About This Blog

This blog is dedicated to exposing new and interesting music to people who otherwise might never ventured outside of the realm of popular music, or their preferred genre. The music I will try to review a mix of all different types of music, with a focus on genres I like (metal and experimental music).

I encourage everyone reading this blog to give each of the albums I review a listen, even if you don't think you'll like it, and try to open your mind to new sounds and consents. It might be very rewarding.

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute

        Frances the Mute is the second studio album by American experimental progressive rock band, The Mars Volta. A fun fact about this band: the "Volta" in the band's name comes from a term in a book by Federico Fellini, which he defines to mean "a changing of scene, or a turnaround". The "Mars" part of the name just came from the band's fascination with science fiction. What does these two words mean together? Who knows. The Mars Volta stands out to me as a band due to the unusually loud, chaotic, and powerful nature of their music. Progressive music is often chaotic, but The Mars Volta takes it to a whole new level. You will be listening to one of their songs, and suddenly BAM! Cement truck of guitars and synths to the face! In addition, the amazing and unique vocals of Cedric Bixler-Zavala bring a lot to the band's music. His voice is extremely powerful and is able to quickly and flawlessly switch between standard rock vocals to s...

Pink Floyd Albums Ranked Best to Worst

Man, its been a long time since I've posted on this blog. This doesn't necessarily mean that I'll be back to posting regularly, but this is something I've been wanting to do for a while. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, and I've been listening to them a lot recently, so I decided to make the official, definitive list of Pink Floyd albums from best to worst. That's right, if you disagree with me you are wrong. Just kidding, but enough joking around, here it is! One of the few photos of all members of Pink Floyd together. (Left to Right, Top to Bottom) Nick Mason, Syd Barret, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour #1 The Wall Yes, The Wall is my favorite Pink Floyd album, come at me Floyd purists. The Wall is one of those albums that fans like to say is bad/overrated retroactively because it got too popular, also maybe because it has a sound that is much different and more accessible than a lot of their albums. But regardles...

Молчат Дома - Этажи

You may be wondering, 'Is the band Молчат Дома, who created the album, Этажи, a foreign band?' and 'Are they going to be singing some non-english language, perhaps Russian?' The answer to both of these questions is yes. I can't remember how I found this album originally, but one day it came up in my YouTube recommended, I instantly recognized the cover, and decided to give it a listen. It was really good. It reminded of me listening to Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures for the first time. Note: In this review, I italicize Russian words written in the Roman alphabet, put "quotation marks" around English translations, and do nothing to Russian words written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Молчат Дома or Molchat Doma (roughly translates to "The Houses are Silent") is a 'cold wave' band. This is a genre of music that I don't know too much about, but from what I understand the genre is close to goth, except more detached and minimalistic. Si...
