R.I.P.: Zs- The Hard
http://themidwestisdead.blogspot.com/2008/11/zs-hard.html
Monday, November 3, 2008. Unclassifiable doesn't begin to describe this. Chamber music shoved down the throat of a bunch of rockers, or rock music being beat into the heads of a bunch of classical musicians? Somewhere in the ballpark of Frank Zappa (think Grand Wazoo meets Lumpy Gravy maybe? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Thoughts, Rants, and Cold Coffee. Road Journal Part 6: Northeast and End of the Run. If You Can't Beat 'Em. Doing the Maker Faire Dance. Weezer- The Red Album.

Thursday, October 9, 2008. Nine Inch Nails- Ghosts I-IV. Reznor is accompanied by some interesting guest musicians on this experimental outing. Andrian Belew, of King Crimson, plays guitar on three tracks and Brian Viglione, of the World Inferno/Friendship Society plays drums out of a drumkit he built out of scrap metal and various objects. Was ambitious, you might change your mind. Download Ghosts part I! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thoughts, Rants, and Cold Coffee. If You Can't Beat 'Em. View my comple...

R.I.P.: Weezer- The Red Album
http://themidwestisdead.blogspot.com/2008/11/weezer-red-album.html
Monday, November 3, 2008. Weezer- The Red Album. Weezer ain't what it used to be, yes, but they have gotten a lot of unnecessary hatred thrown at them after their last album, Make Believe. The snobs and music press hated it, and although it is uncomfortably sugary at times, more hideous sounds have filled my ears. I'm all about second chances, so after a three year wait to see if Weezer could redeem themselves, I am left with mixed emotions. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If You Can't Beat 'Em.

Monday, October 13, 2008. The Acacia Strain- Continent. These fellows are angry. And with global warming, a sinking economy, and the Presidential race at hand, why shouldn't they be? The Acacia Strain are pissed. Brutal metal, just face bashing, bite the curb metal. The band has changed their sound quite a bit since their Prosthetic debut 3750. I want the world to have my rape baby, so when it's born I can strangle it to death," and on "JFC (Jesus Fucking Christ)," he politely states. Wilmington, North C...

R.I.P.: The Melvins- Nude With Boots
http://themidwestisdead.blogspot.com/2008/12/melvins-nude-with-boots.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. The Melvins- Nude With Boots. Luckily, this wasn't a one-off wet dream, and the Big Business boyz have been a permenant part of the Melvins machine ever since, touring, terrorizing, and melting faces. Nude With Boots. Is the second album from this superMelvins monstrosity, and proves that this band has a lot of life left in them. The latter album and this one have been more listenable than previous Melvins concoctions (compared to say, Pigs of the Roman Empire. The band still...

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Carved out of the massive entity formerly known as Floor and featuring members of Cavity and Shitstorm, Miami FL's Torche have created a sound so large it could have roamed the earth freely amongst the prehistoric dinosaurs millions of years ago. Mesozoic layers of shattering bass forged together with heroic guitars and majestic vocals flying over a molten sea of doom, Meanderthal. The second half of the album sinks deep into the sludge and paralyzes you with heavy, tribal, ...
