When All Is Said And Done

When All Is Said And Done is 56 songs of post-grunge, alt-rock and modern hard rock that lean emotional. It opens with Trapt’s “When All Is Said And Done,” then moves through Death Cab for Cutie’s “Black Sun,” AWOLNATION’s “Passion,” Jimmy Eat World’s “Bleed American” and Bad Wolves’ heavy cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie.”

Highly Suspect, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pop Evil, AWOLNATION, Royal Blood, Tantric and Stone Temple Pilots each appear twice. Jonny Lang’s bluesy “Lie to Me” and Shaman’s Harvest’s “In Chains” bring some soulful grit, while Tantric’s “Down And Out” captures the moody core of the list. It’s music for processing things: big riffs, heavy hearts and choruses that feel like letting go. Good for a long drive alone, a workout where you need to burn off some feelings or a late night when you’re thinking about everything that’s happened. When it’s all said and done, this playlist will still be there to turn up loud.
