Wave of Mutilation is the third song off of the pixies 1989 album Doolittle. While many state Surfer Rosa as the overall best Pixies album, I would have to disagree and say Doolittle is my favorite album of theirs. There are so many great tracks off of it, with …

“Endless Cemetery” is the last song on Cryptopsy’s 5th album “Once Was Not”. One thing to mention is that this is the first album that features the original vocalist Lord Worm since Cryptopsy’s masterpiece album “None So Vile”. Unfortunately, this would also be Lord Worm’s last time appearing on …

“I Gave You Power” is the 4th track off of Nas 1996 album “It Was Written”. Although this song isn’t technically a single, it is one of the more well known tracks off of “It Was Written”. This is one of the best songs to exemplify just how well …

“Sucker” is a Peeping Tom off of their album “Peeping Tom”. Peeping Tom is just one of the many associated acts and bands that Mike Patton either formed or contributes to. What made me want to review this particular song “Sucker” is that it quite oddly features the beautiful …
