Some albums are bangers, some albums are fuckers. This album is a tight hard FUCKER
On NO. 4 , Scott Weiland and co. wear their influences on their sleeve a little more obviously than at least their previous two albums; "Sour Girl" could easily pass as a Beatles song and "Down" and "Heaven and Hot Rods" as Alice In Chains songs. And on tracks such as "No Way Out" the band treads dangerously close to the brand of radio-made post-grunge that was becoming popular at the time. Yet even when (supposedly) phoning it in, Stone Temple Pilots ... read more
Harsh, grating, utterly tormented screams over intensely emotive hardcore instrumentation, intertwined with jazz-influenced interludes for good measure. Very similar to the stuff Number Twelve was doing at the time, but not without having a voice of its own
Far more enjoyable than the last one, even if the lyrics kind of fucking suck
An underappreciated masterpiece, regardless of some questionable lyrical decisions (Art School Girl) and the plastic-thin guitar tones present especially on the album's first half.

On Give One Take One, '68 retain all of the melodic sensibilities and poignant songwriting that made Two Parts Viper so great while bringing back some of the looser-feeling improvisation that made their first album so fun to listen to. In addition, the last 4 songs are some of the best Josh has ever written.

A fittingly energetic and alcohol-drenched followup to "Reinventing Axl Rose".
Against Me! Is yet another example of a band I didn't appreciate nearly enough when I was younger and getting into harder music. Upon revisiting them, however, I'm finding myself endlessly enamored by every minute detail. I love Laura's passionate, angry, emotive vocals and the incredible introspective lyrical prowess almost effortlessly accompanying them (ex: all of 8 Hours of Sleep). The instrumentation is very raw and aggressive, while still allowing the acoustic guitar to shine through the ... read more
