The end of year music wrapup: part 1

Yes, its only November, but in the spirit of hanging your Christmas decorations out weeks before any of your neighbors, I've decided to publish my thoughts on the good (of which there was little), the bad (of which there was a lot), and the ugly (don't even get me started). So, in no particular order:

The Foo Fighters - In your honor

I've been a fan of Dave Grohl for a while now, and I always look forward to new Foo Fighters material. The last album wasn't my favorite (it just sounded kinda weak), so I was a bit nervous about this one. But my fears were erased on my first listen. Both discs in this double CD are great. The rock songs rock and the acoustic songs rock! I'm glad they did an acoustic album, I've heard a lot of their unplugged stuff and it has always been impressive. Now we have a whole albums' worth!

I give it 8 out of 10


Slipknot - The subliminal verses

Ehhh. There's a couple of songs (Duality) that are good to ok. The rest just doesn't really yank my crank. The vocals are impressive though, most metal bands these days have singers who can't sing, they either grumble or scream. Corey is definitely a step above the crowd.

I give it 5 out of 10




Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze

This album rocks my lame ass. You need this music.

I give it 9 out of 10.
