How Do You Do is an album that is like fine wine; it gets better with age. Get To Know You is an impressive introduction, with emotive sentiments tying in perfectly with intricate arrangements. The intense feelings that are brought to bear during How Do You Do represent the glue that holds the track together. While there are definitely rising and falling moments to be experienced here, the same nuanced,…
X-Men has continually been the one super hero franchise that has had solid titles made for it, through the course of the last twenty years. While many of these titles now are focused on the fighting aspect of the X-Men, X-Men Destiny keeps things interesting by building an action-RPG title from scratch. What results is a varied experience that stays fresh through repeated plays of the title, all with a…
The sheer amount of energy providing supplements currently on the market clutters things up considerably, and I would venture to guess that not many are able to find the perfect supplement for their needs as a result. However, Betancourt has created in Ripped Juice EX2 a product that works well, no matter whether the individual works out seriously or just needs to cut off a few pounds for their class…
One could take a different fat burning supplement every day for a year and not have went through the sheer number of products on the market. The active ingredients that they contain, as well as what they are touted to do, vary considerably. One has to educate themselves thoroughly before purchasing a product, and I feel that Better Body Sports’ Phoenix should be seriously considered by anyone that wants to…
Out of the Sun is the first track on The Loose Hinges’ self-titled album, hitting listeners with a sound that is boldly different than practically anything that is on the market. The female vocals, coupled with the shifting, slinky sound achieved by the rest of the band has no comparison. Hints of Dusty Springfield and Nancy Sinatra can be heard in this aforementioned vocals, but the electronic arrangements that cradle…
Tony Desimone is an artist that wishes to establish himself as being one of the major forces of Americana rock. By taking on bits and hints of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, and even newer acts like Third Eye Blind and Matt Nathanson, what results on The Second Time Around is something that bleeds red, white and blue. This does not mean that Desimone saturates everything with Old Glory, but rather…
The attention span of the average music listener is short; most tracks are able to end in about three minutes. eM feels that they can create a track in Promise Me that will keep the attention of these listeners, and I feel that they are able to succeed with this single. The track looks back to the days of Kraftwerk for inspiration; the band is able to modernize that sound…
I have a soft spot for bands that have an emotive rock velour – All The Right Moves start out of the gate with a blend of Yellowcard, Philmore, and Melee. Point of View will impress with every recorded note – the production allows the splashy drum, honest vocals, and fulfilling arrangements to work perfectly. At the end of a single listen, I found myself following the band’s imperative. With…
The June Rise create in Good Lion a track that is bouncy and will immediately capture the attention of anyone that may be listening in. Their tender touch during Pull The Arrow will undoubtedly keep fans focused in – the rich instrumentation is what does it. Nothing more than the interactions between the different instruments are need to create some of the most affecting music that we have heard this…
There is not a band that has came out with a title this year that comes forth in such a unique way as Frank. There is no easy way to categorize the band, which ties themselves to the B-52s, R.E.M., Fastball, and even classic acts like Queen and The Rolling Stones. With each track on this album, Frank comes one step close to showcasing this unique flair. Peace Out is…
