[QUOTE="DreDayDetox, post: 5806892]Can't believe I'm the only hardcore Pearl Jam fan here.[/QUOTE]
I really like their first two albums, but I feel they become pretty forgettable after that. I'll listen to them again at some point though.
All I know is that I definitely prefer Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Soundgarden to them. Mainly because Pearl Jam is softer and has more of a Post-Grunge sound.
By the way, have you ever heard Temple Of The Dog and Mad Season? Those were two super groups in the 90s who made one album each. The former involved Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, while the latter involved Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam.

City & Colour - Sometimes 10/10
I remember when I first heard about this album, it was about 4 years ago when I started listening to Alexisonfire and my mate told me the guitarist Dallas Green had a little side project. I was really surprised and amazed at how good his songs were, and I was pretty much hooked from then on. Since then I've been meaning to have an actual copy of this album and last week I finally bought it and damn it feels so good I can't really pick a favourite song because I love them all, but I thought I would share this one

Since I'm posting the latest metal albums I've listened to in the metal thread, I'll just post the other albums in this thread...
Rush - Hemispheres
Genre: Progressive Rock
Released: 1978
Rating: 4.5/5
Nothing much to say here. Just some great progressive rock. There's only four songs, but they all deliver. The last track, "La Villa Strangiato", is especially interesting.
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Genre: Experimental Rock, Jazz, Blues
Released: 1985
Rating: 5/5
This is the first album I've heard from this gentleman and it more than delivered. One would think there would be at least one or two duds out of 18 songs, but no, every song is good here, there's great variety, and yet the album flows very well throughout. Tom Waits has one of the most distinguished voices in rock, as it's very low and can almost sound like a death metal grunt at times. I like it and feel it fits his bluesy and quirky music very well, but it's the most divisive factor when it comes to his music.

Album: Gravity
Artist: Lacrae
Release date: 2012
Rating: 6 out of 10
Gravity is Lacrae's latest album and his first mainstream album. It was a huge disappointment and nothing compared to Rehab or After the Music Stops. The best songs are: "Mayday", "Buttons", "Fakin", "Falling Down," and my favorite and probably the best song on the entire album, "Free From it All".
This album is a major disappointment, I hope Lacare goes back to what made his previous albums good.

Title: Holy Fire
Artist: Foals
Year: 2013
Genre: Indie rock
Rating: A-
Review: With a dreamlike quality and heavy influence from bands the likes of The Police, Holy Fire by Foals is quite the catchy and beautiful indie rock album.
Sample(s): "My Number"

[QUOTE="ps3freak18, post: 6012845]Bullet for My Valentine Temper Temper 6/10- By far their worst album. It just sounded lazy and not much effort put into if. Hopefully this isn't a new direction for them and they will get back to their poison days.[/QUOTE]
I think it's time to just move on lol. There's much better Metal out there than Bullet For My Valentine.

I almost puked when I heard it, pure shit. Downloaded it, deleted it after one playthrough.

I don't know what the fuck happened. They sound nothing like they did on any of their previous albums. Terrible lyrics, Michael Paget-unlike solos, just a complete mess. I hope they turn their shit around.

yep it took around 6 years or slightly longer... But they like the long process i guess.
I am happy to wait until next year to get my hands on the new album

Title: Continue...
Artist: Wax
Year: 2013
Genre: Hip-hop
Rating: A-
Review: Wax covers a variety of topics on this album, from drugs to relationships to the usual braggadocios lyricism, and he tackles these subjects with both solemnity and humor. Some of his funnier songs are absolutely riotous, especially the incredibly NSFW raunchfest "She Used to Be Mine," in which Wax paints a very vivid picture cheating ex-girlfriend and what he thinks she might be up to. It's an album with very versatile productions that replicate a ton of different genres as well as very solid wordplay.
Sample: "Feels Good" , "Lewis and Clark"
Title: No Love Lost
Artist: Joe Budden
Year: 2013
Genre: Hip-hop
Rating: C+
Review: I liked Joe Budden's mixtape A Loose Quarter, but this album reeks of a corporate moneymaking agenda. It's not awful, but it's so generic, from the beats to the subject matter to the features on most of the songs. Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5'9 offer up some decent verses, but most of this album is forgettable. I will say though, "Runaway" and "No Love Lost (Outro)" are pretty solid.
Sample: "Runaway" , "Top of the World"
Title: The Man Who Died in His Boat
Artist: Grouper
Year: 2013
Genre: Ambience
Rating: B
Review: It's not something that can be jammed out to, but it's a very soothing collection of ambient music tracks that wash over the listener without requiring much focus or attention from them.
Sample: "Vital"

I don't want to rain on anybodys parade because i know there are a ton of tool fans on here, but honestly i find their music wanting. Everybody says how deep they are but really all of their songs are just dime story philosophy and peace studies 101. the themes that they present are freshman level at best. Now you can appreciate the music for what it is because there is no band that can replicate their sound, but its not cryptic or profound.
