Johnny Marr The Messenger New Voodoo It’s hard to believe but Johnny Marr has never released a proper solo album. After leaving the Smiths in 1987, he chose the route of collaborator; working as a member with such bands as The The and Modest Mouse since. He also spent the 90s partnering in such supergroups as Electronic with Bernard Summer from New Order. But after 25 years of collaborations and […]
KMFDM Kunst Metropolis KMFDM doesn’t offer anything new on their latest album Kunst, but it doesn’t need to. The band continues it’s persistent onslaught of hard-hitting industrial rock with mostly solid results. The pulsating beats and jagged guitar riffs of the title track and the industrial keyboard fervor of “Ave Maria” are highlights, while they pay a tribute to the jailed Russian feminist punk trio, Pussy Riot, on the song […]
Mac Miller Watching Movies With The Sound Off Rostrum Records, Universal Mac’s a guy who seems like he’s done a lot of LSD, and if there’s one thing that tells me besides everything, it’s that he knows musical atmosphere and he’s definitely got it. Check out the video for “Gees” if you want to see what I mean. Watching Movies… has a seamless sonically interesting flow beginning to end. He […]
Stone Sour The House Of Gold And Bones Part 2 Roadrunner Records Reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s classic The Wall, House of Gold and Bones Part 2 is much different than its predecessor released last year which seemed more like another hard rock album whereas this has more of a theatrical soundtrack feel to it. “Red City” starts the album off with front man and Stone Sour mastermind Corey Taylor narrating […]
Middle Class Rut Pick Your Head Up Bright Antenna A sophomore album is always a risky proposition. It’s a balancing act; a band has to stay true to the “sound” they developed on their first offering, lest they alienate the fans tuning back in for more of what they know and love, but at the same time, they have to exhibit some musical growth, or else the music snobs and […]
The Flaming Lips The Terror Warner Bros. With the oddly-twisted synths and bass-driven rhythms that dominated 2009’s Embryonic, the Flaming Lips made the first step away from the bright psychedelic pop and splendor that dominated every record since their 1999 magnum opus, The Soft Bulletin. And while those records always had themes of melancholy and death, they were mixed with celebrations of love and life. Embryonic may have hinted a […]
The Misfits Dea.d. Alive Misfits Records The Misfits continue their fiendish rule with their live album, Dea.d. Alive. Recorded in the center of Times Square in New York on All Hallows’ Eve of 2012, the Misfits unleashed their ghoulish persona unto the masses. Their raw live performances of the 14-track album are proof that The Misfits’ legacy lives on. The first seven songs are from their 2011 album The Devil’s […]
Sound City: Real To Reel Sound City: Real To Reel RCA I came into this album with an open mind, not totally sure what to expect. Knowing that Dave Grohl, who in my mind is the most powerful individuals in music today, is the backbone of this album and the associated movie I was hoping for something special. With an all-star cast of amazing, experienced musicians and singers, the creativity […]
