Though i don't love the Logic brand, TITS was a decent listen, and i was hoping that this
would be the album he'd either build a solid project, or at least have a runaway hit that
would bleach the radio for a summer. We got neither. If his most honest shit has nothing
to do with his biracial identity, why make it the entire marketing gimmick for your third
album. Its almost like he's following in the blueprints of other artists. Oh wait he is.

| Young Thug Barter 6 | 5.0 |
| Young Thug is the greatest musician alive. You could even say he's the Frank Zappa of our generation. He is not just another manufactured rap star, he is a complete artist. He is not someone that is being controlled by a record label. Thugger is singlehandedly one of the most innovative and unique rap artists of this decade. He is a melodic genius, his beats are experimental, innovative, unique, he isn't afraid to experiment, he is constantly evolving and changing his style. Young Thug, from the beginning, has always pushed boundaries and has continued to make progressive music that others could only hope to imitate. His voice is an instrument. He wants you to look beyond just the lyrics. They are there just to complement the music, they are an application of the voice as an instrument rather than a medium for verbal communication and storytelling. His voice and his sounds are something that no one else is doing. Young Thug obviously isn't a Kendrick/Drake type of rapper with outstanding rapping ability but he still manages to make better music than them. His mixtape, Barter 6, is an extremely introspective and personal record. It allows you to better understand the perspective and emotions of Jeffrey Lamar Williams. The mixtape has become a bridge for white youth to enjoy the art of the black inner city and empathize with the likes of Thugger and that is what is so wonderful about art. |

| This is one of the few truly Middle-heavy albums made today. I was quite ready to think of about anything else to listen to for the first 2 tracks. So after those two moments of mediocrity? Some strong melodic trash with lean production. Recommended Tracks- Evil Twin, Suzerian, The Battle Chose Us! Skip - Blood Eagle Wings. |

| One of the more boring acts I've seen live, the not-quite-Judas Priest tribute/cover band creates some more kickass vocals. Production is kind of compressed but maybe its just the strong vocals of Ralf that give it such a crisp, modern sound. This is a 2.0 for casual listens and an light 4 for balls-to-the-wall volume abuse. |

| The Hotelier Goodness | 4.0 |
| There are so many better hotels than this in FL I can't see any reason for staying here. This is one of the worst international chain hotels I stayed at considering the brand name. Everything went wrong start from the beginning. From the perspective of Hotelier front staff and management needs more education, they have no clue about the customer service. Manager on duty that I was dealing with was very lackadaisical. I was promised a late check out during the checking time and but the manager on duty next was almost argue with me and trying explain that she was doing me a favor. |
| The Hotelier Home, Like NoPlace Is There | 4.5 |
| Armory (USA-MA) Empyrean Realms | 4.0 |
| nothing new, just fanservice to these ears. Far more euro influence than most USPM and representing Massachusetts can never go wrong. Beyond the Horizon is the standout track, so many jovial melodies into one composition it's incredible. |
| Aesop Rock Bazooka Tooth | 3.5 |
| BABYMETAL Metal Resistance | 4.0 |
| A lot of the cringey moments have been removed, which actually hurts the bottom line. Gone is an album one listens to with some self-doubt and a little shame to go along. In comes a fresh mix of styles - Djent (KARATE), Fates Warning-core (Tales of the Destinies) and Extreme Power Metal (Road of Resistance). I'll give this such a high score ignoring many forgettable tracks (Metaro is the lone embarraser, a anthem track that's more repetitive than anything else they've made) with many that can be played on repeat, something i thought was impossible in 2016. Recommended tracks, 1,2,4.8,9,11. A disappointing lack of neoclassical wonder in the forms of instrumental sections akin to IDZ on the first album. |
| Exmortus Ride Forth | 3.5 |
| A short burst of tech trash wizardry. Its undoubted they've crafted a signature sound; a miracle in 2016. The drawback is the 38 minute duration is entirely that sound, with a strictly neo-classical instrumental as the only break. An absolutely worth contender for your money to see live. |
| Wishbone Ash Blue Horizon | 4.5 |
| How the honest hell can a band still..deliver after so many years of never quite reaching the stardom they deserve. We owe it to their cult fanbase and their driving spirit to making more honest albums in a age where bands of their era are making cashgrab comeback albums. |

