So, seeing that Bare has given me the amazing oppourtunity to be the Hardcore/Metalcore reviewer, i guess this section of the forum is mine!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA... Just kidding.But i thought i would give everyone my 2005 year in review. Before... you know, new years hits, and we gotta start a bunch of stuff all over again...... like our daytimers.
Pluses:
As I Lay Dying-Shadows Are Security
The Bled-Found In The Flood
Avenged Sevenfold-City Of Evil
Darkest Hour-Undoing Ruin
Death By Stereo-Death For Life
The Esoteric-With The Sureness Of Sleepwalking
From Autumn To Ashes-Abandon Your Friends
The Hurt Process-
Thrice-Vheissu (does this album even count though?)
Minuses
The Fully Down-Don't Get Lost In A Movement
Stutterfly
A Perfect Murder-Murder Through Vengeance (reinventing yourself can be a bitch)
A plethora of screamo acts signed to victory records (silverstein. hawthorne heights)
My Chemical Romance being labeled as a hardcore band.
Chappelle Show being cancelled. DAMMIT!
I will update this, as it's getting late, and i can't rmember the rest of the minuses. If i missed stuff, let me know, and i will update.
This Year had some great releases, and some major flops. Let's hope the new releases within the next 6 months will prove to be some good ones.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and CHEERS!!!!
Brett
