GWAR, Lust In Space Album Review



If you like metal but don't like GWAR, there is something wrong with you. They may be from the 80's, though they will never be out of style. If you have never heard of GWAR get your hands on an album or two and get ready to have your ass kicked by some wicked lyrics and some sweet rhythms. Lust In Space is the 10th album from GWAR from beginning to end its awesome track after awesome track. This album has everything one that one would expect from a GWAR album and more. This is the kind of album that you play in the car while in traffic, it just makes problems go away. I strongly recommend that people buy this album, it's the most fun that you will have listening to music outside a concert.


Lust in Space gets a 5 out of 5

Breathe Carolina, Hello Fascination Album Review


For some that have never listened to Breathe Carolina, Hello Fascination might be an acquired taste, especially if your not used to some screamo with a good electronic beat. This is the second album from Breathe Carolina, and not the last. The clever lyrics and simple use of a synthesizer will amaze the average listener. From track one to five is nothing but good songs, but after that it tones down on quality, in the last few tracks I found myself struggling to listen. This album reminds me of a Tootsie pop, nice and sweet on the outside, but at its core just before you finish it off, really mediocre chocolate, you still eat the chocolate, but you know damn well there is better chocolate out there.

Hello Fascination gets 4 out of 5

Cobra Starship, Hot Mess album review


This album has been much anticipated by those that follow Cobra Starship, however this album falls short of expectations half way into the album. I found myself going to the next track thirty seconds into a song. The only track that makes this album even worth mentioning is Living In The Sky With Diamonds. When I heard that this album was coming out, I thought I was being promised a good album. This album is only for those that love Cobra Starship, go to high school, and go to Warped Tour every year. If you can't tell that I don't like this album, then you need to read this post again! This album is not worth buying.

RIP Les Paul 1915 - 2009

His name is known by all guitarist around the globe. With out him music would be very different today. He was just not only a mast of the guitar, but some one that improved it. His innovative designs are manufactured by Gibson and used by many famous artist, such as: Frank Zappa, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Slash, Jimmy Page, and many others. The music community today mourns for the loss of a legend.

His website gave the news today in one simple statement, "The World has lost a remarkable Innovator and Musician".

He will be missed.

Behemoth Evangelion Review


Yesterday Mayhem Festival came to Tampa, FL. The main attractions were Slayer and Marilyn Manson. The smaller stages provided a more personal touch than the larger main stage. On one of these stages a Polish band called Behemoth preformed, I was front and center. They came out with full makeup, looking as if they were of another world and another time. Powerful lyrics in every song they put out, like these seen below from the song Christians To the Lions.
"Rise me! rise me high!
Lead thru the gates ov sun
Rise me! rise me high!
Where angels do not dare to fly
Invite to feast ov gods
And let me drift away
Leave flames ov infamy
And watch me kiss the stars"


After banging my head for a while I decided to go buy their new album Evangelion. After listening to it I can only say that it does not disappoint, the only thing that would make it better is seeing it being preformed live. This album is an example of what should be playing on the radio, and what should be on MTV at five in the morning (the only time they play music videos).






The name of the album is Evangelion, the band is Behemoth! Go listen to it!
