Crystal Castles – Crystal Castles This album is brilliant. The album starts out very nice and smooth, with some great synth driven music and the computer manipulated vocals pair up to make something so messy but beautiful. This 18 minute album WILL keep you intrigued. The whole time listening to this album, I try to [ READ MORE ]
Enter Shikari – Take To The Skies “Take to the Skies” is the first full length album buy British hardcore band Enter Shikari. Enter Shikari is seen by their fans as the opposition to the largely RnB-dominated charts. Straight away, in the opening the song ‘Enter Shikari’ the bands influences (other than hardcore) become clear [ READ MORE ]
My Gosh. Do you remember how amazing Starflyer 59 was back in the day? Americana and Gold were CONSTANTLY in my cd player. I killed these cds back in the day. Actually, to be fair, there was a good year and a half where all I listened to was Starflyer, seriously. Ask anybody. SF59 started [ READ MORE ]
Norma Jean – Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child “LEECH WITH TWO DAUGHTERS, GIVE GIVE THEY CRY” is just one of the many passionate one liners spewed from Josh Scoggins mouth on this album. Every song, every note is packed full of power, and depth. This album started a whole new generation of hardcore/metal [ READ MORE ]
I’ve meant to do this album for like, 4 days now, but I literally have had no time. It’s all good though, because good things come to those who wait, and this album is GOOD. By GOOD I mean great, fantastic, amazing, incredible, probably my favorite hip hop album in a while. Mos Def has [ READ MORE ]
Kidcrash – Jokes To make it through an entire Kidcrash record itself is a lot of work. After the work is put in, however, there is no feeling more rewarding. The record itself was recorded by the band themselves in a home studio. The album is a bit of a departure from the previous full [ READ MORE ]

Mastodon – Crack The Skye Of all the albums released in 2009 by my favorite artists this is probably in the top 2. Mastodon had done 3 previous “concept” albums with elemental themes (earth, air, fire), and this latest release is supposed to cover the Aethyr element. The songs are awe-inspiring from all angles: the [ READ MORE ]
Straylight Run – Prepare To Be Wrong This album is a great follow up to their self titled full length. Although this album is not as poppy as the previous, it is still an incredible album. You may think that because it isn’t poppy it might turn out to be a depressing album. Well I [ READ MORE ]
Today’s album is From the Ground by Heather Woods Broderick. Heather is the sister of singer/songwriter Peter Broderick whom you may remember I did my first post on. Similarities are almost instantaneously noticeable between the brother and sister’s albums. First off, they’re both obviously folkish people. Secondly the same otherworldly feel is on this album [ READ MORE ]
