Billie Eilish is such a fucking idiot I hate her so fucking much. She was LITERALLY born into the music industry, and grew up in an area of LA where people like Skrillex and Beck came from. Her brother is a fucking professional music producer yet people still want to sit around and talk about how fucking smart and talented she is holy shit man. "uhhh buh her voic is so good!" yeah maybe if you're a fucking dipshit teenage girl that started learning how to sing from taking choir ... read more
Refresher Course Volume 1: Rise Against
Chapter 3: Siren Song of the Counter Culture
The Rise Against album with the coolest sounding title, the band's major label debut marked a relatively seamless transition into a more mainstream-oriented sound, aided of course by the higher fidelity production stylings of Garth Richardson.

The softer songs (barre the one folk rock song) kind of suck but the louder ones are pretty good
I personally don't have some sort of raging hard on for this album like some people I've seen seem to, but this album does go rather hard. Unfortunately the songwriting isn't really the most memorable of the style.
Thought I had already rated this one. One of the coolest, most insane, just off the wall WEIRD albums I've Ever listened to. Everything about this record is pretty much perfectly executed
One of the finest, most inventive jazz-infused punk/hardcore/metal albums ever created. Endlessly original and unique in almost every way
