Animal Collective are critical darlings and the penultimate band of modern psychedelia. Their distinct style blends multipart falsetto vocal melodies (a la Beach Boys), hypnotic beats, and electronic experimentation.

Josef K were a short-lived four-piece post-punk band. The paranoia and brittleness implicit in their namesake, the protagonist in Frank Kafka’s “The Trial” was echoed by their sound. They played spare, taut, danceable discount funk. For those looking for comparison, this can be likened to Fear of Music era …

Well, if the previous album, The Final Cut, was a Roger Waters album, this one is David Gilmour. It’s funny how these two albums are so completely the opposite of eachother. I prefer this one though, if I was to choose between the two. You can pretty much guess …

When I was in high school, I liked listening to Garth Brooks, among others. But, I haven’t really listened to any of his classic songs until recently; when my wife bought me his Ultimate Hits Collection for our anniversary. Now it’s all I listen to.

*Just a note to anyone who read my last two reviews on the music videos for Peace Sells and Wake Up Dead. For some reason I kept saying Marty Friedman’s name rather than Chris Poland. I’m not really sure what I was thinking since Friedman didn’t join Megadeth until …

Welcome angelic voice to my melancholy ears. Any Gothic Metal or Symphonic Metal fan is usually in search for this exact concoction. The song, Chasing the Dragon by Epica starts about being one of the sweetest serenades or lullabies ever produced by Epica’s …
