Album Review: Nonpoint - "Nonpoint"

DAMN. This is hard, aggressive, and angry all rolled into one. Everything you'd want to mosh to and more. Even the slower(ish) songs make you want to rip someone's head off. I don't know if it's because Elias Soriano has such a raw and mean voice or if it's the hard hitting drums and guitars, but wow. In my opinion, this gets the Pissed-Off Album of the Year Award of 2012. 4 out of 5 stars.

Album Review: Muse - "The 2nd Law"

Muse has such a creative way of writing songs. Their instrumentation, as always, is unbelievable on this album. This could be an acquired taste for you, because they get pretty theatrical, like a musical. Hearing this I feel like I should be flying through space or something. It puts me in a daze. But it's great because it's the sort of thing that zones you out and makes you forget about reality for a bit. 4 out of 5 stars!

Album Review: Three Days Grace - "Transit of Venus"

This starts off with a super mellow song, but it tricks you, because the song eventually goes balls to the wall. The beat along with the rhythm of the guitars is great. I feel like the band has toned it down a bit compared to what they were like when they first got big. All in all, this album isn't TOO impressive, but there are a few songs that I did really like. Check out "Sign of The Times," "Chalk Outline," and "Broken Glass." 3 out of 5 stars!

Album Review: Papa Roach - "The Connection"

I could not love Papa Roach more than I do now. Lately I've been hearing albums with one constant beat with every song sounding the same. THIS album though, changes it up with every song. It's so refreshing! I genuinely enjoyed all the elements they put into this. Their live shows with these songs have to be KILLER. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Pick it up!
