Category: Music
Genre: Rock
Artist: the strokes

Its really hard for me to review an entire album of “the strokes” , all of their songs are just magnificent,meaning no track’s unlikable.In the sense that i dont grubble on my preferences personally,an examination of their song should farmost away from my bias judgement.I listened to a track for the first time and its their ‘is this it’ b-side song When It Started which was the replacement song when New York City Cops was cancelled from their Is This It release because of the 911 assault .During first-time impression,usually it takes an amount of replay to catch the rhythm within the binds of your interested brain,yet as i expected ,this track quickly pour-on-then-sucked by my sponge spirituality.Its imperative that a great band will form a separate soul on your character,and as the strokes already did,each song added in this plethora of earth’s rock n roll sets them a part from other energies.When it Started sets off with another yet Not another of Fab’s snare riffs,ull know already that this is the band because the rhythm of drum-bass,the companionship of the guitars,and the precise amount of vocal quality is like the amzing formation of voltez 5…(with its impressive composition because everything is in place).I could almost hear that voltron formation chant when the strokes start to play both live and/or recorded.This song is like in liquified harmony which the drums rippling like wavelets at the stropas..the two guitars swimming along like an automated left and right arm paddling ,and the bass…keeps them all afloat with just the ryte amount of bouyancy.And as they dive into the chorus altogether satisfying themselves in the sink of such serene solo…they end the song with a splash of life so cunningly in swift sweetness just like getting out of the water in safe fun.Refreshing Intelligent Music.This song will make you want to take a bath the whole day and not get ill…

Killdozer’s “The Last Waltz”

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

3.jpgThe Last Waltz by Killdozer was originally released in 1997 by the defunct Man’s Ruin Records. Until now, it remained to be the pioneer of the historic Madison slo-core and still the one and only certified live recording. Since year 2000, it has been totally out of print but fortunately Wisconsin label Crustacean records was able to make a totally remixed, remastered and repackaged CD version. The momentous documentary of the band’s final tour is entitled The Fuck You We Quit Tour. It is believe that there could be a possibility of a mini revival of the live recording of their 1996 final show.

Review: Dashboard Confessional’s The Shade of Poison Trees

Dashboard Confessional’s The Shade of Poison Trees

Dashboard Confessional fans found Dusk and Summer a wee bit disappointing and since then, there is much talk and anticipation about the band’s next album. It has been going around that Chris Carrabba was to gear back to their earlier style, which is more intimate. Indeed, The Shade of Poison Trees does seem to satisfy the standards. However, affectation is still met when the whole collection has been listened to. Nevertheless, producer Don Gilmore gave full trust to Carrabba and the rest of the band and allowed each of their hidden selves to shine through in this album.

“Fever Dreams” and “Where There’s Gold…” is perfect for the fans of the older Dashboard style and shall fulfill their listening pleasure once more as the two songs carry their signature acoustic instrumentation and sing along choruses that resemble those around the campfire. Indeed, Dashboard Confessional has come back home to cheer their loyal listeners yet again.

Oasis’ Dig Out Your Soul Out Now!

Its nice to know that Oasis is still alive and very much kicking amidst the music scene’s shift to another genre. In fact the band just doesnt care much about what others are criticising about them. The newest Oasis album sounds much like a band refreshed, but not exactly reinvented. They have just taken it easy. After all, they are Oasis. There’s quite a few difference on their newest release. For one, there is no huge piano anthem. They certainly did away with that this time. Or friend themes like “Let There Be Love”. Their latest album radiates that rough rock n roll album they tended to do every time their critics undermine their effort. In all, the songs are driven by pounding rhythmic, distortion based psychedelic rock. It sounds energetic and cocky. Its unmistakably, Oasis!
