Five Finger Death Punch – The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1 Album Review 25 Aug 2013 | 09:13 am
In 2011, I offered a token, tepid defense of Five Finger Death Punch upon the release of their third album, American Capitalist. I describe my defense in those terms because, while sincere, FFDP isn’t...
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Album Review 18 Aug 2013 | 05:25 pm
If you want to go big, there’s no sense in cutting corners. And few bands on the scene today aim as high as the self-contained orchestra/traveling band/hippie collective that is Edward Sharpe and the ...
Transplants – In A Warzone Album Review 11 Aug 2013 | 12:13 am
Transplants–the supergroup made up of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, Rancid guitarist/vocalist Tim Armstrong, and former Rancid roadie-turned rapper/vocalist Rob Aston–penned one of the most memorab...
Joshua Radin – Wax Wings Album Review 4 Aug 2013 | 09:03 am
It’s tricky trying to stand out amongst your peers as an acoustic folk-pop singer. It’s largely a vocal-driven genre, and if people like your voice, they’ll generally like you as an artist because the...
Black Tusk – Tend No Wounds Album Review 28 Jul 2013 | 06:13 am
Black Tusk are checking in between albums with a new EP, Tend No Wounds. This Georgia metal trio has forever played second fiddle to its big brothers in the Savannah sludge scene, and not undeservedl...
Be’lakor – Of Breath and Bone Album Review 17 Jul 2013 | 07:31 am
There can be no mistaking what kind of music a band that calls itself Be’lakor creates. That’s a name only a heavy metal band could love (or get away with). I had no idea who or what a Be’lakor was; t...
Palms – Palms Album Review 14 Jul 2013 | 05:02 am
A lot of folks in the metal community were bummed out a few years ago when ISIS–those titans of post-metal–called it a day. Well, those fans’ prayers and ritual sacrifices for a reunion have now been...
Kanye West – Yeezus Album Review 2 Jul 2013 | 08:20 am
Kanye West is the king of hype, rap’s most self-indulgent self-promoter; we all know this to be an unassailable truth, right? Wrong. How else can you explain Yeezus, his sixth album, which he record...
Black Sabbath – 13 Album Review 1 Jul 2013 | 03:15 am
I get antsy when a favorite band of mine hasn’t released a new album in three or four years, and when a band like Tool could conceivably take a decade off between records, I’m straight up depressed. W...
Scale The Summit – The Migration Album Review 30 Jun 2013 | 04:01 am
Instrumental rock music comes in a variety of flavors. At one end, you’ve got the melancholy, aching, aspirational post-rock beauty of a band like Explosions in the Sky. On the other end of the spect...
