Mushroomhead – Savior Sorrow
What’s with me and bad albums, well i always had a big admiration for Mushroomhead‘s music and creativity, no one combined a sense of alternative metal than this folks, mixing everything up and spitting musical gems, that is until now, seems frontman J. Mann is no longer part of the band and it shows… terribly, this is no evolution and if it’s a revolution than it’s not a democratic one, it sounds like shit, it lacks the aggression, it lacks the hooks, it lacks the good lyrics, it lacks everything, it sounds like their old albums but without that alternative approach, point blank “Savior Sorrow” is embarrassing.
Weezer – Make Believe
Uhhh weeee, i’ll make this short and super sweet, Weezer are Weezer and i must say they have changed, there’s something about clean and nice rock that just brings a smile to my face, sure with time one would suspect they would get old, but their pop”ed” hard rock seems to still thrive, the last album was a bit of a strange affair as well as a 4 years (10 months in Meshuggah time) of wait for a new album seems a bit of a stretch, so here it is, let’s see if it will make me into a believer.The album starts with “Beverly Hills“, actually one of my favorites in the album, sounds gay as hell, and it’s fucking depressing, just my kind of thing…i guess hehehe, so anyway then comes “Perfect Situation” humm nice track, sounds like an oldie, classic Weezer, now “This is Such a Pity” uhhh experimenting are we? well it’s kinda nice with all the synth work, with a big build up, “Hold Me” is a boring soft track almost qualifies as a filer, “Peace” another softer track, then “We are all on drugs” ahhh now that’s better, rock and roll, “The Damage in Your Heart” and “Pardon Me” are ok…i guess, I’m getting a bit of a buzz but nothing too deep, I’m half way through and the album seems to be dying on me after that oh so good start.
Nine Inch Nails – With Teeth
One thing about nin is that Mr Trent Reznor, sure take it’s time to make an album, when a new album pops up i tend to think… nin? i actually don’t remember your last album, not that i’m anal about how long it takes to make a decent album, but i tend to associate time with quality, and this is certainly true with nin, the albums are always of top quality, the music is always crisp, the production superb, well we have a new album, let’s see if indeed it has teeth.
