Rise Against – Siren Song of the Counter-Culture EP (CD)

I’ve never liked Rise Against as much as many of my friends, but these five cuts off of “Siren Song of the Counter-Culture” has fast become some of the most-played tracks on my radio show. “Paper Wings” has the perfect mix of scratchy vocals and smoothed-out yet break-neck guitar lines. The tightness of the band is also a key factor into the massive enjoyment I’ve taken from this disc, whether…

DINOFLAGELLATE BLOOMS features eleven compositions composed, produced and performed by Manorexia aka JG Thirlwell. Begun in Berlin in 2005, and completed in 2011. The album was recorded at Thirlwell’s Self Immolation studios in Brooklyn, and the 5.1 mixes were made at Harvestworks Studio with Paul Geluso.

Louie Season One (Blu-Ray)

Louie is the perfect example of how FX may just be the best cable channel currently in existence. While hindered in terms of storyline by the fact that it does not enjoy the same hands-off status as an HBO or Showtime, FX does a tremendous job in stretching the boundaries and creating new and innovative types of shows for their viewers. Louie, starring Louis CK, is a perfect example of…

Fast Five Soundtrack (CD)

The type of music that has been present on the Fast and Furious franchise’s soundtracks has been the perfect blend of genres, tempos, and sounds. The blazing speed of each of the films is presented quite well with their soundtracks, and the Fast Five Soundtrack does not disappoint. The disc’s first track, “How We Roll” by Busta Rhymes, will immediately kick listeners in the ass and keep them focused in…

Big Time Rush – Season One, Volume Two (DVD Set)

We were lucky enough to review the first half of Big Time Rush’s first season a few months back, and the release of the second half so soon after the first shows that Nickelodeon wishes to strike while the iron is hot. For those viewers that wish to go back and see what they may have missed the first time, this is a great thing to hear.

Katika Sandals (Black)

Going through any sort of shoe store, one will undoubtedly find countless variations that are virtually indistinguishable from each other. The amount of creativity in regards to shoe styles, design, and overall look seems to be tremendously small. However, we here at NeuFutur were just tapped to review a pretty distinct pair of sandals. These sandals, a current release by MBT shoes, ensure high fashion bundled alongside considerable functionality. Katika…

Ceremony (Blu-Ray)

I was unfamiliar with the works of Max Winkler, the progeny of Henry Winkler, before I picked up a copy of this Blu-Ray. However, there seems to be the same dedication for filmmaking and for telling an interesting story as eir father. This is because Ceremony is a rare example of a film that defies convention at all sides – the film originally was released on Demand TV rather than…

Boondock Saints: Truth and Justice Edition (Blu-Ray)

When it comes to the top movies of the late nineties, I believe that Boondock Saints would be high up on anyone’s list. However, Boondock Saints has not received an exhaustive Blu-Ray treatment to this point. Fox has noticed that and has released a new Blu-Ray for Boondock Saints – the Truth and Justice Edition this month.

Smartwater (Water)

It still boggles my mind that there is such variation in the quality of bottled water. Perhaps it is due to the lack of sturdy standards for the bottled water industry or is just a lack in quality owing to the $4/case cost of the product. However, Smartwater is able to create an impressive product while still making it available to a wide subset of the population. The vapor distillation…

Attack of the Killer Facts! (Book)

Attack of the Killer Facts! has 320 pages of sheer insanity to it. Specifically, the author Grzymkowski has delved deep to inform eir readers about the existence of goat-sucking vampires, crazy types of food, aliens, and even how individuals have perished due to home goods. Rather than furthering urban legends, Grzymkowski has tirelessly cited information for each one of the facts.
