"Dirt Room" was the first single leaked before the album&lt;br /&gt;release, followed by "Say It" which is more fitting of the pop genre. The&lt;br /&gt;album hit #13 on the Billboard chart. It hasn't varied from the usual&lt;br /&gt;melodic tones as from Foiled. However, there are a lot more blatant uses of&lt;br /&gt;studio additions with synthesizers to create echoing effects as heard in&lt;br /&gt;"The End". Also, "Blue Does" seems like it barely used any real recordings,&lt;br /&gt;which is unfortunate. They wrote a lot more "slower" songs that don't&lt;br /&gt;exactly get you pumped up but I guess that fits with their usual soft tones&lt;br /&gt;anyway. Another anticipated single "Weight of the World" as pretty much a&lt;br /&gt;let down because the song progresses from Justin Furstenfeld's speaking&lt;br /&gt;tones - to attempting singing, then just yelling, and back to slightly&lt;br /&gt;emotional talking. Overall it's still a good album, but I was expecting&lt;br /&gt;better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Review by Laryssa Matvichuk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7007199228904386314-3540023228504991239?l=wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/feeds/3540023228504991239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7007199228904386314&amp;postID=3540023228504991239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/3540023228504991239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/3540023228504991239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/2009/05/blue-october-approaching-normal-review.html' title='Blue October - &quot;Approaching Normal&quot;

This is James from A Calculated Use of Sound, 2008 was a great year for music, loud rock in particular. I was originally going to make this a top 10 list, but it was too hard to narrow it down to just 10 albums, so without further adieu, I present to you, my top 15 loud rock albums of 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61kEtmzCa4L._SL500_AA240_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 211px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61kEtmzCa4L._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;15. Dir En Grey- Uroboros&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This album truly surprised me. After writing off Dir En Grey as a band past their prime, I was reluctant to listen to this. Boy am I glad I did. The album is a dark, unsettling, career defining piece of at. The true highlight of the album is the incredible range of vocalist Kyo. From death growls to melodic croons to Mike Patton sounding gurgles, this guy can do it all. A truly serendipitous listen and my first recommended record of 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ctQDYjBvL._SL500_AA240_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ctQDYjBvL._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;14. Bloodbath- The Fathomless Mastery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sweden's domineers of death metal return in 2008 creating one of the best records of their career. Returning with vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt for the first time since 2005's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nightmares Made Flesh, &lt;/span&gt;Bloodbath craft an album that is technical, easy on the ears in terms of death metal, and rather catchy. Mikael Akerfeldt's growls are violent, yet somewhat tamed and are the obvious highlight of the album. In a genre full of monotony, Bloodbath have created something fresh and exciting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JPLXQxlFH80/SWWAFgpEmeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/p1WCrtjkBCc/s1600-h/mesa-cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JPLXQxlFH80/SWWAFgpEmeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/p1WCrtjkBCc/s200/mesa-cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288774169566419426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;13. Mesa Verde- The Old Road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was a great year for emo, and underground music as a whole. This is sorrow in musical form. Mesa Verde have crafted one of the greatest underground releases of this millennium, not since City of Caterpillar's self titled record have I been so moved by a performance in emotive hardcore. Every person will find a moment in this record that they can cling too. This is the best underground release of 2008 by a long shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/Boris-smileus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 196px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/Boris-smileus.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;12. Boris - Smile&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boris is a Japanese band that has its roots in drone metal, a sub-genre of metal that involves a large amount of feedback. Luckily, with their latest release, Smile, they have managed to take a more melodic approach to their music, while combing the almost punk sound of their 2005 release, Pink. Creating lush soundscapes and displaying phenomenal guitar and bass work, Boris have created a truly unique sound that warrants them a solid place on this list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/Unitednations-secondpressing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 211px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/Unitednations-secondpressing.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;11. United Nations - United Nations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band is a mystery.... literally. With almost no confirmed members of this grindcore "supergroup" (aside from Geoff Rickly of Thursday members of Converge and The Number 12 Looks Like You are rumored to be in the band), United Nations have resurrected the mid-90's screamo sound, while adding their own special twists along the way. I have to say the most epic track on this album is "Say Goodbye to General Figment of the USS Imagination," which features a full-blown saxophone solo. These guys are so awesome, they were attacked by the REAL United Ntions for "stealing their name and using a logo that is too similar to that of the international organization." How punk is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Sunndomkirke.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 221px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Sunndomkirke.