| Cheese is a food derived from milk that is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified, and adding the enzyme rennet causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have molds on the rind or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature.rI love the taste of cheese. this just smells like Casu marzu yet tastes like cheddar. |

| "Smash is the way you deal with your life" - This is the known pinnacle of my go-to "was good until they sold out" punk rock band. Everyone who's jammed an alt-rock station in their lives knows tracks 7 and 8, but the album as a whole is the highly emotional, arrogant and adolescent value statement for being a teenager with a license. Highlights include the title, track, Nitro for being the sonic equivalent of slaming the gas pedal, Genocide for being the hardest track and What Happened? to You being a nice break from the anger. |

| Well the production, beats and instrumentals are lacking compared to later LPs (still stronger than his many posthumous releases), 2Pacalypse finds itself a tough sell in the age of digital, nearly exacting instrumentals created by computers. Well this doesn't exactly display 2pac's legacy defining work, it shows how strong of a start he had compared to many of his contemporaries. |

| Illmatic was great. This is not. Scout out for the original pressing, as the remasters do nothing, and the price is heavily inflated due to its title as a "classic" The new cover also blows, and that may seem like a minor complaint but this is a release, and packaging is a big thing when reviewing that. |

| Brand New comes out with another album which has a sum greater than its parts. Shame those parts are highly derivative and were performed better in the bands that wrote the material with more glamor. Jesse's Lyricism stays strong although more multi-line schemes would be welcomed. Sink ocks hard. |
| Brand New Your Favorite Weapon | 3.5 |
| Brand New's debut is a great example of solid fast food in musical form. Catchy, memorable but leaves a bad aftertaste, and too much can make you a bit sick. Criticized for being immature and too "i wanna be 18 forever", which strikes me odd because if that's a complaint, certainly their entire discography suffers from that too. Songs such as "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" and "Mixtape" contain catchy choruses which stay in your head for hours, which sadly are on a whole different level then the rest. Not to say other songs, as 70x7 aren't catchy, but like a half-pound burger, you need to segment some fires and a Coke in between large bites. |

| Less "out-there" than other Meshuggah releases, this has a unique sound among their discography for being a tad more enjoyable. Credit goes to the more catchy hooks. This maybe less game-changing, but its a game a larger audience can admire, it isn't trying to push the boundaries on every song, and for that it actually sounds more diverse than newer content like Koloss, due to changing volume levels. |

| Eschewed from most acclaim to due becoming more associated with repeat playings of Back In Black at bars and stadiums in the same fashion Zeppelin got the stigma of Dad Rock. Giving AC/DC a 5 is a tough sell to many. Bon Scott is much preferred as an singer, famous for hooks on Highway To Hell LP and High Voltage more than his singing between those albums, on their best releases such as Powerage and This. Whole Lotta Rosie, Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be, and especially the title track convey a melody and energy weakened by the time Brian came to sing. |

| The soundscapes presented are both dark and haunting, with a superficial cheery 80s nostalgic coverup. I wouldn't think so highly of this album without a certain experience in the quite aura of the city with an hotel where everyone was asleep and the only noise in the universe was "Lisa Frank 420" off of a mono phone speaker. The melody is so immersive that songs from my youth that spark serious nostalgia can't paint the picture of where I first heard them as well as this. |
| Viper the Rapper You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack | 4.5 |
| A starving artist predicts the state of meme-rap in 2014 with this album. Great vibes, and droning beats make this a great album to pull out that ol' ghetto blaster too, or destroy your friend's car's subs too. Recommended Track: I Sell Dope Boy. |

| Opened for DTP among a few other bands, surprisingly from different walks of life. They were to play this 2015 album in its entirety. I have not touched the band since colors and had only heard about this album being a little softer. Not being much of a fan of harsh vocals live, i took that as a good thing, but i found my self in an ecliptic coma by the end of it. |

| Pimped out by his Def Jam contract, freshman rapper Logic fails to find an opportunity to find his own voice. Ditto the Kendrick comparisons, both suffer from the same rehashing of the tropes exercised by Dre and OutKast. Production is layered and outstanding, with the only fault being a corny robotic voice "tour guide" straight out of a Tribe Called Quest album. Logic grew up in a unstable household in a section 8 housing project in a relatively well-off town, providing a different viewpoint from the same "grew up on the streets, no I made it" tale. Unfortunately he doesn't exactly work with it, instead talking about gangs, drugs and all similarly discussed topics, just with a air of doubt. In interviews he's quite an abstinent from many vices, yet decide to capitalize on them for his album. As "generic" as he may be, his flow is on par with many classics, you get the feeling he practices his game out of the studio.rRecommended Tracks - Title track, Buried Alive, Gang Related. |

