Some of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands (local, too) wrapped up into one with an awesome extra song thrown in. Definite 5 stars.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;27731601]I dunno I disagree with you on the topic of Horizons. It's a really good album, I think. Definitely better than most.[/QUOTE]

Better that most isn't good enough when it comes to modern/melodic metalcore
There's bound to be some good somewhere in that shithole of a genre

Pretty much this and in absentia were the golden age of porcupine tree songwriting. You just can't beat this album.

[Reset Panda]

Porcupine Tree could take a recording of burping and make it sound cool.

His lines are just epic
apparently his music gets a bit repetitive after a while...
But I'm loving it for now

Also, Horizons - Parkway Drive, I just love every song
and.. I can't think of any others.

Incredibly well put together album, has you grabbed from start to finish.
Touching melodies coupled with sludgy goodness. One of my favourite albums of all times.
Protip: Focus on the right-panned harmonic guitar, it makes the music twice as enjoyable[/QUOTE]

The song Horizons is an absolute masterpiece imo

Sure, it might just be an EP, but it still has some amazing songs, like Go to Hell, Angry Again, and 99 Ways to Die. I personally don't think there is a single bad song on it.

This in my book disearves a 17/5. For the Fallen Dreams first album Changes is everything I've ever sought for in music everything from the beautiful guitar riffs, Amazing drumming and the powerful vocals. The overall tone from this album is amazing for me, The guitar tone is perfect along with the drums and Andrews kick ass kickdrum sound. This is an album I could listen to forever the song "Changes" is so damned beautiful...

Franz Ferdinand really outdid themselves with this one. Not only was it a fantastic blend of dance music and pop rock (the end of "Lucid Dreams" is golden) it also showed the range in abilities through out the album, often with genre changes mid song.

I give it a 5/5 because it is so goddamn loveable.

As long as you acknowledge that Horizons is a good song, I'm satisfied.

Have a friendly.

That is indeed a weird ass album cover.

Fuck yeah. Every track is brilliant, each has a unique atmosphere, and the album as a whole is a perfect mix of 'Aqualung' and 'This Was', with a dash of 'Benefit'.

[STeel]

To OP - The World Needs A Hero was released in 2001.
Also one album that I'd give 5 stars to would be Warrel Dane's solo album Praises To The War Machine.
Music is not too dull, but yet it manages to be simple enough to highlight Dane's vocals, which are brilliant.
Also the lyrics are very well written.

Not much I can really say about it, but it goes through so many different sounds from front to back, and it's just pure, raw 90's.

[img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xtTqk-rWThQ/S1XTWP4kI_I/AAAAAAAAAl8/IAEiDaWyYto/s400/albumminusband.jpg[/img]

Some of the most frenetic, ridiculous ska ever. Most people probably wouldn't even call it ska, but that's what it is.

[img]http://alternativeclassix.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/08/01/ocean_rain.jpg[/img]

Possibly one of the greatest albums to come out of the 80's. Songs like Crystal Days, Nocturnal Me, and The Killing Moon are beyond amazing.

The Killing Moon blew my mind when I was 12 and watched Donnie Darko <3

Amused to death by Roger Waters

Why? This album contains the Song "It's a Miracle" Which contains this godly verse
"We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lids comes down
And break his fucking fingers
It's a miracle"
Deserving of a fucking plaque on Webber's house
