Hi, guys! I hope you all had a good day today, like I did. I guess days off from work just make me a happy kind of guy. :P Anyway its onto the list! Enjoy! :)
#40- Diamond Eyes by Deftones
The Deftones are a unique kind of band. They mix typical rock music with with metal in such a way that you would never guess they're actually a metal band. One minute your hearing the lead singer's soft voice singing "Diamond eyes" then the next you hear the song "Cmnd/Cntrl" and the screaming begins! the whole album is just great and if your willing to give them a try you'll be rewarded with something totally unique and a nice change of pace from the usual rock or metal.
For Fans of: Metal and Alt Rock Fused Together, Amazing Vocal Work, Uniqueness, Pretty White Owls.
Best Song: Diamond Eyes
My Score- 8/10.
#39- Echoes, Silence, Patience, & Grace by Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters have always been one of my favorite groups, but in my opinion they had fallen off a bit since previous albums. Well this one put them right back on track! Its filled with lots of good songs and then a couple of amazing ones, such as "The Pretender" which in my opinion may be on of the greatest opening tracks on any album ever! If you love rock and love Foo fighters than you'll love this album like I do.
For Fans of: Pretending, Bomb Shaped Lightbulbs, Echoes, Patience, Silence, Grace. :P
Best Song: The Pretender
My Score- 8/10.
#38- Swan Songs by Hollywood Undead
This album wastes no time getting right in your face and melting it with amazing lyrics and great guitar work. There are very few Rap/Rock bands out there anymore and Hollywood Undead tops all of them at this point and this album is the reason why. Every song on the album is ferocioous and has a message. Whether that's just about drinking and hooking up or songs bashing politics in America there's a bit of everything here. The album pulls no punches and gets up in your face constantly and that's why I love it!
For Fans of: What Linkin Park Used To Sound Like, Party Music, Brilliant Mix of Rock and Rap Genres, Scary Masks.
Best Song: The Diary (Not for the Faint of Heart)
My Score- 8.5/10.
#37- Collisions and Castaways by 36 Crazyfists
Now we move onto one of the most underrated Metalcore bands around now. Crazyfists are just fantastic and one of the few bands that got more than one album on my list. Still this album is fantastic and every song on it is good or great, which is rare for most albums out today. I was reluctant to give these guys a try at first, but i'm so glad I did and found this album in the process. Its amazing if your a fan of good Metalcore.
For Fans of: Awesome Band Names, Buried Treasure, 36, Underrated Bands, Albums With No Bad Songs.
Best Song: Caving in Spirals
My Score- 8.5/10.
#36- Meteora by Linkin Park
Believe it or not Linkin Park used to be one of my favorite bands ever. Unfortunately their last two albums have been complete s***. Anyway Meteora was their last great album, and man what an album it is! It was packed with amazing song after amazing song, and I listened to it everyday for years! Hell I still play it every now and again! The Rap/Rock combo was just amazing and still holds up today. If you've never heard this album then please slap yourself in the face, get in your car, drive to your nearest music retailer, and buy this album!!
For Fans of: The Old Linkin Park, Good Times, Lying From You, Spraying Paint.
Best Song: Lying From You
My Score- 9/10.
So that's all for tonight everyone. Remember to please listen to the songs before you comment, unless you've heard them before. Then please give yourself a pat on the back for me. :P Thanks for reading. :)
