_ill.gates – [autopirate] – CD (Muti!) I’m pretty picky when it comes to my instrumental hip hop, because there are a lot of DJs who veer too close to the whole trance/electronica phase of the 90′s that makes me think of raves and glow sticks....

28 Degrees Taurus – How Do You Like Your Love? – CD (28 Degrees Taurus) This CD starts off with the tune “Single Suicide Mode” which has a hypnotic guitar swirl sound and steady rhythmic beat that reminds me of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The...

2Pac – Thug / Life – 2CD (Universal Records) Listing to this 2-pack 2Pac best of release, I have to say that I still don’t get his appeal as a rapper. Disc 1 is subtitled Thug, while Disc 2 is subtitled Life, and as far as the music goes I...

1888 – Honey, I’d Kill… – CD (Clay Garden Records) Yup, it was easy to call this one. While listening to this CD I could tell that the drummer had some hand in the production process. I look at the disc and there it is. The drums are so far out...

35 Days in May – Bobo in the Bronx – CD (New Indie Artists) Industrial and jazz aren’t two musical forms that you see together in the same sentence, but “Out of the Blue” the opening track to this disc merits the coupling of these terms....

3 Doors Down – The Better Life (Deluxe Edition) – CD (Universal Music Company) The music of 3 Doors Down is decent enough, but I have to say I don’t think it warrants a Deluxe Edition release, especially since all you get is their debut release The...

44 Long – Hangover Heights Part 2 – CD (In Music We Trust) Some bands begin to stagnate on their third effort, but not 44 Long. Brian Berg’s growth as a musician/songwriter is self-evident. This record has a definite groove with great guitar licks...

1986 – Nihilism Is Nothing To Worry About – CD (Palentine Records) Take one parts The Replacements and combine one part Dinosaur Jr. and you would probably have yourself a winning combination right? Well that’s what the band called 1986 thought, and...

…Year Of The White Buffalo – Year Of The White Buffalo – CD (Black & Blue Star Records) This CD starts off good enough with a haunting guitar instrumental. However, the melody sounded familiar to me. I couldn’t quite place it and checked the...

30 Seconds To Mars – A Beautiful Lie – CD (Virgin Records) This is the second release by actor Jared Leto‘s band, and unlike other bands that include a popular actor, this is a real band (Dogstar I’m looking at you). 30 Seconds To Mars is a...

311- Creatures – CD This is a single of their latest radio song. It includes two versions, which are virtually identical. The song is pretty good and catchy in that 311 way, but it’s not one of their best. Still it’s better than most songs on the...

311 – Evolver – CD (311 Music) This is their latest full length. None of the songs particularly stood out, but none of them sucked either. This is a decent album by a band that has their own sound and has been writing constantly good songs for many years....