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. Sunn O))) - Dømkirke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting off the top 10 is a live album exclusive to vinyl made by the gods of drone metal Sunn O))). What makes this album truly unique is that it was recorded in a 900 year old cathedral in Bergen, Norway as part of the town's annual arts festival, the Borealis Festival. Sunn O))) is known for bass heavy, feedback laden drone metal that may make listeners' ears hurt after a while, however, on Dømkirke&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;they seem more restrained. The 4 songs, rounding out at an hour length, are based on Gregorian chants and utilize a variety of instruments such as church organ, trumpet, and of course, Sunn O)))'s heavy bass and guitar. The band is also joined by ex-Mayhem vocalist Attila Csihar, making for an live experience that is beautiful, chilling, and unforgettable. REMEMBER! MAXIMUM VOLUME YIELDS MAXIMUM RESULTS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/61/Agadez.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 228px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/61/Agadez.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. The Mars Volta- The Bedlam In Goliath&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Weird" is one way to describe The Mars Volta, another is "genious." The band's latest release, The Bedlam In Goliath, is the band's most varied and accessible to date. The album is full of the band's signature Latin influences fused with progressive rock. The album just plain rocks hard, 'nuff said. Listen to the first single," Wax Simulacra, and tell me I'm wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/D4-cw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 218px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/D4-cw.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. Dillinger Four- C I V I L W A R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While 80's fans were anxiously awaiting the decade-in-the-making Guns N' Roses album, Chinese Democracy, punks around the nation were awaiting their own magnum opus from celebrated pop punk act, Dillinger Four. The six year wait was well worth it. C I V I L W A R, is a faultless album. It's full of catchy hooks and meaningful lyrics that make it the best pop punk album I have heard in the past six years... heck it may be the best pop punk album of the new millennium&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/20/Thricealchemyindex3-4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 208px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/20/Thricealchemyindex3-4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. Thrice- The Alchemy Index Vols. III and IV: Air &amp;amp; Earth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thrice's Alchemy Index was a huge undertaking when first announced -  a collection of four unique albums that play like EP's representing each of the four classical elements (Fire, Water, Air and Earth). This installment, Air and Earth, is a well executed display of musical prowess, while staying true to the album's overall concept. The Air disc features free-flowing guitars and some of the most beautiful lyrics Thrice have ever written. The Earth disc is full of raw, acoustic songs that cut right to the core of the listener. This is a landmark work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/The_59_Sound_Cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 196px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/The_59_Sound_Cover.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing says New Jersey like Bruce Springsteen and punk rock. As a resident of the state, I know that these two are important contributions to music that New Jersey has made, and they are both admittedly awesome. But could the two ever mix? The answer, yes, and The Gaslight Anthem have successfully hone this sound, creating one of the catchiest, original, and downright fun albums of 2008. There is not one bad track on this album and everytime I listen to it I discover some new hook that is just plain genious. If these guys keep making music like this, they'll be legends. The Boss would be proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Uolitsos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 193px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Uolitsos.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Underoath- Lost In The Sound Of Separation&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Underoath is a Christian metalcore band that was one of the first ones to do it right. Early albums of theirs such as Act of Despression and the Changing of Times were revolutionary in sound and have been imitated by countless bands. After releasing two more solid albums, they have finally reached the apex of their career. The sound on Lost In The Sound Of Separation is gritty, raw, and just plain epic. It is one of the most unique sounds I have ever heard in metalcore and Underoath just continue to prove why they are one of the most imitated bands in their respective genre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.paramnesiarecords.com/images/PAR004_FC_400x400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 217px;" src="http://www.paramnesiarecords.com/images/PAR004_FC_400x400.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Off Minor - Some Blood&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.paramnesiarecords.com/images/PAR004_FC_400x400.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This band is absolutely phenomenal. Fusing equal parts emo, hardcore, and jazz, Off Minor's songwriting ability is certainly above average. I would expect nothing less from a band featuring former members of seminal emo/hardcore band Saetia. The lyrics are another highlight of this album as exhibited by the following, my favorite lyric:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not torture&lt;br /&gt;This is not surveillance&lt;br /&gt;This is not injustice&lt;br /&gt;This is poetic license permitted by a nations silence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an album that does more in a half hour than most albums accomplish in a whole hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ee/Opeth_-_Watershed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 227px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ee/Opeth_-_Watershed.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3.

