Pupil Slicer - Blossom
55

While I think this album has some interesting ideas, I think the band needed to spend more time with the flow of the tracks since some songs feel longer than they should be. Recommend checking out if you are desperate for some mathcore

We Versus The Shark - Ruin Everything!
60

This was fine. My biggest complaint is probably the vocals. Also the instrumentals could've been more interesting. I did vibe with it a little bit though

Ghost Atlas - Lesser Gods
45

This song is way too basic. The instrumentals and vocals aren't interesting or engaging

Beartooth - Disgusting
70

Yeah I put this album in the green. Despite this album being classified as a generic metalcore album, a lot of the songs don’t sound the same. Yes, most of them have the screaming vocals and singing vocals in the chorus structure as well as breakdowns. However, they're applied differently throughout most of the tracks on the album. The only major consistent criticism that I have are some of the lyrics, specifically the ones that me and my drum teacher made fun of in high school. Some ... read more

Nothing - When No Birds Sang
75

Despite me not being the biggest fan of shoegaze, I believe Nothing & Full of Hell on this album deliver an atmospheric experience that is both calming and violent. "Rose Tinted World" is such a noisy opener to start the album despite it having soft rock guitar parts in the bridge that give the track life. "Like Stars In The Firmament" is such beautifully intimate track that has these string and guitar parts that play off each other really well. My only complaint is that ... read more

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood
10

I blame this song for every lazy, overproduced, and annoying pop song of the last seven years. Sounds like it was made in an hour

Graphic Nature - Fractured
80

One of their more interesting tracks. The edm section was a strong way to end the song

Drain - Living Proof
70

While I think this album is a solid and somewhat different hardcore punk album, I feel like the riff work on here is a little too simple for my tastes. Plus the energy throughout the album is pretty much the same which is probably why I’ve listened to this album at least 15 times and I can’t remember how a single song goes. Still recommend checking it out if you like hardcore punk

Various Artists - Barbie The Album
59

Can’t really say anything new in this review that hasn’t already been said, except whoever put Billie Eilish and GAYLE on the same album should be fired

Driveways - Epilogues II
30

Honestly, this was like pop punk Machine Gun Kelly but with metal breakdowns. Very cringe lyrics with basic pop punk and metalcore instrumentals

PSYCHO-FRAME - BEATEN BEYOND IDENTIFICATION
80

Another great deathcore track that doesn’t fall into the trap of sounding tacky

Graphic Nature - A Mind Waiting to Die
60

This band definitely has potential to be great. Despite some songs blending together, it’s a fine nu metalcore debut

Alpha Wolf - Bring Back The Noise
35

This is the first time where Alpha Wolf to me have sounded like stock metalcore. The main riff was too repetitive, the drums were very simple especially compared to their other tracks that have very technical drum parts, and the turntable scratching didn’t add to the song at all other than noise. Overall this was a big meh from Alpha Wolf

Carnifex - Necromanteum
50

It’s too bad that all of the songs on here sound exactly the same since I like the first couple songs and wanted a switch up that never came

ur pretty - Keep Riding Me
10

This makes me wanna take a shower. Nothing wrong with those who like horny songs though

Drop Dead, Gorgeous - In Vogue
50

Didn’t really get much out of this but if you like 2000s post hardcore you’ll like this.

Boundaries - Armageddon
80

A more melodic riff focused track compared to what they normally do, however, they pull it off pretty well. My only criticism is that it’s a little more repetitive than most of their tracks.

Boundaries - Bedlam
85

Boundaries, my love

Northlane - Dante
59

I think Marcus’s vocals on here are beautiful and better than a lot of modern metalcore clean vocalists. However, I think the instrumentals are forgettable, specifically the bridge section, and sound like elevator djent music

Kaonashi - Humiliation Ritual
85

Kaonashi somehow found a way to have a riff be repeated over a three minute song and have it be entertaining and gripping. Vocals are basically a mental breakdown and I love it

On Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night
"The instrumentals accompany the lyrics more properly on dark sun than this album. Like the instrumentals in Pale Moonlight are so dumb because it has lyrics about someone (potentially Rory) 'dancing with the devil' to where it's harming them, and it sounds like a radio rock song meant to motivate people. Like shouldn't the song sound sad or at least off putting?"
On Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night
"@PoisonBow I haven't listened to dark sun in a while, I don't like either album but I think it is better than creature in the black night because the lyrics and song meanings have a bit more effort into them. Like with Parallel about his father passing away, or with Paper Hearts about Rory sharing that he has been so overwhelmed by the weight of the world that he has a suicidal thought about dying in a car crash"

On Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night
"@tn3t3ta How can you hate me so much, yet know nothing about me? I’ve given a lot of metalcore albums high ratings. I recently gave the new dying wish album, a metalcore band, a rating definitely higher than a 3/10. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with me, but don’t spread misinformation."
On PRESIDENT - King of Terrors
"@RemisReviews I don’t think I’ve ever said in my life that pop vocals make something bad. For the genre comment, it is my believe that these bands are more closer to pop than metal. A lot of their songs are just pop tunes featuring metal breakdowns and basic small elements of other genres."

On HomeSession3's review of Slaughter to Prevail - GRIZZLY
"a score of 50 being a "awful score" to me doesn't make any sense cause you're ignoring half of the numbers of quality you could be using to score an album (49 - 0). If you thought this album was worse than a 5/10 "middle of the road score" than you should rate it lower."