| The heavy hitting sounds of previous albums are lost, but the corny lyrics remain. Production is so good it will get Kanye West jealous (and on the last track..cry). Featuring Queen style layered vocals over an overproduced guitar tone with bass guitar drowned out. Similarly drowned out is their drummer, although that works to benefit the music for the most part. I'm glad their drummer left because their replacement seems to blend in with the multitudes of synthetic symphony instruments with ease. Standouts are "Precious Jerusalem", "Battlefield", "The Soulforged" and the 14 minute epic "And then there was Silence". |
| Blind Guardian Imaginations from the Other Side | 4.5 |
I've had this album for many years, and its album art always seems to inviting. There's a definite
issue of bass volume on this album, but the production also allows Thomen's drumming to roar with
a fury that carries this album to be my favorite BG release overall. The cheese is imo used pretty
sparringly here, especially compared to later releases. |

| One of (if not the best) live act I've ever had the privilege of seeing. This CD comes very close to mimicking that live experience, as this bands live releases are an event on their own, which I can't say for their last few lackluster studio albums. Almost every one of their songs' live counterparts are more energetic, more involving and more impressive. I'd give the DVD a 4.5 due to their age hurting visually the stage presence, and Kiske's welcome surprise ruined by his douche glasses. Tracklist features many of their rarer cuts, which improve heavily on their studio versions. My only complain about the audio is by the time "Rise" appears on disc 2, it feels the band is tired out, something which cannot be said on their last DVD. |

This CD comes very close to mimicking that live experience, as this bands live releases are an event on their own, which I can't say for their last few lackluster studio albums. The first record shop I came across to actually stock their work had a few albums, and this for some reason caught my eye, even though I only heard about 1 or 2 songs by them before. Coming as a Helloween fan I knew what Kai could do on stage, so I took the gamble. I'm really glad I did so, because this performance is so tight, it almost had me disappointed for when I actually saw them live. Sound on the cds don't really explode like other classic live releases, which wouldn't be a problem on their DVD, which I wish I had purchased. |

| Absolutely not a single original idea or concept of this album. So is it bad? Nope. Is it Pinkerton 2? Nope. Hurley was better than this. The first half is relatively mediocre, asides for "Eulogy..." and contains the poppy rhythms that made both the blue and green album best sellers. The later half has more complex, and some very memorable songs ("Foolish Father, Cleopatra"). The album is let down by some cliche lyrics and a few melodies stolen from a variety of sources, even old-school U2, but this is a great continuation of the comeback started on Raditude, expanded on in Hurley, and this wouldn't make a bad ending to their discography. |

I'd think that the Ska-punk sounds and almost singular focus lyrical will bore 3 tracks in but their motivation and energy outshine, combined with a healthy amount of well performed covers make this a great listen. |

| this album suffers from "Shawshank Redemption Syndrome". Its had over the last 9 years a long history of absolute critical appraise from numerous outputs. That means many people are led towards listening to this album with the state of mind that they're getting a masterpiece, and will fight any negative emotions to sustain that image provided. On the contrary, dissenters will note the popularity and dismiss it, looking lonely and unguided with their "look at me" low ratings. This is an amazing album, which surely beats the sums of its parts as Jesse isn't exactly what I'd call a talented singer by any margin, and the instrumentals barely surpass the best high school bands. And speaking of high school, the oft celebrated lyrics relate more to high school melodrama from the forms of overt deep poems than many albums. So this sounds like a 2 so far? Brand New have an uncanny ability to understand how to format an album. On early listens it seems top heavy ...but repeat listens give light to songs such as "Limozeen", which doesn't overstay its welcome. It has questionable staying power, as the weak instrumentals don't benefit its already memorable hooks and verses. >somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4, this is it. |

