a B-side beloved by the fans for a reason.
Crossfaith The Dream, The Space
A rather great improvement on a band that already found a solid sound on their debut
Crossfaith New Age Warriors
A rather fun and enjoyable EP, and does feel like a DLC for Xeno.
Crossfaith Species
Interesting to see some Ghostemane influence on "Digital parasite". This is a step in the right direction after the missfire of "EX MACHINA" and it does feel like the band is evolving in sound here. the inclusion of some rap elements sparingly works well for them. Crossfaith, welcome back
Crystal Lake Helix
More of a nu-metal album with a metalcore atheistic and it works, "just confusing" is like the title says, quite a grower and i really do dig that song now.
Days of the New Days of the New
The Debut album showcases how acustic group Day's Of A New proved that Grunge after 1996 is not all bad.
Dazzle Vision Shocking Loud Voice
Pretty solid compilation album, the new versions of songs are better for the most part, and the two new songs are a fine addition the band's quality catalog.
Def Leppard Hysteria
"POOOUUURRRR SOOOMMMEEEEE SUUUGAAAR OOON MEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Deftones Diamond Eyes
a back to roots album that is better then the roots, well if anyone could do it, its defiantly deftones.
Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship μ'sick
I liked the part when he said BREEEEEE and when he said WEEEEEE i felt that I really do not like that he kept calling me a WEEEEEB though
Delain Lucidity
Solid symphonic metal, I mean while it is not reinventing the wheels by anytime, does not change how well done the arrangements are
Demon Hunter War
Ryan Clark gives a great vocal performance, Clarks screams are reminiscent of the Demon Hunter self-titled debut album. the riffage and guitar melody present on this album is fantastic. the album does take a small dip in the second half, a few songs being rather underwhelming(but not bad). this album showcases demon hunters' really impressive ability to blend melody with aggression on songs.
Denzel Curry Zuu
This Florida tribute succeeds in its one goal, being fun. This is insanely catchy too
Denzel Curry 13lood 1n + 13lood Out Mixx
Short and sweet, feels like a bunch of B-sides thrown together but rearranged to flow like one 10 minute long track
Dir En Grey The World of Mercy
Honestly this song might be the anthem of 2020 (though it came out near the end of 2019), the song just gets more an more relevant with every new crazy event...was this an omonus prediction?
Dir En Grey Gauze
Is this album overrated? slightly, the first half can be slightly unmemorable, however the album really picks up with "Tsumi to Batsu" and oh man is the rest of the album from that point really damn good, like really really back good. The Polished production from X-japans Yokashi really helps this album in a big way and helps makes songs like "mazohyst of decadence" even more unsettling. It is hard to say you will hear something like it at the time it came out and i can see why many VK bands tried to use the sound from this album at one point or another in their career.
Disturbed Indestructible
MASTA OF WAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Disturbed Immortalized
A rather fun and enjoyable comeback album, that can sometimes be way too cheesy for its own good. It also does sound quite different from the other albums in the catalog so that is a plus
Dream State Primrose Path
I got some Old ITM vibes in this thing, so yeah, considering how much I love Metalcore ITM I am all over this
Dream Theater Distance Over Time
I mean...it sounds like a dream theater album, more back to basics after a bit of an ambitious record.
Dreamcatcher (KR) Dystopia : Lose Myself
All the other songs are pretty solid, definitely b-sidy though. However what makes this more then worth it is the single "BOCA" which is honestly one of the best songs of 2020. So many dynamic elements going off yet again how unique of a group dreamcatcher can be. The vocal chemistry is just something else, and the transitions on the sections are so seamless but each section is so interesting. So yeah if it was just "BOCA" I would have 5ed this with no hesitation. But as I said, other songs are pretty solid too
Elvis Presley Elvis in Concert
Even in the end of his career he is one hell of a performer on stage
Elvis Presley Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite
Hawaii will always be the second home for Mr. Presley. This was honestly a rather wholesome concert.
Elvis Presley Promised Land
Saturday Night Elvis
Elvis Presley Elvis Is Back!
Elvis combined with doo-wap makes for an album with fun energy, and a bit of diversity and variety.
Elvis Presley Girls! Girls! Girls!
Such a fun vibe on this one, "The walls have ears" is so good.
Elvis Presley How Great Thou Art
Gospel Elvis is fantastic!
Elvis Presley Elvis' Golden Records
The first greatest hits album, is home to some iconic songs of his that are not found on any studio album (Ex. "jailhouse rock")
Elvis Presley From Elvis In Memphis
say goodbye mediocre soundtrack albums, and say hello to a new Elvis
Elvis Presley Let's Be Friends
This is a fantastic combination of the best of Elvis, the inclusion of another great gospel song from him makes it better
Elvis Presley Elvis Country (I'm 10,000 Years Old)
How the King found his groove again, one neg of this though is the constant abuse of fade-outs.
Elvis Presley Elvis in Person at the International Hotel...
Elvis was really something in live performances
Elvis Presley Elvis' Gold Records Volume 4
well, this is another great compilation album from him.
Elvis Presley Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis
Elvis live, no further reason to explain my positive rating
Elvis Presley The Sun Sessions
Quite the start to his career. It is a shame their are some songs that are completely lost so we will never hear every single song from this session.
Elvis Presley The 50 Greatest Hits
One of the best Elvis Compilations so far, it is a solid run of most of his best stuff
Evanescence Fallen
The album really goes of to a fantastic start and really keeps that momentum thought the middle, it does dip a little during the final leg with tracks 8-10. Other then that, this is a solid debut album that was more then deserving of being the phenomenon it became.
Failure Fantastic Planet
a weird case where the second half is the strong half where the lesser songs are in the first half.
FAKE ISLAND CELL DIVISION
This is some strong metalcore, and the trance elements work very well here. their are some rather interesting moments thought, and this song does a good job of wearing its influences like Fear, and loathing in Las vegas on it's sleeve. Fake Island give a strong debut that showcases a strong chemistry between the bands two front woman.
Family Force 5 Business Up Front, Party In The Back
Still the best album in crunkcore, it's not even a contest.
Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas Hypertoughness
Good to see Fear, and loathing still pulling strong after the adversity they had the last 2 years.
Fiona Apple Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Welp...since I did not give this a 5/5 twitter is gonna cancel me.... #DavezillaMP3isoverparty insert k-pop fancams here
Fit for a King The Path
I do not get the hate for this one at all, yes it has a more mainstream rock formula to it but that is not a bad thing, and this is no where near as mediocre as the new wage war (in fact this album is much heavier then that one). It does what it had set out to do and very well succeeds in that
Gary Clark Jr. This Land
good songwriting a guitar work, glad to see the blues is alive and well
Ghost (SWE) Meliora
Has a nice classic metal flare with a bit of pop sprinkled in and it works really well. Of course, the sp00ky camp really does add to the charm
Gojira From Mars to Sirius
The length does bog it down bit, but regardless this album is one mammoth of a release, as to be expected from Gojira
Haru Nemuri LOVETHEISM
Haru is officially on my radar now. This Really Impressed me
I Set My Friends On Fire Astral Rejection (OG)
We were robbed of such a fantastic one, but I am glad it finally could be heard in the light of day.
Icon For Hire Icon for Hire
Competently different from the debut, but this does kick so much ass, the alternative elements work well and is a band not being eating by "the imagine dragon" in the posses. The filler here "I think I'm sick" and "Counting on hearts" is solid too. While It is no longer a 5 for me, It is still an underrated album that I was glad to revist.
Icon For Hire Scripted
One of the better albums of the early 2010s christian rock groups (though Icon protests they were ever christian) even the filler songs like "pieces" and "Up in flames" are enjoyable enough
Icon For Hire Still Can't Kill Us: Acoustic Sessions
Icon's Acoustic album has some arrangements that are not only just as good, but also better than the original versions.
In This Moment Black Widow
The band continue their stride on this nu-metal/industreal metal-like sound and it works well for them. the use of trap beats on "Sex metal Barbie" works well too. while it does not have as High of highlights as past releases, it is still worth checking out
In This Moment A Star-Crossed Wasteland
the best ITM album, slightly odd pacing aside, it is one adrenaline filled ride i recommend
Iron Maiden Powerslave
When I revisit this, i may bump this up to as high as a 5
Iron Maiden Killers
While It is not a classic, iron Maidens second offering continues the momentum they built from their debut with electrifying results
Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time
ITZY IT'z ME
I am really really impressed with this, it starts out solid and gets even better. Their are a lot of different sounds here and the are pulled off quite well. They already have really good charisma and work off each other well. These girls have a lot of potential, and are now on my radar
Jeff Williams RWBY Volume 7 Soundtrack & Score
the soundtrack side may be one of the most cohesive rwby soundtracks so far, and it overcomes the shortcomings of having 2 rather mediocre cuts this time around that do drag the album as a whole down slightly. Not to mention "trust love" is the weakest RWBY theme song so far. the score side is just fantastic, there is a lot of tension on that side. So i would reccommend spinning the score before going to the soundtrack
Journey Frontiers
alot of the songs are really fantastic, what bogs it down is there are 2 tracks here that are rather lackluster
Joy Division Unknown Pleasures
Pretty damn great, even if I do feel it is slightly overrated, it was still worth hearing.
Kansas Point of Know Return
I can see why some of the older folks love this so much
Kero Kero Bonito Bonito Generation
"FIRST YOU FALL DOWN AND THEN YOU GET BACK UP AGAIN!" so upbeat but at the same time so well put together, love the childish nature combined with subtle maturity here.
Killswitch Engage Atonement II: B-Sides for Charity
Toondude is right folks, this album has the bite that "Atonement" was missing, also the mixing is better too but everyone has said that.
King Diamond Abigail
This is the album those pastes warned us about but I do not care. their is so much to enjoy here from how well the concept of the story is executed and king's high shreeking performance, though i am expecting backlash for low balling such a deservedly critically acclaimed record.
Korn The Serenity of Suffering
Korn returns to picking up where they left off right after 'untouchables' here, even the songs here that would qualify as filler like "the hating" and "Next in line" are really enjoyable. this is still one of my top albums of 2016. also Ray>David.
Lecrae Restoration
aside from some questionable features (cough YK Osiris cough), Lecraes "Restoration" restores hope and faith in these uncertain times at the same high level of quality we have come to expect from him
LEDGER LEDGER
LEGDERS EP is a solid first offering from the skillet drummer, though some cuts like "Warrior" are just too cheesy for my liking. "Forgiener" is a power anthem with teeth to it, and "Ruins" is for sure a tearjerker. "Ironic" may be on the cheesy side but the verses are solid and the chorus has a good amount of power to it. "Not dead yet" and her first single is another great cut too.
Linkin Park Living Things
You know, Mike's rapping sounds way more punctual here, seems more like a back to basics release, but it works well in that department
Linkin Park Meteora
this album does take a few tracks to get rolling, but once "Hit the floor" starts is where the album really gets great. That is not to say everything prior is bad or any means. the start of showcased the band's softer side and is a departure from "Hybrid theory" or even the album it is apart of.
Lovebites Awakening From Abyss
One hell of a start to the band. Which might be a bit of an understatement
m!sa ALL IN VAIN
While it may be jarring for those who know her from her Story Of Hope (do not let those somewhat edgy song titles fool you!) , ALL IN VAIN serves as a rather enjoyable experiment into the direction of pop.
Mac Miller Circles
a Posthumous album that is a bittersweet sendoff rather then a cashgrab, how refreshing
Make Them Suffer How to Survive a Funeral
"Bones" slaps, also I really love those harmonies,this is some grade-A dejent
Mariya Takeuchi Variety
I dunno why the way the songs were arranged reminded me of the 70s output of Elvis (in a good way of course) and Mariya's vocal delivery is a little on the tender side. Short version: it holds up as an essential listen in the J-pop cannon
Mary's Blood Countdown to Evolution
high octane and off the rails, mary's blood outright fantastic debut is full of interesting moments in which the band has a (mostly) consistent sound through. While their are some out of place moments, those are few and far between during this "countdown to evolution"
Mary's Blood Bloody Palace
A Lot more cohesive then the debut, "Bloody Palace" is one bloody good time, "I'M DEAD" rips hard. may bump this up higher when i revisit it (Which will happen) but now, this is a VERY strong 4.
Mary's Blood Fate
"Fate" is another strong output from Mary's Blood that takes a lot of inspiration from Metalcore and uses it quite well. though its not as good as "Bloody palace" as their are 2 songs on here (especially the final track) which do feel kinda redundant, so now i completely understand why Mary's Blood wanted to change their sound after this. Do not get me wrong this is more then a good album, its an amazing album, but their is no denying that if they kept on this course, the next album or even the one after that could of been really rough.So yeah, As i will say again, this is still a very good album, and is (currently) the last cohesive album in mary's blood's catalog.
Megadeth Endgame
This kicks ass, Such a great comeback from one of the big 4.
Megadeth Th1rt3en
Megadeth start the 2010s rather well in a 13th album that slaps
mildrage ROM
bosting some rather impressive instrumentation, Indie Metalcore band Mildrage gives a rather melodic but enjoyable 5 track EP. Meg steals the show with her cleans on the album, one of Mildrages strengths is the chemistry between her and T.e.p.p.i on cleans and screams.
mildrage K.M.S
Short, agressive, and all the memes from 2015. Also The melodic part that is only there for 10 seconds is such an earworm, that is pretty damn impresive. I understand sampling the old "Rap battle" meme video from years ago may rub people the wrong way, but this is an agressive track that is at least worth hearing, will only take a minute of your time.
Misfits Famous Monsters
pretty campy put at the same time it is a fun record.
MUCC Aku
Half of it sounds like gauze era DIR EN GREY and the other half sounds like Untouchables-Take a look in the Mirror Era Korn, So in short, it is freaking awesome! I will say i prefer the more Korn leaning stuff here, the breakdowns really do hit!
Narumi The Seed
A strong Fantasy setting instrumental EP
New Years Day Unbreakable
while Meh at times, New Years Day really have come into their own finally as a solid alt.-metal group
New Years Day Diary of a Creep
this is actually..a pretty solid covers album
Nightwish Once
one of the more iconic symphonic albums that is nearly just as good as as it's reputation.
No Doubt Tragic Kingdom
One of the more enjoyable ska albums that is more then just "ArE yOu HaViNg FuN yEt?"
Norma Jean All Hail
Great to see another longtime Christian Metalcore band going strong, and this album really does slap, i can defiantly understand the high amount of 5s with this one
Nothingface Pacifier
this is slipknot before slipknot. holy hell this is just so good. nothing face must be one of the most underrated nu-metal bands out there. Their whole catalog is a goldmine so far.
Otoboke Beaver Itekoma Hits
Really does a good job building you up for the first few songs before everything just drops and goes off the rails
Ozzy Osbourne Ordinary Man
really pleasantly surprised by this. this is a reflective record on someone knowing their imminent time is coming, but that does not mean they are any less afraid. not to mention Ozzy gives a solid vocal performance throughout
Panic! at the Disco Pretty. Odd.
an album that advertises itself with the title, "pretty odd" contains no shortage of charm.
Paramore Brand New Eyes
Honestly this is "Riot pt 2" but that is not a bad thing at all
Paramore Paramore
Man this album was a real treat to hear, and the band does go in a new direction here that works quite well for them
Periphery Periphery II: This Time It's Personal
Thankfully unlike the Jaws movie the album title got it's tagline from, it is enjoyable and not an embarrassment
Polaris The Death of Me
Woah man, Australian Underoath sounds real dope. Talk about a blast to the past
Powerman 5000 Tonight the Stars Revolt
Is it 90s? yes. Is it Nu metal cheese? Yes. But is it Entertaining? YES
Queen Sheer Heart Attack
well this was a start of a shift for the band, but as far as adjustment albums go, this is one of the better ones.
Rage Against the Machine The Battle of Los Angeles
A rather powerful and unapologetic album, though I would be lying if I did not say I felt the middle portion of it to be a little underwhelming, with that being said, It is one hell of an album, which is to be expected from RATM.
Red (USA) Until We Have Faces
The album does take a small dip in the backhalf, but this is a strong outing from Red Still.
Rina Sawayama Sawayama
Rina takes the listener on personal journey that those who were youth during the early-mid 2000s will find nostalgic on her debut album
Scandal (JPN) Hello World
Oh man, what one hell of a record, the songwriting here is pretty strong and the whole album in the general play's out like this wholesome coming of age tale. As my first SCANDAL album, I do have a bit of nostalgia for this but my gosh is this album not cute and catchy
Scarlxrd IMMXRTALISATIXN
oh hell yes! 2019 really spoiled us with three strong SCARLXRD releases
Sepultura Quadra
Holy. Crap. Did anyone else have Sepultura making a kickass comeback on their 2020 bingo card? Talk about a dark horse.
Skillet Awake (Deluxe Edition)
"Dead Inside" and "would it matter" are both fantastic and improve the original album
Skillet Awake and Remixed EP
Honestly, the remixes here are pretty good, "Awake And Alive (The Quickening)" is my personal highlight here
Skillet The Older I Get
Skillet Unleashed Beyond
The bonus tracks (minus the nonsensical "You Get Me High") really do add to make the original album better
Skillet Alien Youth
Skillet Alien Youth (Limited Edition)
Snot Get Some
Nu-metal with a hardcore edge, with such a fantastic debut, the tragedy after the release makes this one of the biggest what-ifs in the genre. As it stands this is one of the most unique albums in the genre, and an underrated gem worth checking out!
Soundgarden Badmotorfinger
I can understand why this is one of the most essential Grunge album.
Staind Tormented
their is so much potential on Staind's debut effort, and it is nice to hear aaron lewis put effort in for once.
Static-X Wisconsin Death Trip
HHHEEEEEEESSSSS A LOOSSSSSSSSEEERRRRR SHE SAID (am i the only one who finds the telephone voice goofy on that song?)
Static-X Shadow Zone
Static-X Project Regeneration Vol. 1
This definitely sounds like static X we all know, and the distinct sound is still there...however for anyone expecting anything different from static X, you will be disappointed. that being said, it is a good Static-X album, and if you are in the need of that industrial Metal adrenaline, this is a solid offering in 2020
Stitched Up Heart Never Alone
While there really is not anything special or unique about this album, the band does play to their biggest strengths which make it an enjoyable listen.
Stryper Against the Law
Breaking the law, christian edition (joking aside, this album does kick all kinds of ass)
Taylor Swift Speak Now
The singles here are great! Their is also a great deal of verity on this album. This album also does get better on every listen too!
The Almost Fear Caller
Aaron is quite the underrated songwriter and composer.
The Beatles Abbey Road
Maxwell's hammer is pretty brutal bruh.
The Cure Pornography
yes it is a rather atmospheric experience that in the presentation of the instrumental and the dreary lyrics, the vocals are a bit of an acquired taste, that is to not say they are bad, just might not be everyone's cup of tea
The Devil Wears Prada Space
The Devil Wears Prada go to space in a gripping and emotional short story.
The Devil Wears Prada With Roots Above and Branches Below
This album took what made plagues enjoyable and really refined it to make one hell of a fantastic record, I would love to give this a 4.5, heck I would love to give it a 5, but the album should have ended with "Louder than thunder", "Lord Xeno" is the worst song on here, and might be one of the bands weaker songs in their whole catalog.
The Devil Wears Prada Plagues
while I did find part of the second half did take a slight dip down, does not change how much this album exceeded my expectations, I was expecting a singles album but instead, I got one where the electronic elements were used way better then most metalcore band's even 5 years into present day with some rather solid melodies. There are some solid deep cuts here and as a whole, this was a really enjoyable listening experence
The Devil Wears Prada Audiotree Live
This was a really great live performance! Sounds almost identical to the album versions but with some minor changes. definitely makes up for the shortcomings of "Dead and Alive"
the GazettE Stacked Rubbish
the GazettE Toxic
the GazettE Beautiful Deformity
the GazettE Madara
This is pretty fitting album for my 666th rating. this is the most consistent pre-disorder release and the sound that would shape that debut can be felt here.
the GazettE Hyena
"hyena" itself is a pretty great Nu-metal anthem, But "Chizuru" is the main highlight and is one of the very rare cases of a b-side absolutely outshining a strong single. "Defective tragedy" has a Linken park influence that works well though the song itself does feel more like the band had 2 different song ideas and mashed them together, as it did not all blend together smoothly (though for the most part, it did).
The Night Flight Orchestra Aeromantic
This is a great workout jam. It also feels like it came right out of the 80s too
The Raven Age Conspiracy
this honestly kinda slaps ngl..
The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
Holds up pretty damn well i would say, I just wish i liked it as much as everyone else seems to.
The Weeknd After Hours
Yeah, I can see this being one of those big albums down the road that everyone talks about being one of the "great pop albums", being a concept album is also a plus
Thousand Foot Krutch Welcome to the Masquerade (Fan Edition)
In regard to the addition tracks, they are great "Take It Out On Me" being the definite best one of the three, "anyone else" is one of the albums stronger ballads with "look away" and "Already home" and "Shook", while the weaker of the three is still one of the albums decent cuts and in no way weakens the album.
Tool Undertow
Tricot 10
this is so happy and sweet, and I still remember the chourses off this album, for math rock that is a really impressive feat. I wonder if this album would of been called "White" at one point.
Trivium What the Dead Men Say
It is a more melodic direction, but it is an enjoyable one. Still, do we call Trivium a Metalcore band with thrash elements or a thrash metal band with metalcore band?
Underoath Cries of the Past
Underoath's second effort goes Christian black metal and it works quite well. Taylor vocals work pretty well in this style and Chris Dudley gave the group a massive bump with the atmosphere presented. the album is surprisingly dark for a Christian album at the time, apparently dealing with Taylor guilt of causing the death of his then girlfriend in a car crash. regardless this album is a massive step up from their debut (and a really exceptional black metal album)
Underoath They're Only Chasing Safety
while it is clear spencer joined the band last minute to replace taylor as he spends most the album with high screams, this album is the sequel to "the changing of times" but superior in every way, every single song, even the weak cuts like "Down, Set, Go" are memorable. While my nostolgia of this really wants to give it a 5 their are a few points here there are some dips on this album here and there, this album still holds up really really well.rRecommended Tracks: "Young and Aspiring", "A Boy Brushed Red, Living In Black And White", "Reinventing Your Exit", "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door" and "I'm Content With Losing"
Underoath They're Only Chasing Safety Special Edit
"I've Got 10 Friends and a Crowbar That Says You Ain't Gonna Do Jack" is one of the best songs of the band's whole career (remember when this song was a pain to find? lol) the rest of the bonus songs are ether just gutarless versions of songs on the album or early demos. The said song mentioned is what makes getting this worth it though. same rating as the regular edition here.
Underoath Define the Great Line
"Define the great line" was not just a defining album for the band, but of the metalcore landscape. the electronic elements hold up really well...and unlike alot of other acts between 2007 to now, they have aged like fine wine. Spencer sounds more comfort zone here and his tag team with Aarron helps to make an album that is as reflective as i is catchy (while it is NOT as catchy as "TAOCS" some of you saying that this is not catchy at all really are getting ahead of yourselves). the only weak points here is the interlude track goes on for a bit too long, and the first of the longer tracks could of been shortened slightly. This is the moment when Underoath cemented their place as one of the GOAT's of not only metalcore, but modern metal
Within Temptation Resist
Umm..Why does this sound like a Skillet album? (Not that i am complaining)
Yellowcard Ocean Avenue
pretty damn great and one of the better pop-punk albums of this era
Yellowcard Lights and Sounds
Yumi Nagashima My Name Is Yumi
you know, if you need a good laugh, give this a spin, she is a pretty good comedian
YUNGBLUD Weird!
I went in not sure what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a rather enjoyable listen and YUNGBLUD does a great job vocally. In some cases, it was like the mid-'00s in the best possible way. "God save me, but don't drown me out" is one of those songs that just connected with me on the first listen. Their is also a ton of replay value with this one which is a bonus.
ZOMBIE-CHANG TAKE ME AWAY FROM TOKYO
while sometimes it feels weird for the sake of being weird, their is no denying the artistic merit "TAKE ME AWAY FROM TOKYO" has

