Music Reviews
In an effort to make sure this blog has as little focus as possible, here are some music reviews. I usually listen to my iPod all day at work, but I forgot it at home one day last week. So I streamed XM to my work laptop and jotted down a few songs I heard that I liked.
Papa Roach: The Paramour Sessions
I haven’t owned a Papa Roach CD before and I’m not impressed. This CD seems overall very stale. The singles are good, but the rest is better as background music than to actively listen to it.
Godhead: The Shadow Line
There are some extremely catchy tunes on this CD. “Trapped in Your Lies” was the song I heard that got me to look them up. “Goodbye”, “Through the Cracks”, “Push”, … okay, the whole CD is good. I’m shocked, there are so few CDs out there without a bad song on it.
Fighting Instinct: Fighting Instinct
“I Found Forever” got me to check these guys out. And goddamn this guy can sing. The last song on the CD, “The Call”, is amazing. I’m seeing tossed in a movie during a montage of the main character being depressed. Ben Affleck will probably be in the movie, so no one will see it unfortunately. Musically this isn’t as interesting as the Godhead album above, but the singing makes up for it.
