Not really a whole lot to cheer about. The new Incubus album might see some good moments but
then again a new Spinal Tap album is a huge treat. You guys are on your own really this week.

What an interesting week. We mainly have underground hits coming out but if you like music

while.

Story of the Year - The Constant - "I really
thought the album would have turned out differently but this might be a sign
that label Epitaph is giving the band one more chance and that chance is The
Constant." - Eric
Through the Eyes of the Dead - Skepsis - "Skepsis is a f***ing brutal
album that should not be missed" - Eric
Fear Factory - Mechanize - "Fear Factory seemed to be down for the
three count, but then Mechanize came out as the bands shining grace." - Eric
Dark Tranquillity - We Are the Void - "If you souly look at it as a Dark
Tranquillity album only and compare it to past efforts from Dark Tranquillity
then it can’t compare to other albums." - Eric
Mutiny Within - Mutiny Within - "It is hard to find perfection any more in music. I have found one album this
year that fits the mold and now I am ready to add another one." - Eric
Fozzy - Chasing the Grail - "Chasing the Grail
is a straight assault of pure American heavy metal." - Eric
Taking Dawn - Time to Burn - "Enter 4-piece hard rock band Taking Dawn, an Avenged Sevenfold rip-off band that
is all about saying “f***” in their first track, just so you don’t hit the stop
or pause button." - Eric
Annotations of an Autopsy - Reign of Darkness - "Everyone in Annotations of an Autopsy stepped up a
level and made an album worthy enough to get a good rating from me." - Eric
Alesana - Emptiness - "I never thought that Alesana could make an album worthwhile." - Eric
Arsis - Starve for the Devil - "I will go as far as saying that Starve for the Devil is the bands Slaughter of
the Soul (At the Gates)." - Eric
Mnemic - Sons of the System - "Each and every one of
these tracks could have ended at their half way marks. But no Mnemic wanted to
make long tracks to bore the living s*** out of us." - Eric
Aeternam - Disciples of the Unseen - "Why would I want to
invest into this Aeternam band? Easy, they make all those other goods bands I
enjoy look mediocre." - Eric
Six Feet Under - Graveyard Classics 3 - "Barnes does his traditional low growl vocals with the high
screeching sound of two cars, ready to collide." - Eric
People Under The Stairs - Carried Away - "The album doesn't venture much
out from under the umbrella of the party hip hop genre that they've created for
themselves." - Tom
