As Everything Unfolds - Ultraviolet
40

I remember listening to this album when it first came out and I have no desire to relisten to it due to the fact that I was bored and trying to get through it. Definitely an album that can be put into the “metalcore albums where every song sounds the same” bin.

I See Stars - D4MAGE DONE
40

I don’t truly know how I feel about this track but I feel like it’s overall run of the mill. Nothing really stood out as bad or good on this track. The breakdown was a little too simple

Better Lovers - Two Alive Amongst The Dead
79

I’m so glad every time I die and the dillinger escape plan are basically living through this band. Good amount of energy in terms of both vocals and instrumentals

Enterprise Earth - The Reaper’s Servant
60

I think this single is better than the last single which was stock deathcore, or @fork_head’s “meshuggah but not nearly as interesting” comment. This one sounds like they added some solos and riffs that reminded me a bit of slayer which I thought was cool. It still has that over the top breakdown at the end that I get tired of in the deathcore subgenre. Still not a fan of the clean vocals in part of the chorus

Gideon - MORE POWER. MORE PAIN.
55

I think I was too excited for this release and expecting a better time than the album we got. A lot of the riffs are heavy and fun but also sound the same. At least they change it up slightly with the melodic riffs on tracks like “If You Love Me, Let Me Go” and “Midnight Blue.” A lot of the lyrics are silly. Not really a release I would go back to

Megan Thee Stallion - Cobra
80

Wow, as someone who never really cared for Megan’s music before, this track is great. Her rap flow is sick and the beat is great with the guitars

Siamese - On Fire
15

Ok, I’m sorry but this track has almost everything I hate about modern metalcore, specifically pop bands that try to be a metal band or vice versa. That weird edm dance music that happens right before the first chorus and sounds like it’s stolen from a Taio Cruz track, the extremely poppy vocals that have the vocalist sound like they’re trying out for an Ariana Grande audition, overproduced djent guitar riffs, and even clapping. WE DONT NEED CLAPPING SOUNDS BECAUSE A SNARE ... read more

August Burns Red - Death Below
40

This album has one of the worst album covers of the year with it being AI generated and looking like nothing. Also every song on here sounds the same and I was bored the whole time through. Recommend listening to their earlier albums like Constellations and avoiding this

Of Mice & Men - Tether
30

You know, I thought I was gonna hate this based off of pretty much every alt metal reviewer on here not leaving positive reviews, and I did

Leah Kate - Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch
0

I can’t wait for the sequel, “Row Row Row Your Bitch”

mgk - emo girl
0

One of the worst pop punk songs of all time

MouthBreather - Self-Tape
70

I think “Self Tape” is a step up from their last album “I’m Sorry Mr. Salesman” in terms of the mixing and tracks feeling more like songs that have their own distinct identity. I think MouthBreather still have created a unique mathcore experience that is only being held back by being safe like song-melding

Full of Hell & Nothing - Like Stars In The Firmament
100

Even as someone who doesn’t really care for the band Nothing, this is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in 2023.

The Ghost Inside - Death Grip
40

“Mom, can we have Gideon.”
“We have Gideon at home.”
Gideon at home:

Megan Thee Stallion - Cobra (Rock Remix)
29

I feel like Spiritbox don’t really add anything to the track to make their feature really stand out. But that could be that they were worried they were gonna overpower Megan. They mix with Megan pretty well and the performances are fine, but not really unique or interesting in terms of metal/rap crossovers.

Edit: ok, I decided to relisten to this since after listening to the original track more and I’ve decided that this is a really weak remix. The part where only Courtney is ... read more

Sabrina Carpenter - emails i can't send
40

The writing on this album is too safe which is something you never wanna have on a pop album and I didn’t get much out of it. Doesn’t really provide anything new or interesting for the genre.

This was recommended to me by @Missing_Lyriks please check out their profile for other recommendations especially if you liked this

Jacob Collier - Djesse (Vol. 3)
30

It’s really unfortunate that the first song on this album is the worst track on here and it doesn’t get much better. Jacob sounds like he’s at least trying, but he’s doing way too much for his own good and despite it being all over the place it’s not really memorable for the right reasons.

Full of Hell & Nothing - Spend The Grace
70

Full of Hell and Nothing mend together well on this track to keep it interesting and entertaining for its almost six minute runtime

PSYCHO-FRAME - THE PLOT TO NUKE THE MIDWEST
85

Good deathcore track with unique modern production. Very interested to see what they’re gonna do next from this single

Kaonashi - I Hate the Sound of Car Keys
80

This is what Knocked Loose sounds like to people who hate Knocked Loose

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"

"@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."