| Being in Germany during the late 80s must of been being wedged between the might of USA and Russia, who could both end the world with a press of a button, with Hamburg in the middle of all that. Accept, Metallica and early Kreator have a meth-addled child in the mid 80s that's raised with a bizarre prog-rock upbringing. Loved by people who think Helloween went to crap when Kiske joined, and Loved by those who think it went to crap after Kai left, the heaviness is properly recognized but the happiness which helped birth power metal is here and strong. Unlike contemporaries yelling about the very decay of the world, Helloween sings of hope, of a humanistic need for freedom which separates them from protopowermetal such as Judas Priest. Best cuts? Nearly every song is great, with the emotional impact of How Many Tears and Victim of Fate being very rare in mid 80s metal. |

| Helloween Chameleon | 3.5 |
| A controversial album whose best cuts will forever be associated with the offputting slowjams which ruined Helloween's reputation. rRecommended Songs - First Time. Crazy Cat, Giants, Revolution Now and especially When the Sinner. The rest is skippable but those 5 remain underrated pop gems from a band struggling to find its image without Kai and trying to experiment. |
| Helloween Gambling with the Devil | 4.0 |
| Helloween 7 Sinners | 4.0 |
| I wanted to hate this album so much. Over the year before its release I had got heavily invested in their material covered in [Treasure Chest] A few singles from the 00s convinced me that the band had lost its ways. Are You Metal?!'s laughable lyrics and dense production scared me away, with the music video looking like a midwest horrrorcore rap vid. A few songs sort of stick out when played live, specifically Where the Sinners Go. Not to mention When a Mounntain Could Talk comes on my last.fm radio. I'm hooked that the 80s sound is back in the solo. I buy the album. Blown away by the sheer catchiness of the melodies, the first half is song after song of greatness, the flute solo in Raise the Noise being smile inducing. Some of the slower songs, specifically The Smile of the Sun and most of the closer really feel phoned in. Though it has a lot of fanservice, I do recommend this as the best recent album by them to recommend. |
| Helloween Straight Out of Hell | 3.5 |
| Oh man I was so excited for this, bought it day one though (at the time) I didn't care at all for post-2000 Helloween. Songs like Burning Sun , World of War and Nabataea had modern production along with that classic helloween sound. Asshole and I Wanna Be God add some variety. Church Breaks Down is a nice ending that is quite underplayed. On later listens the more unoriginal songs, (title track, Far Among the Stars) stood out. Live Now and Waiting for the Thunder are poppier songs that haven't aged well. |
| Helloween My God-Given Right | 3.0 |
Not sure if what's autoplagarism or what's homage, but its all catchy and fun. The fact that i'm
enjoying this though I was
delaying the listen to months after release due to having doubts and still coming out happy is the
most obvious sign that I have become a fanboy. Favorite cut so far - Lost In America, bonus track
"Wicked Game" has this lovable infectious chorus. |

| Eschewing nearly all of their early crossover/thrash roots and marred with mediocre quality on the original recording (You'll have to decide between this or the brickwalled but more sonically superior Relapse 2011 rerelease with demos) There are prog metal influences which signal sort of apex of the talent Death possessed as a band. Hardcore Death fans will whine about the softened tone but this comes as a great sequel to the Dream Theatre type riffs found on Symbolic. Gone are the repetitive drums which give death metal a band name, and a focus on hooks gives this a less niche sound, although one certainly can't exactly call anything on this mainstream. From the double bass solo opening up "Scavenger of Human Sorrow" to the out of place but golden "Painkiller" cover comes some of the most intense riffage and drumming in late 90s metal. Bass guitar is never forgotten, and creates interesting segways in this album's several 7+ minute songs. |

| Subdivisions is one of the few songs that on my first listen, I pressed repeat...8 times. Simple lyrics about non-conformity come alive with a deeper and more illustrated meaning for every repeated listen. Little metaphors become crystal clear, and that polarizing synth intro and segments become the paint brush setting the mood. I don't know if this was simply a epiphany but the euphoria this album creates is unlike any song to ever get a single on the radio. I was in my junior year of high school, and I felt like I could really see my place from an extraneous perspective, where my first years alive met with my future, and a premonition for my time in school, a mix of great and awful, was soon going to be over. Technically its crazy how well the 4/4 to 7/4 shifts are on the ears. So this blog about subjective musical experiences finally continues on. Other tracks continue the vibe, but don't meet the sheer power of Subdivisions....But the rest of the album is solid |

