Outside of the top 4, this was a really tough list for me to come up with, because so many good CDs came out last year. I think this is my top 10 though...can't be completely positive, but I think this is it.

So I've heard a lot of good things about the new In Flames album from you guys here, but a friend of mine who's been a huge fan of them for years and has all their albums says it's crap. I don't know who to believe!

 

[BasX]

It is crap IF you compare it to their other works. But In Flames still owns. He'll agree to that i know.

 

[Moo2K4]

I'm sure he's still a fan of theirs, he just thought that their last album was garbage for the most part. I think the one song he liked was the one in Madden.

On a sidenote, I'm shocked I haven't been blasted for having Paramore in my top 5...

I love Paramore, I won't blast you for that.

Paramore = fail

 

[BasX]

Paramore = fail

Good explanation...

 

[Moo2K4]

Paramore = fail

How so? Just curious as to why you dislike them.

Also, to add some honorable mentions to my list:

3 Doors Down - 3 Doors Down
Bullet for my Valentine - Scream, Aim, Fire
Black Tide - Light From Above
Trapt - Only Through the Pain
Staind - The Illusion of Progress
Rev Theory - Light It Up

Paramore makes catchy music, but its not necessarily very well thought out. Lyrically its teenage angsty crying about boys other 15 year old subjects. I mean its just not my cup of tea, but thats my reason.
