Letters Home - Defeater

Defeater is the band you want to listen to if you're into good melodic hardcore with some solid meaning behind every song, or if you want to curl up in a ball and cry.  Don't get me wrong, I do like Defeater, but if you're in a bad mood and you start listening to them you're probably going to end up crying.  Last summer at TIHC when Defeater played a speech in between songs was enough to cause the entire crowd of people to get absolutely silent and to tear up.  Really solid music written by some really solid musicians, and really depressing lyrics written by a really depressed dude. -Ian (I keep forgetting to sign my name)

Atrocities - Take It Back!

This album probably brings me the most nostalgic memories of any hardcore album.  This is probably the first album that I ever listened to that I'd consider melodic hardcore.  Another huge first of this album is even though it's technically a Christian hardcore album it is still widely appreciated by everyone including me.  I don't know what it is about Christian music but it always bores the hell out of me.  This album I could listen to a million times though.  I don't think that there has been a band since Take It Back that has brought as much passion to music and I don't know if there will be for a long time.  Because they were never a huge band there's a good chance that you never listened to this album and if that's the case change it right now.  Although they may not be together anymore, their music needs to survive for a long time.

Tracklist

1. The Beginning. Nothing.

2. New Empire

4. Hollow Eyes

5. A Reason To Scream

6. What We're Fighting For

The Difference Between Hell And Home - Counterparts

Counterparts quickly rose to the top of melodic hardcore years ago but their last album The Difference Between Hell And Home really confirmed that they are the best in the genre.  There is nothing not to like about this album for any fan of the genre or anyone who genuinely likes impressive musicians.  Counterparts has been through a string of different drummers but all of them have remained impressive and solid and that is no exception with their new drummer.  Counterparts has also always really impressed me with their guitar work.  All melodic hardcore bands find cool little riffs to make their music sound "pretty" but with every new Counterparts album I find myself sitting next to my speakers listening and thinking "how the fuck are they playing that."  This is by far their best album in my opinion and I believe that it will be remembered as one of the pinnacles of melodic hardcore.  

Tracklist

1. Lost

2. Ghost

3. Debris

4. Outlier

5. Witness

6. Decay