3.5 great
(G)I-DLE I made
this was chill but at the same time fun, a lot of good fun vibes with this one. also i found the south american element to work quite well here
3rd Strike Lost Angel
a rap fused nu metal album from a group that only made one album? well this is way better then i thought it was going to be
A Crowd of Rebellion Zealot City
reminds me a lot of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but without the electronic element and some math-rock influence here and there, I like it.
A Day To Remember Homesick
a simple fun album, it is not trying to be anything else. Is the songwriting for it by the numbers? yes but "homesick" has a deal of personality that saves it from being generic
A Perfect Circle Eat the Elephant
at a few points, it is trying way too hard to be weird and the album does decline with it's last 2 songs, but the middle of the album is pretty strong. Saying that about the middle of an album is actually quite rare too
AC/DC Power Up
Yes, I know this is nothing new for the band, and it can be seen as just basicly the same song eleven times, but gosh-darned! I have to admit that I really enjoyed this one, AC/DC knows if it ain't broke, and how to make that same style never sound boring.
AFI Sing the Sorrow
Alice Cooper Hey Stoopid
its fun, that is all that needs to be said
Angels and Airwaves We Don't Need to Whisper
vocals will not be everyone's cup of tea, but regardless it is well composed.
Ariana Grande Positions
I mean it is sadgirl bang jams, but they are good sadgirl bang jams. (their is some cuts on here though that are very clearly filler)
As I Lay Dying Shaped by Fire
If we can be honest, this is pretty solid if slightly dated.
August Burns Red Phantom Anthem
metalcore with some impressive guitar work, got some minor BMTH vibes here
Avenged Sevenfold Waking The Fallen
Even In their metalcore era, you can still hear the sound that would become the AX7 that everyone would come to know
Bad Brains I Against I
an underrated gem that is a odd but well done combination of a few genres
Band-Maid Brand New Maid
Continued improvements, their is still quite a bit to iron out, but It is defiantly a step in the right direction (though the band was always heading in the right direction)
Band-Maid New Beginning
Right after the unexpected popularity of the B-side "Thrill" New beginnings in a way is a Debut album with BAND-MAID shifting to that new direction, with some of the hiccups of a debut album along the way.
Billie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
I mean its a well done debut, I can see Billie putting out material that blows this out of the water later on...but i can also see her moving to try too hard with EDGE....
Black Sabbath Vol. 4
their is a bit of a significant decline in creativity from the band, however the Sabbath have not lost momentum.
Black Sabbath Sabotage
Oh no big deal, just yet another solid outing from sabbath.
Black Sabbath Tyr
A notable improvement from the whole band's output after Dio left, it does feel a bit too safe of an album from these guys though
BLACKPINK Kill This Love
a fun EP that i still come back to, "Kick It" is the best one here
BLACKPINK Blackpink
Fun listen that if nothing else, should satisfy Japanese fans of the band. the energy from BLACKPINK is bilingual
BLACKPINK The Album
BLACKPINKS debut LP is one that (for the most part) plays to the strengths of the remembers in the group. their is no denying that is a fun LP, the highlight of the album by far is Lisa and Jennie, who carry the album with a self-confident swagger and is one of the main appeals of BLACKPINK (and also both are really good rappers, which is something BLACKPINK at least seems to do better then a lot of their K-pop Peers). Even Jusoo steps up and the members have really fantastic charisma throughout the whole album. The only main knock i have against this is "Bet you wanna" which is a painfully stale track that proves Cardi B ruins everything she touches.while their are two other cuts which sound very much dated ("lovesick girls" is right out of 2012) it does not knock the fact that this is overall a really great listening experience. Though BLACKPINK if you were trying to westernize yourselves, wouldn't it make sense to put past hits like "Kill this love" and "DUU-DU-DU-DU" on the album too, i mean at least you would have a proper album, and not a glorified mini-album? My recs: "How You like That", "Pretty savage", "Crazy over you", "Love to hate me","You never Know"
Blood Stain Child Amateras
Good to see the band has not feel apart after the drama with them the past few years. (though Ngl they did Sophia Dirty)
Bob Dylan Rough and Rowdy Ways
may not offer much in terms of vocal performance, but it complements the poetry of the lyrics quite well. The blues instrumental is serviceable too
Boris Love and Evol
It is captivating, though if at times it does get a little boring
Boris NO
Reverse Uno Card, Boris addition. Seriously though the unexpected hybrid of drone and punk works really well, would love to hear more in this style from them
Bring Me The Horizon Count Your Blessings
"SHE STARTS HER NEW DIET WITH LIQUER AND DEICK!"
Bring Me The Horizon Suicide Season
The singles on this album slap so hard, and while the rest of the album does not, their are some pretty good cuts like the titled track and "no need for introductions"
Bring Me the Horizon & Draper The Chill Out Sessions
Chill beats to relax and study too: Brought to you by Bring Me The Horizon
Charli XCX How I'm Feeling Now
Metalhead here, and i can say 100% without a doubt this is a bop.
Crossfaith The Artificial Theory For The Dramatic Beauty
One of the few band's that got how to combine electronics with metalcore right, and on first try too. Impressive. This is one of the better metalcore records from that late 2000's era
Days of the New Days of the New III
while not as good as the other efforts, days Of a New's Red album is still really good.
Dazzle Vision Origin of the Dazzle
Their is a notable lack of bass in the mixing (as it feels a lot like Metallica "and.. Justice for all" in that regard), and it feel a bit rough to hear, but man does this EP have great songs thought, the outro is one of the most unsettling things i have ever heard in music too.
Dazzle Vision Live In Pittsburgh
Their is a ton of reverb on the vocals for what ever reason, and the mixing quality is not the best, but it is the highest res we will ever get of the band live. the set lest is pretty good, as it incorporates every release (minus "Camila Japonica" and "Origin of Dazzle"), and includes "Circle" which would not be on an album till a year later and "STEP", a song i cannot track down anywhere for a studio version. Maiko sounds absolutely fantastic thought. I have no idea why they end the live CD right before the encore starts, it is very baffling and anti-climatic. Dispute the very glaring flaws of this, it is hard not to really enjoy and the passion from the whole band comes through. I am still glad i spend around $40 on this a few years back (when if you wanted to by a Japanese CD in those times, you had to shell out 40-90 USD)
Deadsy Commencement
Nu-Metal fans will be disappointed with this, however dark wave fans will enjoy the fresh and aggressive spin on the genre. If only this genre hybrid worked better though...
Death Grips Year of the Snitch
while I do like it, It felt like their was something missing and the sheer weirdness was sort of masking it. Kinda expected a bit more tbh
Deftones Adrenaline
while it does get a little samy, the Debut from Deftones does really pack "adrenaline" , and of course this album inspired so many for years to come to 'borrow' the style of this album for a reason.
Deftones Deftones
deftones just seems to get weirder and weirder, though sadly this does not have the same effect in that department that the previous album "white pony" did.
Deftones Koi No Yokan
sounds like "Saturday night wrist" but a way more focused effort.
DEXCORE [Metempsychosis.]
Quite The sized album, a double album with both discs being a little over an hour. Disc 1 is absolutely fantastic, a very rare case for a band to sound this unique and not like "very clearly influenced by X band" on their first album much less in the genre of metalcore. The softer tracks here are fantastic too and do not halt the album. One of the best releases all Year 4.5/5 Disc 2 is a mixed bag, its a re-recording of older songs, which are decent to solid, there are a few good ones like "I'm President" "black pig" (though I prefer the original version still), and the last two songs. though the new "Brainwashing" is just...yikes. The new chorus is way too compressed and the changes on the new version were not for the better. a few other cuts have this problem of being underwhelming. the second disc is also where the fatigue of this Mammoth double album really hits like a truck and can feel a bit like a trudge to get through 2.5/5 So if you want one of the best metalcore albums of 2020, stick with disc 1
Dimmu Borgir For all tid
While i am not a Black Metal fan, this was really enjoyable, and I can see alot of black metal junkies having this as a 5.
Dir En Grey MISSA
the first release from DEG lays perfectly the blueprints of what would become their debut release (it does take a massive page of inspiration to Luna Sea too). People who know them from their post-Vulgar output are going to be surprised though)
Disturbed Asylum
A more melodic take on the band's sound works well with the album being "Believe 2.0", but better in every way compared to that album.
Disturbed The Lost Children
an enjoyable B-side album. the first half is pretty strong, and it kind of declines near the end
Dzo-nga Thunder In the Mountains
this is some well-done folk-inspired black metal, the atmosphere of the album is really good too.
Elvis Presley G.I. Blues
Fun Fact: Elvis was not happy with the film or the soundtrack, and demotivated during the making of them. That being said, this is decent and has a few gems in here.
Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii
so many great hits and hidden Gems here, that being said, "Ito eats" is an absolute abomination that is so bad it prevents me from giving this higher then a 3.5
Elvis Presley Elvis' Christmas Album
slightly better then the Christmas album 13 years prior, a bit of an old school elvis flare here
Elvis Presley On Stage - February, 1970
a pretty entertaining Live covers album, also agree with what Mitridates said.
Elvis Presley 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong
the Elvis fans were (Mostly) right, so i guess the title was not missleading
Elvis Presley A Date With Elvis
man, so many compilation albums of him in 1959, though with him being drafted, I can see why
Elvis Presley Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3
is this another golden compilation indeed
Elvis Presley You'll Never Walk Alone
southern Church service intensifys
Elvis Presley Moody Blue
Lady's and Gentlemen, Elvis Presley has left the building
Elvis Presley Elvis' Gold Records Volume 5
i would not call "US male" gold but.. I mean this compilation series is still pretty good. It is about time their was one solely on his 70s output.
Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock/Love Me Tender
some sweet blue-grassy rock-N-roll fun here, oh and 2 iconic songs are here too.
Elvis Presley The Home Recordings
who would not enjoy hearing some rare recordings from Elvis, this is one of the more unique compilation albums, so it is one worth hearing.
END (USA-NJ) Splinters From An Ever-Changing Face
getting the ever loving life beaten out of you in metalcore form
exist trace Ambivalent Symphony
'Ambient Symphony' is an underrated VK gem that is the start of ExistTrace's change in sound. there are heavy songs like "RENESONCE" and the start of the out of left field tracks like the strangely titled "Wrath" (being its the softest song on the EP) There is a lot of this that falls under some older VK tropes, but it does it so well
Five Iron Frenzy Until This Shakes Apart
May not have been worth the 8 year gap but it's still alot to enjoy here.
Flyleaf Flyleaf
this Christian-emo album holds up pretty well. though I can understand why the vocals might be what deter people from this album as it is a bit of a required taste (lacy does improve on later releases) and the shock of her screams lose a bit of power when you are no longer shocked by "oh wait..girls can kick ass in rock/metal" (ahh the joys of being 11). however, there are some good lyrics on this thing and solid riffs as well as a fantastic bass line throughout
Flyleaf New Horizons
Lacy goes out in a strong final record in her swan song with the band
Forever Still Tied Down
pretty great debut i gotta say
George Harrison Cloud Nine
album cover looks like he is about to steal your mom.
Green Day Dookie
yes, "basket case" is as good as it is iconic and the album as a whole is a strong output, though it is a bit overrated. Regardless it is a really good punk album
Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy
In retrospect, this should of not really reserved the paddling that it got, it holds up decently well and there was quite a bit of creativity in the project. I understand that the constant turmoil ruined what could been but it is still a pretty damn good album all things considered
Hollywood Undead New Empire Vol. 1
honestly, I was dreading listening to this. but I am honestly very pleasantly surprised by this. good job undead, you grew up
Husker Du Zen Arcade
while its significance cannot be denied, it did not really age the best. that being said, it is not unlistenable by any means and is still quite good.
Icon For Hire You Can't Kill Us
Now competently Alternative, Icon For Hire's third studio album is a crowdfonded one which sees them hammering down in the direction they went in on the "now you know" ep, though their are some elements of rock sprinkled here and there With Ariel now using quite a bit of rapping for her verses (which helps to add quite a bit of personality to the album as a whole) . The Entire album centers around Mental health and depression and how sometimes we do not wanna get better because we like the way the pain feels. we like being in negativity. For the most part, this is done really well. Their are a few duds, like obnoxious "the magic" or the filler tracks "here we are" and "invincible", however the tracks on the album that are good are outright exceptional such as "Supposed to be", "under the Knife", "War" and "You Can't Kill Us".
Icon For Hire Amorphous
right now my opinion is kinda split on this one, one one hand the rock tracks have way more punch than they did on "You can't kill us" and are one of the biggest strengths of the album sounding right out of the Linkin Parks "the hunting party", on the other hand, the ballads on this album do leave a lot be desired and are inferior to past albums. this album is going to take a few spins and some time for me before i know where to set it but as it stands, 3.5/5 is a fair place to evaluate my current feelings on it, all things considered
In This Moment Blood
"WHORE" still slaps! It is still a very good album even though my opinion on it has lessened, and "Adrenaline" was not a good song, let alone single.
Jay-Z and Linkin Park Collision Course
Kamelot Haven
is it cheesy? yes. Does it kick ass though? Absolutely!
Karnivool Sound Awake
prog. nu metal, hey it works.
Killswitch Engage Atonement
It is a killswitch album, take that as you will.
Korn Untouchables
their are some fantastic tracks here (the singles, "bottled Up inside") but man is "Make believe" an absolute abomination of a song.
Lady Gaga Born This Way
"Born this Way" biggest strength is how diverse and versatile of an album it is, while it's biggest weakness is the album think it is bolder and grander then it actually is.
Lamb of God Lamb Of God
I feel compelled to chug monster energy to this
Lecrae After the Music Stops
Lecrae's sophomore album, while containing alot of the same issues of his first release (like the album sounding rather dated and a product of it's time) does showcase some great storytelling like on "death story" and is overall an improvement all arround
Lexie Liu Gone Gold
nostalgia that slaps hard m8, this is the kind of 80s/90s synth inspired pop stuff I can get behind!
Limp Bizkit The Unquestionable Truth - Part I
who knew rage against the bizkit would sound this good? lol
Linkin Park Hybrid Theory
Is their some filler and similar sounding songs? yet but as a whole this 20 year old landmark album for a whole generation holds up well, and still goes hard ("Point of authority","One Step Closer") with of course some nice dabbling into contemporary with "In the end". There is a good reason this album is remembered fondly even with the current popular disdain for nu-metal on the internet
Linkin Park One More Light
alright here is the deal, does it sound nothing like Linkin Park? yes. Is it a pop album? Yes. But is it good? Yes! honestly, while I can see why people do not like it (Or critically pan this) I can't say I am in that same boat honesty, this is a pretty good pop album so I will give credit to LP where credit is due.
Linkin Park Reanimation
Now THIS is a pretty great remix album, the only downside is there is only one album to work with here, so some of the remixes can feel a little repetitive
Loona 12:00
It is not much of a change from their style, but it is fun proof of "if ain't broke... don't fix it". There is an increase of rapping which works very well in favor of 12:00 and is one of the highlights here.
Mary's Blood Confessions
This album is a step up from the previous effort, things feel more ironed out. though there are some moments on here that are a little "Meh"
Megadeth United Abominations
A really solid release from them, this was the point where megadeath really did return back to form
Mike Shinoda Dropped Frames, Vol. 1
Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down Booty up Booty down
Mudhoney Superfuzz Bigmuff
some great early grunge on show here folks
Neil Young Homegrown
well this was a plesent listen, Their is a underlying folk touch to this whole album that works. Also Neil still can sing pretty good too
New Radicals Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
Quite underrated, one of the better late 90s alt-rock albums
New Years Day My Dear
It really is interesting how 00s NYD sounds completely different from Present Day NYD
Nightwish HVMAN. :\|\|: NATVRE.
fantastic first half, the second half does drag it down tho
NNAMDI BRAT
Rap and Math Rock is kinda a combination that should work together, and here it does.
NNAMDI Black Plight
really dig the instrumentals of this one. NNAMDI seems to have caught on with people and found his momentum with a math-rock direction
Nocturnal Bloodlust The Wasteland
When compared to the singles release earlier in 2020, "The wasteland' is a bit a disappointment. To be fair that would be a very high bar to clear. It is still another strong outing from NB. Welcome Back, boys.
Opeth Sorceress
quite the journey this one is. also this has gotta be one of the more toxic sound of pages
Paramore Riot!
An improvement over the debut in every single way
Poppy I Disagree
Pretty damn great Kawaii Metal album, even if i am not AS hot on it as I was when it first came out (for reference, my OG. score of this was a 5). this is a high Great that is a hair short of being an Excellent.
Poppy Choke
And just like that, we all were looking forward to her next full length
PVRIS Use Me
alright i do not get the hate for this at all. Sure the album does kinda go really "Meh" in the last three songs, but everything before that is really good. The singles were all pretty good and their are some really good deep cuts here and "Use Me" has vibe to it that i really dig. Plus the vocals here are pretty solid too.
Queensryche The Verdict
It wont blow away anyone who already is familiar with the band, but a solid effort nevertheless
Radiohead In Rainbows
Disc 1 is a 5. Disc 2 however is a light 3 to a heavy 2.5. while it is beautiful and vibrant, their is a lack of memorability
Red (USA) Innocence and Instinct
An improvement over the first album that balances both the "innocence" and the "instinct"
Red (USA) Gone
now THIS is what release the panic Should have sounded like! though It is kinda clear Sony wanted them to sound like starset (having bates have a few writing credits. and "Still alive" sound very close to Linkin parks "faint" or Bring Me The Horizons "throne"
Scandal (JPN) Yellow
While the standard fare tracks for the band are weaker here, "Yellow" shines in it's experimentation, bet ya never saw Japanese Reggie working("love"). also "Love me Do" is one of the most wholesome and adorable songs i have ever heard (and one of my all time fave songs)
Scarlxrd SCARHXURS
man, SCARLXRD is just killing it and shows no signs of slowing down
Scarlxrd Acquired Taste Vxl. 1
Man, SXARLXRD you are killing it, but just do not burn yourself out.
Silent Planet Come Wind, Come Weather
LORD DID YOU SEE ME AS I WAS DREAMING? this is one of the best EP debuts from a metalcore band i have heard so far
Silent Planet Everything Was Sound
i am gonna disagree with yall on this being better then the debut, this was a bit of a sophmore slump and a letdown, "everything and sounds" does suffer a bit from trying to do so many different directions and as such it losses focus. that being said their are some really damn good cuts on here "Panic Room", "Orphan" and the opener and closer. Also Just as good as "The Night God Slept" from a lyrical standpoint
SiM i AGAINST i
A pretty fun and fitting album to hear for my 420th rating. also "GUNSHOTS" is a really messed up song (look at the lyrics for it) but I really enjoy the song, I dunno why. I guess the best comparison I can do is that one sublime song "Date R***"
SiM Thank God...
While it has some filer and is a bit of a bloated release SIM still prove their ska- reggie like nu-metal fusion still works quite well in 2020. sonicly this is the bands most consistent release yet!
Skillet Awake
Honestly, looking back at this all these years later. I can defiantly see the appeal of this. However I did make an improved version of the album (re arranging the track list and taking songs out, that sorta thing. here is the track list for the redux if you wanna try it 1. Hero 2. Monster alt. radio version (awake deluxe ed.) 3.Would It Matter (awake deluxe ed.) 4. Awake and Alive the quickening remix (Awake and Remixed) 5. Awake and Alive 6. Dead Inside 7. It's Not Me It's You 8. Believe 9. Live Free Or Let Me Die (Comatose Comes Alive Bonus Track) 10. Sometimes 11. Never Surrender 12. Lucy (if this version of the album was the official i would of given this a 4 or higher)
Skillet Hey You, I Love Your Soul
I hated this as a kid, but now many years later I gotta say, this is actually quite nice, It is completely different from anything skillet have ever done and it is the band's softest album though (and their most underrated)
Skillet iTunes Session
An live session that is actually quite solid. skillet always puts on a good performance
Skillet Unleashed
Honestly this is some solid stuff here, it is not as good as rise and is more of a revisit of the "Alien Youth" era, which works here.
Skillet Victorious
even though this was a disappointment, and their is a dud or to here ("This is the kingdom") It is a fine release, though it is pretty obvious that this is now Corey's band now as Jen and John have other projects now to focus their attention on.
Stitched Up Heart Darkness
kinda a terrible marketing strategy to release 75% of the album on an EP months before release
Stone Sour House of Gold and Bones - Part 1
House Of Gold and Bones Duology> 5. The Grey Chapter
Stryper God Damn Evil
the album does lose a bit of its steam and momentum during the last leg, but regardless the 2018 release is a solid offering that will satisfy longtime fans of the band
Sukekiyo Infinitum
starts off strong, then looses its steam as it goes on, just can not keep that "wow" factor
Sum 41 Order In Decline
Pop-punk goes Metal, and it works much better then it sounds
Survive Said The Prophet Inside Your Head
i know this is gonna be kinda a dumb remark on my end (given the band's name) but honestly i was next expecting the album to be THIS uplifting. also it has the benefit of being rather versatile in style and sound through its runtime.
Switchfoot The Beautiful Letdown
honestly, this album does feel mellow. that that its a bad thing
Tame Impala The Slow Rush
The synth pop, psychedelic rock combo works quite well surprisingly.
Taproot Blue-Sky Research
this is kind of an overlooked gem in the nu-metal sphere, with the second half being fantastic. could do without that really cheesy cover song though
Taylor Swift Fearless
Some really strong country-pop here. The arrangements here are great and the innocent love tone thought is solid. their is some filler. Btw platinum version would actually bring this down to a 3/5, the bonus songs didn't do anything for me
Taylor Swift Evermore
I agree with the sentiment that it is the less memorable sequel of folklore, which is why to me this feels like the b-sides from those recording sessions. Don't get e wrong this is still good, like very good it is just compared to folklore it is clearly inferior. It's the movie sequel that is a good movie but nowhere near as good as the original.
Testament Titans of Creation
oh yeah, we got some strong Thrash in 2020 from one of the OG band's in the genre
The Devil Wears Prada 8:18
a more emotional sound that works quite nicely, though its rather simple song structure does hinder it a little bit from the potential of raw emotion the album is going for
the GazettE NIL
WE ARE FXXING JAPANESE! BUY OUR TEE SHIRT! ~What everyone hears when listening to "Discharge"
the GazettE Disorder
"Carry?" might be the most underrated song from this era
the GazettE Cassis
Thoughts on the B-sides Toguro: Has a bit of a nice seductive undertone to it, really like the punchy riffs and the triplet vocal flow on the verse (also start of inclusion of female vocals from the band) 3.5/5 Bite To All: leftover from disorder, sounds like a worse version of "Maximum Impulse" 2.5/5 Giving it a 3.5 because Cassis is a fantastic balled, regardless of how 'meh' "Bite to all" is
The Killers Imploding the Mirage
this is a rather pleasant listen, i really liked the atmosphere of this one
The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Enjoyable bluesy fun, though it does loose some steam near the end
Thirty Seconds to Mars 30 Seconds To Mars
Isn't pre ego great?
Thousand Foot Krutch Welcome to the Masquerade
This is a strong outing, though "E for extinction" and "Watching over me" are rather weak cuts, and "Fire it up" and "Foward motion" are just okay, the rest of the album is pretty damn good though
TK From Ling Tosite Sigure sainou
"Sainou" is as emotional as it is fun.
Tori Kelly Inspired by True Events
the coffee shop like setting in the atheistic of "Inspired by True Events" works quite well
Vehemence God Was Created
yeah...i can see why this is regarded as one of the most disturbing concept albums of all time
Violent Femmes Violent Femmes
i never thought a combination of folk and punk would work well
Weezer OK Human
Hey this is actully pretty great! Is it corny? Yes but its corny in a good way.
Wings Band on the Run
not a bad start to Paul McCarty's post Beatles career
Yousei Teikoku the age of villains
This is album has some amazing highlights, but there are several songs that are just okay. This ultimately, while a great album (which sees Yui's vocals rawer on a few areas) ultimately being a bit of a disappointment(and even though it was a disappointment, it's still a pretty damn good album)

