The latter half of the list has had some movement with NOFX and Bouncing Souls overtaking Taking Back Sunday and Silverstein respectively.

Other interesting releases cracking the top five for last week include Dragonforce's reverent retro-metal on Inhuman Rampage and the Warriors RATM-inspired hardcore.

A number of more traditional punk rock albums did quite well the week of June 6th, including The Bouncing Souls' Gold Record, Patent Pendings WPO-debut, Save Each Other, The Whales Are Doing Fine, The Methadones 21st Century Power Pop Riot and the Warped Tour compilation.

Victory's "super-tuesday" resulted in 4 of the five best debuts last week, with albums from Silverstein, Sleeping, Junior Varsity and the Forecast all making strong showings.
