Album Review: Kid Rock - Rebel Soul

Kid Rock really impressed me with this one. I like the style he's gone towards. It's a big mix of a lot of different genres. Very grass-roots with a lot of soul. There are classic grooves and some country twangs here an there. Plus you gotta admit, he writes great party music. This is perfect to rock out to while you're drinking with your buddies. I really liked track 10 "Mr. Rock N Roll." 4 out of 5 stars. Worth checkin out!

Album Review: Deftones - "Koi No Yokan"

"Koi No Yokan" is named after a Japanese proverb meaning "promise of love." Lets just say, this is the first time I've listened to an album multiple times in a row in one sitting. It's sludgy, crunchy, and raunchy as always with Deftones. Hauntingly melodic. Typical Deftones with typical greatness from them. Very sexy too. Next to Linkin Park this is my favorite album of 2012. 5 out of 5 stars!

Album Review: All That Remains - "A War You Cannot Win"

Totally impressive. They found the perfect mixture of chaos and calamity. Amazing screams, and lots of it. But then there's the most amazing singing you wouldn't expect. It's driving and well balanced. And it's unbelievable how fast these guys play their instruments. This album definitely packs a punch, only to turn around with some sappiness. Loved it. 5 out of 5 stars.

Album Review: Flyleaf - "New Horizons"

Better cherish this one. It's the last of Lacey you'll hear with Flyleaf. She's being replaced by (amazing) Kristen May of Vedera. You can tell with this album that Flyleaf has really grown musically. They seem more mature. There's more slow, heartfelt songs on this album, but they still get down and gritty a bit like they used to when they first got big. It's a great mixture of polar opposites. If you're a Flyleaf fan you'll enjoy it for sure. 5 out of 5 stars.
