The most barebones hard rock album of 2008-09. Every song is forgettable as hell. "Hell Yeah" while passable, is just pure late 2000s bro rock used for the morons of sports media.
The cringy love child of Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, and Twenty One Pilots. "Undead" is a guilty pleasure of mine but the rest sounds like a bunch of frat guys shouting juvenile lyrics. If this album had a scent, it would have smelled like post-milkshake diarrhea mixed with Monster (I feel it deep within) Energy and Sour Skittles.
Peak early 80s hard rock, one of the greatest rock albums of all time. "Shoot to Thrill" and "Back In Black" give me nostalgia thanks to my love for Iron Man. Both the singles and deep cuts slap.
Absolute cinema for the ears. Every song hits real hard, a powerful mix of progressive death metal and groove metal. "Toxic Garbage Island" hits hard.
Brendon Urie selling his soul to the all-mighty dollar by devolving from emo theater/pop rock/alternative rock to Nickelback inspired pop rock fluff.
The kings of 2000s butt rock making the musical equivalent of an assembly line. You have your 1 or 2 heavy butt rock hits and your 3 or 4 cheesy ass pop rock/post-grunge tunes. "If Today Was Your Last Day" literally sounds like a proto-"High Hopes" by Panic! At the Disco.
One of the most dull and uninspired rock albums of the late 2000s. Every song sounds like a fusion of Nickelback and 3 Doors Down but suck out the charm and switch it with the absolute worst of 'Divorced Dad Rock'.
Right next to Nirvana's 'Nevermind', Alice In Chains' 'Dirt', and Pearl Jam's 'Ten' as peak 90s grunge. Every song hits hard.
Peak 90s grunge, one of the absolute best albums from the era. "Down In a Hole" needs to be used in Lady Furina edits right away.
Diet Christian Rage Against the Machine makes butt rock/Octanecore tunes for the AMV crowd. "Courtesy Call" had me smiling despite not being a fan of it, "Let the Sparks Fly" and "War of Change" were decent. The rest is just butt rock/Octanecore filler.
A fairly enjoyable album from one of the most overrated (no pun intended) bands of the 2000s. The singles go hard, the same goes with the deep cuts.
Favorite Song(s): "Animal I Have Become", "Time of Dying", and "Never Too Late".
"Shepherd of Fire" and "This Means War" were my middle school jams despite being blatant Metallica ripoffs. The title track kicks maximum ass.
A pretty solid album from the decade of butt rock. While it follows a similar format as the other post-grunge/hard rock/alternative metal acts, they were executed a lot better.
Favorite Song(s): Devour, Sound of Madness, Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom).
Peak emo music from a decade full of "WAH! WAH! MY MOMMY HATES ME!!". The 2000s equivalent to Nirvana's 'Nevermind'.
