Wet Sleeves - Glory Days
82

Thanks @guitargod784 for the rec

Shoegaze is not my type of music, but this EP was honestly pretty solid. Tracks 3 and 4 were especially notable, being like a hybrid of Basement and Jimmy Eat World and Radiohead all at the same time, with that special indie artist charm. Overall it's definitely a great EP, even if I'm not really too big on the genre.

Wiretap - Catalyst
84

Thanks @cylon1 for the rec

The drops are very anticlimactic, but I definitely see the vision and hope that the Wiretap alias gets expanded upon further in the future. Catalyst is overall a pretty unique and interesting electronic track with simple drums and sound design but a cool concept.

Metallica - Too Far Gone?
90

Yet another surprisingly heavy and solid song from Metallica despite them being pretty old by this point.

The Browning - OMNI (ft. THE DEFECT)
100

A brutal, heavy, and powerful trancecore track that goes super hard.

The Browning - Deceiver
98

Although it doesn't have a hardstyle drop, which is what The Browning is really good at, this song is still very solid nonetheless. The German lyrics are also cool.

The Browning - HIVEMIND
100

That hardstyle drop is just 🤌

The Browning - Poison
97

Not exactly the most innovative of tracks, but an insanely solid one regardless.

The Browning - OMNI
99

OMNI is an unrelenting trancecore force with some insane breakdowns, heavy riffs, and surprisingly solid hardstyle drops. In The Browning's infancy, some of its hardstyle drops were pretty weak, but here that's not true at all. OMNI combines the best of both worlds of metalcore and hardstyle into one album that showcases why both of those genres are some of my favorites.

The Browning - Hypernova
98

The Browning is an insanely innovative album in the field of trancecore, consisting of a bunch of different influences from different genres and the occasional hardstyle or electronic drop that makes the album feel just that much more unique. The instrumentation is great and the vibe on this album is off the charts, with it being as explosive and powerful as you'd've expected from the cover art. This album is a cross between everything I love about metal and hardstyle both. This album ... read more

Lauren Sanderson - COME SAY SUM (feat. Fred Durst)
50

Fred Durst is the only redeeming quality about this song, but wow does he cook.

98

I wish my brother would do this.

Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It)
96

Despite the fact that a lot of this album sounds the same, this one balances comprehensibility and anger exceptionally well.

Deftones - Around the Fur
92

A heavy, unrelenting force in the world of nu metal.

Deftones - Around the Fur
93

Around the Fur is something that all metal fans, nu metal ones especially really should listen to. Whether the frantic drums, killer riffs, or questionable vocal performances, this album is an aggressive powerhouse that kicks and screams for 10 tracks with basically no filler whatsoever.

Linkin Park - A LIGHT THAT NEVER COMES
100

A banger in all possible capacities.

Steve Aoki - Darker Than Blood
63

As much as I love Linkin Park, Steve Aoki's work here is pretty mid.

Steve Aoki - Neon Future II
64

A slight step up from Neon Future I in most departments, with slightly more interesting sound design and fleshed-out production, but also a huge space for development and improvement. Some drops feel quite anticlimactic, and for a song's drop to be boring and not change at all is a big flaw of this album.

Yuno Miles - Sea Lion
85

Finding an actually good Yuno Miles song is like finding a needle in a haystack, but this song is actually pretty funny.

Yuno Miles - Coming Home
61

Not very funny, but it's also not bad.

Yung Craka - Drop Dead Gorgeous
78

Even though Yuno Miles' thing is that he's supposed to be funny, this song is actually kinda somehow somewhat decent. The bass guitar is also dope.
