Comments:

Even though this is the best NOFX album, I don't like several of the songs. Though this album was classified "skate punk", there was still ska in such songs as Mattersville, She's Nubs and Anarchy Camp. Franco Un-American was my favourite song because of it's catchy lyrics and bouncing-tempo guitaring. I don't have much to say about this album, but, if "Fat Mike" reads this, I'm giving him a suggesting not to go with the hardcore tempo in songs but at the same time put less ska into it, so, in other words; less ska, more guitar, less hardcore. See ya!

Chronic Future's "Modern Art EP"

I recently got this new EP and it is SO awesome that I just had to put a link on this post (see bottom).

Modern Art EP

Artist: Chronic Future

Composer: Chronic Future

Genre: Punk Rock

Label: Modern Art

Year: 2008

Track Listing:

1. Sometimes

2. Rocket Science

3. Always & Never

4. Things That You Oughta Know

5. I Think You Got Ahead Of Me

Rating:

4.5/5

Best Song:

Rocket Science

Comments:
I've been a Chronic Future listener since I got Burnout 3: Takedown on PS2 two years ago (they have the hit Time And Time Again on the soundtrack) and I got the awesome album Lines In My Face around 4-5 months later. It was hard to find but it was worth the look! Now, the Modern Art EP has defintely exceeded the standards of Lines In My Face. I haven't got the original Chronic Future (which was recorded when the band members' average age was 14) so I can't complete my timeline, but I think this EP has made a huge change to the previous limited edition album This And Of That. It's fast pace electro sound makes the album really awesome and I listened to the earlier punk style version of Rocket Science and their work has gone more electro compared the "more guitar, less effects" style of earlier albums including Lines In My Face and 4 Elements. Mike Busse's vocals have become more clear, for example; during the second verse of Rocket Science, on the line: "next to me and I kissed her": on the demo it sounds more like "kitster" then "kissed her" where as on the Modern Art version, it 's the other way round with it sounding more like "kissed her" than "kitster". So overall, this album is completely awesome and that's why I had to put a link for the album on this post. Oh, by the way, Chronic Future has a new album coming out in summer (at least that was what is expected).

Holidays In The Sun

Comments:

As the second punk rock band to be formed, I say that this album is the most heavy and above all else AWESOME punk album of the 1970's. This made a huge impact on the 1980 modern punk bands such as Bad Religion and The Adolescents with the fast paced style of the Ramones and the less ska more punk style of the Sex Pistols. Though, of course, this album was not the full punk style but it was just perfect for a punk band of the 70's. Johnny Rotten's vocals were not very "punkish" but Steve Jones' guitar style was very melodic and set the limit of punk guitaring for the res of the 70's bands. After that, the new bands that emerged became harder and gave the Sex Pistols a run for their money. Even so, I rated this album 4/5 because it was the best album I had that was made before 1991 (known to some music fanatics as "The Year That Punk Broke"). The Sex Pistols have always been the same but, of course, their rebellious style broke down after bassist John Ritchie (better known as Sid Vicious) died but the punk musical style has NEVER EVER worn off. It's hard to believe that their the oldest remaining punk band (now that the Ramones have broken up) and they are incredibly old (Johnny Rotten himself is in his early 50s). Well, I think that's all I gotta say, so BYE!

New Found Glory's "Not Without A Fight"

For my hiatus, I'm going to make it up to anyone who's visited this website with a review of an album that hasn't been released in the U.S.A. yet. Also to make up for my hiatus, I have attached a link to the download site. In the download link, click the first "Download This Torrent" link and download it. It is a torrent file, so download BitTorrent, install it and go to "File", "Add Torrent" and choose the torrent file. It should download and continues when you open it. BitTorrent opens in as a toolbar down in the bottom right corner so to open it, double click on the toolbar icon. Every Christmas post from now on, I shall include more torrent album downloads in later ratings. This is also the first appearance of a new category: Best Song.

Comments:

The download I got was of good quality, so my review is accurate to the music. This album had heavier style than Catalyst. This is one of favourite New Found Glory albums and also a revival of the old New Found Glory albums such as their self-titled album and Nothing Gold Can Stay. I've always had a different view on albums than professional reviewers and I say that Not Without A Fight did not deserve it's #36 ARIA charting. It was the best New Found Glory album though but I'm still not convinced that it deserved it's #36 charting. So, in conclusion, it's good, but bad.

Comments:

Sum 41 was once my favourite band but they just...changed without Dave Baksh (former lead guitarist), but, it wasn't so bad a change. In fact, they set a whole new definition of "punk mixed with alternative" and "Underclass Hero" was once my favourite song! The album hit pretty bad reviews but in my opinion, it was AWESOME! I just have to say that the album was classic alternative/punk and ROCK ON!!

Welcome!!

WELCOME!! Ok, I made this blog out of boredom (really, really bad f***ing boredom!!). Here, on this blog, I'll give you ratings on some of the albums which I have listened to (plus information, bla-bla-bla). Please remember though, most of the time, these albums will be "punk rock".
