Fairly decent list in my opinion. There's a lot I haven't heard, but all the stuff on there that I have is good. Only complaint is the lack of Yellow Eyes

MetalCoresades

Ive listened to like 4 of those. Pallbearer doesnt deserve top 3 imo

...

Everyone at decibel gets hard for post metal. I like the Pallbearer record tho. 

Also I never even realised Paradise Lost put out anything new. 

MetalCoresades

Its ok, but a HUGE step back from the first two

MenAreTrash

I thought it was better than the second, but not as good as the first. 

FLAT

No tbdm

Cuz they aint good

...

melodeath > average metalcore

MenAreTrash

well duh, average metalcore is just bastardized melodeath 

...

I'm just saying cause even though tbdm aren't the greatest thing ever, i'll still take them over bands like Trivium any day. 

MetalCoresades

Good music is good music. Good metalcore is better than shitty melodeath. 

MenAreTrash

>trivium good
>tbdm shitty

inb4 lil b

...

Trivium are mediocre metalcore tho. Good/decent metalcore, for me, is old Killswitch, first 3 ATR records, first 4 AILD records, older LoG, 'The Curse' by Atreyu etc. But even then, every solid metalcore band has put out a shit album at some point.

You realize how redundant that statement in itself is right?

MetalCoresades

If you dont think Trivium is on par with the first three ATR albums and KSE, you need to listen to them again.

Also Shadows Fall >>>>>>>>

...

Shadows Fall was consistently solid, but i don't think they ever had *the* album that would put them on top. Ascendancy is the best Trivium record. Fall Of Ideals > Ascendancy.
