More Honorable Mentions

Yeah, so my last post didn't have that many under my favorite albums list. Like I said before, I don't really like typing reviews or doing "best of's" because I hate typing all that shit. But they're more albums that I listened to that at least deserve an honorable mention. Here they are:

Skeletonwitch "Breathing the Fire"
Prosthetic Records

This band is cool. "Beyond the Permafrost" was cool. And anything that blends Thrash & Black Metal is alright with me. Fast as fuck & catchy melodies for that ass. If you like old school Kreator (Endless Pain, Pleasure to Kill) where Mille is singing on the tracks, you'll love this.



Baroness "Blue Record"
Relapse Records

I was hugely disappointed in this. This album coming from a band who wrote the "Red Album"? (gotta love the colour theme) Anyway, the "Red Album" was so damn good & this album is just alright. Still, it's worth a mention, mainly for two tracks, "The Sweetest Curse" & "Swollen & Halo"(listen for the amazing bassline) & the artwork which is just phenomonal! I don't know, maybe I'm the idiot & everyone else who loved it is right.



Dark Funeral "Angelus Exuro pro Eternus"
Regain Records

This would have been number six if I had the energy & brain capacity to type nifty little words. It also would have been number five if Marduk hadn't released a more experimental black metal album. Everything works here. The album just flows of pure Black Metal. No experimenting, no filler, just fast songs. Recommend "The End of Human Race" & "Stigmata"



Job for A Cowboy "Ruination"
Metal Blade Records

This is a good album. This probably would have been number seven. Sure, some may think the songs run-on & all sound the same but this is the first Death Metal record from the band & that means this band has progressed from just simple "deathcore" (I still haven't come to terms with that title) Two songs that stand out for me "Unfurling of A Darkened Gospel" & "March for Global Enslavement." Great guitar work & the drumming is insane. The political & anti-media lyrics that run through the album don't hurt neither.


Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School...... "The Audacity of Hype"
Alternative Tentacles Records

Whether it's the Dead Kennedys or his spoken word albums, Jello always makes you think & makes you laugh. Still going strong & he's what, 50 now?! And shows no sign of letting up. Plus, Guantanamo School are damn good with their instruments. Worth checking out. C'mon, it's Jello! There's always room.


I think that's all that I've listened to? I was thinking of doing a post about the shittiest albums of 2009 but I thought.......nah. I thought I'd rather not receive hate comments for being a "hater." (I never understood how having an opinion & expressing is hating on someone's art) If you suck, you suck; If you're good, you're good. Anyway, thanks for reading!
