t dot est – MAD

t dot est – MAD – Album Review I suppose the question is – is it possible that MAD could be better than the MAGICICADA EP?  Anything is possible, even if it seems improbable, right?  I already felt like that was one of the better records I heard in 2024 after reviewing the set of […]Read More

Ray Bally – Crisscrossing Boundaries

Ray Bally – Crisscrossing Boundaries – Album Review It’s not often that you stumble across an album where the title track is only twenty-one seconds long! So let’s see here…it’s been about…hmm…looks like around five years since we last featured Ray’s music on these pages of ours.  Time sure does fly, as they say.  We […]Read More

Swill – We’re The Dancing Dead

Swill – We’re The Dancing Dead – Album Review Interesting!  Last time around, when I reviewed Swill’s last record Turn The Lights Back On, they instantly reminded me of hearing the fiery energy of early R.E.M., which eventually went on to audibly define the whole freakin’ Alternative genre.  When I pushed play on We’re The […]Read More

mentalEscape – Upgrade

mentalEscape – Upgrade – Album Review Well holy shit, would you look at that!  Somehow it’s already been more than three years since the last time we had mentalEscape up on our pages?  I tell ya folks, the best thing about time flying by in this line of ‘work’ that I’m in, is that when […]Read More

BLOOODHOUND – CounterTransfer+

BLOOODHOUND – CounterTransfer+ – Album Review Ohhhhh I tell ya folks…if only I loved half the music that came my way as much as I love the music of BLOOODHOUND, I’d be way more confident about doing what I do for another twelve whole years.  Alas, there really is only ONE BLOOODHOUND out there, which […]Read More

Rasmus Fynbo – A Speck Of Light

Rasmus Fynbo – A Speck Of Light – Album Review The brand-new Rasmus Fynbo album is out today!  Rejoice! Or do whatever it is you do to celebrate…no judgements here.  Personally, I’m happy to have this dude back in action, and I’d imagine that I’m not alone in feeling that way.  If you’ve been paying […]Read More

MJayNumberOne – SUMMERtime POPsicles

MJayNumberOne – SUMMERtime POPsicles – Album Review Hmmmmm… Alright…from what I understand, the majority of the tracks you’ll hear on SUMMERtime POPsicles by MJayNumberOne trace back about a decade, so perhaps it’s only natural that the opening track “Summatyme (Oh Yeah!)” sounds like it came right off one of the early Afroman albums.  Though, to […]Read More

Resurrection Story – String Theory & Collapsing Stars

Resurrection Story – String Theory & Collapsing Stars – Album Review Sometimes I’ll leave the door open a crack here at the ol’ home office and get an unsolicited but still welcome opinion on what I’m listening to from my wonderful wife.  “Sounds like Tool” she said at the start of “Grift,” bless her heart…a […]Read More

GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION – Applegarth Academy

GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION – Applegarth Academy – Album Review + Bonus Track Y’all know the name.  Believe it or not, it’s the exact same GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION that we reviewed earlier this week!  Accept no substitutes.  We checked out his debut record last time around, and this time as we cover his catalog […]Read More

GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION – Manifest Destiny

GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION – Manifest Destiny – Album Review + Bonus Track Alright y’all…take this to heart…if you’re going by the name of GRIPAZEEM BE LIVING MOTIVATION you probably DO NOT need ALL CAPS to get that across, you feel me?  It’s plenty memorable as a name as it is, I promise ya.  We’re […]Read More
