Tomahawk - Anonymous

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Wow, this is certainly not what I expected. Again, my expectations getting in the way, but I don’t think any fan of Tomahawk can deny that this album practically came out of nowhere in terms of musical anticipation.
For the first few tracks I was hard-pressed to believe that this was actually a Tomahawk album, […]

Ion Dissonance - Minus the Herd

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

I needed a good two weeks or so — past the two weeks that I wasn’t even aware this album was out — to fully get a grip on it. However, I knew from the very first track (’The Surge’) that this was different, a lot different, from the previous two Ion Dissonance albums. […]

Poison the Well - Versions

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

I really feel like I’ve had this album on my computer and I’ve been waiting to review it for so long. I’ve been listening to it on and off for at least two weeks, but it’s been really hard to get a good grip on exactly what I think of the album.
If I had […]

The Locust - New Erections

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I’m not a die-hard listener of The Locust, so I wasn’t really expecting too much when I came across a copy of their new album. I did much prefer Safety Second, Body Last (SSBL) to any of their other stuff — not just because it’s more accessible, but I just like the overall tone […]

finger eleven - Them VS. You VS. Me

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Although I have been waiting for this album for quite a while, before I even heard the first single on the radio, I didn’t have very high expectations of it. I mean — how could I? I bought their last, self-titled album the very minute I could get my hands on it. It was that […]

Mute Math - Mute Math

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Now I see why I got so hooked on this album so quick… I’m such a sucker for these spacey guitar sounds. To me, this album really seems reminiscent of Failure (especially Fantastic Planet). I’m always up for praising Fantastic Planet, so to make the comparison is certainly an honour. I especially heard this parallel […]

Skinny Puppy - Mythmaker

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Before I came across a copy of Skinny Puppy’s new album, Mythmaker, last night, I hadn’t listened to them for going on at least 3 or 4 months. Not for any particular reason. I mean, I bought the live DVD when it came out last winter, but I just hadn’t given them much listening time.
I […]
