Weezer do bro-rock. Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. Gross. Not fun. Not good. Very bad. Ew. Completely what Weezer are for, and Weezer should have god damn knew better. I mean...It's Weezer with Lil goddamn Wayne. Eeeeeewwww.
Favorite Jams: Um....I.....Uh.....(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To? Ugh.
Lest Favorite: I'm Your Daddy (EW) Girl Got Hot (EWW) Can't Stop Partying (NOPE)
Fast. Intense. Groovy. Big. Overbearing. Exciting. And goddamn entertaining. That's really all you need for a review. Listen to it.
Favorite Jams: Hang Em High, You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison, To the End
Lest Favorite: Interlude
There are many albums that change people. Some point to "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "Thriller" or many other great records. But for me, it's MCR's crazy, explosive, off the wall and perfectly intense tale of woe and death that changed something. Maybe in me, maybe in the world, and possibly both.
Favorite Jams: Everything (Especially Mama, Sleep, This Is How I Disappear)
Lest Favorite: Disenchanted
Christ this fell off. 'This is probably one of the more intense and fast albums Green Day has put out since their inception, but still has the theatrical sensibilities from their more recent efforts (and I do mean efforts). It's fun, intense, and in all honesty, what we may need right now.' was my original review, but now? God...this feels so stale!
Favorite Jams: Bouncing Off The Wall, Bang Bang, Forever Now
Lest Favorite: Say Goodbye
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, come one, come all, and see American Idiot 2: Now It's Even Worse, Filled with Filler and more Forgettable!
Favorite Jams: East Jesus Nowhere, Restless Heart Syndrome, Horseshoes and Handgrenades
Lest Favorite: Song of the Century
It's not a classic punk rock roller derby, but that doesn't mean that Green Day have slowed down on the gas. One of the more experimental releases from Green Day, switching up genres nearly every song, in a way that flows greatly. An underrated gem.
Favorite Jams: Misery, Minority, Waiting
Lest Favorite: Hold On
If you have this at a 90 then I hope you pass all of your exams.
Favorite Jams: Jesus of Suburbia, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Lest Favorite: She's A Rebel
Green Day not only improve on the pop punk formula, they also experiment and mix up the sound they already have perfected, with crazy fun and intensely entertaining results. From showtune, to surf rock, to My Chemical Romance-style emo alt rock, it's got something here for most rock fans.
Favorite Jams: Hitchin' A Ride, Platypus (I Hate You), Take Back
Lest Favorite: Uptight
It's Dookie but depressed. And while for some that leaves the taste of wanting something more substantial in their mouths, for me it still leaves behind the aftertaste of another great pop punk record.
Favorite Jams: Panic Song, Brain Stew, Walking Contradiction
Lest Favorite; Tight Wad Hill
While at times the fast, intense and teenage angst-filled punk peppiness can give listeners "Burnout" (hehehe), but it's still a great album that stands the test of time in becoming the defining pop-punk revival movement.
Favorite Jams: Chump, Welcome To Paradise, F.O.D.
Lest Favorite: All By Myself
It's one of those album. An album that you don't expect much out of, but the second you put the first track on, it sends you to a whole new plane of music you didn't think was possible. It's borderline perfection, and it's got the charm, the fun, the intensity and the rock to back this bundle of charm and delight up in droves. It's rock in it's purest form.
Favorite Jams: Everything (Especially Six Shooter, You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire, First It Giveth)

An off the wall, fun, and extremely energetic album, with heavy riffs and catchy melody's combining to create a wonderfully kooky sound, with a tone and mood that fully matches the title of the record: Its fast, dirty and scruffy. The definition of a R rated album.
Favorite Jams: Quick and to the Pointless, The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret, Feel Good Hit Of The Summer
Lest Favorite: Lightning Song
Even though this record houses some of Josh Homme's most explosive songs, and guests some of the biggest names in rock (Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, Elton goddamn John), it also has the most sober, down to earth and grounded tones in QOTSA history, and it's more then welcome on this record, creating a sound that fits perfectly with the swagger and rock and roll charisma that is Queens Of The Stone Age.
Favorite Jams: Kalopsia, The Vampyre of Time and Memory, Fairweather Friends

It's not bad. Far from it. But there feels like there is something missing in this dance-filled, boogie woogie infused collection of rock bangers that keeps it from being an all time classic. Maybe it's the strangely tinny rhythm section, or the misplaced production, but something definitely feels fishy.
Favorite Jams: Head Like A Haunted House, The Evil Has Landed, Feet Don't Fail Me

BAND BINGE: ARCTIC MONKEYS (PART 1NE OF 12ELVE)
Oi yeah, we jus' a buch' o' lads o' that prowl lov, chea Mona you mardy copperwire, gone up th' piss oi', ya stingy snailcoin.
Yep. I said that.
Arctic Monkeys are one of those artists that are so inundated with British culture (at lest from an outsiders perspective) that they almost seem inseparable from it. So, what led them to go down the rabbit whole that is the bands discography? What made them go from niche garage rock darlings to arena ... read more
Di...did anyone see this coming? From the arena sized AM to a sci-fi lounge-jazz concept album? No one saw it coming, and in some cases, that's why it works so well. It's so off the wall, it's so out of the blue, it's so right out of left field that it's almost a rock enigma. And it's a glorious enigma to say the lest.
Favorite Jams: Four Out Of Five, American Sports, She Looks Like Fun
Lest Favorite: The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip (even though that's a great title)
Ever wanted to hear what it's like to be stuck in probably ones of the biggest "rock and hard places" situations in rock history? Then look no further then Dave Grohls collection of rock filled bangers that turned him from "Nirvana drummer" to "rock legend".
Favorite Jams: I'll Stick Around, Weenie Beenie, This Is A Call
Lest Favorite: Floaty
While it's got some of the finest tracks in Foo Fighters history, it loses a lot of it's fun steam about halfway through, with the second half of this record being sadly quite forgettable. But let it be known that the great tracks here are legitimately great.
Favorite Jams: Breakout, Generator, Stacked Actors
Lest Favorite: Live-In Skin
One of Foo Fighters finest albums, bringing in the over-the-top rock and roll swagger of yesteryear, to the polish, grit and fun of more modern rock staples, creating a fun as hell and refreshingly creative album from one of rocks loudest voices (Both literally and figuratively).
Favorite Jams: White Limo, These Days, I Should Have Known
Lest Favorite: A Matter Of Time
It's fine.
Favorite Jams: Something From Nothing, The Feast and The Famine, What Did I Do?/God As My Witness
