We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank 2007 Album by Modest Mouse
It might be surprising to say this, but this album would have gotten a higher grade if it was a debut album by a band. But, in comparison to all the previous records that this band has put out, this one looks indeed like a kind of disappointment.

System Of A Down - Lost In Hollywood (Song)
Lost In Hollywood, the final track of the first half of System Of A Down’s double record, Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is probably the track on this half of the record which I would consider to be the most powerful. What’s particularly significant about this track is that it really is Daron …

When Blink 182 had their fallout and Tom Delonge went his way, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus went their way, and formed this band with a friend. When Your Heart Stops Beating is an impressive album, after the failure of Blink 182’s last album I thought they had …

Another “live in studio” effort that would be the album KISS’ tour would revolve around on the band’s first excursion into Japan.

System of a Down The Self Titled Album
