Ready to Rock...and Review!

When I think of Green Day albums, I think of "American Idiot" and "Dookie." The last album that comes to my mind is "Kerplunk." The only reason I think that way is because there is nothing really notable about "Kerplunk." Other than "Welcome to Paradise," that's pretty much it. Even that song is overshadowed by the version on "Dookie." To reiterate what I said before, there is nothing special about this album. For some gut feeling though, I decided to review (very similar as to how my review began with the Primus album "Antipop"). I don't think I've ever even heard a Green Day fan say that "Kerplunk" was there favorite album. My first time of hearing about Kerplunk happened during my senior year of high. While listening to their latest album "Father of All...," one of my friends told me that this sounded nothing like their earlier albums. The albums he referenced where "1,039/Smoo

Well, things are very odd. First of all, I would have thought "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" would've been my first and last Primus album review, but it turns out that I was wrong, and when I say wrong, I mean COMPLETELY wrong. I loved the album "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" so much that I thought by reviewing another Primus album wouldn't hurt, but how on earth was I going to choose the next one. Primus is a band that is liked similarly to how people like candy corn, you either love it or you hate it. In my case, I loved it, but another challenge comes to mind when I have to review another great album by them. I had to pick another album quick and fast because I was already behind on my "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" album review, so which album was it going to be. I will let everyone know that one of my favorite songs by Primus is "Lacquer Head." This song is very comedic in its subject matter and it has a bass riff that I would call unthink

Never in a million years would I have thought I would review a Primus album. If you've never heard any Primus song, then I recommend you check out their most popular songs, if you don't, then you're in for a surprise.  I think I'm still unsure of my overall opinion of Primus. Don't get me wrong, I love their music and the catchy songs they make, but some of their songs are incredibly unusual when it comes to the way they sound and the lyrics of them. I always think to myself when I'm about to listen to a new Primus song that it's a complete mystery as to what I'm going to hear. One moment you could be hearing a completely "regular" sounding song, and the next moment you could be hearing circus music. I say the term "regular," because when a Primus song comes on, you know it's for sure a Primus song. Ever since I started this album review blog, I always told myself that I was going to review Primus, and finally, the day has come. I

If you can't already tell, I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One may have figured it out by now after I reviewed their "Greatest Hits" album and reviewed "Californication." This week though, I am focusing on my current favorite album by them and that is "Mother's Milk." I thought I loved "Californication," but I was dead wrong. To be honest, there were songs on "Californication" that I wasn't too fond of. On the other hand, after listening to "Mother's Milk," I quickly realized that I liked every song. Throughout all the albums I listened to from many bands, I've never listened to an album were I liked every song on it, excluding "Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith. "Mother's Milk" had funky songs, as well as very catchy songs that I could not push out of my head. From "Higher Ground" to "Knock Me Down," I couldn't stop listening to these songs. These songs had v
