The White Stripes (Album) Review

The White Stripes Debut Album was amazingly amazing. Back in 1999 music was sucking hard and the white stripes came to save the day. While of course, it wasn’t until White Blood Cells and Elephant came out did they get big. But remember. Respect your elders. The White Stripes were a young energetic  band that showed the world that Garage and Blues Rock was still alive and kicking. And with that energy they took the world.

My thoughts

The White Stripes really made a amazing album for their debut. The album is all about Kick ass Rock N’ Roll and amazing Blues riff. When asked to defend why I think Jack white is one of the best guitarist of our time, I would point them to this album. Jack White likes to say he makes his playing a fight with his guitar. Well I can tell you he’s winning this fight. Jack White just owns his guitar. Meg White’s Drumming is great. It’s simple. Nothing complicated. Just simple. Simply awesome. Nothing more too it. My favorite song on the album is Astro, and I also enjoy Screwdriver. I don’t do a whole high and low point in my review because it does imply the album is bad. And this is far from bad.

My Score

10 out of 10 Astros.

My Final Thoughts

My Score

9/10

Normally I don’t bother posting things a day after I make a post. But I have decided against my rules of posting because I MUST SHARE THE EPICNESS! This dude is a great guitar player. He’s using a kill switch* on his guitar to make this awesome song. His name is BUCKET HEAD!

*A Kill Switch is a button that you press that kills the signal from your Guitar to amp. This is can be used to great effect in tapping and is mostly used in heavy metal music, Ace Freehley used it on a song on Kiss alive (Don’t ask me what song. I forgot)

New column thingy

You are a person right? Your not? Oh well. Your reading this and it means you must have some form of intelligence. If I happen to be wrong, Please close this window and continue to go do your animal things.

But anyways, I was all like, “Keaton we need to use this site!” and  he was like “Blah blah blah reading, blah blah blah school, blah blah blah your right” Then he said  I should make a weekly segment thingy. So I decided to call it, Music from the 20th century! You know the name is sexy. So give it some lovin. But anyways yeah. So lets get this thing rollin!

I found this song while playing Fallout 3. That game that wastes 200 hours of your life but wasted only 60 of mine!

Yeah. I went there.

R.U. Ready 2 Rock?

So yesterday me and my friends went to the mall. At F.Y.E I found some sort of greatest hits album by the Blue Öyster Cult. It’s Titled Are you ready to Rock. With a song called R.U. Ready to Rock? It took me 45 minutes to listen to it once I got home. And its very good. Here’s my Review.

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

Yes. I am. IM SO READY TO ROCK. This album isnt what I though it would be. I thought it would have a heavy sound but It has more of a Acid rock sound to it.  Its a good Album for $8 brand new to.

My Review

MORE COWBELL!!!!

This is a Good Album. Its a Minor Greatest Hits album from what I understood. I like all the songs on it. My Favorite is (Don’t Fear) The Reaper And Godzilla. I like the Acid Rock sound it has most of all. Have any of you seen zombie land? I think of the scene were there smoking that stuff every time I hear (Don’t Fear) The Reaper. I’m glad I bought the CD but im sad theirs not booklet. That’s the only down side.

The Score

I give this 10/10 for having great Acid Rock and such. but one thing. IT NEEDS MORE COWBELL.

If you don’t get that joke then don’t ask…

P.S. Osprey, Can you make me a editor? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The Winter of Mixed Drinks

The Winter of Mixed Drinks is a Indie Rock album by the Scottish band Frightened Rabbits. While the album isn’t punk or metal or anything like that but more of a Coldplay kind of sound. Not saying they sound like Coldplay but it’s that

The Winter of Mixed drinks Cover.

kind of soft rock feel to it. All the songs are great on it. While some are more fun to listen to others there not like Major rock bands today were they put 2 good songs and another 3 or 4 that will get radio play. Instead there all good in their own way. Kinda like the Dark Side of the Moon. All the songs are good in there own way. In a time were all the songs all about Hate or breaking up with that girl you dated for 3 days, this album is about happy things. Or things that don’t make sense. Either or the music sounds happy. Most of the songs are 2 minutes to six and a half. But the overall album is 45 mintues. So if your on that boring 45 minute drive to aunt trisha or whoever is you can listen to this and fall asleep. There are some songs on here that you CAN fall asleep to. Although I can also say that about any Jimi hendrix song or any  The Who albums. Over all I give this a 9.5/10

Up sides: Great short songs and all the instruments practicably marry each other.

Down sides: Some songs sound the same at one point or another.
