I am a gigantic Lower D fan. Probably my favorite phc band of all time.

But something about this era where they were trying to come back from their 2009 breakup is special. Their sound is a lot less atmospheric and is much more fast paced. Matt's on point with the aggression and harmonies in his vocals alongside the amazing guitar work and drumming. The closest they sounded to this was the Jordan Wark era (a completely different beast).

I'm not saying Tino or the rest of the gang from the main lineup are bad, but there's just something about this era of the band...

Support for Slipknot

There seems to be a compelling overlap of niches here. We are NOT opposed. Title Fight <3

I’ve been a Silverstein fan for ages, but I’d never actually sat down and intentionally listened through their entire discography with the goal of rating everything. Obviously, these ratings are completely subjective, but I thought it would be fun to share them and hopefully get some discussion going.

For this, I stuck to the main releases/albums. I included bonus tracks where applicable, as long as they weren’t covers or alternate versions of songs already on the album. I also combined Antibloom and Pink Moon because, let’s be honest, they’re basically one album.

I’ve been going through all of these albums over the past two months, and I listened to each one from start to finish three times. I wanted to give everything a fair shot and see if any of my ratings changed after repeat listens.

The first image gives an overview of my album ratings, while the second shows my ratings for every individual song.

Overall, I tend to prefer the Boshart era of Silverstein, even though two of my top three albums actually come from the Rousseau era.

The two least memorable albums for me were Rescue and Dead Reflection. They’re not necessarily bad, but a lot of the songs feel a little too similar to each other and tend to blend together for me.

Anyway, what are your favourites? Which albums or songs would you rate completely differently?
