Heroes of Bikini Bottom (DVD)

While I have heard much gnashing of teeth about the irregular schedule that Spongebob Squarepants and other Nickelodeon cartoons have, I feel that this allows the creative team to keep the shows fresh without experiencing burnout as rapidly as other children’s show. Nowhere is this better seen than in Heroes of Bikini Bottom, the Spongebob DVD that is touching down on June 14th. The 88 minute-runtime of this DVD gives…

Premier Protein Shake (Protein Drink)

At NeuFutur, we go through a tremendous amount of different nutritional supplements. Protein drinks, along with thermogenics, are one of the few things that we use on a daily basis. Premier Nutrition has created a single-serve drink in three flavors (Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry) that gives drinkers 30 grams of protein while only containing 160 calories.

The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (DVD)

I keep pretty abreast of the different DC comics’ cartoons, but I have not (until this 2-DVD set) really had the chance or the ability to properly get into the different Marvel franchises. If you are in a similar boat as me, there is no reason why you should not search out both volumes of The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. This release hits on all cylinders, beginning with the unique…

Remy Martin VSOP (80 Proof)

We reviewed Remy Martin a few years back, but felt that we did not give the spirit as detailed of courage as we would have liked. This time around, we have familiarized ourselves with the grand scheme of cognacs and feel that the Remy Martin VSOP may just provide the best quality for value. The Remy Martin VSOP has one of the largest distributions of any cognacs present in American…

Jake Allen – Etherica (CD)

2011 has been a pretty dead year for music. We’ve went through the releases of countless artists in a variety of genres, from Christian to punk to metal and even classical, and very few acts really seem to shine. I contend that Jake Allen’s Etherica is one of a small number of titles that ultimately deserve repeated listens. Allen’s work, beginning with the disc’s first track “Ascension”, is of the…

Face Candy – Waste Age Teen Land (CD)

Eyedea (the late Michael Larsen) was one of the first celebrities that I met. Back in the early 2000s, he (along with Brother Ali and Musab) freestyled for a crowd that was not informed that they were too young to attend their concert next year. He absolutely laid down some sick freestyles over RJD2 instrumentals, and we gave him some NeuFutur love. However, we were able to get a hold…

INTRODUCING LA-EX FEATURING FORMER AMERICAN IDOL FINALIST ANTONELLA BARBA

LA-ex, as a band, may be brand new to the scene, but the trio consists of three seasoned pros with recognizable names. The electro-pop outfit is fronted by Antonella Barba, a former American Idol Finalist, known for her amazing voice, and steamy off-screen scandals and rounded out by beatmakers Epic and SQRL, who have sold millions of albums with their group Crazytown and as producers/remixers. After locking themselves in the…

All Time Low – Dirty Work Deluxe Edition (CD)

All Time Low is a band that has paid their dues. They have been touring endlessly since their formation in 2003, and I believe that they have evolved considerably since the last time we covered them (2006’s Put Up or Shut Up). The deluxe edition of Dirty Work contains three extra tracks, adding further context to what may just be their best album yet. “Do You Want Me (Dead?)” is…

Rhapsody of Fire – Triumph or Agony (CD)

This band has a lot of fans, and I had no clue who they were until I was able to get this album and listen to it a few times. “Triumph or Agony” starts out with a brand of instrumentation and orchestration that would be better in a movie, while this style comes through slightly during the opening of the title track. Rhapsody of Fire skillfully add their own brand…

Reza – Ray of the Wine (CD)

Reza’s music is interesting. That’s probably the only thing that came to my mind when I first came to listen to “Ray of the Wine”. The only Persian-American that I’ve ever reviewed, Reza mixes eir two heritages incredibly well, placing in a traditional set of instruments with more American ones (bass, electronic keyboard). What first emanates to listeners’ ears is “Wild Hair”, a foreign-language track that skillfully mixes the ancient…

Heaven & Hell: Radio City Music Hall – Live! (Blu-Ray)

Heaven & Hell was a supergroup beyond even Black Sabbath’s wildest dreams. Consisting of past and present Sabbath members, their run at the top was only cut short by Ronnie James Dio’s untimely demise. The quality of Heaven & Hell: Radio City Music Hall – Live! Is nothing less than impressive. Where many concert videos seem to be lacking a truly visionary camera direction, this release ensures that every important…
