 | In Absentia by Porcupine Tree
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.72 Prog-rock masterpiece. It succeeds where peers don't.
|
 | By the Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.68 Their 8th studio album is my favorite, although it's pretty close between the completely different "Mother's Milk."
|
 | One Beat by Sleater-Kinney
Buy new: $16.68 / Used from: $1.57 My introduction to the group and still my favorite. Yeah, I like it even more than "Dig Me Out."
|
 | Futureperfect by VNV Nation
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $3.78 Amazing "futurepop" industrial with some of the coolest futurist lyrics I've heard in awhile. Unfortunately, my only VNV album thus far.
|
 | Knock Knock Knock by Hot Hot Heat
Buy used from: $0.01 Better than the full-length debut, actually. But that's good too.
|
 | Irony Is a Dead Scene by Dillinger Escape Plan
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.83 Dillinger + Mike Patton = out of this world. And that's what you get. Plus an Aphex Twin cover.
|
 | Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age
Buy new: $11.68 / Used from: $2.75 Great band, great album. More crazy than last time, even if less trippy.
|
 | Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.98 Nice way to follow up a masterpiece. Not as good as "The Soft Bulletin," but still amazing.
|
 | The Eminem Show by Eminem
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.97 One of my favorite Em albums. The added maturity is something that I welcomed personally.
|
 | One by One by Foo Fighters
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.50 Yes, me likey. My second favorite Foo album after "The Colour and the Shape."
|
 | Original Pirate Material by Streets
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $1.21 UK rapper writes some interesting stuff in here. Also with an electronic touch.
|
 | Make Up the Breakdown by Hot Hot Heat
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.01 I don't enjoy it as much as I did in my junior & senior years of high school, but it's still excellent.
|
 | 30 Seconds to Mars by 30 Seconds to Mars
Buy new: $6.93 / Used from: $3.24 I know, they're huge now. The new record's good, but this is closer to a sound that I would desire from Leto & the boys.
|
 | Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.49 And they breakthrough with this leaked album that gave them a new record label home, and now people love 'em.
|
 | Highly Evolved by The Vines
Buy used from: $0.01 Yeah, so the hype didn't turn out what it was expected to be. Still, I enjoyed this debut from the Aussie "garage" rockers.
|
 | Untouchables by Korn
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.88 It's clear the the '90's was their peak, but this is still good. In spite a few clunkers.
|
 | The Illusion of Safety by Thrice
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.29 I know it's great, but I can't get myself to like it as much as their others honestly. I even like "Identity Crisis" a bit more. Those albums had more standouts and were more distinguishable.
|
 | Superstarved by Gravity Kills
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $1.97 And so I STILL like to give the guys the benefit of the doubt, even if doing so now is irrelevant. More of a live-sounding record, and while not as inspired as they were at first, fine enough.
|
 | Maladroit by Weezer
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.98 The group's worst album, possibly released for compensation of the overdue Green Album, which is way better. It's ok, but avoid if you're a casual fan.