3.0 good
$uicideboy$ Stop Staring at the Shadows
a Solid release, though the quality of the album is inconsistent at points. though thankfully there is more good consistency then bad
(G)I-DLE I trust
fun and vibrant, even if 2 songs here do scream B-side
(G)I-DLE I burn
I Burn does not offer anything new, but they do what they do best pretty well.
Agust D D-2
so i guess the members of bts sound better solo then in a group
Aldious Dear Slave
This is a solid demo. The mix is solid for a demo (though the drum mix is the weakest point on it.) also the piano balled to close out the EP has a bit too much reverb on the vocals. I understand they are making the best of what they have available to them though
Aldious Determination
Aldious hits a bit of a sophomore slump with their second album. there is some filler, and the drums a, for the most part, are so basic that it hurts (and does the album no favors when some of the songs kinda mesh together) however the great songs on this album are really great and do stand out. the guitar riffs on this album are killer, and Remi's vocals are the best part of this album. also "Spirit back" may be iconic (and for good reason) but the best track on here is the album closer, the fantastic balled "yasoukyoku".
Aldious District Zero
The band does go through some growing pains on this album with switching vocalists, however, the band does deliver a solid new direction in their sound. This album does inject some speed metal influences and has some nifty bass work in a lot of moments on this record. It is the same concept of the band, "Ultimate Melodious" but in a different way. RE:no's deep and melodic vocal style allows the band to have more agressive intrumental.
Algiers There Is No Year
The title is how everyone feels about 2020.
Alice Cooper Alice Cooper Goes to Hell
really bizarre but at the same time really enjoyable. The album does feel like it is trying waaaay to hard to be weird at points though
Alkaline Trio E.P.
ah yes, It is indeed an EP
Amalee Unity
the 12th album from amalee is a collaborative effort with many other relatively well known faces in the anime english vocal cover community. However the collaborations like this project overall is kinda underwhelming, with the features have very little presence here (one feature is just here to shout "hey" in the background, that is it), also Amanda using autotune for a lot of songs here sounds really out of place and awkward. Their are some of the weakest songs in her whole catalog here. however that is not to say this project is a misfire or bad, as there are more hits than misses. the last 3 songs (which balleds is something Amanda excels at), and the opener are all really good. there's something here which feels off to me, do not know what it is but there is something else that did not sit quite right with me. Regardless their is still enough to enjoy where i can kind of recommend this. this is a very light 3 (close to a 2.5). Recommended tracks: "Black Clover", "Weight of the world", "Don't think twice", and "orange"
Amaranthe The Nexus
this is a bit cheesy, but it does work well enough.
Architects For Those That Wish to Exist
Alright hot take here: I actully kind of like this. Its radio friendly metalcore but not done as yet another that's the spirit copy. However, that being said this albums biggest problem is that it is bloated as hell. This album has no business being 15 tracks and having a hour long runtime. The album did not need the filler when their is already about 11 strong tracks and it really does sour the listening experence. Listing to this album goes from "this is the stuff" to "okay please can this song end so we can get to the next one" over the course of this albums runtime. Honestly this album would of been much better if tracks 11-14 were cut, that would be a 4.5 record for me.
Aseul Slow Dance
Experimental K-pop was something I did not know was a thing, and honestly I dig It.
Avenged Sevenfold Diamonds In The Rough (Remastered)
What the title says, It is like it reviewed itself.
Bad Wolves Disobey
band shows they have much potential, however this debut also contains much inconsistency
Badflower OK, I’M SICK
Their is some a feel cringe lyrics here, but all in all it is a good debut
Band-Maid Maid in Japan
good but not recommended as a first album from the band. this does not represent what the band sounds like. the best way to describe this album is a Scandal cover band in maid outfits
Band-Maid Ai to Jyonetsu no Matador
Well, I think if "thrill" had not been the sudden hit that it was, BAND-MAID would end up as a SCANDAL Copycat
Big Thief Two Hands
Not as good as their other 2019 album, but it is still solid enough
Black Sabbath Cross Purposes
Okay, this album does pale in comparison with the last one, but it is still pretty good. The start of the 90s felt like a bit of a revival for sabbath
BLACKPINK Square One
Fun and great chemistry, this is a pretty satisfying taste of what would come from these girls.
blink-182 Nine
For me, this was nether best of the year material, but it was not worst of the year material. their is still a bit to enjoy here that Blink Fans will say is a "return to form"
Blue October The Answers
Talk about an underrated gem.
Bon Jovi 2020
scariest album cover of all time hands down. the album itself is okay, it is very much boomer rock, which will be a turnoff for a lot of people. the lyrics are kinda head-scratching though. Very light 3.
Bring Me The Horizon This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For
quite a promising Demo from these guys
Bring Me The Horizon Suicide Season Cut Up!
This is going to be a hot take, but the remixes are actually above average. their is some creativity and diversity in them! Of course their are some weak remixes here, but their are others here that are pretty damn great!
Cane Hill Kill the Sun
Quite a pleasant acoustic album.
Carly Rae Jepsen Dedicated
fun pop music from the "call me mayie girl" seriously though, I do appreciate this given the well...current horrible trends in pop music. this album is rather straightforward and simplistic in it just being, well several fun pop songs. there might be no depth to it other than that, but that does not change the album succeeds in what it sets out to do
Chevelle Vena Sera
Good but slightly boring hard rock.
Childish Gambino 03.15.20
a rather ambitious album that (mostly pays off) it is a bit pretentious though
CLC No.1
No.1 serves as an enjoyable and fun extended play from CLC, the rap moments are the best here.
Covet technicolor
It is beautiful, it just fails to live up fully to its potental
Crossfaith Apocalyze
A fun, albeit a flawed release from crossfaith, where they electronics element is more in the background and the album plays a more groove metal influence in the metal core style. the biggest issue with this album is half the songs feel like filler, or weaker retreads of past songs. the albums biggest strength is how aggressive it is.
Crossfaith Freedom
"Freedom" is pretty great, it has a simple crossfaith formula, but it is effective, and I do like Rou's Feature here "Rockstar steady" Not a fan of this one, it is a lesser version of "Wildfire" and more of a formulaic and by the numbers track for them "Diavolos" really dig the drum work and the blast beats here, this is the heaviest song on the EP. The chorus is really enjoyable and the Millennial whoop works well for it. Sick Break down too.
Crossfaith Madness
Just testing the waters for the sound that would eventually become Xeno, so it makes sense that this sounds like b-sides for that album (and these are bonus tracks on the U.S version of xeno). "S.O.S" is the best one herer
Crossfaith New Age Warriors Remix
I mean...its a solid remix ep. not much else to say here
Dadaroma MR. TERROR MAN
The Final release from the circus-themed VK act, shows why the band is at the very least going on a hiatus (though it seems more like a break up) they are just not into it, "Mr. Terror Man" lacks the power of previous singles and feels more like the band getting a farewell song over it, "Point of no return" Plays more like a song to satisfy the fans who miss the metalcore stuff of the bands very early catalog and its decent, and again it just felt like they were not that into it. There is, however "OTO NO NAI MORI" which is an absolutely fantastic balled and easily the one that resonates the most emotionally. It is the track that elevates this above just an average slightly underwhelming farewell release where one can clearly hear how burned out everyone was. It kinda a Shame DADAROMA is calling it quits right as arguably their career was starting to take off outside of the VK neshe.
Dance Gavin Dance Afterburner
People seem to be on ether the extreme critical or extreme praise of this.rMe: its alright
Deftones Around the Fur
this is a sophomore slump, alot of it is repeated ideas in the first album, do not mistake my words though, this is quite a the record
Deftones Gore
while it is their softest effort, does not man deftones put out a lazy effort by any means
Devin Townsend Physicist
if this is his worst album, then this dude has one impressive discography. May have to do a disog. run of him sometime
Dir En Grey The Insulated World
So the first few tracks really do rip, but man does it get mediocre for most of the second half, with a few bright spots here and there (Like the start of "Values of madness") but at least it ends on a high note with the beautiful balled "Ranunculus"
Disturbed Ten Thousand Fists
Now this is where Disturbed started to get promising.
Elvis Presley Elvis Now
"Elvis now" get three shrugs of approval out of five.
Elvis Presley From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee
For those that do not know as a fun trivia, this album was recorded live from his home.
Elvis Presley Today
It is pretty cheesy, but its kinda sweet too..their is something enduring about this. Though "Woman without love" would receive a ton of backlash if it came out today, #Elvisisoverparty trending and all.
Elvis Presley That's the Way It Is
while it is good, this album feels more....like an in between piece then anything else
Elvis Presley Love Me Tender
Simple but fun, nothing really special about it though
Elvis Presley Elvis
Even the king can fall victim to a sophomore slump
Elvis Presley Christmas Album
Elvis is singing you the blues this Christmas
Elvis Presley King Creole
It's okay
Elvis Presley Pot luck
another solid album, though I do feel the amount of filler is increasing.
Elvis Presley Fun In Acapulco
The Mexican flare here works quite well, another enjoyable listen from the king
Elvis Presley It Happened At The World's Fair
is...this Elvis making a children's album?
Elvis Presley Roustabout
hey it might be simple, but the king knows how to make it fun
Elvis Presley Spinout
one of his softer albums, this one is relaxing and sweet
Elvis Presley Paradise, Hawaiian Style
Elvis in Hawaii will always be a combo that works
Elvis Presley Singer Presents Elvis Singing "Flaming Star"
one of the better soundtrack albums to be sure
Elvis Presley Back in Memphis
I am digging this new direction of Elvis
Elvis Presley C'mon Everybody
a compilation album that is one of better soundtrack ones, however still nothing too special
Elvis Presley He Touched Me
the weakest of the gospel trilogy, however i still enjoyed this listen
Elvis Presley Elvis (The Fool)
good first half,decent closure to the album, the filling in the middle does leave a bit to be desired though
Elvis Presley For LP Fans Only
i mean... it is what is say's on the title...not much to say other then that
Elvis Presley A Valentine Gift For You
a rather pleasant valentines day mix that does not have much value outside of the day, making it a bit situational
Emery White Line Fever
Emery appear to be feeling lovesick. with that being said, I would lie if I did not admit found this underwhelming, and my rating could dip in the future
Emigrate Emigrate
has a strong second half, and a pretty good rammstein side project
Every Time I Die Low Teens
decent metalcore album
Fight The Fury Still Breathing
John Cooper doing Slipknot karaoke actually sounds pretty good!
Flyleaf Flyleaf EP
their could be a debate here on weather or not the EP versions of these songs are better then the original
Flyleaf Remember to Live
It is an acoustic album that used their B-sides. while the arrangements are nothing special, the use of lesser known material makes this one stand out a little more.
Flyleaf Much Like Falling
their is some problems with the mixing here and there, other then that decent EP
GHOSTEMANE Fear Network
well..I do not regret my 4 minutes of hearing this
Gideon Out of Control
Gideon may Axe their christian roots, but they are still able to put out some pretty decent stuff
Green Day Kerplunk
While eariler greenday is pure punk, their is not much hear that really sets itself apart. remove the name attached and is its just a decent punk album.
GUNIX WIRED
formed during the COVID-19 pandemic, GUNIX shows immense promise on their debut wearing influences of the likes of Fear, and loathing in Las Vegas and blood stain child on their sleeve, with a nu-metal twist. There is a lot that needs to be developed and ironed out, but on this debut, GUNIX has its direction down. Looking forward to how this group's career trajects!
Hayley Williams Petals For Armor II
Poor releasing strategy aside, the second part of Hayley's debut LP is much more enjoyable then the first
Hayley Williams Petals for Armor
While I do really like the sort of 80s aesthetic being used here, some of the hooks can be rather annoying (mainly the first 4 songs), however overall it is enjoyable enough
Iced Earth Horror Show
who does not like a little bit of cheese in their Sp00ky power metal?
Icon For Hire Now You Know EP
This first release from Icon For Hire post Tooth and Nail sees them going all in the alternative direction and shedding the rock side of their sound almost completely. The first song "Now You Know" which is a very blunt attack on the sexism in the music scene. It is pretty good too, aside from the rather annoying loop that makes up most of the instrumental, which is a bit of a big neg. "Bam bam pop" shows that Icon was prepared for the backlash they would get for the direction change, and they fired back preemptively. The Rap flow sounds pretty great and I do like the way She fluctuates her voice here. The beat here while nothing extraordinary does fit well with Ariel's Delivery. also, remember when the entire Christian fan base freaked out because Ariel cussed?
In This Moment The Dream
A bit of a sophmore slump here from them, and one of the band's softer albums
In This Moment Beautiful Tragedy
The debut album from In-This Moment is a 100% Metalcore affair that has some truly great highlights, ("Daddy's falling angel) among a decent amount of "okay" cuts. it is all an all an above-average Metalcore album
Incubus (USA-CA) Trust Fall (Side B)
Hopefully this is a start to a redemption arc for them...fingers crossed on "9"
IRONBUNNY IRONBUNNY ~Iron Hammer Alternative~
Another Idol-Metal band, and it is a solid album, though does not really stand out in the market
Jamie Lenman Devolver
this was pretty bizarre, but it was a fun listen
Jesu Terminus
Much better than the EP they dropped earlier in 2020.
Jinjer Macro
Something feels a little off, I think it might be the combination of prog. and metalcore slightly clashing here (not saying the 2 genres cannot mash, just saying it feels a bit odd here)
Juice WRLD Goodbye & Good Riddance
A pretty solid debut, "Lucid Dreams" is fantastic, though i agree it can be a little 'limited' in its songwriting
Kamijo Persona Grata
Kinda weird way to express this, but it is somehow epic but at the same time slightly mediocre. the last track was amazing from here.
Kesha High Road
this is a remaster of "animal" but with a bit of maturity to it, and at least it is not nearly as obnoxious, and it does get better in the second half. This Barley gets a 3 from me
Lady Gaga The Fame
kinda weak in the middle and has dated production. other then that, this is a solid debut album where some of the singles here do still hold some staying power here
Lady Gaga The Fame Monster
this one i would recommend taking the singles from this one and calling it a day. "teeth" is a song that is way too cheesy it comes of as a bit cringe.
Lady Gaga Joanne
A more soulful approach that in the end works as "Joanne" stands as successful departure from her synth-pop sound.
Lady Gaga Chromatica
Gaga's return to synth-pop is welcome, in an album that does use a bit of it's blueprint from "born this way". The BLACKPINK collab was lowkey a disappointment though
Laura Marling Song For Our Daughter
This is a rather nice. calming, and relaxing listen to be had.
Lecrae Real Talk
Lecrae's debut while being very much of a product of its time, is filled with many great hooks and moments to be enjoyed like it's secular counterparts. "The church" is a pretty weak cut and the album does get significantly weaker past the 5th track mark compared to how hard the first 5 songs are, it's not enough to say the songs are bad or that they ruin the album. This is just more of a 'if it isn't broken don't fix it' sorta thing which is why the album works more for a fun casual listen and not a serious sit-down listen. Also the percussion mix on the last song was kinda rough. Other then that Lecraes debut is actully pretty solid and at least worth hearing on the first 5 songs.
lie and a chameleon JUGEM
your enjoyment will depend on how much you like anime OPs. as this does not really offor anything outside of that sound. most of "JUGEM" sounds like decent anime ops. and form the score, you can see that i do indeed enjoy anime.
Limp Bizkit Significant Other
Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra
Huh? a good LB album in the last decade? you don't say
Linkin Park 8 Track Demo
pretty interesting look at the band before Chester joined.
Little Glee Monster Bright New World
The first few tracks (including a guest appearance from Earth wind and fire) are absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately after that, the album becomes rather forgettable and mediocre. There is a nice Christmas track as the second to last song but at that point it's a bit too little too late. The first 5 or so tracks are really what is holding me to give this a (barley) positive rating on an album with 40-60% filler. Thankfully though the back half is at least inoffensive so it's not the worst experience when it comes to filler. I am a bit disappointed in ways unmeasurable because a few songs in I was sure I had an AOTY candidate.
Logic No Pressure
this is a BIG improvement over the 2019 albums. I do like the sampling of O.Wells throughout the album and the beats are all really good. Logic does have better flows here and the album does start well...however he does fall back into some of those bad habbits in he middle, thankfully his final project is able to pick back up within the final 3 songs.
LONGMAN Just A Boy
sounds like a throwback punk album, and i think if you craving some of that 90s punk style, I recommend this to you. Their is a lot of great energy here and you can honest tell they were just having a really fun time recording this
Loona [#]
their is a bit of style hopping here, though it is a rather light kind. as a whole it is the rest of the songs are not as good as "So What" but that is okay, their is nothing bad (except for the annoying vocal hook of "Oh (Yes I am)"
Love and Death Perfectly Preserved
With a wait of nearly 10 years, their is no way this album was ever going to live up to the hype after the underrated debut album "between here and lost" which is one of the best albums In the nu metal cannon. This album commits no sins but does not stand out as it shows the group going in a much more radio friendly alt rock direction. It's a safe but enjoyable album. Let's just hope it's it's another decade wait for the next album
lynch. ULTIMA
There is no denying the heavy tracks slap hard, and the 2 ballads work in being sentimental. but the standard j-rock Vk tracks dominate the album (at least half the album is this) and it is the glaring weakness of the album especially with how forced they sound (very obvious GazettE influence that is a bit of a mixed bag). "Aster" is an example of this by being a very stereotypical J-rock song that bores one to tears. With all of that out of the way, the moments where this album is able to pull punches it succeeds in landing them on the listener. This may grow on me, but as of right now i see a decent-slightly above-average j-rock release that is at least worth your time if you like Lynch's heavier stuff or looking for something to fill that GazettE ich in 2020
Mamamoo Melting
While it does feel a bit lacking, Mamamoo deliver an overall enjoyable R&B and jazz fusion debut record. Second half is better then the first here
Mamamoo reality in BLACK
the second full length from Mamamoo again showcases the promise of the unit with its incorporation of latin elements, however one could argue that it may be a bit too complacent in its own box.
Mary's Blood Azure
the final ep before Mary's blood debut is rather underwhelming when compared to what came after it. However on its own it is more then serviceable, their is some impressive playing and all the songs on here practically scream "Anime OST". It is fine for what it is, its the closest Mary's Blood has come to putting out something that was below a 3 for me
Mary's Blood Revenant
a solid, albeit an inconsistent album. this album feels like a transition period
Megadeth The System Has Failed
Megan Thee Stallion Fever
Glad i choose to check her out after catching one of her freestyles
Messgram Cheers for the Failures
A promising debut album that shows this band has a lot of potential, the one big thing though that hurts this album is how underwhelming, hollow and rather inconsistent the mixing is through its runtime.
Nas King’s Disease
I mean it does get much better once you get past the first 6 songs, but however their are references that someone should really explain to Nas...
New Years Day New Years Day
this is a pop-punk album filled with cheerful nihilism
New Years Day The Mechanical Heart
The start of their transition to a hot-topic rock band. It was alright but...It can be background noise at points
New Years Day Victim to Villain
While it very much screams "Hot Topic", it is pretty decent all things considered. It does feel a bit...uninspired to put it lightly at moments though
New Years Day Epidemic
I would say it served as a pretty solid appetizer for what to expect on their next release.
New Years Day Malevolence
Underwhelming first half, fantastic second half.
Nightmare iNK
So nightmare's comeback for their 20th anneversy is......ok
Nightwish Dark Passion Play
looking back at "Dark Passion play" aside from the opening track the rest of the album is..just fine. it is a whole lot more "pop" then i remember.
NOFX Punk in Drublic
good, but overrated, especially with the filler and how one dimensional it is.
Nothingface An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity
while it a sophomore slump, there is simply no denying the raw power these guys have. seriously this is some top-notch arrangements with a nice bite to them
Oh, Sleeper Bloodied/Unbowed
this album feels like it's trying to be "holy hell" but falls short of the emotional merit of that album and despite that and inconsistent vocal performance. this is a pretty okay album
Olivia Rodrigo Sour
The punk stuff was great, the other stuff not so much.
Papa Roach Infest
while whiney, shadex's vocals do not ruin papa roaches finest hour
Paramore After Laughter
this album has one trick and its in that 80s niche and nothing more really. With that being said, it does that niche quite well
Paramore All We Know Is Falling
PassCode Clarity
Passcodes "Clarity" is full of promise and is off to a great start, and while the album is solid, in the end, It does not live up to its full potential, and it leaves some to be desired
Picturesque Do You Feel O.K.?
i honestly do not know how but i ended up liking this overall, do not get me wrong, this album has problems alot of problems, and is really generic. But their is something about this that i feel overall more positive with in the end result
Pop Smoke Meet The Woo 2
this was a fun listen, though some of the lyrics are a bit nonsensical. The beats on this are really solid too
Porcupine Tree In Absentia
An album that masks its dark undertoning concept in beautiful instrumentation excellently. though it can be pretty boring
Protest the Hero Palimpsest
A little too much prog. wankery for my taste, also is the singer holding his crotch the whole time cuz holy hell that is some rather high singing, kinda impressive. Overall if you are a prog. person then this might be regarded way higher to you then it was to me, but all and all I thought it was good.
R.E.M. Green
Rammstein Untitled
well another strong album that was a bit disappointing with in 2019
Red (USA) The Evening Hate
a teaser of what is to come...
redveil Niagara
you gotta give the kid props for being able to put out such a solid produced album, and yes he has a lot of growing to do in terms of as producer and an artist but jeez Fantano, telling him to just quit and come back a few years later? your snobby entitlement is getting really irritating to deal with and you never even gave it a fair shot.
Reveille Bleed the Sky
stereotypical rap-rock album with above average lyrics. while it is very of the times it has not aged too terribly (aside from that one song which sounds like the music ripped from the "you wouldn't steal a car" paracy ad from the mid 2000s)
Rhapsody of Fire The Frozen Tears Of Angels
I like me some good ol cheesy fun for my power metal
Rina Sawayama Rina
this has me looking forward to hearing her debut album
Run the Jewels RTJ4
It is fine, i do like some of the beats here, but as a whole i just felt this project was...for a better word lacking. But overall their was nothing here that was outright terrible, and i did like it.
Saint Asonia Flawed Design
Decent post 3DG outing from Adam might be better then the whole 3DG catalog
Scandal (JPN) Scandal Show
I mean its a decent compolation, but it feels like it came out away too soon in the bands career
Scarlxrd INFINITY
"I SAY NO TO VIOLENCE CUZ IT'S NO ENOUGH" just wish the rest of the album could be as good as the opener
Scarlxrd FANTASY VXID
sure their are some cool moments here that are enough to satisfy his fans, however people who criticize quantity over quality as a problem for scarlxrd now have a full album to prove their point with. this is his most safe album so far
Seether Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum
honestly, even though i am not exactly what you would call found of Seether, but i thought this was fine. "beg" is the best song here, but part amount of the album is kind of forgettable, still decent stuff
Selena Gomez Rare
I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how good this was. especially when Selena Gomez is a regret artist of mine.
Shinedown The Sound of Madness
Its a fine mainstream rock album, that is better then what a lot of it's peers were putting out at the time that is for sure.
Shinedown Us and Them
I donno but anyone else feel like...something was missing from this one but cannot quite put a finger on it.
Silent Planet Lastsleep (1944–1946)
the intrumunetals feel like time padding to make it an EP, rather then a single. still the single songs here are VERY good
Silverstein A Beautiful Place to Drown
This album sounds like it came out of 2006, but I am not complaining
Skillet Skillet
Pretty good debut, even though they were riding the Grunge trend, this album is still pretty solid today.
Slash Apocalyptic Love
Seems Like Slash is able to work well on his own, good for him
Snoop Dogg Doggystyle
This is a pretty fun album, their were too many d*ck jokes though that it got old and Tireing after track 5.
Soko ni Naru 超越 (CHOETSU)
It sounds nice, and the last few songs are the best here. I just wish this was a bit more memorable then it ended up being
Starset Divisions
In Retrospect, this album I have not come back to as much as the last 2 albums of theirs when i heard them. still good though
Steel Panther Balls Out
the jokes do get a bit stale near the end of the runtime, other then that good glam metal parody
Stone Sour House of Gold and Bones - Part 2
ARE YOU LADYSMAN 4486!!!!
Stryper Even the Devil Believes
while the album does feel softer as it goes into christian contemporariness it at least does more then speak vague and only ever use the three same scriptures because those are the easiest.
Suicide Silence Become The Hunter
After a missfire in their last outing, Suicide Silence play it safe in an apology record
Supersuckers The Smoke of Hell
It was decent, solid 3/5 on this, insert melon memes here
Taking Back Sunday Happiness Is
going to a more straightforward rock direction worked here.
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift
A pretty solid debut, and a damn great country album. It has not aged too well though
Taylor Swift Red
I did enjoy the experimentation on this album and the blend of different styles, however I do need to address the elephant in the room, the Co-Writing is not very good. That aside, this is a another solid album from T. Swift. Ironically I am heard this album (and am posting this sound off) on my 22nd birthday, so i guess i am feeling 22 after all.
The Agonist Orphans
it is a solid and decent album, that sometimes gets in its own way. also the "HUSH LITTLE GIRL" on the title track I just found to be hilarious for some reason.
The Birthday Massacre Diamonds
I did not expect to be punched in the face by an album in this style, but here we are.
The Black Dahlia Murder Verminous
Well....Its a Black Dahlia murder album, that is for sure
The Devil Wears Prada Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord
A debut which is straight forward metalcore, the synths here while having not aged perfectly is still better than those found in its peers at the time
The Devil Wears Prada Dead & Alive
even though you can clearly tell mike is tired, I prefer the vocals here over whatever the hell that mixing was on the "Dead throne" vocal tracks. it is a solid live LP all things considered.
the GazettE Gama
"COCKROACH" is outright iconic and fun, one of the best Nu-metal anthems ever the bass is fantastic throught. the next 2 songs however are kind of "just okay". "Sugar pain" does hit hard and i can see being played as the state anthem of alabama (since the song is about mother-son incest). As a whole, feels less like a EP and more like "COCKROACH" and some 'disorder' leftovers
the GazettE Cockayne Soup
Well I am not sure what is wrong with the drum mix on the first song, but the rest of this EP is solid with the back half of this being the highlight
the GazettE Akuyuukai
the mix is good minus the drums here. If not for that i would of said this is a step up from "Cockinine soup"
the GazettE Spermargarita
oh yeah, we got some good stuff here from the (Bi-yearly) anniversary concerts. though I do feel they might be a...bit overrated (Linda in particular).
The Ghost Inside The Ghost Inside
Who does not love a feel good story of a band coming back strong after trajady? Not AOTY materal for me but fans of the band will be more then estatic
The Strokes The New Abnormal
I may not like it as much as other people here seem to, but i still dig it.
The Warning XXI Century Blood
solid debut from this young girls, their is a bit of a dip in the middle though
Thousand Foot Krutch The Art of Breaking
This is a massive step up from the Nu-metal Discount Limp Buskit days of their sound. The guitar work on this album is rather impressive too.
Thousand Foot Krutch Metamorphosiz: The End Remixes, Vol. 2
the remixes here are a bit more bolder and creative than on the first one. their I still a bit of a mixed bag on the quality of the remixes though
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga Cheek to Cheek
It is a fun Jazz duet album, i got what i wanted out of it.
Tool Fear Inoculum
decent album, but man did we overhype this on our first listens of it.
Tricot Makkuro
Tricot gives an enjoyable fun album full of some great rhythms and melodies, that does fall victim to an odd mixing choice that makes a lot of the album feel uneven.
Underoath Act of Depression
Underoath's debut has the issue of nearly every song being identical to each other, and Dallas Taylor's screams are not suited for the Death metal style, that being said, "innocence stolen" is the highlight and I appreciate a Christian band handling that subject matter, especially in the late 90s. you can also tell how much passion these kids had throughout the album's runtime
Urbangarde TOKYO POP
"TOKYO POP" is an album that feels more like a mix of ideas rather than a cohesive project, though those ideas that the album are built on are strong enough for an overall positive auditory experience
Vistlip No.9
Visitlip have had a reputation for being one of the most hated vk bands out there. and here, this wont do any of the people who detest them favors. and while it is taking part of my least favorite subgenre of visual kei Onshore Kei, i can say it's fine. I will always have a soft spot in for this band for giving us "-OZONE-" at least, that song was fantastic, man it's hard believe "Ozone" is over 10 years old now.
VOID (KOR) AKASHIC
Visual Kei from south korea, I honestly did not know that such a thing existed. Regardless it exists now and it is honestly a solid effort. Not particularly memorable but I would say it did at least peak my intrest in these guys a little
Wage War Pressure
It is a decent but not really note-worthy metalcore album, what else can I say?
Wild Nothing Laughing Gas
shrugs Its good, i mean this is one of those Releases that does not give one much to talk about
Xiu Xiu Girl with Basket of Fruit
this was...really strange but I guess it was a good kind of strange?
Yumi Zouma Truth or Consequences
truth is that is it good, but the consequences is that it kinda...just meh in a sizable amount of the runtime

