In this series, I take a brief, personal look at relatively recent (2005+) albums and songs that have stayed with me since my first listen, and that I consider to be modern Classics. Rather than straight up reviewing the music on the records, I'd rather look at how said music makes me feel now. Let's go!
Welcome to the last review from the first batch of pieces that I'm making on modern classic records. I have talked about Meghan Remy from U.S. Girls' ... read more
Whilst individual tracks on "93696" have next to no replay value - outside of masterpieces like the title track - the experience of each of the LP sides as a whole is exhilarating.

"Son." - it whispers in my ear, under the loud commotion of the crowd - "I know for a fact that you can do this and much more. You must fight for ... read more
Fall Out Boy continue to showcase everything that's wrong with mainstream rock these days, as this is overblown, bland, drab and tacky. The vocals are corny and cocky as always - Brendan Urie is that you? -, the songs are derivative and feel pointless. One can play this anywhere and hardly anyone will feel any better because of it.
