It is not necessarily that Architects come forth with the catchiest vocals or something that sounds like other music out currently, but the arrangements should be what capture listeners easiest on “Reciprocity”. The guitars that flitter in the background are the true thing to be toasted on the track, even as the bass gives these guitars a run for their money, bashing through in all of their chunky glory. To…

I don’t know exactly how many people are familiar with the band, but this was my first actual serious listening to The Appleseed Cast. I don’t want to start off a review with just shoving The Appleseed Cast into a pre-determined label, as there is just so much more to this band than fitting into some genre that people may ignore immediately. The disc plays well on so many levels,…

Apologetix – New And Used Hits (CD)

Apologetix have been doing their style of parody for a number of years, and I’ve been able to stick with them as they’ve gotten more famous, more convincing in their parodies, and dare I say it better with each track? This is a double-disc, compiling the best of the Apologetix along with their newest disc of tracks, and I feel that the newest should be covered more – I mean,…

Apologetix – Grace Period (CD)

For those unfamiliar with the band, the Apologetix describe themselves as “”Weird Al” Yankovic meets Billy Graham”. They sent me their prior release “Keep the Change”, which is still one of my favorite CD’s to listen to.

The parodies are much more musically faithful to the original,…
