My Iron Heart-Pop meets deathcore breakbeat drums. It's a rather odd mix of materials; but Amen. The Animal knows just the right things to play to pull off the sound this great. The bad news is they have abolished this sound since and are now just really bad boring pop music. This was just a really fun EP to put on in the car and dance to. Recommended to fans of: A Day To Remember and Floral Terrace. Overall Rating: 8.9/10

Goodbye (Proud World)-Underground release from ex-members of Pale Horse. This is a good underground christian death/doom band. I wasn't expecting much from a release from 1994 due to the fact i listen to material moreso relatively new in doom material (with exception of Trouble (from the 70's)). The demo showed alot of potential for a band that never made it. This CD is one of 2,000 copies and a cheap disk, although i think its a gem. Recommended for fans of: Ataraxie, Death, and Esoteric. Overall Rating: 7.7/10

Celestial-Not the best release from Isis. I took my time listening to it because i didn't really care too much for it; i listened in bits and pieces before bed and that was the extent. It was too much "anti-atmosphere" in a way. Recommended for fans of: more standard sludge than atmospheric sludge. Overall Rating: 5.6/10

Murder-I was surprised to find out i liked this band. This is the only thrash band i like. It is moreover standard death metal with metallica and lamb of god influence. It was a short listen, and was cheap to get on CDBaby.com. Definitely a good bang and is worth alot more than i paid for. Recommended for fans of: Metallica, Lamb Of God, and Death. Overall Rating: 7.9/10
Pretty Little Lightning Paw-So far the only release i own from post-rock legends Silver Mount Zion. The band has so many different names, but i prefer Silver Mt. Zion because it's the shortest and to the point. This is, I'm guessing, a collective of musicians; with it's core made up of members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This CD has great atmosphere to it, and the vocals are sharp, really creepy, dark; almost misanthropic. The music shows hidden feelings being able to escape. This is a great CD to lie in bed with your girlfriend/boyfriend and just space out and think about things. Recommended for fans of: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Gregor Samsa, and Parabstruse. Overall Rating: 8/10