2.5 average
Alexandra Savior The Archer
Indie rock that try's to use psychedelic rock, but is too scared to commit to that change that the inclusion feels rather shallow.
And So I Watch You From Afar Successors
i mean its boring, overly repetitive and their is nothing really interesting about it...but at least it can serve as semi-decent background music to distract you from a midlife crisis?
Ariana Grande Sweetener
Its Quantity over Quality, not Quality over Quantity Ariana.
Attila (Billy Joel) Attila
It is generic Prog. Rock, but it is nothing terrible, just kinda meh. I would take this over the OTHER Attila any day of the week. That is some cheesy cover art thoguh
August Burns Red Guardians
It's fine. there is really nothing else I can say about this.
Bad Wolves N.A.T.I.O.N.
a slight sophomore slump from the better FFDP, or the "Zombie" bro-Metal cover band
Battles Gloss Drop
i mean its decent...i just do not think this one is for me personally though
BiSH LETTERS
While their is nothing bad on it, "Letters" is as underwhelming as it is frustrating. The whole thing really just sounds like generic anime music at best. How on Earth do you make a Musical-jazz like song not only sound uninteresting, but have zero charisma? I've been wrestling between a 2.5 and a 2 on this, for now i think i will keep this as a 2.5 because this is perfect textbook mediocrity
Black Sabbath Headless Cross
The gold ol Christian bois from the last album go through a phase where they like to talk about THE DARKNESS, so i guess it feels slightly more like a black sabbath album.
Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy
Sabbath get complacent, but I do not think I would call this the bands first dud though
Bleeding Through The Truth
kinda by the numbers metalcore, but at least it holds up decently.
Bring Me The Horizon The Bedroom Sessions
Its a demo that only hardcore fans would enjoy
Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal Remixes
1 Good remix, 2 bad remixes of "Can You Feel My heart", and 1 good cover of "sleepwalking". so yeah it is a bit of a mixed bag.
BTS Map of the Soul: 7
this is fine, nothing is terrible, but nothing her aside from a few cuts really stands out.
Coal Chamber Rivals
well the good on the final coal chamber album is they all cringe traces of their early output is gone, however the album as it stands is really unforgettable and the songs do kinda blend together. The bass here is lacking too, which is a disappointment since bass is usually one of the things this band has going for themselves. Coal Chamber moved from wanting to impress their big brother Korn to living with their uncle Pantara (one could argue the album sounds like Nothingface b-sides). On a positive note, Dez does bring a good amount of aggression and his songwriting has improved a lot, and the album is the band's aggressive to date, what is with those pointless interludes though
Coheed and Cambria Vaxis I: The Unheavenly Creatures
waaaayyy too long of a disc, shame because if it was shorter this would be great
Comethazine Pandemic
slightly disappointed with this, i was expecting more after I first heard his freestyle in the freshmen cipher.
Darwin's Waiting Room Orphan
"orphan" is nether the fittest to survive, but its not the weakest link ether. it is an album that just exists in limbo in the nu-metal cannon, in a void of indifference where nether positive or negative feelings exist for me.
Death Angel Humanicide
Mediocre thrash nominated by the Grammy's so they can pretend to care about genres other then pop
Deftones Saturday Night Wrist
feels like a massive step back, and comes off as rather pretentious. even the heavier stuff does not leave much of an impact. their is a lot here that just feels simply underdeveloped
Disturbed The Sickness
Some songs still slap("Voices", "The Game", "Down with the sickness", "Stupifly") but man has this not held up well, and some songs are outright comedy gold ("Dropping Plates", "Meaning Of Life")
Drake Dark Lane Demo Tapes
If i am going to be honest, this is rather mediocre. their are some flashes here and there though
Drake Bell The Lost Album
It is a fine classic rock n' roll record. However it feels more like a novel tribute then anything else.
Elvis Presley Loving You
Defiantly lacking the same energy of the first 2 albums. But its fine
Elvis Presley Something for Everybody
the King experiences mediocrity
Elvis Presley Clambake
Elvis goes western with a silly children's song thrown in there
Elvis Presley Love Letters from Elvis
kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel of the "elvis country" sessions, at least "Life" was neat in hear Elvis give us a recap of the Book of Genesis.
Elvis Presley Raised on Rock
and...the curve down to being "Just okay" for Elvis has returned
Elvis Presley Good Times
even the best moments here are done far better on his other albums put beforehand during the 70s, but at least nothing here was bad.
Elvis Presley I Got Lucky
OOF the soundtrack era rears its ugly head again. At least its tolerable B-sides though
Elvis Presley Heart and Soul
a rather mediocre and pointless compilation, their really is not a reason for this one to exist.
Emmure Hindsight
well at least it seems Frankie is somewhat trying, Emmure move from being loathed to being just average. If you all heard the 2019 King 810 album, then you know this could of been a WHOLE lot worse.
exist trace The Only Garden
"EXISTENCE" is absolutely fantastic and is a great mash of their older style and the current direction the band is in, it is sure to make old and new fans happy. Then you have the rest of this EP, which if I am going to be 100% I was disappointed by. The rest of the songs here just sound like B-sides or cuts on an album that are to the middle back end, making the whole thing just seem like a one really big maxi single. do not get me wrong, the other songs are not bad or anything like that, just they seem to be so played safe, even the 'oh look we are doing something out of style' track is like this. There is even a song here that sounds more like a song from CYNTIA's "WOMAN" era. I just really wish they committed to the old and new blend on that first track, because man, this could have really been something special. Now I am not going to give this album a negative rating, but I am not giving it a positive rating.
Family Force 5 Dance or Die
The album starts out strong for 3 songs, but man is most of this rather underwhelming Except for 2 songs near the end
FEVER 333 Strength in Numb333rs
Another shallow RATM copy, but with a bit of a LP influence, but it is at least one of the better ones
Five Finger Death Punch F8
"F8" is a step in the right direction and is a better effort than the band's last two albums. however, there are still a lot of things that need improvement. Such as falling victim to retreating into some old habits.
Flaw Through the Eyes
if nothingface was mediocre, then this would be what they sounded like
Flyleaf Between the Stars
Kristen May does a solid job as the bands new front woman, however the songs here i kinda just background noise. It really feels like a band going through the motions on an album and a wall between the singer and the rest of the band.
Flyleaf Who We Are
"Something Better" is nothing more then radio filler. Kristen sounds decent solid live though
FM Static Critically Ashamed
this mediocre pop-punk album was brought to you by LIFE ALERT. "TONIGHT IVE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!"
Forever Still Breathe in Colours
feels like a band going through the motions more then anything, also why does this album sound very simmiler to Stitched Up Heart?
Ghost Bath Moonlover
Shoegaze, and nothing else, so your enjoyment of this will depend on your opinions on the genre
Gorillaz Plastic Beach
yeah, i just found this to be okay. I know i am in the minority on this one
Hayley Williams Petals For Armor I
while I do like the arrangements, the hooks are way too obnoxious for me
In Hearts Wake Kaliyuga
some of the industrial elements here are really dated, and not in the "oh cool throwback way". i guess some of the riff were cool though? definitely more of a singles album though
Jinjer Micro
this teaser feels like incomplete and a bit rushed.
Katy Perry Smile
i mean whole album kinda just sounds like her trying to recreate firework, while i never really cared for katy perry, i gotta say the best song here was "Firework" and the worst was "firework". also am I the only one who finds her vocals too dreary?
King Gnu CEREMONY
King Gnu's *"Ceremony"* is a not so blatant carbon copy of other successful mainstream J-pop/J-rock that is not worth celebrating ((I am honestly shocked this sold platinum in japan)
Linkin Park A Thousand Suns
This album is too Interlude heavy for my liking, but some of the songs themselves are good.
Lollipop Lust Kill My So-Called Knife
While the album sets out to with its serial killer aethstetic, the albums biggest crime is how quickly it gets old.
Loona [X X]
their was really nothing here that caught my eye, and as a whole this project was rather mediocre. at least it was harmless though. execution is decent too
Lou Reed Metal Machine Music
ah yes, the greatest Drone metal album of all time
Machine Head Civil Unrest
Well I can say it was not as bad as we expected it to be, so that is a plus
Miyavi Holy Nights
One of the most forgettable releases from Japan this year.
Monsta X Fantasia X
Monsta X fails to stand out from its male counterparts in the k-pop landscape, giving in a dated but harmless effort that will not offer much to even the most hardcore of k-pop fans
Neptunian Maximalism Eons
while I do enjoy the atmosphere the album had, the album is way too one note to justify its over 2 hour runtime, and the second half does become a real slog to get through.
Neurotica Neurotica
Guns N' Roses cover band tries nu-metal, to meh results
Not My God Not My God
slightly boring, but nothing outright bad
One Ok Rock Eye of the Storm
I do not think it is as bad as everyone else, it just exists.
Opeth In Cauda Venenum
Honestly, this album is rather forgettable, and i really wanted to like it.
Powerman 5000 The Noble Rot
very dated, someone tell Power Man 5000 we no longer use VHS
Red (USA) End of Silence
this album has aged Horribly. The vocals also sound way too nasally for my taste here.
Seventh Wonder Tiara
This one did not have as much replay value as i thought...and it does blend together a bit
Shihad FVEY
unmemorable and inoffensive
Simple Plan Simple Plan
Simple plan just simply do not have a plan for growing up
Skillet Invincible
the album really has not aged the best and only has 2 tracks worth mentioning, "Best kept Secret" and "Angels fall Down"
Skillet Feel Invincible Remix EP
Why would I want to hear the same song 5 times? they are all decent remixes though, but we all know this will mainly be used for christian school dances
Spineshank Anger Denial Acceptance
i mean, it may be heavy but the album does no offer more then that, and their are other albums in both Nu-Metal and Metalcore that do that better. also NGL this kinda sounds like a Killswitch Engage knockoff at points
The Birthday Massacre Nothing and Nowhere
this demo is alright
The Devil Wears Prada Patterns of a Horizon
While their are some somewhat interesting slight diffrences in some of the songs, this overall is an slightly inferior version of the debut album, one of this albums biggest problem is the snare drum.
the GazettE REGRET
"Regret" is one of the band's weakest singles in their post-debut album era. The B-sides do have some moments (like the guitar solo of "Psycodellic heroin" or the rapping and the acoustic guitar intro) they ultimately cannot shake how mediocre his release was. Sure I do not "Regret" hearing this, but their is nothing here worth going back too, especially with how much better tracks there are during the band's Nu-Metal era.
The Pretty Reckless Death By Rock and Roll
its CW rock, so its serviceable but their is a lot it leaves to be desired
These Hearts Yours To Take
Yes this is a massive improvement, especially the vocals which no longer sound like he is holding his crotch to sing the high notes. some of these ratings of 3.5 and higher though i feel is because the first album was so bad, it exceeded their expectations. Not only has the singing improved but so has the musicianship But as a whole this album is the textbook definition of average post-hardcore. the two songs i recommend here are"the inconvenience" (which as a heads up is an anti-abortion song, so that may not sit well witch quite a few people) and the soft but heartfelt closer "Never Mind Me"
Thousand Foot Krutch The Flame in All of Us
This album is a step down from The Art of Breaking, and it feels like a watered-down version of that album. aside from some cuts like "Falls apart" this album is kind of just one big fact "MEH"
Thousand Foot Krutch Metamorphosiz: The End Remixes, Vol. 1
the remixes were nothing special, just the kind of stuff to play at a dance for the Christian schools.
Thousand Foot Krutch Metamorphosiz: The End Remixes, Vol. I & II
for a remix album, it is mediocre. but for a christian remix album, it is solid
Underoath The Changing of Times
I am sorry, but no matter how many spins i give this one it does not click with me. this the worst album of the dallas tayor era. their are some good cuts but overall their is not much staying power. this 'screamo' style (using the term screamo because i feel this album qualifies under that genre) does not go with taylor very well. overall this could be seen as an inferior version of "they're only chasing safety" at least the synths and drums are cool
Underoath Erase Me
I am not against a band changing their sound, but..aside from the two singles here the rest of this album is somehow "meh" personified, even Chris Dudley has so few highlights here. "Erase Me" is somehow tame but at the same time trying to force going darker in their most Edgy album (no not referring to cussing). while none of the songs are bad, none aside from the singles and "I gave out" really stand out. I know some will say that I don't like it because it's not like the Underoath I knew, but counterpoint: if the name Underoath was not attached to it, not as many folks would have cared for it and it would, quite frankly, have a lower average score. this is yet another example of a weak sauce comeback album where Underoath return with no more then a wimpier
Weezer The Teal Album
an okay covers album
Wolfmother Wolfmother
who else remembers "woman" from Madden 08, that aside this is decent and just barely misses on being a 3 from me.

