HARD LOVE is an album released in 2016 by the Christian rock band NEEDTOBREATHE. To me, it’s doesn’t have like the stereotypical worship sound to it. It’s got a kind of electronic/rock feel which I absolutely love. I’ve only been into the band for about two weeks and I can’t get enough of them. For me, it’s like just real music if that makes sense. This is a rating of the album in my opinion now, but the more I listen to it, it could change.

Live Collection – Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band EP Review
Everyone knows that The Boss is absolutely amazing live. I mean I’ve never been to one of his shows but I’ve listened and watched a couple before and found out that they were pretty long. It’s kind of hard to pack parts of his performance in an Ep – but I love this collection. Some of my favorites by Bruce and even better – live!
[Read more…]Dr. Feelgood – Mötley Crüe Album Review
Mötley Crüe, the infamous party rockers and crazy men of rock, sure did live up to their name. Mötley Crüe started out as a club band composed of Nikki Sixx, bassist from previous band London; Mick Mars, lead guitar; Tommy Lee, drums; and Vince Neil on vocals. The band formed on the Sunset Strip in Los Angelos in the early 1980s. A few of their songs got minor radio play prior to the big release of Dr. Feelgood due to people thinking that they were a spawn of Satan. Yes, I am being serious, people thought that Mötley Crüe was working for Satan. Dr. Feelgood took off immediately following its release in 1989 at the peak of glam metal rock. The album is coming off of a tragic accident with Nikki Sixx, who had overdosed on heroine and pronounced dead for two minutes. Thankfully paramedics were able to revive him by using two adrenaline shots to the heart. Dr. Feelgood was the first and last album the band would do as a group till their return in 1996. The album tore the band apart due to Nikki Sixx demanding that everyone go “clean” from drugs and alcohol for the whole tour and album which didn’t go over well with Vince Neil in particular causing him to leave after this album in 1992.

[Read more…]At Night, Alone. – Mike Posner Album Review
Mike Posner the one hit wonder, the artist that everyone forgot about, “the cooler than me guy” was silent for almost 5 years after the release of his album 31 Minutes to Takeoff in 2010 which included the hit Cooler Than Me. Mike Posner came back firing in 2016 with the surprise album “At Night, Alone.” Mike Posner changed his former poppy self to a more stripped down somber artist. At Night, Alone is the perfect album for well, it’s pretty self explanatory for when you should listen to it and he even releases a 15 second introduction to the album explaining just that. At Night Alone contains 10 tracks, an intro, outro, and 6 remixed tracks. For once the remixed tracks add a different sound to each track and aren’t awful. The remixes of each song are just a more upbeat and poppy version of the song which goes back to Mike Posner’s early days of an artist. For this review though, I will only be looking at the main tracks for this in depth album review. The album ended up peaking at #12 on the Billboard 200 charts and had one top 5 hit in “I Took A Pill In Ibiza.”
