REVIEW: Fever 333 - STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS

STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS (STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS is the debut studio album by American rapcore supergroup Fever 333, released January 18, 2019)     Rage Against the Machine are one of my favorite bands of all time, but the last time they released original music was 1999’s The Battle of Los Angeles , being as their 2000 album Renegades is a covers album. So when I heard the Fever 333’s track “Made in America” and the EP of the same name, I got excited. Vocalist Jason Aalon Butler’s rapping is a dead ringer for Zack de la Rocha, and the instrumentals were like RATM style rock mixed with modern day trap music. But somehow I missed the release of their debut full length album, so I listened to it as soon as I got the chance, and I have a lot of thoughts.     The album doesn’t start off in the best way, as the opener has some of the worst writing and voice acting I’ve ever heard on an album. It picks back up on the next track, however, on the lead single ...

REVIEW: The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships

A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (“A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships” is the third studio album by British band The 1975, released November 30, 2018)     The 1975 have always been a hit-or-miss band for me. They had some great songs, such as the funk rock track “Love Me,” and some decent songs, like the simple yet fun pop rock track “The City” and the synthpop infused “The Sound.” But the rest was, well, mediocre at best. They had yet to do anything groundbreaking for me. Even “Love Me,” my favorite track by them, was just a simple funk rock track with some electronic tendencies, and it wasn’t even that much of a departure from their normal sound. I also wasn’t a fan of the band’s pretentiousness. Lead vocalist Matty Healy seemed to lack self-awareness, which wasn’t helped by his apparent drug abuse, and their last release was titled “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It,” which might win the award for “most obno...

A Look Back On: Them Crooked Vultures - Self-Titled (2009)

Them Crooked Vultures ( Them Crooked Vultures is the first, and so far only, album by rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, released on November 16, 2009)     If you were to ask rock fans who one of the best rock bands of the 70s were, the answer would probably be unanimous: Led Zeppelin. If you were to ask them who was one of the biggest artists to come out of the grunge scene, most would probably answer Nirvana. Finally, if you were to ask them who one of the most influential alt rock bands of the early 2000s were, many would probably answer Queens of the Stone Age. So when it came out that former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, along with Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame on drums and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age on guitar and vocals, were working on an album, a lot of people had high hopes. Of course they did. Dave is one of the greatest musicians of the past twenty years, and he and Josh, an amazing artist in his own right, had alre...
