01) Every Time I Die – Radical (Reprise)
Every Time I Die is twenty-three years into their lustrous career and still writing high-energy albums built with heavy hooks, crushing riffs, and crafty lyrics. Their ninth studio album, Radical, contains the fist-clenching vigor of their early hardcore days while also displaying a highly-developed level of mature depth within their lyrics and musicianship. This album includes a wide variety of styles and helps paint the picture of the colossal force that is Every Time I Die. The entire album is great and there is no track that doesn’t get me immediately excited and invested. Every Time I Die gets the honor of being my number 1 album of 2021. Read my full review here!