2.0 poor
(G)I-DLE I am
One of the more boring and mediocre kpop Eps I have heard, one good track cannot save how mundane this feels
(hed) p.e. Stampede
"Dio was gangsta as heck yall!" ~(hed) p.e 2019
(hed) p.e. Class Of 2020
this album is like the person who got failed to graduate for half a decade, so the school gives said person a diploma out of pity. because this is just sad, if the state of hed p.e could be summed up in two words here: Washed Up
12 Stones 12 Stones
well another regret album of mine, well at least even back then half the songs were a pass. Hearing it now, i can say the instrumentation while bland has it's moments to step up as above average, though those are few and far. Paul can give emotion in his performance but for 85% of the album he chooses to the half asleep yawn that plagues Post-grunge. Only song worth checking out is "soulfire" one of the better worship rock songs out there
6LACK 6pc Hot
6lack fails to stand out in an already over-saturated style
Arch Enemy Will to Power
more like..."The will to mediocrity" lol, but seriously the songs here are so generic and the album is full of cheesy self-empowerment anthems that i heard more subtly in christian contemporary music. The lyric writing is the weakest point here. this is the kind of album where if you took all the worst aspects of Skillet and threw that in a melodic death metal blender, with an anti-relgion line here or there (cuz why not). the only positive I can give is the vocals, which even I feel wasted potential from.
Asking Alexandria The Irony of Your Perfection
With the debut, i am questioning what AA's problem is, is it the band or the vocalist? before they were copying BMTH and TDWP, they released this genari-core album. One postive i can say about it is it does not get AS BAD as some of the worst albums in their catalog.
Avril Lavigne Under My Skin
I mean its not good, but at least it is inoffensive?
Billy Talent Billy Talent II
Look, I am sorry but the vocals are really grating to me
Black Sabbath The Eternal Idol
I Can't Believe It is not Christian Rock! Black Sabbath edition
Black Sabbath Never Say Die!
Sabbath lose themselves and find them selves being a trendy carbon copy cat of the times.
Black Sabbath Born Again
A boring album that was a bit of a slogfest that shows when Dio quit the band, so did the bands creativity
Black Sabbath Seventh Star
why does the cover make it look like a country album?
BLACKPINK Square Two
this second ep from BLACKPINK was rather boring, something about these songs just feel really weak, like something was missing. i also did not really feel the group dynamic worked well here. at least the acoustic whistle was good though
BLACKPINK SQUARE UP
"Du-Du-Du-Du" is fantastic and I am behind the hype of that track, however, the rest of the EP is rather stale and bland, there really is not much to note other then it sounds very dated (this would be mediocre if it came out in 2011, and that is being nice)
Body Count Carnivore
The screams on some of the tracks are kind of hilarious, also the songwriting is rather weak, aside from a few humorous moments. other than that there is really nothing to say about this release other than there is a great Amy Lee (evanescence) feature on the record.
Coal Chamber Chamber Music
coal chambers second effort is not a memorable one, as the album itself 'borrows' a lot from Korn's "Life Is Peachy" however at least most of the effort is inoffensive, will minus the absolutely horrendous shock the monkey cover, which is gloriously bad. Who knew hearing Ozzy try to sing on acid behind Power chords and one of the most pathetically low budged music videos he took apart of in the 90s would be so entertaining?
Coal Chamber Dark Days
Dark-Day's is sort of a step up from the first 2 albums as their is not song that sticks out as cringe inducing. However "Dark Days" was made in a time where the band hated each other, and unlike other albums with this sinaro like "IOWA" the album as a whole suffers a lot from this and as a result. also Dez's lyrics are stupid and cheesy but that is a staple of the band and part of their aesthetic so i will not neg him for that. However I can neg him for being a songwriter with no variety.
Corey Taylor CMFT
Aside from the weird rap song that sounds a bit too inspired by Kid Rock for my liking "CMFT" adds to the collection of forgettable Solo albums from Metal vocalists and commits many of the same problems of those albums (being all over the place, coming off as out of touch with what is cool with the kids, a lot of self gloating lyrics) Giving this album an extra +.5 for the BABYMETAL and Maximum the Hormone cameos but a -.5 for the Ms. Otep and Asking Alexandra cameos in the music video for "CMFT Can't be stopped"
Crazy Town Darkhorse
Me: Hey Mom, can we have Linkin park? Mom: No we have Linkin Park at home Linkin Park at home But hey, at least its an improvement from the debut. Still, it is proof Rivers pretty much has a knack for making poor life choices
Crossfaith Ex_Machina
their is no denying the first 5 tracks really do rip (seriously "Perfect Nightmere" is so heavy it will not be literally impossible to lift what ever listing to the track) however the rest of the album is just.. a lesser and pale imitation of the bands last full length, "XENO". Their is also the fact that the album is too electronic heavy, Even as someone who enjoys their electrocore it did not mesh well here and really felt like it overtook everything. It is the opposite problem of "Apocalize" (which had too little of it) The bass is not really present here and the new mix of "Wipeout" is not very good. One positive is to hear Kenta's Gutturals here, they are pretty sick, and the "Faint" cover is actually pretty great. Sadly, overall this is rather lackluster effort and on paper a crossfaith concept album should really work well, they do have the sound for it, it just was not executed well here
Deerhunter Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?
YAWN
Destroyer Have We Met
I am sorry, I just found this to be obnoxious and rather annoying
Disturbed Believe
Aside from "Prayer", "Liberate", and "Darkness" this album is dull, boring, and Vinella.
Disturbed Evolution
Why the hell did I ever give this a 5? this is just trying to re-create "the sound of silence" cover for 43 minutes straight. their are some decent cuts here, but most of it is nitequil. (at least we get some energy near the end with "the best ones lie")
Dream Wife So When You Gonna...
the instrumentals are decent, and the closer is solid, but the lyrics, melodies, and vocals are just terrible. The backing vocals are trying way too hard to be "cute but angry"
Duran Duran Thank You
HOLY CHEESE BATMAN! This Totally sounds like it is apart of the "TMNT II: Secret of the ooze" soundtrack.
EDEN no future
this was a boring listen, on the bright side ill slept better during the night I heard this
Elvis Presley Kissin' Cousins
well aside from a few terrible songs, the rest of it is just boring
Elvis Presley Girl Happy
just recycled and lesser quality songs that you have heard before from Elvis
Elvis Presley Harum Scarum
another recycled album of his for a movie that has nothing worth talking about...yay
Elvis Presley Frankie And Johnny OST
Elvis goes to Broadway..with underwhelming results
Elvis Presley Double Trouble
some of these soundtrack albums of his are getting tiresome...
Eminem Music To Be Murdered By
There are some bangers on this album. but this album drags on for too long and there is a great amount of filler that drags the album down and makes it a bit of a slog to get through
Family Force 5 El Compadre
Just retire already, the writing is on the wall...oh wait this band is blind
FIDLAR Almost Free
this could of (almost) been good
From Ashes To New Panic
from ashes for new for better or worse continue their linkin park worship, and on their third album, its worship of "minutes to midnight". The title track is a good song, like really (never thought i would say that about an From Ashes To New Song) however the rest of the album...falls flat. their are some really weak and minimal effort hooks here. their is not much to offer outside of them being a glorified linkin park tribute band. However i can see the appel of this and it is not even the worst nu-metal out in 2020 right now
GHOSTEMANE Opium
acusticmane is boring
Glass Animals Dreamland
i was just here for denzel curry, should of left after denzel curry
Hollywood Vampires Rise
Johnny Depp and Co. Doing drunk Karaoke for 70 minutes
Hoobastank The Reason
"I aM nOt A pErFeCt PeRsOn" also having an Ian feature is just all kinds of cursed
In This Moment Ritual
I get they were going for a western feel, but this was pretty.boring. This is just the kind of generic rock that play's in the background on edgy Netflix originals. "black wedding" is pretty good though at least
John Legend Bigger Love
I mean there were some good moments here, and I did enjoy the closing track, but the constant use of regatone is a yikes from me.
Kid Rock Devil Without a Cause
you know the ad that has been shared around about a band who wants to be a conservative version of Rage Against The machine..well i think they were too ashamed to say "Kid rock cover band" as this is what that would soundlike.
Kittie Spit
One thing i will give some positivity about is you can tell that these girls were rather passionate and one could argue they broke ground for woman in metal, however this debut is rather poorly played. the ballads are a misfire and the screams on this album are not got at all, sounds more like karaoke. the instrumentation is decent but in the end, i really really wanted to like this album after everything i have heard about this group but i just cannot say i enjoyed this album, sorry. But i really do appreciate the effort
Korn The Path of Totality
Combining dubstep and Metal is not a bad idea, but aside from the admiralty excellent "Narcissistic cannibal" and the solid "Get Up" and "Tension" this is a rather lazy tame effort. for the dubstep-metal combo done right, check out Crossfaithrhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg9sCRzbvHY
Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
There were some good highlights here, but man does this album get sam-ey and go on for far too large.
Loathe (UK) The Things They Believe
What is with the trend of metalcore bands (or rather metal associated artists) doing bad ambient albums. Have we not suffered enough with music to listen to and screeeeeeeeem (or what ever that poppy one was called) this is not as bad as those albums but still...
Megan Thee Stallion Suga
you know, this EP is quite a letdown after the mix tape from last year
NNAMDI LIL' DICK NIGGAS DRINK CAMPBELL'S SOUP
would this be considered Nintendocore? Well, It does feel like NNAMDI is trying too hard to be over the top to be weird, to cover up the fact over half the album is just chicken noodle soup commercials.
Oasis Standing on the Shoulder of Giants
overly pretentious
Of Mice and Men Cold World
combining lazy metalcore and lazy nu metal led by a piece of s*** frontman, with your powers combined I am Captain Mediocrity
Papa Roach Who Do You Trust?
Not you, a D-Teir nu metal band that got bit by the imagine dragon
Portugal. The Man Evil Friends
Pretty forgettable and rather boring. I am having a hard time seeing why this is as highly regarded as it is.
Scott Stapp The Space Between The Shadows
It is scott stapp, do you really have high expectations for this?
Soen Imperial
I did not know that the "evolution" album by disturbed counted as progressive metal, good to know
Spoon Hot Thoughts
Well I know I am in the minority on this, so I am sorry but I personally found this to be rather boring.
Stabbing Westward Dead & Gone
talk about being washed up
Staind Break The Cycle
Aaron Lewis does not care about making something good, and will I not about his album. feel bad for the rest of the band though.
Stone Temple Pilots Perdida
this was a slight slog to get through as well as a rather bland album. I have no problem when a band changes their sound and wants to experiment but...this does not feel like going in a bold direction, just feels like being lazy
Story of the Year In The Wake Of Determination
Sublime 40 Oz. to Freedom
the only song here worth hearing is "Date Rape"
Taylor Swift Reputation
This was rather underwhelming, I don't have an Issue when a pop star goes through a bad girl/bad boy phase. But this album was rather boring. the production is not very good and their are some fart synths on several tracks. This is also her weakest album from a lyric standpoint too.
Thank You Scientist Terraformer
This album is way too bloated and full of itself. and these songs do not need to be as long as they are. seriously, the songs in the second half could have been cut in half. It just trots on because "it's prog. the songs have to be long" well it does not work here, not one bit.Seriously second half of this album is a slogfest
The Amity Affliction Everyone Loves You... Once You Leave Them
Ladies and gents..we have our first bland, vanilla, by the numbers metalcore album of the year
The Chainsmokers Memories...Do Not Open
this is one of the most unmemorable albums to have been spammed on hot100 radio in the last decade. at least the back half of this album was kinda nice?
The Doors Full Circle
Post Morrison Doors did the best album they could, but this should not exist.
the GazettE Hankou Seimeibun
there is a reason this EP is forgotten in their catalog, the production overall is bad even by Pre-disorder GazettE standards(minus "Kore de Yokattan Desu..." ). First half is forgettable and the second half starts really bad with "THE MURDER'S TV" where Ruki sings with the most cringe inducing and forced performance in arguably the whole GazettE catalog.One positive i can give is the guitar work on "Kore de Yokattan Desu..."
The Shaggs Philosophy of the World
Is this objectively terrible? yes, but there is something just enjoyable about it. I think that this album prooves how pretensions a lot of people are. By the logic of the reasoning as to why publications like pitchfork gave this such high scores (with some snobby BS about the essence of art) every single audio recording of infants with 'Fisher- Price' music sets should go down as the greatest auditory achievements mankind has ever done. You can say you have a guilty pleasure, no need to hide it by making up nonsense to convince yourself its good
The Streets None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive
This was just way too corny, and it is hard to tell if he is being tongue in cheek or serious
The Struts Young & Dangerous
wanna hear a joke? these guys think they are the next Queen
The Wombats Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life
Bland, with a capital B.
Thousand Foot Krutch Exhale
The First 2 songs are great, and "Lifeline" is a great cut, but the rest of the album is bland and sub par, but at least it has much more of a bite of it then "Oxygen", I would take this over "Oxygen" any day of the way, truth be told. It is still not good album by any means, and some of this album has some of the more cringe worthy moments of past albums like "Phenomenon" for example show up front and center.
Three Days Grace Life Starts Now
Yet another formulaic radio rock album.
Three Days Grace Three Days Grace
Overrated debut album from an overrated band
Vanilla Ice Hard to Swallow
A neopolitan blend of 90s cheese, 90s edge, and Ice Ice baby
Weezer The Black Album
not sure this was a good choice for my first weezer album, but it was a 2019 release when i was doing my 2019 disog. run so....

