Cheers: The Final Season (DVD Set)

Cheers is one of a few shows that stayed strong, even as the show wound down in the 1992 – 1993 season. Cheers: The Final Season captures this and showcases another interesting thing. This is the fact that a typical show’s runtime was much longer season-wise then (23 episodes are present on this DVD set, where most shows sputter out in the 15-20 episode range). This 4-disc set ensures that…

a.P.A.t.T. – (L.P.)

I get it. The band is trying to be weird and yet retro-hip with this album. The first track is “The Man Returns from the Hereafter…”, and the only thing that really sticks out about this track are the multiple vocals that assault the listeners at points.

MONO SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM – 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW BACKED BY ORCHESTRA

After touring almost non-stop for five years, MONO hibernated for over a year to focus solely on writing Hymn To The Immortal Wind. The result is their most thoughtful and eclectic album to date. Written and arranged with a hopeful, romantic narrative in mind, the songs string together like chapters in an epic love story.

Antonio Montana & Nitro – Threatening Behavior (CD)

Now, why exactly a rapper would need to censor themselves on a review copy of an album is beyond me. The opening track of “Threatening Behavior” is incredibly solid, with the flows present really getting individuals into the disc even at the earliest strains. “Whatz up witcha” does not have all of the fury and fire of the original, but an interesting backing beat and a s till above-average flow…
