Hi and die

EPs and other shitlike stuff worth mentioning:

Electric Wizard and Reverend Bizarre - The House On The Borderland
Very nice, indeed. Btw. I can't see the reason for Reverend Bizarre here.

Blind Guardian - Sacred

Digital Mystikz - Shake Up Your Demons
Perfect playing with rhythm.

The Field - Sound of Light
Fortunately, right now I am surrounded by nature. Without it this piece of music is useless.

Burial - Remixes
I'm not interested in new versions of old Burial's pieces. But Wayfaring Stranger and "And it rained all night" keep me in strong conviction that this guy is still a master.

LPs:

3/10
Thursday and Envy Split
I regret every single second of listening to it.

Coma - Hipertrofia
Jak zachwyca, kiedy nie zachwyca? Szeroko dostępny ochandach omija mnie szczęściem równie szerokim łukiem. Od zapomnienia wypada ocalić:
Osobowy

Madonna - Hard Candy

Moonspell - Night Eternal
Once, upon a time I used to love this band. And believe me - I am sentimental.

4/10
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band
- 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons
Call me deaf, if you want. I still can't get through.

Elvenking - Two Tragedy Poets
Same story as Moonspell, but... I like'em more.

Quantec - Thousands Of Thoughts

Pyramaze -Immortal
Even Matt Barlow can't save this piece of... something.

5/10
Steve Kilbey -Painkiller
Wasted talent, but some parts are impressive.

Opeth - Watershed
Some people shouldn't play some things.

Metallica - Death Magnetic
Riffs give me electric shivers. Compositions make me sick. 50/50 then

52 dębiec - Deep Hans
Wystawiając tę ocenę czuję jednak pewną przykrość. Płyta chyba miała być smutna i dojrzała. No i jest, ale tylko smutna. Plus za płytę na necie i sample wokalne, tudzież wszelkie zaśpiewy w podkładach - na mnie robią wrażenie.

Iced Earth - The Crucible Of Man
Even Matt Barlow can't save this piece of... something. Just kidding of course. There's something fresh about this album and according to it I am longing for another one.

Disturbed - Indestructible

Hey. This is where nice music starts.
6/10
Fokus - Alfa i Omega
Największy tegoroczny przegrany. Płyta nierówna jak tynk pod mikroskopem. I nie, nie mam nic do skitów, co więcej bardzo mi się podobają. Teksty zachwycają i teksty odstręczają. Na szczęście nie można powiedzieć złego słowa o technice i większości podkładów. Album okroiłbym do skitów i: Lista ,Lajt , Spacer , Super Sayian , Przetrwasz

Dead Emotions - Pathways To Catharsis
They told me that this is nice piece of death metal. They were so wrong.

Ania Dąbrowska - W Spodniach Czy W Sukience
Jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony. Krążek może nieco monotonny, ale z przyjemnością wysłuchałbym jego fragmentów po włączeniu radia.


Evergrey - Torn
Can't figure out why they comitted this thing. Mix literally heavy melodic music with gaylike vocals (sorry Tom and don't worry cause you're still my master :] ). The weakest Evergrey ever.

The Mars Volta - Bedlam In Goliath
At least better than the previous one...

Bauhaus - Go Away White

Kyrck - Cherno
Great idea is not enough.

Portishead - Third
This is not a rate. This is a punishment.

Eagles of Death Metal - Heart On

7/10

Zeus - Co Nie Ma Sobie Równych
Za wyśmienity klimat i dobór sampli. Teksty trafiają dopiero wtedy, gdy podkręcę sobie poZiom w sobie. Bardzo pozytywny krążek - biję brawo z szerokim uśmiechem i czekam na więcej.
I byłbym zapomniał: Chce Ciebie

Belleruche - The Express
Very nice and relaxing and joyfoul and dancing and thebasslinesaresopleasant.

Blood Ceremony - Blood Ceremony

The Accidental - There Were Wolves
My perfect setting for falling asleep. Nice and gentle.

Anathema - Hindsight
Reminds me about two things:
1. How good can be this band. - Leave No Trace
2. How deep can they fall.
Quite educative then.

Warrel Dane - Praises to the War Machine

Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull
Sounds are extending and extending... Love it ;]

Karl Hector & The Malcouns - Sahara Swing
Wicked thing - try it as soon as it's possible.

Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist

Nomo - Ghost Rock
Try "Brainwave" here

Giant Sand - Provisions
1st thought - Hey, he can't sing omg lol rotfl lmao and so on...
2nd thought - Hey... they can play.
3rd though - Hey, they can play and he can sing.
Buzzing pieces of country, jazz and blues.

Prurient - Time Began in a Garden

Novalis Deux - Ghosts Over Europe
Too weak for 8, too strong for 6. Rome can show you how to play it properly.

Manilla Road - Voyager
Let's say that I am satisfied.

Jarboe - Mahakali
Let's say that I am not satisfied.

In Ruin - A Ghost To Be Forgotten
Clever combination of well-known neofolk bands and projects.

The Herbaliser - Same As It Never Was

Grails - Take Refuge In Clean Living

8/10
Deadbeat - Roots and Wire
Inspiring.

Lunatic Soul - Lunatic Soul
I have a feeling that this cd was written and recorded by wrong man.
It should have been done by J. M. Keenan.

Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling
At last.

Thievery Corporation - Radio Retaliation
What can I say? They're just classy.

Melvins -Nude With Boots
They know the art of making only good albums.

Meat Beat Manifesto - Autoimmune

Headhunter - Nomad
The creatures of Abyssal zone listen to this album.

The Black Angels - Directions To See A Ghost
Trippy shit...

Woven Hand - Ten Stones
Good and solid.

Ufomammut - Idolum
Good and solid.

A Storm of Light - And We Wept The Black Ocean Within

Scott Kelly - The Wake
Played from the bottom of his heart I suppose. Some sounds, simply sounds are really intresting or rather striking.

This Will Destroy You - This Will Destroy You
I am NOT destroyed. Good and solid.

Rome - Masse Mensch Material
Surrounding. Romantic.

O.S.T.R. - Ja tu tylko sprzątam
Niby perfekcja, a perfekcja to taka podła, zimna suka...

Lair of the Minotaur - War Metal Battle Master

Laibach - Laibachkunstderfuge
"Like Bach for machines"
Oh my God - she's so smart. Thank you.

The Fantomas Melvins Big Band - Millennium Monster Work
Fucked up enough to interest me.

Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
I enjoy and look forward to the lighter side of the band.

Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles
Fun and more fun. Much more fun. More than you expect.

Contemporary Noise Sextet - Unaffected Thought Flow

Contemporary Noise Quartet - Theatre Play Music
Cause the rhythm section makes this band so special.

Made Out of Babies - The Ruiner
This is... correct.

Meshuggah - obZen
Meditative.

Murder by Death - Red of Tooth and Claw
This one is the example of perfect light rock album. I pay homage to you boys.

9/10
Matt Elliot - Howling Songs
Rezső Seress of the 21st century.

Ocoai - Breatherman
My private discovery.

Volbeat - Guitar Gangsters And Cadillac Blood
The most enjoyable album of the year.

Hail of Bullets - Of Frost And War
Volume up!!!

Clark - Turning Dragon
Oh. My. God.
This thing is hard and hard is not a level of difficulty. Hard means heavy and pounding like forty tons pumpjack. Nocking on your head and asking: have you gone out already?
Try this .

Lao Che - Gospel
Dlaczego nie 10? Bo nie smyra dostatecznie po neuronach. Poza tym wszystko perfekcyjnie.

Autechre - Quaristice
Puzzling.

Afro Kolektyw - Połącz kropki
Najzabawniejsza płyta roku = pełen luz i odjazd.

Across Tundras - Western Sky Ride
I am really sorry for you guys. You get close to the genius for inches.

5ive - Hesperus
I've been waiting for so long to hear the playing on THIS level.

Gojira - The Way Of All Flesh
From Mars to Sirius was just "The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe". Don't get confused by the first song title "Oroborus" - they definitely don't devour their own tail ;]
Try this and get smashed.

Russian Circles - Station
Dynamic and better than the 1st one - what seemed to be impossible ;]

Shearwater -Rook
I admire the sensitivity.

Steve Von Till - A Grave Is A Grim Horse
So beautiful...

Textures - Silhouettes

L.U.C - Planet L.U.C

Burst - Lazarus Bird
I hear a lot of Mastodon in it, but still awesome and mindblowing. Heavy and spatial enough.

10/10 (these albums don't need any recommendation ;] )
Intronaut - Prehistoricisms

Gaiser - Blank Fade

dEUS - Vantage Point

Black Mountain - In The Future

Roszja I Lu - Przez Ścianę
