Defining My Review System

Those of you who have been reading this blog may think that my scores are random. I don’t give much specific justification for different grades and this is done intentionally. Music is an artistic expression of a group or a single person. I don’t think it is fair, for that reason, to put every band […]

CD Review - Catalyst

Before I began this review, I should mention that I am not a traditional A New Found Glory fan. Their singer’s high-pitched tones and teenage-emotional lyrics seemed very immature and unappealing to me. With that said, one of their later releases, Catalyst, is a CD that everyone should check out and features some of the […]

CD Review - Revelations

In what may be their final album, Audioslave delivers some of their best work. Chris Cornell’s grating voice has always worked perfectly with the advanced guitar work of the former Rage Against the Machine members, but the band’s sound never came together as it should…until now.
The CD opens with a bang with the song “Revelations.” […]

CD Review - Chase This Light

Maybe I should have seen this coming. For the past few months my attention on the music world has been solely devoted to looking up information on the new Jimmy Eat World CD and trying to find sites to listen to the CD as early as possible. Then, after finally getting the CD a few […]

CD Review - Never Take Friendship Personal

Going back to my normal mode of retroactively reviewing CDs that I often listen to, today’s post deals with the 2005 CD Never Take Friendship Personal. The second release by rock band Anberlin, this album has a variety of memorable tunes and is one that I would recommend to anyone.
As with most new CDs I […]

CD Review - Europop

Before I start this review I want to apologize for the somewhat randomness of my posts. There aren’t too many new CDs that I find worthy of buying and so most of my reviews will be about past CDs and the majority of my other posts will be on news of new albums and other […]

CD Review - Futures

Those who have kept up with this blog should have known that it would be only a matter of time before I reviewed Jimmy Eat World’s last, for now, CD. Futures was released right around the time I was about to embark onto college from high school and to this day it has proved to […]

CD Review - Tomorrow Starts Today

As a full-time college student without a car, I often find it hard to listen to the radio and find new artists. Because of this, I am especially proud when I manage to stumble across a new band that has more than just a one-hit album. The Canadian rock group Mobile is one of my […]

CD Review - So Long, Astoria

In the early parts of this review, as I wait for new albums to be released, many CDs that will be reviewed here are personal favorites of mine. One album that I enjoy listening to just about every week is So Long, Astoria by The Ataris. The tracks are nothing ground-breaking, there are not singles […]

CD Review - Kasabian

If you’ve been keeping up with my reviews to date, you’ll know that one of my big things with CDs is continuity. A good album features very different tracks that fit together when listened one after another. Most artists don’t put enough effort or thought into their releases to score big points in this category.
But […]
