  • The Beatles 1965 release Help! is undeniably their most 60’s release – which may sound like stating the obvious for a band that recorded most of their output in the 60’s – but it is a noteworthy claim considering how much they dabbled in different sounds of rock, psych rock, even some blues, soul, and

  • The Viagra Boys most recent release, Cave World (a relisten), retains the bands signature sound while also providing a hilarious theme of monkey to human evolution, playing on some of the more absurd aspects of society, satirizing them, and explaining how some things are different now because we are not apes. Literally. And they do

  • Step to Rhythm is the first full length Turnstile album – and thus has some of the rawness that embodies a bands first album – which is a great aspect that comes through on many of the tracks. However, for my personal taste, I really love punk with a melodic aspect (think Green Day, or

  • This one is not for the faint of heart. Thank you Mark for sending this my way – and also describing it aptly as an acquired taste – that it is. This is thrash metal, and it is not easy to listen to. I can’t say I enjoyed it too much. Not Black Flag level

  • It’s been a long time coming that I dive into Aretha’s discography. Argued as one of the best singers of all time, Aretha certainly backs that claim on this album – starting off with an impassioned, simplistic message from a woman to a man in “Respect” – elegantly belting each word with immaculate control (also,

  • DiCaprio 2 – JID

    JID is definitely a bit of an if you know, you know (often referred to as iykyk here) artist, especially for a few of my blog readers (aimed at you, of course). JID is an Atlanta based rapper who has come out with three albums now – all three of which are great, all three

  • Beatles week has turned into Beatles six weeks, but alas, we persevere. The last album to be recorded by The Beatles, Let It Be is one that I somewhat brushed off as being listed as popular on Spotify simply because its plays are bolstered by one of the most, if not the most, famous Beatles

  • This review has been sitting in here for a while. Full disclosure, and I can’t believe I’m typing this but I don’t always listen to albums in the month that they’re posted There, I said it. I listened to this album in the beginning of May. Anyways, it’s been sitting in the queue for a

  • Beatles week!!! Totally still on. Revolver is regarded as one of the best Beatles projects, but honestly I’m going to stop saying that because I feel like people say that about damn near every Beatles project. Or maybe not, but whatever you gather from this sentence is true. Revolver is definitely good. First point here,