Watershed is a monster of an album, featuring some of Opeth's best tracks. There is a large emphasis on keyboards in this album which make for a haunting atmosphere that looms over the entire album. Mikael Akerfeldt's croons and death growls seem quite refined on this album, featuring some of his best vocal performances to date. Also, new guitarist Fredrik Akesson is a great fit for the band, providing riffs that are simply crushing , as on "Heir Apparent," while also showcasing his acoustic abilities on beautiful acoustic passages such as that of opening track, "Coil." Watershed is the proggiest of all Opeth releases, and that certainly isnt' a bad thing. I look forward to seeing where this band goes in the future with their simply incredible music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/Protest_the_Hero_-_Fortress.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 233px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/Protest_the_Hero_-_Fortress.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2.

I can't even begin to describe how good this album is, it is just something one must experience for themselves. Protest the hero can be described only has having the epic prowess and musicianship of Dream Theater, the sweeps and swoops of Between the Buried And Me, and the catchiness of Blink 182. The result? One of the most creative bands in recent years. Did I mention the album's lyrics are all about conquest and capture? Yes it is in fact as epic as I describe it and you should do yourself a favor and listen to this work of art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/Cynic_-_Traced_in_Air.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 228px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/Cynic_-_Traced_in_Air.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1.

In 1993 that album was Cynic's "Focus," a record that blended elements of jazz, progressive rock, and death metal to produce one of the most groundbreaking albums in the progressive metal genre and certainly of the early '90s. However shortly after Cynic went on an indefinite hiatus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward 14 years and it is 2008, and "Traced In Air," the new Cynic album is eagerly anticipated by prog metal fans everywhere. However, after over a decade many questions arise, Can this new record live up to one of the most important metal releases ever? Have Cynic lost their edge? It is safe to say, that after listening to "Traced In Air," countless times that Cynic have surpassed "Focus" to create their new masterpiece. There is no better way to describe the atmosphere and feel of the record than looking at the title, "Traced in Air." It almost feels as though the sound embodies the air through which it is traveling, in all its beauty and yes, sometimes chaos. The record features electronic vocals overlapping smooth flowing soundscapes, resulting in a majesty that is rarely found in metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, having a group of phenomenal musicians helps too, guitarist Paul Masvidal showcases his technical playing abilities on "The Space For This," one of the albums highlights. Drummer Sean Reinert formerly of seminal death metal band,Death, shows his prowess in working with the guitars to produce just the right number of fills and improvisation, so that the music is not overpowered. Bassist, Sean Malone provides a solid rhythm to the entire record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of overall highlights, I feel that this is one of those albums that must be played from start to finish. It is an easy listen, clocking in at just about 35 minutes, but the record feels immense due to the execution of the air concept and the technical musicianship. Obvious accessible tracks are "Integral Birth," and "Evolutionary Sleeper," whereas "King of those Who Know," and "The Unknown Guest," Will quench the thirst of prog metal fans looking for something fresh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cynic are back folks, and they are doing what they do best. This is the album that will save metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there you have it folks! The top 15 loud rock albums as chosen by me for 2008.

