Diorama

Deloused in the Comatorium
4.  Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Slipknot (Special Package Int'L)
5.  Slipknot (Special Package Int'L) by Slipknot

Through the Ashes of Empires

Buy Now... Saved Later

Polythene
8.  Polythene by Feeder

Daisies of the Galaxy

Punk In Drublic

The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait For Something Wild
18.  The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait For Something Wild by Sikth
