Rules & Guidelines
1. Respect each others taste in music.  This is meant to be a fun, enjoyable thread to discover new music, thus bashing someone for their music tastes past basic teasing will be an immediate ban from the album club.

2. You have 48 Hours to choose and album and post. I by no means want to assume someone isn't going to circumstances preventing them from posting.  However, the thread shouldn't be derailed for one person alone.  If you get chosen, but won't have time to post, feel free to let me know and your turn will be pushed back until such a time as you're free.  

3. A full 24 hours will be given after someone posts an album for everyone to give it a listen and post to say what they think about it.  Comments on album choices are welcome a few days late of course, but as with rule #2, a delay in being able to sit and listen to an album shouldn't derail the thread.

4. Should a full 48+ hours pass without a valid reason for not posting a song.  You will be removed from the list of members until such a time comes that you are willing to participate on a regular basis.

Well, the first rule needs an exception. Respect everyone's opinions, except for Razors.

Reminds me of early Chiodos mixed in with Mozart Season, two bands I used to like but grew out of as my musical tastes changed and matured. The cleans seem a little "whiney" and over-produced, but the harsh-vocals are good, if not a little underpowered. They sound like just another generic Post-Hardcore/metal-core band and I couldn't get into the lyrics, they seemed somewhat forced. That said, the music is decent, if not a little repetitive (I kept picking up the same beats, the same riffs etc. throughout the album, and the songs really lacked a diverse structure among them). Overall, not my cup of tea unfortunately. 4/10

Great choice. Never heard them before, they sound kinda like Atreyu and Escape the Fate. Or at least to me they do.

Favorites were One Step Away, When the World Stops Spinning, and Lifesaver. Also really liked the last one.

Damn... I'm loving this! Specially Lifesaver Big Grin!

Never heard of these guys, but it was pretty good. Will check out a few other albums they have. 7/10 overall for this band/album.

This group reminds me of Chiodos. Only a bit heavier and the vocalist isn't as epic. I aint bothered Nahhh but really good album. The first four songs were probably my favorite ones.

And the next member to post an album is Rellim!

As per Random.org, Rellim now has 48 hours to pick and post an album. If any reasons exist that prevent him from posting, he is requested to PM me ASAP to make sure timely rotation is maintained.

Though I love the title track Heaven and hell, and the musicianship is phenomenal, I don't think RJD matches up to Ozzy as a vocalist. That said, the album is still good. 7.5/10

This was actually the album I discovered RJD from way back when because my dad asked me what bands I liked (he got me an mp3 player and threw a ton of music on it for my bday years ago) and he threw this on there since I mentioned Sabbath. Funny Still love it myself, I'll never get bored of listening to Heaven and Hell.

I plan on listening to this when I get home. I've been wanting to hear Black Sabbath for a while since I havent heard them since I was a kid. So I guess this is a good time for that.

This might sound like blasphemy, but I prefer RJD Funny. Ozzy is awesome however.

To each their own, I can understand why people prefer RJD to Ozzy. Hell, I only prefer Ozzy because Ozzy's solo stuff is what got me into metal in the first place (then Sabbath, then I went on to listening to Death Metal and whatnot).

I preferred Dio's work in Rainbow an solo more so than his Sabbath stuff.  I think it's just to me, Sabbath is always going to be Ozzy's show, no matter how great Dio was.
