1001 Albums Summary

User album #27. I probably have heard this band before, but I don't remember. I think maybe they are considered screamo(?) Let's see... Well, color me surprised! This is awesome! Sounds a bit like Coheed and Cambria which I love. And I'm 51. I'm not supposed to like this, am I? Oh well. I didn't really take the emo stuff seriously. I laughed out loud at "I'm not o-fucking-kay!" Favorite tracks: Give em Hell Kid and Thank You for the Venom. What the hell, 5/5

User album #15 I did not know what this was going to sound like going in. Oh, early 2000s emo-pop-punk? I can get behind that. The main list is sorely lacking in stuff like that. No Blink-182, Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, etc. I was older than the target demographic for these bands, even back then, but I still enjoyed it. Same with this album. I like the energy. There is a song, Life of a Salesman, that talks about how much he looks up to his dad. Wow, didn't expect a song like that!

User album #34 If you love epic, girl-sung anime theme songs and Dragonforce, you will enjoy this album, no doubt. In fact, a few of the tracks sounded so Dragonforce-like, I had to look up to see if their lead guitarist played on this. (I don't think he did.) There were some things I didn't like, like when they lean into the death metal with the growling stuff, and some of the machine gun kick drumming. Otherwise, this is a high energy, pretty enjoyable album, and fills a specific niche I suppose. I see this has a relatively low average rating here, and I understand. This band is kind of sneered at by a lot of metalheads, and I understand why, but I'm not one of them.
