Justin currie – what is love for

October 20th 2009 | Posted by admin

No, this is not a philosophical look at just what that perplexing feeling is for, but the review of an album by a talented Scottish singer/songwriter.
Justin Currie, ex-frontman for 80’s/90’s pop-rock band Del Amitri has recently released his first solo album “What is Love For”. The absence of a question mark in this title may [...]

New found glory - sticks and stones

October 18th 2009 | Posted by admin

Well well well… New Found Glory have released another album. I read a review some time back that said the only thing this album has going for it was the hype surrounding it. Not true. Okay, after weeks of dancing around my living room (ha ha) to My Friends Over You on Kerrang! TV, I [...]

Linkin park – Reanimation

March 14th 2009 | Posted by admin

This album, and the very concept of it’s existence beggars one question for me: why? Why not write new material and release that? Why remix your entire album and then release it again? I thought it was greedy enough to release 5 singles on their debut album, but Linkin Park have gone over the top [...]

Linkin park – hybrid theory

March 13th 2009 | Posted by admin

I never thought I could possibly like such music. I hated Crawling, I hated One Step Closer and gosh darn it I hated Linkin Park. Now they’re one of my favorite bands. Linkin Park absolutely rock, and this album really shows it. Chester Benningtons voice is so varied, from *NSYNC to Slipknot, he really has [...]

Green day - nimrod

March 11th 2009 | Posted by admin

Nimrod was released in 1997. It contains 18 tracks (unless you buy the Japanese version that has 19), most songs of which sound quite similar. You’re introduced to the album with the fast, and completely true to life song Nice guys finish last. Most of the songs on this album are fast. But between these [...]

Angry salad – self titled

February 1st 2009 | Posted by admin

I first heard these guys on the Jenny Jones show, where they performed The Milkshake Song live. My first thoughts were “hey, this is kinda good”. So I went to my computer and downloaded the song from Kazaa. After listening a few times, I downloaded Rico, and the bands cover of 99 Red balloons. “Pretty [...]

New found glory – nothing gold can stay

January 31st 2009 | Posted by admin

Nothing Gold Can Stay kicks off with Hit or Miss. I think that this is most tuneful song on the album, as some of the songs are just a repetitve beat with Jordans voice singing over it. Skipping tracks 2 and 3 (because I don’t think they’re really worth talking about), You’ve got a friend [...]

Jimmy eat world – bleed American

January 15th 2009 | Posted by admin

Wow. This is what I get for buying an album I judged on two damn good singles. Here’s me, thinking I’m gonna be getting all excited, with blood pumping through my veins at a mega fast dangerous pace… but no. Jimmy eat world album fails to rock you. You see, almost every single song on [...]
