By an Amazon.com customer
World WaitsWorld Waits by Jeremy Enigk
Buy used from: $5.22
His latest solo album captures his thoughts on modern life and love in beautifully conceptual lyrics with slow, throbbing melodies and stunning climaxes using a meriad of instrumental styles.
BoxerBoxer by The National
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $6.99
beautiful and depressing folk songs turned rock. Slow and dirty melodies are complemented by a deep monotonal voice.
Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. LeadingAct II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading by The Dear Hunter
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $11.35
A very experimental album and the second of its kind by The Dear Hunter. It may sound like a little bit of everything while not sounding like anything. It tells a story throughout but each song offers something completely different and unique. The most intriguing lyrics and song structures I've ever heard.
On Letting GoOn Letting Go by Circa Survive
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.69
Trance-like rock. Excelent drumming and high-pitched vocals combined with unheard-of, extremely fluid guitar rifts. Like water flowing over bits of metal and glass.
No World For TomorrowNo World For Tomorrow by Coheed and Cambria
Buy used from: $3.95
Co&Ca's latest album shows how far they've matured since their beginning. A good mix of slower songs and fast paced rockers as well as the contrast of dark and upbeat styles. You can expect, as always, the dark, artistic lyrics and their signature guitar (with a handful of excelent solos)
M(US)icM(US)ic by Damiera
Buy used from: $0.38
Extremely fast-paced and upbeat prog rock. Enthusiastic drumming and insane guitar rifts give listeners a non stop, pick-me-up adrenaline rush.
About a Burning FireAbout a Burning Fire by Blindside
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01
Heavy and, at times upbeat, grunge rock with a little something extra that the rest of the genre was missing. A good amount of screaming and epic, headbanging moments but not in the senseless manner as many bands have done. Blindside's screaming is made into a beautiful compliment to the music.
FortressFortress by Protest the Hero
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.95
The best screaming vocals are found in this crazy fast paced screamo/metal band. Thats not all this band has to offer however. Never in ur life will you hear guitar and drumming put together so well at this speed. If you need something to go completely nuts to this is it!