| The album which only gets better with time. Just like wine, the intoxication stays for a while, leaving you in love with the audio. But seriously, if one can get into the grove of Claudio's vocals, and give the 70 minute album a fair share of time, you'll find a particular moving album, with everything from Rush-inspired bridges to pop-punk inspired choruses. I've never been a fan of the lyrics or the backstory but they're easy to ignore, with Claudio's voice breaking language gaps easily. |

| I could write paragraphs about either the crazy instrumentation, the lyrical juggernaut that is this album or just state that in the age where every Beyonce single is taken apart and deconstructed to be some modern gospel, TPAB is entirely worthy of multi-page write-ups and imaginary interviews that distinguish modern music hack journalism. Shame about Modern Man's lack of replay value, it unwrites "I" as a definitive closure to the sonic textures of unease instead closes with a purported mock interview with 2Pac, which reads like a long fanfiction. |

| Fresh from their first debut on mainstream radio, and then signing to a major label (Atlantic), BR finds themselves to sell out, at the expense of continuing themes found on Generator and Recipie (The themes of songwriting, the lyrics are still there). Finds a very complete album, with a longer run time than their golden late 80s era, but with the same machine gun drums and erudite lyrics abound. Their poppier tracks haven't aged well, as Infected seemed like a cash in on the grunge movement which died soon after this album was released (Or maybe I always thought that song was Nirvana or Soundgarden?) Top tracks are Marked, Inner Logic, Hooray for Me, Better Off Dead , the Title Track and Tiny Voices. Andy Wallace puts a great job on the production standpoint. Its much clearer than earlier releases but not at the expense of intensity or depth. |

| NOFX The Longest Line | 5.0 |
| A band who's earlier years are marred by extreme immaturity (which still continues along today in some form) finds grace on their self-depreciating 5-track EP The Longest Line. Aside for their Reggae parody in "Kill All The White Man", a humorous track, the first four deal with relationships, the pressure of being an average joe with a family, having shit luck. Recording quality is either lovably raw or awful depending on your musical discipline. The Death of John Smith is one of their more impressive songs, and inspired the first few minutes of The Decline. The Longest Line achieves some simplistic genius, with a chorus that's way more powerful than either Fat Mike's voice or that chord progression should ever be. |

| If i was perpetually living in 2003 this would be a fun and informing album to represent the scene, now it reeks of age like Farenheit 9/11 and other critical properties of that era. Its immaturity is luckily overshadowed by some very fun, accessible and catchy interpretations of major issues. |

| Stylistically vague, and with an ambiguous theme, this album is the black sheep among my 5s. Except I'm pretty sure nothing I've heard has this amount of raw energy from the entire band, often at the same time. Vocally MtH is a barrage of varying vocal ranges, encompassing every genre from rap, rock, metal, nu-metal, j-pop, opera, and jazz. on paper it should just sound like a mess, but its just so sonically pleasing. This is the type of music that both th listener and the musician would have a smirk or even a smile for the duration of the album... Only flaw is some melodies extend to long...I don't know if the whole "Japanese System of a Down" moniker would work for me but I get a mathcore vibe, not bad for something that got this big. |

| BABYMETAL Megitsune | 3.0 |
| BABYMETAL Ijime, Dame, Zettai | 4.0 |
| Not perfect, but this was the single which took influence from a more technical side of metal, instead of the standard jpop tone with chugging for interludes. The drumming on "Catch me..." is extremely catchy, and the title track's power metal/extreme metal influence, combined with its neoclassical solo made this the transition from the viral video band to something actually worth reporting on metal news sites, but that would wait for their singles on their debut album. |

| BABYMETAL LIVE AT BUDOKAN ~RED NIGHT~ | 4.5 |
| BABYMETAL Live Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse | 4.5 |
| The amount of energy electrifies the audience and therefore the viewer. Film quality is 10/10, and the questionable stylistic choices are crushed by the weight of the backing band's intense performance. I predicted them to blow up as they did but I was expecting content like this to win fans over, not the music videos for their most simplistic songs. Probably the most fun I've had at a live show since I saw Maiden. |

| Who knew a well arranged mess of singles/bsides/rereleases from one of the forerunners of commercial music could make such a statement about the status of metal in 2014 and its various fanbases; from the open-minded to the closed off elitists |

| Arch Enemy may have seen their best output before (or during) 2002, but their live act remains strong. Great setlist promotes one of the most powerful performances I've heard "Burning Angel", and the guitar/bass/drum solos are enjoyable without too much wankery, and some melody which is usually drowned out by Angela. |
