What people who hate DSBM think DSBM sounds like.

As much as I see and respect the vision, I can't get into the album as a whole with a few tracks being exceptions.

Linkin Park's first album finds a way to capture teenage angst and a middle age crisis all in one package

It's not common for the sophomore album to be better to the debut; it's incredibly rare for it to improve upon it in every way.

Gojira found a way to sonically represent the cries of Mother Earth.

The audio equivalence to ethereal embrace.

Blood Incantation established themselves worthy of immense praise and attention with a creative mashup of progressive structure and infectious old school death metal riffage.

Though it probably wasn't meant as such, this album is a monstrous and booming end to Death's discography.

Faint glimmers of what could've been glittered upon an annoyingly repetitive overblown bucket of sewage with a side of cope from the tongued of violated Carti fans.

Despite the quality instrumentals (for the most part), this album is destroyed by the lack of real variety in experimentation, not to mention Peggy’s repetitive flows and delivery that haven’t changed in almost 8 years. EXPERIMENTAL RAP is an absolute slog to get through.

Akuma No Uta sits in an odd place in their discography, not being the absolute peak of their work, but a more than welcome addition to their catalogue.

Boris's first album sends you into a barrage of distortion and drone so powerful, you can't help but bow down.

Crisp, sensual, and infectiously airy, Diamond Eyes soars through your ears like an owl in flight.

Those 11 minutes continue to baffle and intrigue me each time I listen to them.

It's hard to describe a dream in any context, but to transport someone into that dream through sound alone is on a totally different level.

Boring, monotonous, and ridiculously overhyped.

It's sloppy, off-beat, noisy, and generally inconsistent, but there's something so captivating I can't help but appreciate it.

Twenty minutes of beautifully orchestrated jazzy post-rock.

I mean, its not COMPLETE shit.

Painfully safe black metal for kids that record themselves wearing corpse paint while blasting Korn. Or people that don’t like black metal but want to be “in the know”. Or both. Probably both.
