| 2 | Trementina | "Please, Let's Go Away" | single | Uplifting, borderline-uplooking Chilean shoegaze. |
| 3 | TeraBrite | "Heavy" | single | Embarrassing to be a nu metal band who has to have a Youtube cover-duo make your song "Heavy" actually be heavy. |

| 7 | No Joy | "Hellhole" | Creep - EP 4 | Sometimes you know from the band name, song title and cover art exactly what the music is going to sound like. But not always. |
| 8 | Kindling | "Someday Soon" | No Generation 6 | Sometimes your transits stall pensively behind lumbering dreams, |
| 9 | Funeral Advantage | "The Hanging Cage" | Please Help Me - EP 6 | and then wriggle free. |
| 10 | Bloodbound | "Tears of a Dragonheart" | War of Dragons | Dragons. Metal. |
| 11 | Place Vendome | "Falling Star" | Close to the Sun | You may think you need re-recorded versions of heroic pop-metal anthems of your youth, but you really do not. |
| 12 | Ayreon | "Everybody Dies" | single | Mood dissonance: florid, expansive power-metal epic about total hopeless nihilism. |
| 13 | Sinner | "Tequila Suicide" | single | Or a bounding party-metal romp about terminal alcoholism. |
| 14 | Lionville | "I Will Wait" | A World of Fools | Kansas, I've a feeling we're not in Toto anymore. |
| 15 | Art Nation | "The Real Me" | single | But that's no reason to assume that a foreigner |
| 16 | Unruly Child | "Sunlit Sky" | Can't Go Home | will make bad company on your journey. |
| 17 | Born Of Osiris | "Rosecrance" | The Eternal Reign | Styx wasted a perfectly good death-metal name, |
| 18 | Death Come Cover Me | "Let Me Love You" | Let Me Love You +1 | but there is always room for more in the underworld, |

| 21 | Arca | "Piel" | single | It takes patience to fabricate in the mist world. |
| 22 | Sigha | "Down" | Metabolism | And a comprehensive familiarity with the zoning rules, |
| 23 | Grebenstein | "Gloss" | Gloss +3 | and the properties of corrosion. |

| 25 | Uneven Structure | "Incube" | single | Is there a version of yoga with sharp swords? This would be good for that. |
| 26 | Nightrage | "In Abhorrence" | single | The yoga part, of course, is hard to do in armor, and thus not strictly neccessary. |
| 27 | Vitja | "Heavy Rain" | single | Studies have shown that you get exactly the same karmic benefits from screaming in righteous rage, |
| 28 | Petroglyphs | "Veil (Unmasked)" | single | unprovoked, |
| 29 | Disperse | "Stay" | Foreword | when the math indicates. |
| 30 | Felix Martin | "Cosmo Basket" | Mechanical Nations | The manifest destiny of progress arises from the inherent way technique transcends inherited constraints. |
| 31 | Skyfire | "Ungeteilt" | single | The serpents only look like serpents when you're too hungry to think of anything but danger. |

| 36 | Celldweller | "Electric Eye" | Electric Eye +1 | when you let the robots join your side. |
| 37 | RichaadEB | "Strike the Earth" | single | Look: until the dragons come, none of this mild disarray qualifies as actual carnage. |
| 38 | Little Jinder | "Kvicksand" | single | If you think Sweden has problems, you're right, because there are problems everywhere there's music, |
| 39 | Linnea Olsson | "Gone" | For Show 5 | everywhere there's people or air. |
| 40 | FO&O | "Gotta Thing About You" | single | I've long suspected the air is the fundamental problem, because you never hear about rising crime-rates in airless towns. |
| 41 | Junius | "A Mass for Metaphysicians" | single | But the corrupt weasels in the government will never fund my giant air-removal machine. |
| 42 | Daniel Kvammen | "Ingenmannsland" | Vektlaus | Fucking Big Air. No wonder things never get fixed. |

| 48 | AAA | "WAY OF GLORY" | WAY OF GLORY | You can't make walls out of bodies if they won't stop dancing, |
| 49 | BiS | "If tomorrow comes" | Re:STUPiD | and won't stop making those chirpy not-dying noises. |
| 50 | BIGHEAD | "Reharmony" | Relove | We fortified to stop the robots shaped like boxy fanged camels, because that's what they looked like in movies, |
| 51 | Utsu-P | "ブラック・ショータイム" | Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder | and they showed up looking like teenage girls who move faster than we can shift stones. |
| 52 | Blondie | "My Monster" | single | And they came in and stood behind us and tapped us on our shoulders instead of cutting off our heads. |
| 53 | Benighted | "Reptilian" | Necrobreed (Deluxe) | And cutting off our heads does kind of seem like the easier approach, |
| 54 | Little Big Town | "Night On Our Side" | The Breaker | but if you don't settle for the easy destructive cop-outs, |
| 55 | Trollfest | "Hen of Hades" | Helluva | you get a pagan ball instead of a tedious hazmat cleanup. |
| 56 | Fjoergyn | "Lucifer Es" | Lucifer Es | How about this: for every new toxin you want to release, you have to clean up two existing ones? |

| 59 | Stormzy | "Cold" | Gang Signs & Prayer | What kind of miserable coward has their own plane but only uses it to go where there are golf courses? |
| 60 | Jammz | "Hit Then Run" | single | There's a reason your daughter's business "makes" rebranded non-essentials. |

| 62 | Methyl Ethel | "L'heure des Sorcières" | single | That's what you taught her. |
| 63 | Slingshot Dakota | "Grudge" | Broken 2 | You taught her to use your name to avoid responsibility. |
| 64 | Deforesters | "The Topiary Animals Are Telling Me to Do Terrible Things" | Leonard | What's she going to do after you've bled it of this power? |
| 65 | Mobina Galore | "Start All Over" | Feeling Disconnected | What are the people who believed in you going to do after you finally declare your moral bankruptcy? |

| 69 | Koffi Olomide | "Nyataquance - Koffi Trump" | single | It ends in rueful cartoons and cliché. |
| 70 | Second to Sun | "Alyoshenka" | single | It ends with everything you care about fallen, |
| 71 | Blaudzun | "Outside The Lights Of The City" | single | and burned in tiny bonfires people won't even toast s'mores over, because they make the marshmallows taste like hair. |

| 73 | Light of the Morning Star | "Black Throne Ascension" | Cemetery Glow 3 | Most pathetically, you are not even monstrous. |

| 76 | Road | "Újra nézz rám" | Tizenhét | Reversion to the mean, you know? This is why immigration alwys works better than inbreeding. |
| 77 | Robyn Hitchcock | "Mad Shelley's Letterbox" | single | So they're going to figure you out. |
| 78 | ASC | "Solar Reaction" | Zone of Avoidance | Probably they figured you out long ago, of course. But it's going to get to the point where they're going to have to admit what they know. |
| 79 | Marakesh | "Try Heart" | 199X (Deluxe Version) | You thought an unsecured email server and a live mic on a set-trailer were bad? |
