Emmure - Speaker of the Dead

Imagine if you gave Limp Bizkit 8 strings, made it metalcore, and a lot heavier, you'd get this probably. At 38 mins this album doesn't wear out it's welcome, the first half is a super strong run of songs with insane riffs and great vocals. Even some of the early 2010s dubstep noises have their own charm. Some of Frankie's lyrics and rapping deserve an eye roll occasionally but it's sort of self aware in how goofy it is. The songs do get a bit weaker halfway through but still a solid album ... read more

So it's funny that the only song in which they really work for me is "DYWTYLM" which is just an R&B track through and ... read more

While not quite as consistent as Toxicity, self titled's highlights match it's prowess easily. A fair few of the songs on here are a lot weirder as well, another awesome album.
