11.04.09 |  | Minus The Bear Into The Mirror EP
Minus The Bear return from 2007's brilliant Planet Of Ice with this teaser EP, consisting of "Into The Mirror" and "Broken China". The former song sounds kind of like a sleazy porn film, bolstered by sparse, staccato keyboard chords and complete with plenty of references to coke ("There's a mirror for the 'cane in the bathroom"). The song itself may be one of the catchiest MTB has written yet. "Broken China" is probably the heaviest and weirdest MTB song released so far, with heavy downbeats and some awesome guitar freakouts in the bridge. Appetite whetted yet? Get it now since it's only $2. | 4

11.02.09 |  | Slayer World Painted Blood
LOL at the people bitching as to why Slayer didn't change their sound. Uh fucking A Thor you gave Christ Illusion a 4 and this is virtually the same record, maybe give or take some br00tality + a ridiculously shit mix courtesy of the guy that killed Death Magnetic (yeah you fucking asshole Greh Fidelmann, you fucking suck and never get near a mixing board ever again). Dudes this age are usually planning their check-out ticket, not delivering thrash that (no matter how crap compared to RIB/SOH) still kicks the crap out degenerates like Metallica and breaks necks everywhere. | 3.5

10.28.09 |  | Between The Buried And Me The Great Misdirect
While IMO this doesn't top the ambition and overall feel of Colors, The Great Misdirect is easily BTBAM's most fluid, cohesive listen yet. The tech is off the charts and I'm happy they're putting the metalcore on the backburner for a more progressive sound. Really really awesome stuff. | 4
10.25.09 |  | Weezer Raditude
Holy crap, Weezer put out a record that's mostly listenable?! I've accepted that they'll never return to the brilliance of Blue and Pinkerton, but for a modern Weezer with four relatively crap records under their belt, this isn't bad at all, but it's also not great either. There's very few standout tracks - the most obvious being "If You're Wondering" and "I'm Your Daddy", along with "Trippin' Down The Freeway - but everything is pretty much just middle-of-the-road 'good' to f*cking terrible ("In The Mall" srsly what the fuck?). The lyrics are laughably bad (which I believe is quite intentional; the guy's an English major from Harvard for | 3
