A magnum opus. This album is full of perfectly constructed tracks which segue brilliantly into each other. A masterpiece in it's own right. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2020]

Saw Shihad for the first time as support for Motorhead during the 1916 tour. That was long before this. But I knew from seeing them they'd do well. And this is there pinnacle. All hail Shihad. Shihad's magnum opus. Best they've made. Best metal/hard rock album to come out of NZ. A bit top heavy, second half leveling off a bit but overall this is a fantastic album. If you like metal, get it. You wont be disappointed 01/24 [First added to this chart: 10/10/2020]

Discovered Beth Orton at 'The Big Day Out' playing mid afternoon on the secondary stage. I was lying on the grass having something to eat before indulging on the bourbon and mind altering substances I had to see me through the evening and night. I knew none of her music. But it was so hypnotic and serene. It fit the mood so perfectly and she has the most beautiful voice. I was hooked. When something sounds that good before you've taken your drugs, you know your onto a great thing. Queen of alt folk. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2020]

Driving rhythms right through. I don't like putting music into sub-genres but if we're going to lump this into the nu-metal category it ranks as one of the superior albums of that genre. One flaw is that it does have a very similar feel throughout but finishes with a nice change of pace with 'December'. Very under rated and deserves more credit than it's ever had.

This has an interesting feel to it. The balancing of the clean and the guttral vocals, heavy versus light rhythms. It seems to go to different ends of the spectrum within most tracks rather than blending. Still fucking great though, but next few albums after this are better when the blending of the light and dark hit perfection. [First added to this chart: 02/23/2021]

From their golden era. Lot of their best songs on this. Even the songs that weren't commercially pushed have that classic Chili's sound. That's what makes this one of their better albums. [First added to this chart: 11/28/2023]

First half of this has quite a darker tone & heavier feel than his other outings. Not saying that's bad, in fact it's bloody great. Back half is a bit sunnier. Enjoyable right through. This is my personal favorite from Ben. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2020]

Say what you will about Limp Bizkit, they've got some grunt behind a lot of their tunes. One of the better Nu-Metal albums out there. The last 4 or 5 tracks could've been cut which would of improved it as a whole. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2020]
