Rock/Metal Album Reviews | 1 Year Challenge
[Yes, I totally ripped the title from noname (props for your original 1 year challenge, you've made it really far, I know life's making it difficult for you right now, but push through, you can do it!)]
Mmkay, so I am in desperate need of new music to listen to, specifically in the Rock/Metal genres. That was about as general in terms of genre as I could make it, so as to allow you guys to suggest anything you got, be it Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Punk, Black Metal, Power Metal, Mathcore, Metalcore, you name it. IF it's in the list, I'll review it eventually. PLEASE NOTE: My reviews will not be nearly as in-depth or legit as other's (i.e. noname's). For the most part I will be judging whether or not I like the music, and how much so. In total I'm going to need 365 albums to review, so I'm gonna need a lot. Because of the quantity, (again, ripping from noname, <3 you) everyone will be able to request a total of anywhere from 1-10 albums. You can swap out submissions at any time, but I won't review more than 10 for you, so as to give more people chances. EDIT: This does not mean that I will not accept suggestions beyond 365. I will continue accepting them, however I will not review them all. I will likely do more than 365 (due to days I decide to do extra albums), but there's no way I'm doing ~500 lol) SPREADSHEET OF ALBUMS LEFT TO REVIEW: I don't know why I just copypaste Noname's post, honestly. If you suggest (an) album(s), put your Birthday down along with your suggestions if you'd like me to do a review of one of your suggestions for your birthday! I'll do my best to do a review each day/make up for missed days, I fully intend on riding this all the way until the end. Find me some stuff! (Literal Copypaste from noname) Ranking ★★★★★★★★★★ 10 - Masterpiece ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 - Amazing ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8 - Excellent ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7 - Great ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6 - Good ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ 5 - Decent ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ 4 - Poor ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3 - Bad ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 2 - Awful ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 1 - Abysmal Reviews (chronological order) 1. The Luna Sequence - They Follow You Home ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ 5 - Decent 2. System of a Down - Hypnotize ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8 - Excellent 3. System of a Down - Mezmerize ★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 - Amazing 4. A Day To Remember - What Separates Me From You ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6 - Good 5. Protest The Hero - Fortress ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8 - Excellent 6. Meshuggah - ObZen ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8 - Excellent

Re: Rock/Metal Album Reviews | 1 Year Challenge
There goes my brother ripping all my submissions.
Oh and YMIA, revamping this thread is awesome. I like the idea of having multiple users willing to undertake such a project. (Shoutouts go to rayword, noname and trog). Made a song a day challenge once but couldn't even keep up. So again, definitely don't let this stress you. EDIT: At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind Baptists - Bushcraft Norma Jean - Wrongdoers La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair Biffy Clyro - The Vertigo of Bliss PMtoday - In Medias Res Soilwork - The Living Infinite A Static Lullaby - Rattlesnake! Rescuer - With Time Comes the Comfort Kayo Dot - Hubardo The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is The Killer Genghis Tron - Board up the House Against Me! - As the Eternal Cowboy Pistolita - Oliver Under the Moon Moving Mountains - Waves Sylosis - Monolith Isis - Oceanic Last edited by Crazyjayde; 05-1-2014 at 11:34 PM.. |
