Hell’s Angel’s Cracker Factory is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their third studio album, Telepathic Surgery. I’ll note right now that this track is quite an ambitious piece of music and that it’s track listing is just over twenty-three minutes long. Because of its extreme …

I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …

The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song. Listening to the first lyrics of the song, a listener should immediately get a …
