25 Tab is the second Monster Magnet album, easily the band’s most ambitious work, and a successful attempt to make the most psychedelic album of all time.
Really heavy rock; not metal, even as they absorbed that dynamic/language/attack as tots/post-tots as Black Flag rung their bell and called’m home to dinner.
The sound roars & rumbles, and all manner of film tricks are used, but not to the point of distraction. The real fun comes with the backstage and road footage.
Delaware skillfully blend melancholy and pop music together. They steal Keane, Placebo, and Snow Patrol blueprints and create melodic Britpop-inspired sound.
Highly anticipated as the successor to Northern Light. While not produced by Rammstein producer Jacob Hellner, it shows a return to the roots of their sound.
While Avatar may not satisfy the hard psych freaks who worship earlier records, there’s room for both sides of the band’s personality in my collection.
This collection of jangly holler-pop feels at times like a sort of a Weight-Watchers version of Smashing Pumpkins: Intensity minus the some of the depth.
When Bowie met up with John Lennon in 1975, the most well-known result is the Gawdawful “Fame.” The lesser-known result is their love-child, Butch Walker.
A mixture of clean and screaming vocals, chugga-chugga breakdowns, and In Flames rip-off riffs. But Burn In Silence add something unique: Symphonic keyboards.