It could be the melody, or just the message that the song is trying to get across; either way, The Fratellis, a rather new alternative rock band from Scotland are able to do this with their song “Flathead.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;The song starts off simple enough – it has almost a jungle-type feel to it, with an acoustic guitar playing a short riff and noises similar to thunder in the background. But it continues to build, once the band’s lead singer Jon Fratelli starts to sing a simple couplet. Then the song bursts into a brief moment of elevation, with Jon shouting his lyrics. It alternates between jungle-theme and loud rock, and then finally the band pulls the song into one of the catchiest themes I’ve ever heard – a few measures in a 7/8 time signature. Although this part of the song contains no actual lyrics, it is extremely energizing, and fun to sing along to.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;I’ve found that essentially all of The Fratellis’ music is like this; it’s somewhat simple to listen to, and quite easy to pick up on. Think about some early singles by The Beatles, such as “Love Me Do” – those songs were incredibly easy to learn the lyrics to, and just fun to be a part of while singing along with them. This is what The Fratellis have accomplished with only two LPs.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;While both LPs are catchy, however, they do differ somewhat in their styles. Their first album, released in 2006, is called “Costello Music.” The tracks found on this album have a punk-influenced sound, but are poppy at the same time. “Flathead” along with some other faster-paced songs such as “Henrietta” and “Baby Fratelli” are found on this album. Their second album, in contrast, is a little more mellowed out. Entitled “Here We Stand,” it was released in mid-2008. Some of its slower songs include: “Acid Jazz Singer,” “Lupe Brown,” and “Milk and Money.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;Depending on whether you’re in the mood to listen to fast-paced music or slower-paced music, The Fratellis have given you a distinct choice. Both albums contain extremely catchy songs, so either way you’ll be able to pick up on the music quickly. “Costello Music” has generally gotten higher ratings than “Here We Stand,” but it should be noted that the latter was released in the same week as British rock band Coldplay’s fourth studio album, which may have skewed the ratings slightly.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;So if you’re looking for an alternative rock group to shout your lungs out to, The Fratellis could be a prime choice of yours. Their varying styles of music will keep you interested, and you just may find yourself feeling joyous for no apparent reason while listening to them, like me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;-Eric Rosenberg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7007199228904386314-1063152997760717237?l=wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/feeds/1063152997760717237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7007199228904386314&amp;postID=1063152997760717237' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/1063152997760717237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/1063152997760717237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/2008/12/fratellis-band-review.html' title='The Fratellis Band Review'/><author><name>Hakuran</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13812250101956891178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007199228904386314.post-6562334287294217404</id><published>2008-12-10T00:51:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T01:15:25.840-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Music Review: Cynic's "Traced In Air"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2818713752_e2520f2d14.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2818713752_e2520f2d14.jpg?v=0" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Album Title: "Traced In Air'&lt;br /&gt;Artist: Cynic&lt;br /&gt;Review By James Kukucka&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very rare that an album comes about and defines a genre.

I would not recommend this to the light hearted. However since the start of Slipknot they have mellowed out. You can really hear the skill level difference from their previous albums. In their older records the music is much simpler and more driving. However the chords and riffs that are played by the guitarists are much more complex and intricate. Not only do the musicians show a gaining of skills but Corey the singer does as well. He does not only scream in this album. He has a very talented acoustic piece titled “snuff”.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The lyrical content is another thing to note on this album. Even though this is a metal album the lyrics do make sense and tend to talk about current events. “All Hope is Gone” focuses on the decay of the very nation that we live in and what a better way to express it than by screaming about it; whereas “execute” seems to describe what is happening in the war that we are in. There is then a contrast of worldly affairs with the writers own self flaws in “Vendetta”. I believe for a metal album the lyrical content is fair to good. I was a bit concerned about this album, due to the fact it seems as metal bands age the intensity weakens. Slipknot has definitely kept that.  However I was slightly disappointed with the actual lyrical meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As an overall general blanket statement this album is pretty good. For someone who listens to a lot of metal and has a pretty refined taste as to what is good and what is not, to say this is good is saying something. I like something that has just the right balance of anger and edge, but not over done to the point of stupidity, like most death metal bands. In general this album makes it in to the top slipknot albums produced. Possibly even the best album that slipknot has produced.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7007199228904386314-6486603805235112057?l=wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/feeds/6486603805235112057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7007199228904386314&amp;postID=6486603805235112057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/6486603805235112057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/6486603805235112057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-review-for-slipknot-all-hope-is.html' title='Music Review for Slipknot: All Hope Is Gone'/><author><name>Pete W</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08949582362045272428</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ctA2BC0HQzY/STvyO2gP3bI/AAAAAAAAAAs/KHRKv5okrWQ/s72-c/allhopeisgone.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007199228904386314.post-6660924883771986621</id><published>2008-12-07T10:52:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-07T10:54:47.510-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Music Review for Pro-Pain: No End in Sight</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ctA2BC0HQzY/STvxvL1P1PI/AAAAAAAAAAk/9CmrsWNPyu0/s1600-h/PP.