Set It Off’s debut Cinematics is a well performed and arranged bombastically theatrical pop punk album packed with (for the most part) broadway ready bangers even if some of the lyrics are overly melodramatic and there’s a track around the midpoint which doesn’t sound like it should be on the album.
My favorite tracks are: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, Plastic Promises and I’d Rather Drown
White Lies’s debut To Lose My Life is a well performed post-punk and goth rock tinged debut album with well produced and written bangers although a couple tracks miss for me.
My favorite tracks are: E.S.T, Fairwell to the Fairground and Nothing To Give
Deftones’s Diamond Eyes showcases the bands unique, expansive and anthemic style whilst being lightly experimental and destructively heavy in places, a couple of times in the same song, however a couple tracks in the second half kind of run into another.
My favorite tracks are: Youve Seen The Butcher, Sextapes and CMND/CNTRL
