Sleeping with Sirens “How it Feels to be Lost” album review

Published

on

Over the years Sleeping With Sirens has had some major hits most of them before 2012. Songs like “If you can’t hang” and “If I am James Dean, you’re Audrey Hepburn”. Then they tried something a little different with the next  3 albums. They tried some metal, punk and there was a little post-hardcore in there. While I wasn’t a big fan of the direction they were taking I still supported them. I would listen to the albums but not as much as the first 2. 

When I was asked to review the new album I was a bit nervous. So I loaded up the new album and was pleasantly surprised. From the first song “Leave It All Behind”. I was blown away. I felt like I was back in 2010. I wanted to know why they decided to go back to their roots. So I did some digging and I found out they changed labels to Sumerian Records. They also had a little help from some friends as well. 

While SWS has always had guest spots on their album I would never in a million years guess that they would have Benji Maddenfrom Good Charlotte on “Never Enough”. I will not even lie. I may of fangirl squealed when I heard it. 

If you have been a fan for a while or even if you are just checking them out for the first time. I definitely recommend this album. My personal favorites are “Never Enough” and “Agree to Disagree “.

Marilyn Manson is Back

Marilyn Manson just released his 12th album “One Assassination Under God-Chapter 1” on November 22nd 2024. 

This album in my opinion is the best album Manson has put out since Holy Wood.   It has a feeling of albums old and new with little hints of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood. 

The album opens up with “One Assassination Under God” which just gets you ready for what’s to come. With Manson Just finishing his tour, This is the Manson we have been needing for years now. He looks good and sounds great. 

Putting out a few singles from the album , the overall feeling of this album is great. It’s been a while since I’ve like a full album of Manson, while this album isn’t perfect it’s as close as perfection of those early albums were. Of course I love the singles “As Sick as the Secrets we Keep” and “Raise the Red Flag” but I also really enjoyed songs like “Death is not a costume”, “Nod if you understand” and “Sacrilegious” 

I think this new chapter of Mansons life and music is exciting , I hope we get more tours in 2025 and maybe some over the top stage shows like we did in the late 90s early 2000s. I feel the younger generation hasn’t experience a real “Full” on Manson show yet and it’s time for the King to take back his throne at the top of the Shock Rock mountain. 

ALL HAIL MARILYN MANSON

BUSH 30th ANNIVERSARY OF “SIXTEEN STONE” VINYL

Ron

Published

By

I remember when this album came out in 1994 . I was 15 and really discovering all types of music. As being a typical teenage boy I seen the band name “Bush” and thought hmm I love bush, let’s check it out.  It was such an amazing album from beginning to end.  

The new  released vinyl that just came out on November 17th is such a testament to this album being as great then as it is now. Listening to the vinyl just brought back so many memories of being an angst teenager that just wanted to heard. The vinyl package is amazing with lots of photos of the band throughout the years and the sound of the vinyl is so pristine. 

I got my hands on the opaque red vinyl and just looks awesome spinning on the player. It’s crazy to think that this album has so many hits and no filler songs, even the songs that didn’t become hits are just as good as the hits. 

With the hits being “Glycerine”, “Everything Zen” , “Comedown” “Little Things” and “Machinehead” but some of my favorite songs are not the hits songs like “Swim”, “Bomb” and “Alien” which is probably my favorite song on the album. If you’re a fan of Bush or this album or just want to dive into the mid 90s Grunge/Post Grunge era this is a key album to have in your collection.

ALICE IN CHAINS “BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE” VINYL REVIEW

Ron

Alice In Chains have Re-Released the 2009 album on vinyl. This album was the first Alice In Chains in 14 years and the first album with guitarist/singer Willam DuVall after Layne Staley passed away in 2002. 

I was a huge Alice In Chains fan and was a big fan of both Layne and Jerry. When this album first came out I remember sorta pushing it the side only cause of sadness about Layne but after hearing “Check My Brain” I gave it a chance and was so glad that I did. This album is amazing and really put Alice In Chains back into the mainstream. 

The vinyl not only looks super awesome but sounds amazing. If you’re a fan of Alice In Chains and into collecting Vinyl, this album is a must in your collection. It’s a great packed vinyl with 2 vinyls included. 

Side A: All Secrets Known, Check My Brain and Last of My Kind. Side B: Your Decision, A Looking in View. Side C: When The Sun Rose Again, Acid Bubble, Lesson Learned. Side D: Take Her Out, Private Hell, Black Gives Away To Blue
