![Veil of Maya - [m]other](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/622122-mother_1034.jpg)
Apparently this is the worst Veil of Maya album but jokes on you I haven't heard those yet so I can't be disappointed.
Highlights: [re]connect, Synthwave Vegan
Low Points: Death Runner, Godhead
I may not have given this a high rating but this album is proof to me that Wage War is capable of doing something absolutely incredible. Mixed among the butt rock and super generic metalcore stuff are some great songs.
Highlights: Manic, Death Roll
Low Points: Never Said Goodbye, True Colors
Takes a nu metal song I'm already not a big fan of, gets rid of the only part that makes it decent(the riffs), and adds Ronnie Radke to the mix. No thank you.
One of the best mathcore albums of all time imo. Still has definite weak points but GOD DAMN the peaks are high.
Highlights: Dark Horse(better opener than Concubine fight me), Axe to Fall, Cutter
Low Points: Cruel Bloom, Losing Battle
A good but largely forgettable album. I enjoyed my time listening to it and the vocals were great but I'll probably completely forget about it by next week.
![All the Damn Vampires - (O)rdinary [Synthwave Edition]](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/871500-ordinary-synthwave-edition_232222.jpg)
As someone who liked libad, the original song was already the absolute worst off of that album and this improved it a little bit but it's still ASS
Rage Against the Machine walked so that Limp Bizkit could run
It's still '68 doing '68 things but it doesn't hit as hard as a lot of their other stuff.
Highlights: The Knife, The Knife, The Knife, Lovers in Death
Low Points: Nervous Passenger, Life and Debt(shame because it has some of my fav lyrical content oj the album)
Name a label with more stacked bands than SHITWANK RECORDS. That's right, you can't.
Listened for the Jake Luhrs feature, stayed for the VIBES
Best song by this band. Such a shame ir was their last but I'd rather they end off on a high note ig.

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."
On HomeSession3's review of August Burns Red - Season of Surrender
"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."

On benny_hxc's review of Boundaries - Death will follow me
"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."

"You gotta give ashes of the wake a shot it's an absolute classic"
On August Burns Red - Behemoth
"@PolyPulse42 yeah i was trying to figure it out and learned that jake confirmed that they weren't doing the ai covers again for the next album so that makes me lean towards this cover not being ai either."
On Benparton's review of Converge - Axe To Fall
"This one is an absolute masterpiece. Dark Horse is what got me into Converge"
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."
On bhf // 💫's review of Nailed Shut MA - LUST IN THE END
"Don't really get the Erra comparisson tbh, but I do agree that the album becomes really samey after the first couple tracks."
