The Pun is Strong with These Two
Unfortunately continuing where left off with our last review – spoiler alter – we have a few more albums we didn’t like. Wanna fight us on them? Then please, by all means, do it! Leave comments on the site or social media!
Witherfall – A Prelude to Sorrow (Century Media)
Old Wounds – Glow (Good Fight)
Silent Planet – When the End Began (Solid State)
Last week, we talked a bit about how bands evolve using old influences, or how they just devolve. This week, we inadvertently talk about band evolution and growth again, but from a different angle: taking small steps. Small steps would seem safer, right? They can be, but it still does not always work in a band’s favor. Just listen to the show and you’ll get it.
Reviews:
Dust Bolt – Mass Confusion (Napalm)
Silent Planet – Everything was Sound (Solid State)
Circle of Contempt – Structures for Creation
We have another interesting mix of albums this week. Ok, it’s actually not as diverse as most shows, but one really throws everything off balance. Also, two of the other ones have been anxiously anticipated by your hosts…and one of them delivers. In the middle of these four brand new album reviews, we also start a discussion on streaming music. I say “start” because I hope this will be somewhat ongoing as you listeners get involved. Personally, I have been using Apple music more since the recording, so I will be sharing some further comments on the service shortly (either on this site or our Facebook page…which you should go like…).
Reviews:
August Burns Red – Found in Far Away Places (Fearless)
Mutoid Man – Bleeder (Sargent House)
Silent Planet – The Night God Slept (Solid State)
Wrvth – Wrvth (Unique Leader)
