100

The album that proved how grunge walked so emo could run.

Set It Off - Duality
38

We have My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At the Disco at home.

Rev Theory - Light It Up
48

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.

Hollywood Undead - Swan Songs
30

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.

AC/DC - Back in Black
100

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.

Gojira - The Way of All Flesh
100

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.

Skillet - Rise
45

The kings and queens of Christian butt rock rehashing "Awake and Alive". The only people this album appeals to are the AMV crowd and their insanely superficial taste in music. Want good hype music, stick with 1980s arena rock and glam metal.

The Script - #3
10

Sounds like the leftovers of Nickelback and Coldplay.

Panic! at the Disco - Pray for the Wicked
49

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.

Nickelback - Dark Horse
48

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.

Theory of a Deadman - Scars & Souvenirs
10

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'.

Pearl Jam - Ten
100

A 10 (pun intended) out of 10 album from an excellent band. Every song is raw and emotional.

Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
100

Right next to Nirvana's 'Nevermind', Alice In Chains' 'Dirt', and Pearl Jam's 'Ten' as peak 90s grunge. Every song hits hard.

100

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.

Thousand Foot Krutch - The End Is Where We Begin
58

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.

Three Days Grace - One-X
70

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".

Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King
86

"Shepherd of Fire" and "This Means War" were my middle school jams despite being blatant Metallica ripoffs. The title track kicks maximum ass.

Shinedown - The Sound of Madness
90

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).

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
100

Peak emo music from a decade full of "WAH! WAH! MY MOMMY HATES ME!!". The 2000s equivalent to Nirvana's 'Nevermind'.

Skillet - Awake
50

We have Nickelback and Godsmack at home.
