An excellent follow-up to Hybrid Theory. Still retaining that nu metal energy from the debut, but taking it in a more Alternative Rock direction with this record. Hybrid Theory has the rawness and stronger singles, but Meteora flows better as an album with stronger songwriting, better production, and improved vocal performances. Whether you prefer the punchiness of Hybrid Theory or the cohesiveness of Meteora, both nu metal classics that have stood the test of time.

This album is such a classic man. One of those albums that has strong memories tied to it, or even if you're unfamiliar with their work, this is just so consistent and back-to-back bangers. With bouncy, metal influenced riffs, the usage of electronics, and the contrast of Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington makes for a memorable and unique experience. Whether you love it or not, it's an album you won't forget.

This may not be the best or most polished mixtape, but it's one of my most replayed. To me, this is his darkest and most drugged out release. The experimentation and the beats aren't as strong as on Rodeo, but still contains songs that are worth revisiting.

This compilation features experimentation and unfinished demos, with some tracks appearing on later releases. An intriguing listen if you want to hear some of Joel's early days before Random Album Title.

A bit more unpolished compared to 808s & Dark Grapes II or Blackberry Kush, but this is a great mixtape for those who want to hear more Friendzone x Main Attrakionz in their prime.

Blackbirds is an amazing song for being a throwaway demo track. It would've fit so much better as a bonus track on Minutes to Midnight or A Thousand Suns then here.

Before they started playing a blend of Black Metal and Cyber Metal, they played more traditional black metal. More specifically, symphonic black metal. I think this is one of the most overlooked albums in the genre, as it plays the style without being cheesy which a lot of bands can suffer from.

The keyboards take the lead, evoking a medieval and majestic soundscape. The melodic riffing that complements the keyboard work, and a nice drum sound.

Their best live album. Most of the songs from One More Light feel more organic and definitely come out more live. And the other songs are overall great performances.

The slow emotional ballad of Crawling might be my favorite version of that song.

An overlooked gem in their discography. This mixtape only contains six actual songs but they're all pleasant to listen to. Still containing that Hyphy influence from previous releases but you can hear the Cloud Rap coming into effect towards the second half.

One of their early mixtapes that had more of a Hyphy influenced sound that laid the foundation for the Cloud Rap excellence that was to come. For being released in late 2009 and having a more DIY sound to it, it's pretty solid! Not many weak points other than a couple songs.

70 minutes of corny pointless Spoken Word? No thank you!

Quite unfortunate that this is the same band that has some great records like Night of the Stormrider and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Really taints this formerly great band.

Wildly inconsistent, as you may come to expect in a Lil B Mixtape. Though the bad songs like Like Me, Princess Freestyle, and Dem BasedGod are some of the worst Lil B songs I've heard, but then you have your great highlights such as Wonton Soup, Im Heem and Goodbye. So still songs definitely worth adding to the collection.

Easily a top 3 Lil B project. Positive and introspective lyrics, bright and well-produced throughout. No novelty / filler songs found here, and it's under an hour. Not much more you could ask for!

Solid First Wave Black Metal from Czechia that sounds similar to Root, but with a softer production. Great riffing provided throughout the album.

Talking about the music - it's a crown jewel of Atmospheric Black Metal. An album that takes you on a cold, wondrous, sometimes depressing journey. An album that is emotive and moves you.

Unpopular opinion it seems like but I prefer the second half to the first half. Dunkelheit and Jesus' Tod are quintessential Black Metal tracks, but I find the ambient tracks of Gebrechlichkeit and Rundgang so entrancing. But regardless, just an amazing record that deserves the praise.

This is the most demonic Memphis tape I've heard. It features a couple members from Children of the Corn / Graveyard Productions and Grimm on production. If you enjoyed The Havoc and/or The Single, I'd recommend this! This sounds like its deteriorating as you keep playing it, and I love it!

This second demo by Gnipahålan is simply intoxicating. I quite enjoy the usage of keyboard work in Black Metal. And when it's done correctly like this demo tape, it feels otherworldly. Maybe it's a tad bit overlong at over 60+ minutes but the music here is played so well that I don't really mind it.

Two of my favorite Black Metal projects in recent times dropping a split? Hell yeah!

The Evilfeast side reminds me a lot of Lost Horizons of Wisdom with the production and the more straight-forward Black Metal sound with more minimal synth work especially coming off previous releases.

And the Gnipahålan side is an Atmospheric Black Metal ripper! Both sides are Atmospheric Black Metal excellence.

Really hope Evilfeast drops new material soon as it's been a little over 5 years since ... read more

More polished and symphonic compared to his earlier albums, but still carries that raw and evil edge. I believe this is his peak so far as the musicianship goes! The guitars and especially the drumming is at an all-time high with this release. And the atmosphere never gets tiring or boring despite the 60+ minute runtime.

Evilfeast is certainly one of the best Black Metal projects in recent times! I really hope he drops something new soon since its nearing 10 years since this albums release at ... read more

Frontierer but even more raw and visceral. Consider yourself annihilated after you listen to this.
