Poppy - new way out
48

It may be because one of the writers of this song was a former member of The Chariot(one of my favorite bands of all time), but I expected a lot more from this. I want Poppy to stay on the metalcore arc, but I hope future songs are more interesting than this.

A Day To Remember - Feedback
30

they really OWNED the haters with this one

Megadeth - Rust in Peace
97

This may be the greatest thrash album ever made. The vocals can sound a tiny bit goofy at times but absolutely everything else about the album more than makes up for it. One of the defining metal albums of the 90s.

Crystal Lake - Denial // Rebirth
93

May be my favorite thing Crystal Lake has ever done

Bad Omens - CONCRETE JUNGLE [THE OST]
28

This may be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. The Death of Peace of Mind wasn't my favorite album or anything, but I quite enjoyed the project. The singles for this didn't initially wow me, but they grew on me quite a bit and I ended up really enjoying both V.A.N. and The Drain. My enjoyment of these tracks made gave me a high expectation for the album, and after the disaster that was Bring Me the Horizon's album, I really thought that this was going to execute the metalcore pop ... read more

The Chariot - One Wing
98

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE MVP! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAAAAAT!!!!

Invent Animate - Heavener (Definitive)
NR

Not gonna rerate this bc I already rated the original, but this is a good album and the new tracks are all really good, with Heavener being my personal fav of anything here. The reimagined Without a Whisper just isn't very good though imo. The original was great the way it was no need to change things.

Bury Tomorrow - Villain Arc
60

It just sounds like a b-side off of their last album. Also the mixing sounded a little bit off to me.

thrown - look at me
60

It sounds good and all but it kinda lacks substance imo

Speed - THE FIRST TEST
90

The flute part is really funny but it also fits somehow and sounds groovy as hell at the same time

Botch - We Are the Romans
88

This album isn't my favorite metalcore album, but it definitely inspired a lot of my favorites. We Are the Romans was ahead of it's time, and it's a shame people didn't support Botch until far after they broke up, because it was one of the best core albums of the 90s.
Highlights: Man the Ramparts, Our Friends in the Great White North
Low Points: Thank God for Worker Bees - Remix

Within Destruction - ANIMETAL
25

OK SPOTIFY I FINALLY LISTENED TO IT STOP HARASSING ME

Invent Animate - How We Used To Say Goodbye
80

Not really sure why they released this when the deluxe edition is coming out in 2 days and there is now only one track left, but this was still very good.

Domain - Life's Cold Grasp
76

Great, heavy, fun ep. Metalcore fans should check this one out. My only gripe is the songs tend to blend together a bit but they're all really good regardless.

Red Handed Denial - A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
55

Half generic metalcore half butt rock. I don't hate it but I'm relatively unimpressed. Every member of the band performs well but I feel that they don't always align as they should.
Highlights: Eat Glass, Parasite
Low Points: Home, One More Night

Jasta - …And Jasta For All
79

Really cool mix of thrash and metalcore that I enjoyed quite a bit. Jasta is a super talented vocalist and almost everything he's involved in is good. His cleans could still use a bit of improvement though.
Highlights: Create the Now, Assimilation Agenda
Low Points: R.M.P.C, The Pheonix Way

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
97

Shit's so good it started an entire subgenre of people imitating it
Highlights: Blinded By Fear, Slaughter of the Soul
Low Points: The Flames of the End

Bring Me The Horizon - AmEN!
90

I wish the whole album had a similar feel to this song

Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: NeX GEn
30

Bring Me the Horizon have really cemented themselves as the Imagine Dragons of metal with this release, creating an album where nearly every song is so overproduced, it loses any grit and energy it should have and feels like it can barely be considered a part of the genre anymore. The key difference between BMTH and Imagine Dragons, is that BMTH have proven to have the ability to write music that I actually really enjoy sometimes. This album specifically actually contains what I would ... read more

The Curse Within - Ascension

I wanna like it but those cleans are atrocious

On ‎Remi's Reviews's review of Converge - Hum of Hurt
"You can just explain why you don't like it without trying to undermine everyone who does. Just because it isn't as good as Jane Doe doesn't make everyone who loves the album a fake metal fan who gets their taste from Fantano. Personally I think this a great blend of their rawer mathier stuff and more atmospheric sludge metal tracks. I Won't Let You Go is one of my favorite Converge tracks because imo it has one of their most memorable riffs and I enjoyed the sludgey progression of other tracks such as Detonator. You don't have to like the album but the way you are talking in this review is just as pretentious as the hipsters you claim to hate."

"Glad you enjoyed this. People can say what they want about it being "another abr album" but if I go to a steakhouse I want a quality steak not something else to eat you get me. ABR have a distinct sound and I'm happy to hear more from them whenever they put something out, this may be a top 3 record from them."

On JoshStasz's review of August Burns Red - Season of Surrender
"@HomeSession3 I think there is a solid chance you enjoy it since you gave Phantom Anthem an 80. The melodic riffs are very reminiscint of that era of the band but executed a little better imo. It's definitely better than Guardians or Death Below at the very least, but to be fair I'm very biased towards this band in particular lmao."

"I liked the song but yeah I miss the melodic riffs. Death Is Little More felt like an evolution on August Burns Red and Misery Signals while this feels more like what the rest of the metalcore scene is doing. I think they write good angry shit though so I'm ok with it. Plus I'll take it over the recent Dying Wish any day tbh."

On Benparton's review of Converge - Love Is Not Enough
"Highly recommend Axe To Fall. It's their most melodic album but it's still got the signature Converge chaos. All We Love We Leave Behind and No Heroes are also both great albums, and Bloodmoon is a really cool gothic metal project where they completely changed their sound up."
