Album Review: I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it by The 1975


That's a mouthful of a title, isn't it? Also you think someone who grew up with rock would review more rock albums. Again, Anthrax, you can release For All Kings on Spotify whenever you want. In the meantime, I'll give these guys a shot. I kinda know them because they briefly touched the Hot 100 a few months ago. And I heard a few of their songs on Guitar Hero Live. Seems right up my alley. And it just hit Spotify today, so I can't think of a better time to tackle it.

Album Review: Anti by Rihanna


Let me get this out of the way: I find the artwork for this album particularly ugly. Okay, now that we got that out of the way...I dunno. This wasn't an album I was particularly excited to listen through. The songs I've heard so far don't really impress me. But, who knows? I feel like this is the last big album from 2016 so far I have yet to cover aside from Kendrick (which I'll get to at some point). If there's any others I've missed, feel free to let me know. Okay? Okay. Now, here goes. Rihanna's latest album Anti. 

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 19th, 2016


See? Told ya there'd be a change-up pretty soon. Not that anyone denied it, but anyway. Two new Top 10 arrivals, and one of them's a debut. Hello Kelly Clarkson, how've ya been? I've been okay. I don't know you. HIGHLIGHTS TIME.

Album Review: Under the Covers by Ninja Sex Party


I'm kind of a big fan of Game Grumps. And also these guys. That might make me a little biased going into this, but I don't care. March is looking like a dry month outside of a surprise Kendrick Lamar release (which I probably won't be listening to). So, whatever. I don't always have to review artists who are signed to a major record label after all. Make me proud, Danny. And yes, this is a cover album, so I'll only be judging these based on the quality of these versions. And I won't be judging these songs lyrically because that would be dumb.

Album Review: The Life Of Pablo by Kanye West


Kanye, I don't even know what to make of you anymore. I don't think I ever did. But man, you have an entertaining Twitter feed, so at least you got that going for you. But this album, man. The release of this album itself was just hilarious to watch unfold. I haven't heard a single Kanye West album in full before, so this is almost like going in blind to what to expect from him. Here goes. By the way, this isn't the redone version, at least I don't think, so keep that in mind.

Album Review: Nothing Shines Like Neon by Randy Rogers Band


I don't think I've made it a secret that country music isn't a genre I'm much of a fan of. Growing up, all the songs sounded the same to me. That's still kinda true, but I think I've frown to have some more appreciation for the genre. Anyway, that's why I'm listening to a country album. Well, that and Anthrax's new album won't be hitting Spotify anytime soon, due to Scott Ian's disdain for the service. Welp. Okay, country album a-go-go.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 12th, 2016


For the first time in a while the Top 10 had a very uneventful week. But some interesting gains did happen below the surface. Expect a changeup in the Top 10 pretty soon. Maybe Adele finally falls below 10? Anyway, here's the highlights.