1.5 very poor
(hed) p.e. Only In Amerika
just because you can be as offensive as possible does not mean you are any good. Also pedo nu-Metal? hard pass
21 Savage Savage Mode II
21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 (yeah i have a lot of problems with this album, from headscartching rhymes to rather dull beats. At least morgen freemen and the second to last track were cool though)
5 Seconds of Summer Calm
Bleh, generic pop-rock ahoy! only somehow lower tier then that
50 Cent Get Rich or Die Tryin'
Does 50 cent sound board or like he is about to fall asleep to anyone else? "Go shawty it's ya birthday" collapses
6ix9ine TattleTales
yes this sucks, it is horribly produced and more nurtured then a domestic pet. you know how artists in the past that were shocking in the past are trying to be shocking but it come off more like their being out of touch, that is what going on with 6ix9ine, his own whole thing has always pissing everyone off and relying on a Nicki Minaj feature to get him #1 on the hot 100 because mikki stans will do anything to support their queen (this goes for any artist on twitter with a significant following to be a fair), does not matter if they are a Ephebophile or not. also reggotone sucks and will never be a thing, stop trying to make it a thing, i swear it is the new crunkcore. anyways alot 6ix9ine attempts to song vulnerable and it is about as fake as his tough guy act. The autotune on the song where they try to make it sound like he is talking on the telephone is so bad. zillakami is what made him relevant in the first place, and mark my words he will fall into obscurity, in 5 years perhaps even less, a forgotten relic of the late 2010s.this is not even bad enough to be a worst AOTY contender, "tattletales" is an mild inconvenience, not a life threatening disease. Folks this is a clear example why solely relaying on controversy without much thought in the art itself will kill your career.
After the Burial Evergreen
the first track ("Behold the crown")is great, the rest of the album, however, is s subpar, bland, and rather boring. the first track is the only song I would say to listen to, the rest of this is a no go.
AJR Living Room
I mean, i can say it was not AS HORRENDOUS as their next 2 studio albums, but my god does this band make a case for giving everything they put out a 1. I think just the fact that its not AS BAD as its next 2 albums goes to show anyone reading this that AJR has not "High points" only low points, and then somehow going lower.
Black Sabbath Forbidden
just when I thought the band found there stride... aside from the odd cash in on trying to make another DMC "walk this way" for the opening track, the rest of the album is nothing but filler. the one prop I can give this though is that the drumming on this one is fantastic, and is the sole reason this does not get a 1 from me.
Bolt Upright Red Carpet Syndrome
Me:"hey mom can we have Limp Bizkit" Mom:"no we have Limp Bizkit at home" Limp bizkit at home
Bring Me The Horizon Music to Listen to...
An album made from the scraps of what did not make "amo" so do we just call this "Amo Cut up"? This really i not something that can have several listens, the only 3 songs worth checking out are "A Devastating Liberation", "?" If you wanted to hear the OG version of "In The Dark", and "Underground big" if you like Rap and 10 seconds of metal in your AMSR session
BUCK-TICK ABRACADABRA
Ummmm... hope the title of this album is apart of a magic trick to make this album disappear. This album can be summed up in one word: boredom. There is not really anything to can reflect upon positively everything here sounds like other but better goth dark-synth albums. One of the most dissapointing albums of 2020
Coal Chamber Coal Chamber
Alright their is no denying that "Loco" is a great song, yes it only has six lines of lyrics, but the song is such a fun bop...however the rest of this album is really bad. like this album may have been the blueprint for all the other bad nu-metal bands to copy the formula of doing the bare miniumum to get angsty frat boys to chest pump in the late 90s. one bright spot on this album is the bass,but it does not help that the album after "Loco" is the same song copy and paste for 13 tracks.
Cokie The Clown You're Welcome
the lyrics on this album are soo bad, its painful MAKE IT STOP!
Crown the Empire 07102010
this is acoustic album just feels like an excuse to make bad pop music of their songs. So now you get to hear your "2DEEPSADME" Metalcore songs with the same amount of genuine singing as Emma Watson in beauty and The Beast
DaBaby BLAME IT ON BABY
STOP TRYING TO SING, YOU CANNOT FREAKING SING! and the rapping is not much better...
Damn Yankees Damn Yankees
Pedo Dad-Rock sucks.
Drake Bell Ready Steady Go!
Sounds just Like a Karaoke session with some B - sides from the Hairspray musical reboot, and nickelodeon exects.who don't know how to write swearing in music
Eleventyseven Basic Glitches
When a irrelevant ex-christian band things they can just replace religious wording with profanity and suddenly it will make them good you have "Basic Glitches". It does not change all your crappy and forced pop-culture references that make little to no sense. their is some rather bad EDM here, and some of the more decent melodys here are a straight up ripoffs. Eleventyseven, you were irrelevant as a christian band in that clique (which is really sad when you consider some of the bands we let get populer), and now your irrelevant as you try to pull the Underoath shift. this title fits perfectly as the album is more basic then medicordy and a glitch because it was a mistake.

