nu en jin: !!!BUY THIS ALBUM!!! I didn't like this album, much, when I first got it. I bought it, because it is a Mortal album. That means you buy it. It was not what I was expecting. Jyro was all growly and heavily distorted. You might not even consider it music. I like every track on here, especially Cloudburst, at the end. Now that is an engrossing song.

juggernautz: !!!BUY THIS ALBUM!!! I wouldn't normally do two buys in one group, but it's really two groups (or that's at least what I tell myself). This is the only Juggernautz album and it is pure gold. I would actually recommend this over Nu-En-Jin simply because more people would like it. It's power-pop-praise. It's very energetic, without being dance music. It has hard moments and soft moments. It's just an all-around excellent work.

king planet: This is a Fold Zandura album, although they decided to rename to FoldZan for some reason. It's pop music, like most of the other FZ tracks. Maybe they got tired of the underground and wanted some radio time. I don't blame them, but you can't just sit and listen to hours of Fold, like you can some other bands. It's good music, but use it as a welcomed break during some hard stuff.

godspeed: This is a Mortal greatest hits cd. It's a pretty good mix if you don't want to buy all their previous ones, although I can still recommend buying Wake.

ultraforever: !!!BUY THIS ALBUM!!! Oops, I did it again, but this time it's for a Fold Zandura album, seriously. This is the one to get, if you're going to get one. It's very well put together (as Jyro is prone to do) and there are drums (did you hear that, drums). The last track, Starwood, uses e-bowed guitars to create an incredibly moody track. It's a great album.

return: Here's another Fold Zandura album. It's good, in it's own right, but it's not Ultraforever.

mortal: This is a Mortal album that I didn't even know I didn't have. I can't really say too much about it, but I do have an mp3 of Scalawag and it's a great song.

fold zandura: This is the debut Fold Zandura album. It's a good quality album. I would say it's the next FZ cd to buy. Dark Divide is a great song.

pura: I thought this was a refreshing change from Mortal's normal style, although a lot of people didn't like it. It's more electronic, and not in the hard way. It's a little dancy, but not too bad. There are some boring songs with chicks singing, though. It's nice to through a track or two between heavier songs.

wake: Some purists don't like this album. I do, though, and I would recommend this be your second Mortal buy. It's not an industrial album. It's a pure, tried-and-true rock album. Paridigm One, Serpent-Teen, and Sold are probably my favourite songs. Sold is one of my favourite Mortal songs of all time. You know, I think they may have even had drums on this album, how novel.

live: I've not heard this release, but I can presume that Mortal would rock pretty hard in concert.

fathom: This was the better of their old music, I think. Alive And Awake (sound familiar?), Neplusultra, and Rift are all cool songs. Neplusultra has Marc Solomon of Crucified and Stavesacre fame doing his thing.

lusis: I feel bad for bands that have to start out as wannabe's. But, there are a lot of times when they get a good run afterwards. Tom Jones was a wannabe, after all, and he rocks. This was a bit too Skinny Puppy, but it still had good songs. You'd be better served to buy Godspeed, though, unless you wanted the collection.

wish fifteen: Before being Mortal, they were Mortal Wish. They release one tape (TAPE!!!). I don't really know anything about it, but here's a picture of the j-card.
