Live Listen Erased

When it comes to iconic bands from the 90s The Smashing Pumpkins is certainly one of the best but their career has extended past that decade and with MANY albums to cover in a very extended catalogue so tune in to hear my thoughts on their albums ranked from worst to best.

"When I turn 30 I'm becoming a Country/folk singer" This was Post Malone's tweet back in 2015 and sure enough 9 years later at the age of 29 he did it. The musical chameleon has transformed himself for this latest album and released a country rock sounding affair with a bit of his flair of course but was it any good? Tune in to hear my thoughts on this album. Post Malone - F-1 Tr...

After seven years and seven singles Falling In Reverse have finally released their fifth album and I don't quite think anyone was expecting anything less than what was found on here.

Mushroomhead have built their name over 30 years but now are going for a more commercial sound as opposed to their earlier efforts and with multiple line up changes in a band with ten members, three of which are singers, you have to wonder if they have what it takes to redefine the band while keeping the old fans happy.

After the first episode came out I was inundated about covering various other musicians so after a while I finally got a panel together to discuss some more controversial musicians which was so long it had to be split over 2 episodes.

When I heard that Empire Of The Sun were back with a new album I had a moment of clarity and then that nostalgia wave hit me hard. Good times of listening to Potbellez, Scissor Sisters and this band reminded me of younger, dumber and (perhaps) better times but would this wave ride out for the record? Empire Of The Sun - Ask That God https://open.spotify.com/album/5iEtQfZATfimid3Ogvce5m?si=O53sAJhI...

Category 7 is a supergroup so you know what that means right? I kind of stumbled across the band after they came up as a suggestion and then my memory jumped into gear once I heard the second track. Anyway here's my thoughts on this album.

This was one of the reasons I started the 5 Minute Review series - to check out metal bands I wouldn't normally listen to and get me outside of my comfort zone. In Hearts Wake certainly carry a weight to their name in the Aussie Metal scene but would their latest album be reason for me to listen to their music? In Hearts Wake - Incarnation https://open.spotify.com/album/7tbIYPZtSjE02oMgCiJuoK?...

All things considered I haven't listened to a lot of power metal bands. It's been one of those fringe genres I always respected and about as far as I delved was Blind Guardian or Helloween. Powerwolf certainly were a welcoming surprise a few years ago when I stumbled across them so with their newest album I knew I had to check it out. Powerwolf - Wake Up The Wicked https://open.spotify.com...

A Smashing Pumpkins album dropped with little hype and minimal warning with possibly a dire and mysterious message in the albums name. Is this album going to be a comeback record?

Incubus is a great band who have written some phenomenal music during their time, however, it has been safe to say interest in the band has waned over the years. Regardless I wanted to talk about their music and rank it from worst to best in a classic Youtube list fashion so please enjoy my opinion on Incubus and their music and make sure to tell me your list of their music.

Crowded House are certainly not the band I rush back and play through any of hteir albums. They are best left for a few songs on my 12 hour playlist that, lets face facts, is likely to be skipped. But a day and a an age ago I certainly enjoyed their music and s I figured with a new album out I should check it out. Partially for the music and also because I thought the band were gone for good.

Expectations are pretty high (no pun intended) when your band is one of the pillars for the stoner rock scene so Fu Manchu had to battle up hill from the start.
