| Taylor Swift Midnights | 2.5 |
| For the first time in Taylor's career, she truly sounds stuck. Midnights is a cross between the everything-and-the-kitchen sink approaches of both Reputation and Lover, with little of their charm. The melodies aren't as sticky and the lyrics aren't nearly as convincing as we are used to coming from Ms. Swift. While its not without its charms -Sweet Nothing is an incredibly cozy track- Midnights is the first outright misfire in her otherwise legendary career. |

| Trophy Scars Astral Pariah | 5.0 |
| If Holy Vacants was the band firing on all cylinders to throw everything and the kitchen sink at the wall, Astral Pariah is content to sit back in a leather chair with a cigar to regale you in a tall tale. This is maybe their most intimate, focused album of their career that goes by entirely too quickly. The performances are nuts and will soon have you finding yourself white knuckling to hear the next twist in this revenge saga. Sister might be their most sinister song ever, but I don't want to delve too deep in specifics. This likely won't have as wide of an appeal as Holy Vacants, but it rules. Trophy Scars continues to be one of the underground's most underappreciated acts and I sincerely hope we don't have to wait another seven years to hear whatever concoction they dream up next. |

| While at times out of its depth, Daddy's Home is a bold entry into St. Vincent's discography choosing to accentuate grooves with warm, psychedelic atmospherics than guitar heroism and futuristic electronics on past entries. There will be time for her to push her own sound further in the future, but it's nice to see her take a step back and let her songs breathe and run their own course. |

| Coheed and Cambria The Afterman: Descension | 4.0 |
| If Ascension was a summation of where they've been, Descension is the next step in Coheed's storied (ha.ha.) career. And what a weird step it is. There's trumpets, mandolins, ukuleles, and plenty of whoa-oh's spread across the album's nine tracks, resulting in a sound that is, overall, far more positive and poppy than anyone could have expected. The tracks that do get dark, Gravity's and Sentry the Defiant, also happen to be instant Coheed classics. Descension isn't going to change anyone's mind about Coheed, but it does end the Afterman saga on an incredibly high note. |

| Have a Nice Life Time of Land | 3.5 |
| Time of Land, contrary to popular belief, was not made with a specific purpose in mind. These are not B-Sides of any kind, but rather four songs that work together stylistically. Of the four songs on here, two are ambient pieces with minimal to no vocals. "Wizard of the Black Hundreds" is one such piece and definitely sheds more light on their black metal influence that has only been hinted at in the past. The clear standouts, however, are the two tracks that feature extensive vocals. "The Icon and The Axe" is a rather poppy song that has an infectiously catchy vocal line and, gasp!, a gang shout? Yes, a gang vocal shout. The other clear standout is "Woe Unto Us", which would not sound unwelcome on a Joy Division album. All in all, this is a solid release that will ultimately help tide fans over until the next full-length is released (hopefully) this year, but Time of Land can stand on its own in Have a Nice Life's discography as another interesting release. |

They used to show promise and then Are You Dead Yet? came out with, SURPRISE!, mediocre reception. But I mean hey, as long as the Hot Topic kiddies are buying their stuff, why get rid of success? The spawn of their newfound popularity is a bad one indeed with excruciatingly painful repetition and progression that makes pretty much the entire album one monotonous chore to listen to. I know that there is no point in writing a bad review about these guys because they will and have already sold thousands of copies already, but I mean c'mon! This is an embarrassment to Power Metal and metal in general. |

This concept album (with 120 different stories!) is an incredibly fun listen with catchy vocals, poppy solos, and just the overall unique sound of the band. If you even remotely like power metal at all, you owe it to yourselves to check these guys out. |

| Avenged Sevenfold produce a pile of filth that conveys a very misunderstood vision of metal to the MTV masses. Whiny vocals, horrible lyrics, done-to-death riffs, and just mediocrity in general make this a tiring, boring, and pointless listen. Overall, these guys just don't even seem to be trying anymore and I couldn't care less. I hope this release puts Zacky Vengeance, M. Shadows, and the rest of the lot in the poor house. Someone needs to inform these guys that they don't have to jump this high to get over the proverbial shark. |

Note:You are not a Dragonforce fan if you call Through the Fire and Flames their best song, you are a Guitar Hero player if you do. |

| Blackwater Park is perhaps the most overrated album I have ever seen. Even though the band can write good songs, they have this innate ability where they must say to each other, "Hey guys! This part is great, so let's repeat it over and over again!" Seriously, it gets old. Songs that are long for the sake of being long miss the point completely and I cannot help but feel that that is what the majority of this album is. Crucify me if you wish, but first take a deep breath and make sure it is not fanboyism kicking in. |

There are moments where it is decent, but is quickly faded out by just plain bad, bland, and generic songwriting.

| Agalloch Pale Folklore | 5.0 |
| A Black/Folk/Doom/whatever you would like to call it album that dances with perfection. Though simplicity is a main factor throughout, this is not an easy listen by any means, yet that is part of its charm. Agalloch NEVER conform to what you want to hear, but instead ask you to listen to what they wish to convey and what they convey here is a perfect winter scene with epic climaxes and awe inspiring atmosphere. A true achievement in what metal is and tries to be. |

| Upon first listening to The Mantle, one may wish to shrug it off as a repetitive acoustic outing that goes nowhere. If you do this, then it is only your loss. The Mantle is a somberly epic affair that knows exactly what it is doing even if you don't. The album almost seems to repeat itself in a pattern (long song, then an instrumental), but then the second half of Hawthorne Passage and Great Cold Death of the Earth come up and produces one of the most satisfying climaxes ever. This is an album I can come back to again and again for more and truly deserves the Classic rating. |
