album reviews

Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.

Hüsker Dü - "The Living End"
Searching, ever searching... Melodies soar, the guitars fuzz and buzz, and staccato drumbeats fire like miniature truth grenades onto the top of the listener's skull. Bob Mould holds forth with a middling plaintive growl, somewhere between a reasoned, cultured singer and someone pleading for the return of his soul from a very, very dark place, with enough harsh, abrasive tinge to his snotboy vocalizations to offset the bitterness and grief. But all of that is what you'd expect from a rock review, right?

My Favourite Front Man: Honouring Steve Harwell
Today we wake to the news of 90s alt behemoth, and lead singer of Smashmouth ,Steve Harwell's untimely death. As I have talked about on these pages, I am a music nerd. I'll listen to anything once, and many things twice. A lot of things, several. I've played piano since I was a child, so the ear was prepped, but still, Smashmouth remains the most pleasing to the ear for decades, and true masters of the story song - genre jesters doing their thing on every single one of their tracks, whilst staying true to their 1960s, easy listening vibe, even incorporating ska and punk elements, with that 90s edge. To me, true pioneers.

i sang to be noticed by you
Music is a way we as humans have created to be able to express ourselves and share personal experiences with others. We use different forms of poetry within our music to convey what we are trying to say. Sometimes the artist may stretch the truth to try to get their point across. Or use imagery or metaphors to descibe what they are trying to say. Music has always been intriguing to me and for as long as I can remember I've been listening to music. I tend to gravitate towards music that speaks to me on a personal level or that I am able to connect with emotionally. Creating this connection between the artist and listener is a great way to create connections that are lasting between the creator and fan. As I've grown up and gone through things I haven't always known how to say what I am feeling. That's when I decided to give music a try.

THE RARE ERA
I am not quite the GEN-Z but I have heared people my age talking like ''which album of xyz artist are you living in or which era of tailor swift do you resonate with? (its majorly swifty friends that I have heard this from). When they ask me its hard to figure out because I live through different songs at different times in a day. In the morning I am like ''Now I'm shaking, drinking all this coffee , These last few weeks have been exhausting'' by Jeremy the evenings are like ''There's water in my boat , I'm barely breathin' , Tryna stay afloat , So I got these quick repairs to cope , Guess I'm just broken and broke'' by em beihold and finally the nights are complete playlist of sleep lofi. I think I have partial insomnia.

Love Songs for the Retarded
The name of the band and the title of the album will no doubt confuse and trigger some. No worries to the "Woke" crowd--this band is as politically correct as they come. Although they didn't start out that way.
