Public Enemy - Man Plans God Laughs

2015

I really wanted to like this, sounds like a Chuck D solo joint 2015 style.

Battle Beast - Unholy Survivor

2015

Pop Power Metal. Very predictable.

Brontosaurus - Our Animal Ways

2015

Light indie progressive rock. Like Steely Dan but less pop. This is really produced. It dosen't sound like a band to me but backing tracks of keyboards and acoustic guitars and other sounds created by a producer for someone to sing over. I don't know if that's the case here, but as far as I can tell this is a duo and pretty whimpy at that, but it doesn't totally suck, just not my cup of tea. Harmonies.

Pharaoh Overlord - Circle

2015

Gary Newmanesq synth songs. Instrumentals. 

Whitesnake - The Purple Album

2015

This album does not need to exist. Amped up 80's hair meataled dual guitar covers of Deep Purple songs from when Coverdale was in Deep Purple.

The Holydrug Couple - Moonlust

2015

Psychedelic pop songs that are keyboard driven, with blips and bleeps. The vocals are airy but overall this stuff has a cheery uplifting electronic vibe.

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - Unvarnished

2013

70's/80's pop rock. Stale. Handclaps. Just get the record with "I Love Rock and Roll".  Lyrics here seem a bit more introspective/personal than just mindless pop/rock anthems, but not a lot. The lyrics are the only thing that makes this unique. Musically it's generic.

Sykopath Condor - Sykopath Condor

2013

For fans of Kyuss and Pearl Jam and a bit of Southern Rock vibe in the vocals. Similar to Dave Wyndorf sometimes.

Cauce - Cauce

\

2013

This bores me. Psychedelic rock out similar to Earthless. Soundgarden like riffs. They're jammin' their Kyuss type grooves. Maybe it's the production that makes this sound sterile.

Cave - Threace

2013

Instrumental Jazzy/Funky progressive rock. I only like this a little.

Crystal Antlers - Nothing is Real

2013

Sounds a lot like Pavement. You'll notice some other 90's indie influences. Dinosaur jr., Pixies,ect...

Shebrew - Provenance

2012

Hippy stoner grunge.

Pretty Maids - Motherland

2013

Bon Jovi rock. Christian pop metal should sound this nice. This just might be some kind of a concept album. No probably not.

Scale The Summit - The Migration

2013

Joe Satriani metal. I've never been a fan of this style of progressive metal. Instrumental with guitar doing the singing. Yuck. This album just goes on and on forever. More punishing than Grindcore.

Lord - Digital Lies

2013

This is Metal and everything, but the vocals and melodies and backing vocals are all really whimpy. Singer sounds a bit like Geoff Tate...this is not really my thing.

- The weakest Metal you could imagine.

Marilyn Manson - Born Villain

2012

This doesn't sound any different than any other Marilyn Manson I've ever heard. It's OK I suppose but nothing I ever ever want to listen to.

Burzum - Umskiptar

2012

Not really feeling this spoken word Black Metal.

Virus - The Agent That Shapes The Desert

2011

Early Sonic Youth and Hammers Of Misfortune share a donut at the Celtic Faire.

Thot - Obscured By The Wind

2011

Faith No More meets Rammstien for lunch in France while Nine Inch Nails poisons the food.

The Rolling Stones - Undercover

The first song Undercover Of The Night is reminding me of Duran Duran. She's Hot is bringing the Boomtown Rats to mind. Later on The Power Station and Bruce Springsteen also pop into my head. The Springsteen thing is ridiculous. I think Keith is singing that one. Reggae/Dub Clash song. A Disco song or two. This album is obviously an attempt at current styles of music that were popular at the time, but seems dated now. Since the type of music they were mimicing didn't last very long. New Wave anybody?
