And We Wept The Black Ocean Within-Yet another post-metal/sludge/doom band that sings of Water/Nature. This CD i took my time in listening to. I have listened to it consecutively 15x in a row. It's just that good! The band has members from Neurosis, Red Sparowes, and other doom influenced bands. This band considers themselves "Whale Metal", and when you listen to them, you will see yourself why they label themselves such. Recommended for fans of: Seven Nautical Miles, Pelican, Sleep, Crowbar, etc. Overall Rating: 9.7/10
The Anatomy Of-Btbam's 4th release. This is a full length album in traditional aspect, but it is a cover album. The band covers all their influences (metallica, motley crue, soundgarden, queen, king crimson, pink floyd, smashing pumpkins, earth crisis, sepultura, blind melon, faith no more, depeche mode, pantera, and counting crows). The band has very odd influences because the band plays avant-garde progressive metalcore. BTBAM plays alot of the songs so they sound just like the originals, and it's good. The only song that they changed was "Blackened" by metallica. Their rendition sounds so much better than metallica's original, and they use death metal vocals for a song that had light thrash vocals. The best song on the whole album besides "Blackened" would have to be the rendition of "Us And Them" by Pink Floyd because the song sounds close to the original, which is hard for alot of bands to pull off. Recommended for fans of: 90's alternative, deaththrash, and heavy metal. Overall Rating: 6/10
Of Truth + Reconciliation-A CD that sadly didn't get enough attention from popular music fans. Staple's music is very off-kilter from the average post hardcore/hard rock. The band sounds like a fusion of Silverstein and Project 86. They're too screamy for post hardcore, but are too light to be metalcore. Staple really defies the genres it takes influence from. The 2nd half of the album is alot more memorable, but the heavier material starts off the album. Recommended to fans of: Silverstein, Project 86, and P.O.D. Overall Rating: 8/10
Te Quiero-Another, but even worse than Hawthorne Heights, guilty pleasure. I heard the title track "Te Quiero" so much over the summer when i was landscaping with 10 mexicanos, that it just got attached to me. I thought the man went by the name El Nigga until i was looking for the CD at best buy last weekend and saw the title "Te Quiero" but under the name Flex. My band is planning, mainly as a joke, to try and think up of a way to make the title track into a deathcore cover song. Recommended for fans of: Pitbull, Daddy Yankee, other standard reggaeton musicians. Overall Rating: 9/10
[A->B] Life-The first full length release of Mewithoutyou. Has a fair amount of songs that make the CD worth listening to. It's hard to really pick a favorite song because the album wasn't too memorable. Recomended to fans of: Saetia, I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in Your Yearbook, Circle Takes The Square, and Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? Overall Rating: 6.7/10
