R.E.M Accelerate review

Album: Accelerate

Artist: R.E.M.

Label: Wea

Released: April 1^st

After hearing the album for gratis on R.E.M.’s. Facebook page, I felt that a quick review a necessity.

This album is really freaking good; it will be a delight to the R.E.M faithful who thought that the band’s last couple of effort were not up to the standard of their older material.

The album kicks off with the short, punchy rocker Living Well is The Best From Of Revenge, and continues to rock for the rest of the play list. Hollow man sound quite a lot like Dinosaur Jr. in places.

The best way to play this album is loud, very loud, so loud that it could blow a speaker. This is a great album, that’s the bottom line.

Pretty. Odd album review

 

Album: Pretty. Odd

Artist: Panic At The Disco

Label: 24 Mar 2008

Released: Fuelled By Ramen

 

When I first heard I Write Sins Not Tradigies, I really liked the song; it was good up beat rock song, which is never a bad thing. So I couldn’t wait to hear more of them.

Then I listened to A Fever You Cant Sweat Out, and what a shit load of fuck it was. That was one of the worst things that I have ever heard. It was listening to someone running their fingers nails down a blackboard.

But I wont dwell on A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out to much, because it will just put me in a fowl mood for the rest of the week.

So I never, thought that I would listen to anything that they released again, so when I heard Nine In The Afternoon, at first I disliked it, because it reminded me of the first album. But try as I may to dislike the song, I couldn’t. It is a great slice of 60’s inspired rock.

Instead of being once bitten twice shy, I decided to check out Pretty. Odd. And to my shock, I really enjoyed this record. Nine In The Afternoon is fair reflection of how this album sounds.

If you, like me had a strong disliking for the band in the past, listen to a few tracks on the bands myspace with an open mind, I think that that you will really enjoy this record.
