The flood gates have opened and we have awash a new series of records - re-recording albums with original (or in this case, close to original) band members for a cool and easy payout.

For a brief time in the late 90s and early 2000's System Of A Down and their music captivated our eardrums with their highly infectious grooves and aggressive tones. On this episode I discuss their albums and rank them from worst to best (even though they don't have a bad album). So join me for this music list and don't forget to tell me how you would rank their albums System Of A Down...

It is impossible to set out recording what would perhaps be the most anthemic song this side of the century but it is with a bit of great timing and skill that The Killers would break onto the scene. This is my retro review for its 20th anniversary.

With the passing of Steve Albini and his last album to date being released shortly after we have a precarious moment in music to handle a review.

I don't think I'll ever fully understand why this album chose the artwork it did. Its completely unnecessary as it has nothing to do with original album and Jasta is a name in his own right.

In the days of the late 90s and early 2000's there was perhaps no rockstar as iconic as Marilyn Manson. The musician thrived on theatrics and industrial styled metal that feels so quintessential for the era. So I decided to rank all of his albums from worst to best and I think there will be a few surprises on this list. Tune in to find out. Marilyn Manson https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VYQTN...

When Weezer dropped their debut self titled album it was a turning point for not only thabnd but the music scene. It would later be referred to the Blue Album by fans because of the blue background on the record.