G-Eazy Everything's Strange Here
hey kids, what do you get when you mix boring indie with boring hip hop, background music that even makes the background fall asleep.
Halsey Manic
Despite a decent start, the album goes on a decline to mediocrity that makes this release very tedious to get through.
Hands Like Houses Dissonants
I was not really following them so I cannot vouch for this being a disappointmen llike everyone else's sound off here seems to say, but yeah to put it lightly this is a rather lackluster post-hardcore output.
Hollywood Undead Swan Songs
2008 edge lords do Linkin Park karaoke.
Hollywood Undead New Empire Vol. 2
With part 1, I was impressed to see how they actually matured it felt like a band going in the right direction, and then they pull this... There is no way nice to say it this is absolutely horrid. These Rap verses are so predictable, corny, and outright baffling bad that it makes Thousand Foot Krutch look like Kendrick Lamar. Like it gets "Anderson. pack 2016 Freshmen XXL freestyle cipher bad". There is even a track that not so blatantly rips of Macolmore of all people. The musical side is the band chasing the current arena rock trend which like everything else in the trend, does not sound distinct at all, it's just another group playing follow the leader. There are 2 reasons this is not getting a 1. first is this is not worse than their debut album ( I would say they are about the same) and second, their is alot of nu-metal that is still much worse. make no mistake avoid this like the landmines they rap about.
In This Moment Mother
"The in-between" is actually a really great song that might be the sole reason this album does not make my worst of 2020 list. The more I think about this album, the more frustrated I am by this. WHO ASKED FOR THIS ALBUM? ITM said it would be their heaviest album in a while but it is their Second softest one only behind "The Dream". Maria's performance for most of the album is contained. The instrumentation is subpar at best, the features are not very good (minus we will rock you cover, which has so much wasted potential.) Take the opening song "fly like an eagle" copy and paste for 11 songs and you get this album. Why does this album have an interlude right AFTER the intro song! YOU COULD HAVE HAD IT AS THE INTRO FOR "THE IN-BETWEEN" WHAT IS THIS LINKIN PARK'S "A THOUSAND SUNS"!. I do not have a problem with interludes on an album, what I do have a problem with is having an intro, having an opening track, AND THEN DOING ANOTHER INTERLUDE. Lets not even get into the lyrics on this album which for the most part makes no sense, you have a better chance understanding a pothead on LSD. if you want Heavy ITM goes listen to "beautiful Tragedy" or "Starcrossed wasteland". If you want more "Ritual" then just listen to fucking "Ritual" or "black widow". IF you want more industrial electronics, listen to "Blood". This album is In This Death Punch. Complete bad covers. If this album is their "got your Six" then I am terrified when we get their "and justice for none.." next.

oh man, we have "everybody"(the logic album) 2.0.

Ironic title considering how stagnant, complacent, and vanilla this album is. could have been worse though
Korn [untitled]
Johnathan Davis Bitching about Brian "Head" Welsh leaving the band for around 50 minutes: The Album. this album has also not aged well now that he rejoined Korn in 2013
Korn Korn III: Remember Who You Are
"WhY dOnT yOu LeAvE mE aLoNE" is such a unintentional parody of the genre. Ironically Korn III's biggest crime is how unmemorable it is. in fact this is a Korn album i bet a lot of people forgot even existed and for good reason. Korn here sound as washed up as the producer of the album
Lady Gaga Artpop
"ArtPop" is pop, but it is in no way artsy. the last album had more creative variety then this one. It really blends together and gets really tedious to get through, even the singles for this album were not very good. "Swine" is the only song worth checking out here
Lifer Lifer
yeah this is at best a forgotten relic that should be left in obscurity
Limp Bizkit Results May Vary
while not as bad as everyone says it is, this is still bad, it is rather boring and falls into the LB problem of being wayy too long. also that columbine line makes this album even less likable
Logic Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Logic is a biracial rapper. you may think that info is unnecessary, but that's all logic wants you to know during this albums runtime (and a really roundabout way of coming out of the closet by saying he would suck a D* to prove he is not homophobic.) also what's even sadder is that, is he used his dad as a feature where he talks about how biracial his D* is.
Machine Gun Kelly Tickets to My Downfall
what is with the trend of rappers making terrible pop-punk albums? at least this one was somewhat competent instrumentally
Massive Attack Eutopia
oh, this is just a political PSA with boring and bland beats behind it. It litterally felt like I sat through a 10-minute campaign ad in audio form
Meghan Trainor Treat Myself
This may be her best album. but It is still rather horrible
Motionless In White Reincarnate
These hacks plagiarized Family Force 5 of all bands (if you do not believe me, skip to 2:08 in "Contempress" in this album, and then to 0:48 in Family Force 5s "The first time"), they also plagiarize Breaking benjermens "I Will not bow" on this album too. this is Hot topic edge. that acts like its all dark and hip and mysterious when they had to take notes from the hyperactive Christian kid sitting next to him. HARD PASS
Mushroomhead A Wonderful Life
Nu metal with an orchestral flare, on paper this should be my thing. on paper, I should be giving this a 5. But this really does feel like a band with no life just trotting on in limbo. new member Jaxie has some nice moments, but she is barely on the album, just a glorified feature. I can understand why the fans are not responding well to this. I will do a dialog. run of them in the near future, and my rating could drop further as this is just the perspective of someone who only knew a few singles from them before going into this release. the orchestral tracks were the best, along with the bread boy's inspired "THe Heresy"
Nickelback No Fixed Address
who asked for Nickelback to do disco?
Okilly Dokilly Howdilly Twodilly
oh jeez the growls on this album sound terrible. and the snare is mixed poorly

Ugh just what in the hell is this? Someone call an exterminator
Poppy Music to Scream To
There are some elements on the last track that I will admit that I did like, but hot damn was this album outright painful for me to get through. I never thought an album would make me look at "Underground Big" fondly but here we are.
Red (USA) Release the Panic
when a band releases a redux version of the album as an apology not even a year after the album came out, it's never a good sign of the quality of the album. The poor mix does not help, and this album has the effect of getting worse and worse on every re-listen
Red (USA) Release the Panic: Recalibrated
While I do appreciate the sentiment of this apology, its still not very good "Glass house" is the only good one here. The mixing here is rather poor and the string additions range from barley audible to unnecessary. I guess release the panic is an unsalvigable record
Sam Hunt Southside
This is basically just pop music for rednecks and people who chew tobacco
Screaming Lord Sutch Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends
It does have a decent start if I am going to be truthful, however it goes on a downward spiral of wasted potential. Near the halfway point, it just gets a little daunting to finish, the performances here feel so phoned in too
Seether Disclaimer II
the best song here was the subpar track from the Daredevil soundtrack, this is just a formulaic Korn knockoff.

These Hearts Forever Ended Yesterday
talk about regretting the past, I have to admit this is an old shame of mine, back during my freshmen days when I was a sheltered Christian kid I ironically bopped to this and thought it was the hardest sh*t because of CHUG CHUG CHUG. Looking back, this album is a near-complete trainwreck, the instrumental is worse than subpar and the vocals sound like someone was holding the singer by the balls the whole time. What the hell was I thinking when I thought "Apology Rejected" was so badass? Anyways I still can listen to "She would like to wear the pants, but she can't fit into mine" as the song has a rather nice charm to it and I am a fan of the lyrics of it, "live to the point of tears" is also another song that I think is one of the better ones on the lyric department (but damn the lead and backing vocals are terrible). but other then that, this album is a massive and I mean MASSIVE avoid. I wonder if this is what BMTH and old TDWP sounds like to the elitists of the site (and in general) who are all "MeTaLcOrE bAd"
Thousand Foot Krutch Phenomenon
it's better than "set it off" but that is not saying that much. the only reason my score is not lower... I have too much nostalgia with this album to be harsher then I should be.
Thousand Foot Krutch Oxygen: Inhale
The first 2 songs are pretty decent but after that it goes downhill. "Born this way" has lyrics so bad you would swear Family Force 5 have a writing credit on it. "Set Me On Fire"is a coldplay knockoff. several songs on here sound more like FM Static and not TFK like "I see red" and more notably, "In my Room". "Light Up" sees them trying and failing to copy Taylor Swift. Let's be real, this is not a rock album, its a pop album with 3 rock songs that happen to be in it. That would not be a bad thing, if it was not for the fact the only interesting song on that front is "Oxygen". Did you ever wonder what TFK would sound like if they watered down "Flame In All Of Us?" (an already mediocre album) then this is the album for you.
Three Days Grace Transit of Venus
umm, its another 3DG album, and it is a lackluster swan song for Adam

93Punx 93Punx
this album is a glorious tire fire of what not to do with songwriting 101. everything about this album is a mess and its unintentional entertainment. it's like Tommy Waisau himself made a punk album.
AB HIMOTHY
Oh jeez, just when you thought another former Pittsburgh Steeler player could make music worse than le'veon antonio brown comes along. AB has no rap talent he has no grasp on how to make any sort of melody, flow is nonexistent and he cannot even grasp on the basic concept of writing 2 verses that are at the very least subpar. This is an album of utter incompetence relying on skirts and the letter A every other word. this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f ayy this albums sucks ayy what the f** ayy

I would rather walk on legos for 100 days then hear this again
AJR The Click
every time i hear "Sober up" i consider the choice to become an alcoholic
Asking Alexandria The Black
one way to make a notably terrible album is to make it irrelevant 6 months after release, by completely dropping any songs from the album from the live setlist after that 6 month time, by bringing back the same vocalist your trash on the whole runtime on the album. but at least the cover art is good?
Asking Alexandria Like a House on Fire
Here we Have Asking Alexandria, most known for being an at best D-teir Metalcore band try their hand at following in the direction and theme of Bring Me The Horizon's "That's the spirit" (5 years too late) but if those themes were done very poorly in trying so hard to be edgy and nihilist but also being so shallow on mental health. The album is a combination of Walmart country (nearing on the bro variety), WWEcore, retro-style Indie rock. But, i feel this description might be too nice..Asking Alexandra, see you in my worst of 2020 next year!
Attila Villain
Attilas fratboy gimmick wore off albums ago as the band continues to beat a dead horse
Behold... The Arctopus Hapeleptic Overtrove
sounds like a recording from a jam session where the whole band was off, and what the hell is with that cowbell, jeez. At best this is a jazz improvision gone wrong and worst it's..a jazz improvision gone wrong. Calling it now some of the more snobby folks are gonna give this 4s and higher under the guise of "ItS AvAnT gArDe" and write a meant-to-be-taken-serious-essay about why the cowbell is the most essential instrument that needs to be used in metal.
Blood on the Dance Floor Cinema Erotica
I need bleach, therapy, and holy water after hearing davhine climaxing
Blood on the Dance Floor Scissors
this might be the worst album on the whole site due to it having the most 1s out of any album i have seen, and it deserves this, in fact every BOTDF album deserves it
Blood on the Dance Floor Hollywood Death Star
the worst and lazy swan song of all time to a pathetic musical career.
Blood on the Dance Floor Haunted
I really wish i could give everything this band ever put out a 0.5
Blueface Find the Beat
Holy hell this was abysmal, the production was awful and is grainy. This sounds like a very lowgrade SoundCloud rap album. No, This sounds like discount Soulja Boy, and who the hell asked for diet Soulja boy in 2020? lets not even go to how way off blue faces flows are on every beat. the features are not any better either.

