I finally decided to check out the freshman effort of My Chemical Romance, the lengthily-titled “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love“. It’s less produced then their newer album, and the songs don’t have the same “kick”, but I enjoy it.
The new System of a Down album, “Hypnotize“, is not disappointing in any way. I enjoy this one much more than Mezmerize. Fans of SOAD should definitely pick this album up without hesitation.
A release from Spring of this year, Anna Nalick’s “Wreck of the Day” is a nice touch of the softer side. The sound and lyrical content will work out well for fans of Tori Amos or Fiona Apple. If you’re into that sort of sound, I recommend checking out this album. You’ve probably already heard the single from this one, “Breathe”, on the radio about six thousand times. The title track, Wreck of the Day, is worth a listen also, as well as “Catalyst” and “In the Rough”, which has a more rock-ish quality to it.
After adding the Anna Nalick album to my cart, iTunes recommended that I purchase nothing but Tori Amos albums. I compromised with it by picking up her cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit“, which I whole heartedly recommend to everybody. While I laughed my ass off at it upon the first listen, when I went back and listened again, I actually got pretty attached to it. They play this cover on The Buzz sometimes, and I had always wondered who did it. Great track. Incidentally, if you love Tori Amos, iTunes has an Artist Essentials put together for her.