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ctA2BC0HQzY/STvxvL1P1PI/AAAAAAAAAAk/9CmrsWNPyu0/s320/PP.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277077181326939378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music Review for Pro-Pain: No End in Sight&lt;br /&gt;Written By: Peter Willette&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a general sense I believe this is among the best albums Pro-Pain has produced. They really come together as a band to create a fine production. All of their skills have grown tremendously from their first release. Unlike some bands who as they age sound worse Pro-Pain has taken their extra skill and focused it on one hard hitting, hardcore album. This is a must hear album for anyone who likes hardcore speed metal, but also likes a change up and break from it every once in a while. This album has a definite perfect balance of chaos and serenity.  &lt;br /&gt;To start Pro-pain uses so many different musical faces that it’s pretty unbelievable. They have the typical metal distortion for a portion of the time. Other times they use more conventional ska vocals and even instrumentals. There are also times of mixed punk rock, speed metal and thrash. Just when you think the album has presented all their tricks, they throw in some rain and quite an interesting progression in “God’s Will”. The vocals range from traditional single voice screaming to several voices melodically and lyrically in synch. Sometimes it sounds like there is a small chorus singing with the band.  It is pretty amazing how the singer can scream and pitch his voice all at the same time. Though his range is usually in the low pitches, which is good for metal, he has his bouts of high pitched screaming, usually as background vocals. This makes for a good variety and a good bout of interesting effects and layers. &lt;br /&gt; The lyrical content of Pro-pain is pretty standard of most hardcore. The album starts out with a song that seems to be directed towards many current events taking place in recent years. “Let the Blood run through the streets” inspires listeners to stand together and strong in hard times and fight for the revolution.  “Halo” is more focused on individual moral in an everyday regular Joe’s life.  From here the lyrical content takes a certain pattern. Like I said before it resembles most hardcore lyrical content. It is focused on being strong on the inside and taking what you are given and being sure not to let your voice be silenced. I find these lyrics to be very inspirational, even though at the same time they are angry. Who wouldn’t be angry after being chained, beaten and shackled?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7007199228904386314-6660924883771986621?l=wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/feeds/6660924883771986621/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7007199228904386314&amp;postID=6660924883771986621' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/6660924883771986621'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/6660924883771986621'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-review-for-pro-pain-no-end-in.html' title='Music Review for Pro-Pain: No End in Sight'/><author><name>Pete W</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08949582362045272428</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ctA2BC0HQzY/STvxvL1P1PI/AAAAAAAAAAk/9CmrsWNPyu0/s72-c/PP.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007199228904386314.post-5446071223482720633</id><published>2008-12-07T10:26:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-07T10:51:10.266-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Music Review for Devil’s Slingshot: Clinophobia</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if !mso]&gt;

line-height: normal;"&gt;Written By: Peter Willette&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"&gt;The Devil’s Slingshot is a great band. I only recently discovered this band, but I already love them. This is a metal band that no one can complain about the harsh lyrics. There are not any lyrics, but their skills make up for this lack of lyrics. This band, I believe, is best compared to Dream Theatre which I am also a huge fan of. This band is more or less a solo band. They are truly amazing for all of the soloing they do, while keeping the songs tight and really well tied together. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;The skill of each individual musician is amazing. The guitars go from low to high in an instant. They also change from dueling scale based solo right back in sync flawlessly. The guitars are not too driving or distorted for the most part like in many metal bands. They tend to feel lighter and have a better flow . They do not play quite as fast as say speed metal. Most of the time when the guitars are performing solos, it really sounds like dragon force. The effects make them seem like they are in a very large concert hall. The drummer I think brings a great uniqueness to this band. Instead of playing your usual double bass way to much like most metal drummers, this drummer takes a freer approach to this music. He plays many different kind of grooves. His beats range from funk to rock to more a Latin feeling.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He even knows when to completely cut out to let the solo’s really shine. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;This band is really a good listener’s band. If you want to hear something different then this is it. There are no lyrics, but this allows the instrumentation to really stand out. This is music I would listen to while just chilling out. Unlike most metal it doesn’t really pump you up or make you want to fight. It’s pretty mellow for the most part. I think the lack of the lyrics and the different drumming approach really gives the band a more laid back feel. I like this band, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and it seems like something good to do work, study or just chill out listening to. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7007199228904386314-5446071223482720633?l=wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/feeds/5446071223482720633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7007199228904386314&amp;postID=5446071223482720633' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/5446071223482720633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7007199228904386314/posts/default/5446071223482720633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wrpi-loudrock.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-review-for-devils-slingshot.html' title='Music Review for Devil’s Slingshot: Clinophobia'/><author><name>Pete W</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08949582362045272428</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007199228904386314.post-5932052675885290502</id><published>2008-12-05T17:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T17:59:33.465-05:00</updated><title type='text'>No Apologies December 5</title><content type='html'>&lt;table str="" style="border-collapse: collapse;
