Brace yourself. It's in an entirely other dimension.

Totally agree. Here's my A.V. Club reviews of both, in case you hadn't seen 'em…

Yeah, it's good, and a little crustier than your typical neo-thrash (ugh, I did it again). Definitely better than, um, Darkest Hour…

In case you haven't seen it, the new Coliseum video just surfaced. I'm a diehard fan of these guys — the first time I saw them live they opened for From Ashes Rise, and they made FAR look like some high school band — and I can't wait for their new one.

I can't shut up about this new CTTS album. The more I listen, the more I just want to stay there. Currently 'Prefaced By The Signal Fires' is my favorite track. Five and half minutes, and it feels like five and a half hours. In a good way.

I get your point, but thrash DID go away, by and large, for many years. Than a bunch of new kids came along and started dressing, playing, and acting exactly as if the previous 20 years hadn't happened. By every definition of a musical revival, that is one. I also don't see the word as a pejorative. It's pretty…

Hey all, sorry about the Radiohead fuck-up. Totally meant to equate Kid A with Relationship Of Command, which did indeed come out four months earlier in '00. Wires crossed, I'm a dummy, etc. It's being corrected shortly. You may now return to calling me a moron for entirely different reasons.

Here's something interesting… http://www.youtube.com/watc…

You're not very bright, are you?

My pleasure. (Oh, and in case you didn't know, Matt Borlik of Q And Not U was once an A.V. Club city editor!)

If you comb back through our archives, you'll see that quite a few of us music writers here at The A.V. Club — myself most definitely included — are very passionate about Dischord (and Dischord-related) bands. But we have a very limited number of review slots per week, so we don't always get to cover everything we…

FYI: Popping up soon will be a separate, year-end Top 20 list for mine and John Semley's Loud column. It will cover 2012's best albums from the heavier end of the spectrum (metal, punk, hardcore). Not sure exactly when it'll be published, but keep an eye out for it if you're so inclined.

Dead Meadow is intermittently awesome, with Shivering King being my favorite. More of a heavy psychedelic band than anything else (granted, that's a fine distinction), which is something I love when done well.

Didn't care for either. Not a fan of Wintersun at all, and while I like Enslaved, this new one was a letdown for me (especially after Sleeping Gods, which I praised here in Loud last year). In any case, the column is a list of the albums we liked the most in the previous month — so if either John or I didn't like it…