Chris Brown Heartbreak on a Full Moon
The only heartbreak here is the fact is the fact I chose to listen to Chris Brown
Chris Brown and Young Thug Slime and B
Thank god it is not yet another 3 hours long Chris Brown album. but yeah this is still very much a very, very hard pass. just because it is shorter horrendous R&B Smut does not win it any brownie points in my book
Cold 13 Ways to Bleed On Stage
and the award most mind-numbingly boring nu-metal album goes too...
Crazy Town The Gift Of Game
this is where Nu-Metal reached a new low that would plague the radio for years to come with everyone doing the bare minimum on a whole album, and writing a glorified pop song for the 'big hit'. Even the one hit song from here is so terrible, yes i said it "Butterfly" sucks, big time. their is little flow on much of the rapping here behind some of the most barebone basic chords present. Coal chamber may have made the blueprint in laziness in the genre, but Crazy Town Perfected it. I blame this album for giving bands like Trapt and Saliva a big hit on the radio. You know we live on a bad timeline when THIS is the band that got any sort of popularity while Nothingface got no recognition. and yes, this album is so bad that rather then going "listen to this, its so bad lol" i am gonna say, go listen to Nothingface instead, they deserve your attention way more then these 2 garbage ass hacks. This album is the reason people hate nu-metal, even with durst at his worst sounds better then these two. (yes i just said 'results may vary' is better then this album)
Crazy Town The Brimstone Sluggers
yes from an instrumental point, it is fun even though it is dated. so you may be wondering why i am slapping this with a 1. well that is when i bring up THE LYRICS! oh where to I even begin, most of this some of the worst edge stuff written by 40 year olds trying to sound 18 like "Bruh i wanna kill myself, wanna join my gang we super lit fam *DABBING AND FLOSSING INTENSIFIES" so many lyrics on her are tasteless and really boil under my skin, the line about robin williums, who recently took his life at the time of this album, the "we are trying to sound badass" line about wanting to start a shooting like the one that happened at my HS, and so many other moments really pissed me off. This might seriously be one of the worst albums ever written by a lyrical standpoint, and giving this band's catalog before hand that is saying alot. yes this makes the lyric writing of "Butterfly" looks like Relient K's "Deathbed" in comparison
Danzig Skeletons
"I........was.......BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH"
Danzig Danzig Sings Elvis
As someone who has listened to nearly all of the catalog of Elvis (i am just missing a few compilation albums), this album is absolute heresy. It's worse than giving an album to the drunk guy at the bar who got kicked out on karaoke night, who then decided to get some studio time because he was that impressed with himself. If this is the first impression someone had heard of Elvis they would assume that the 50s and 70s had very low standards for music and that rock was dead before it was born. also how your recording quality gonna be worse than something 50 years old, because the mixing is abysmal, from just a production standpoint this is easily a top 3 for worst albums of 2020. There was not even anything to meme here like with "Skeletons", this is as horrendous to sit through as it is to listen to. this is "Elvis greatest Sh*t: volume 2 Electric boogaloo washed up covers version"
Dead by April Incomparable
"I see a lot of metalcore as boldly as being a boy band" ~mike from The Devil Wears Prada. That quote will tell you everything you need to know about the quality of this album
DJ Khaled Father of Asahd
Partway through song 4 I just started to count "WE DE BEST MUSIC", "DJ KHALED" and "ANOTHA ONE" here were the results: WE DE BEST MUSIC counter 23 ANOTHA ONE counter 18 DJ KHALID counter 24
Drowning Pool Hellelujah
I have nothing but apathy for this album, fill of static generic "heavy" Alt. metal riffs with a bass missing from the mix, with a terrible singer doing a horrible static-X impression. That is not going into the worst part of the album the lyrics. This is just edgy bullshit "LeT mE LiVe WiTh A FuCk To GiVe" that loves to thing suicide and self-harm are so cool to the point where most of this album glorifies it. Their is also an anti religion-song here that is as well written as the horrid grammar in the song, and when the album is not going "I love shooting my self, suicide is hot" drowning pool are throwing in trying to be satanists for extra EDGE. Every single chorus here is poorly written chocked full of nonsensical edge. This album was an endurance test to get through, with every minute passing hating this album even more. This album is spit in the face of everyone who is battling depression and a piss on the grave on everyone who has ever taken their life. DROWNING POOL, SCREW YOU!!!
Elvis Presley Having Fun with Elvis on Stage
I mean, this might be the first On-stage banter compilation well before the days of you tube, with that being said, it is a disjointed mess that is more confusing then anything, and very clearly a cash grab by the record label (one of the the things RCA is notorious for doing with Elvis, much to his displeasure)
Elvis Presley Elvis' Greatest Shit
Alright we all know why this bootleg was made and why it lives in infamy, made to show the low lights of his career. On that front it is a 5/5. To achieve this, we get predominately outtakes and Songs from his soundtracks (which are at best, mediocre or decent) which already has a reputation of being rather lowly, even hated by Elvis himself (for every "i can't stop falling in love with you" there will be an "Ito eats", "He's your uncle not your dad", and "Confidence") Their is also the fact that we get some from "Having fun on stage", aka the most cash grab album to end all cashgabs here. This basically what Doug Walker's "The Wall" would be if it came out in the 80s. I guess giving this 1 might be a bit of a complement to the bootleggers intent but it deserves it.

Holy crap this is like...AJR with some of the worst rapping you will hear(and an occasional Lil John impersonation)...even by Christian song standards, and a second-half loaded with generic Christian contemporary BS that has not stopped being played to death since 2011. and these electronics are terrible. the guitar is just awful too. not a single redeemable or remotely "decent" thing I can say about this album

The beats/synths are generic reality tv stock sounds and the autotuned vocals...oh my god where do I even begin, they do not even have the decency to sync up her "singing" with the beat. this is why we should stop giving attention to reality-tv trash, what good has ever come out of it? this is an album that should not be referred to as music but as "Music"
FM Static What Are You Waiting For?
Only FM static could compete with themselves for the worst pop-punk album of all time.

This is "Ok Boomer: The Album". now I am just adding more so I meet the sound off requirement.
Issues Issues
who knew one of the Jones Brothers was the singer for a nu-metal/metalcore band lol. but yeah this album is just really really bad, i do not even see how metalcore kids or nu-metal fans would enjoy this
Jesu Never
This is outright annoying, and very repetiive with the same loops over and over and over and over again, start menus screen music on DVDs have more viraity on this. This is both very lazy and at the same time trying way too hard to be artsy. You know how to sum up this album? "For you, for you,For you, for you For you, for you For you, for you For you, for you" those are pretty much all of the lyrics minus the ones which don't know if they want to be sung or spoken word. What an absolutly dreadful EP
Kesha Animal
oh jeez, this is just one drunken mess of pop album, everything from the beats to Ke$has vocal performance.
Kevin Federline Playing with Fire
This dude thinks he is so badass and acts like he is Eminem, and he cannot rap for sht, no he literally cannot rap or write lyrics for sht, constantly "rhyming" the same word for whole verses "I'm loony, all these model chicks wanna do me Tabloids tried to screw me, magazines do me" and some lyrics so bad, that is is very discouraging they have not caught on as memes, such as this... "She calls me daddy, but she's not my daughter, And I'm not her father, I'm just the mack" was he over-explaining because he thought some people would take it as incest? we will never know the truth behind such a radical hip hop masterpiece.
King 810 Suicide King
this is "The room" of nu-metal if we can even call this nu-metal. this is just mostly southern rock with a trap drum machine while David pleasures himself by talking about the Guns found in the latest hunter magazine catalog
KISS Rock And Roll Over
their was a reason part of this was recorded in the bathroom
Kongos 1929. Part 1
this is boring, and i am going to take this time to say part 2 is so boring I am not even gonna bother adding 'part 2' to give a 1.
Lie Or Liar LIE OR LIAR
A glorious miscalculation of the genre's tropes results in "The Room" of metalcore, also the lyrics i wrote when i was 12> this
Limp Bizkit New Old Songs
oh geez this was just abysmal,all the remixes sucked. and all sound horribly dated to. Also WHO ASKED FOR 5 REMIXES OF "MY WAY" as you hear the same song THREE TIMES to end this album, their is not much distinction between the remixes here and they all sound the same. I WOULD TAKE HEARING RESULTS MAY VERY ANYTIME OF THE WEEK, and that is saying something
Logic Everybody
this album honestly is as bad as chance the rappers "the big day". this album is a slog and tedious. which features some really hypocritical moments, like having a song where he tells someone to go themselves right next to one of the worst anti-suicide rap songs I have ever heard. this album at several points also completely rips off "DAMN" By Kendric Lamar
Logic Supermarket (Soundtrack)
somehow a failed rock crossover album from a terrible rapper that's one of the worst albums of the 2010s is NOT the worst logic album of 2019, huh?
Lou Reed and Metallica Lulu
well aside from the memes the biggest issue here is the bland instrumentation, it is like trying to get your drunk uncle's 80's heavy metal cover band to improvise a prog. song, and it just comes off as rather boring and tedious. the project overall feels disjointed as it seems both party's had a different direction they were gonna take it in...also Serj Table and Headfeild table mashup plz make it happen.
Methods of Mayhem Methods of Mayhem
pretty sure this album is a DJ khaled album if it came out in the late 90s, all these features with below bare minimum effort. imma throw this in my "Reasons Motley Crue are overrated hacks"
Motley Crue Saints Of Los Angeles
I hate this band, and the fact they bragged about raping unconscious women during the title track is just all kinds of messed up. and by the way, said song opens with the lord's prayer!rby the way, the album is supposed to be a companion piece to their autobiography book, the dirt, so yeah...makes things much worse. and even with glam metal, this band was NEVER that good. Screw this band!
Nav (CAN) Bad Habits
Nav is just D-teir Drake.
Nav (CAN) Good Intentions
the song "extra" is a prime example of how bad this album is, terrible rhyme (or not rhymes) thought and really dumb ass and cringe inducing lines such as "Said she want a threesome, when she sexual, she bi", also "Said she never sucked a dick before, I made her try it" bruh I am pretty sure that is Sexual assault
Nine Lashes World We View
terrible by the numbers Christian Alt-metal ahoy! they completely waste Ryan's Clarks feature was the only good part of this album, and even then the instrumentation falls flat there too.
No One No One
A James Headfield impersonator attempts nu-metal and with instrumentals that are basically royalty free, that goes as well as you thoght
Nostalgia Critic The Wall
This is a "Parody" album that spits on the original album while at the same time ironically building up the walls of the disillusionment of its creator.

Otep Kult 45
The fact she needs fans to stroke her ego on a 30 minute track alone warrants this a 0/5. Holy sh*t is this album bad
P.O.D. When Angels and Serpents Dance
This was the first album that i ever hated, to the point where not a single song i would play again after my first listen. Seeing how I was a sheltered christian kid, that is saying alot
P.O.D. Snuff the Punk
this anti-abortion ad is brought to you by funk metal with worse production then St. anger (seriously this album gives me a massive headache)
Palaye Royale The Bastards
The vocalist sounds like how he is trying to emulate Trent from NIN on a lot of the tracks, the guitars are just goes have one trick and that is being granny. the best i can say about this album is that some parts resemble BMTH's "That's the Spirt". This album was really monotonous and soulless. This is one of the low lights in music this year. this band is "emo AJR" complete with trying to pander to a demographic and being so tone depth it would be like middle aged people going around to this demographic and ironically saying the likes of "RAWR XD". the mental health angle here is just so self absorbed and only there to hone in on their demographic. the fact they are cashing in on "Mental health" in the "look kids, we are suicidal too" really makes this album boil under my skin. with everything going on in this year, last thing we needed were some rich boys to write about how they hate life after listening to MCR once.

Psycho Synner Torch The Faith
Forgive me father for I have sinned by hearing this. This is what a high school incel would write and think qualifies as sexy lyrics. Everything's so uncomfortable that it would make bands like Steel Panther turn into devout monks to atone for their sin of being in the same style (cock rock) as Psychosexual. It's hard to have instrumentation fail so miserably at sounding uninspiredly bland. Pitch correction effect to sound 'demonic' is terrible and is one of many mixing issues (one case where someone IS hiding behind audio effects because they can't sing for squat). Chorus's on this album are so lazy of any effort, to the point where every alt. rock band currently putting out moderate hits could sue for copyright. Speaking of, repeating the title of a song over and over again does not make your chorus automatically good. This is proof why fanfiction was a mistake because now we got horny Wannabee Ghost with their sexually assaulting woman fetish (and apparently giving internal and external 1st-degree burns too). On that topic, Devil Daddy just screams "Self insert OC". This is the "MY IMMORTAL" of metal in every possible way. This will not go away, oh no, I am calling it now it is going to have a cult following based on its putrid awfulness. It will be something to be heard out of the morbid curiosity of "it can't be that bad? can it" and then they will laugh, they will cry and they will stare in utter disbelief losing their faith in humanity knowing they live in the same universe where "torch the faith" was able to exist.

let be real, was Puddle of Mudd EVER good? of course, the answer is a resounding no
Puddle of Mudd Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love and Hate
this whole album is a slog to get through, the only enjoyable moment, is the so bad its good "Hooky" if giving 0s were an option, this album would get it from me
Reach 454 Reach 454
you know an album is really awful when you feels like you have already trudged through the whole thing,with every singe groan worthy problem that shows up, and its like an ant infestation, one right after the other...they just keep coming. only to find out your only halfway through the album...
Seether Disclaimer
Why did seether even get popular in the first place?
Six Feet Under Nightmares of the Decomposed
this is one of the most glorious things I have ever heard, during this 45-minute session I was enlightened by the mantra. an idea and a thesis, one that shook open the confines of my mind, awakening a revelation I had never known before, Dead Girls do indeed not scream. Nothing in music, let alone metal could ever be as masterful or tastefully written. This is all portrayed beautifully and majestically by a heartfelt and intense performance by the cookie monster sponsored by the letter of the day, the letter "E".
Soundtrack (Film) Alvin and The Chipmunks
INTENSE PTSD AND SELF HATING FROM LIKING THIS AS A KID INTENSIFY'S
Soundtrack (Film) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
this was a lifeless void, no one wanted to be involved in the project and it shows with everyone doing under the bare minimum. Everyone has since wanted to distance themselves from this as much as possible and I do not blame them. The only semi-decent cover is Aerosmith's "come together" but that is a song so easy to cover decently you have to TRY to mess up. This has nothing to do with being anti-disco (what the harsh comments of this album usually boil down to) but with this level of reluctance in an obvious cash grab, it would fail badly in any genre you try to do this in. Sucide Squad and Daredevil soundtracks, all is forgiven
The 1975 Notes on a Conditional Form
Right from the intro, We all knew this is going to be pretentious as hell. When you try to use 'homosapians' in your generic 'Save The Earth" speech to sound smart, that is already a massive flag. I heard some mixed feelings on this album, and honestly...even with some of the most negative thoughts of on this I did not think it would be THIS BAD (seriously, this will probably make my Worst albums of 2020 list). this is has got to be the most pretentious and 'fake-deep' pop album of 2020. "BuT tHe AlBuM iS sO dIVeRsE, LoOk At AlL tHe GeNrE cHaNges" well that is not so hard to do when your 'album' or this case 'product' is so vapid of passion that those changes do not catch any sort of interesting musical shift. Those shifts are few and far through the album, and it all sounds like royalty free music, regardless of the genre the song is being played in. Not to mention their is just 80 minutes of hearing this stock music.
The Black Eyed Peas Translation
WHO ASKED FOR MORE REGATONE IN 2020!?! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS AGERVATING, FROM USING THE SAME BEAT 14 TIMES, THE FEATURES, OR THE LYRICS...OH MY GOD, THE LYRICS, IT IS SO STUPID, SO SHALLOW, AND SO STUPID (like encouraging people to break quarantine, and yes I said stupid twice, that should tell you the level of dumb we are getting) THAT IT REALLY IS RELIC OF THE LATE 00s CRAPPY DANCE ANTHEMS, AND EVEN WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE "Melodies" (every song pretty much only has 4 lines) ARE SO FORGETTABLE THAT YOU CANNOT REMEMBER THEM RIGHT AFTER THE SONG ENDED. EVERYONE, LETS KEEP BLACK EYED PEA'S IN 2008, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
The Word Alive Monomania
holy crap this was freaking abysmal. Even by the watered-down, metalcore album but more the direction of radio rock standards.
Theory of a Deadman Say Nothing
the sampling of the shooting on whiteboy (where is the Tom McDonald feature LOL am I rite!?) alone warrants this a 1. this is an album on a whole is even worse the discoback("No fixed address") this album also features horrendous lyrics "Monkey see monkey do monkey you" "if you need me ill be ASMRing" and even after all that. it's just mind-numbingly boring, can't even be bothered to give any response, even outrage. I feel nothing from this
Thousand Foot Krutch Set It Off (Remastered)
"Intro" and "puppet" were the best on this album, and those songs are guilty pleasures. the album just keeps finding new ways to get worse as it goes on. "breather" has some of the worst drums I have heard in a while with how completely off-tempo they are, "everyone likes me" is every other alt. rock song slight more polite.Do not even get me started on "the alterntive song"
Thousand Foot Krutch Set It Off
part discount limp biskit, part "Thats what people do" remake, part christian edited covers, all 100% Trash Teir Canadian Rock
Thousand Foot Krutch That's What People Do
Yeah...TFK was not off exactly to a great start...

Trapt Shadow Work
I was thinking of writing a review just so I can give it a 0.5, but this album gives nothing to even to warrant a review, even to be outraged by. It is so lifeless, and autopilot for its 42- minute run time, because of how little i can really say about this, is it really worth it? By the way this right now is the worst album of 2020, so you know it is really, really bad. i was expecting terrible d-tier nu metal but getting a second 'theory of a deadman' album in 2020 is not much better EDIT: now staff are flexing that they can give a lower grade then a 1.
Woes (UK) Awful Truth
The Awful Truth is the trend you hacks are riding on died a while ago. And The Green Screen in the music videos is equal to the quality of this album
