Album Reviews: Fist of God by MSTRKRFT

Hey Guys! Over the christmas and new years break, I received alot of $$$
And because I'm too lazy to download songs separately, I'm buying full albums.
And since I'm buying albums, I will be reviewing them.

So to start of with "Fist of God" by MSTRKRFT

Album: Fist of God
Genre: Indie Rock, Electronic
Artist: MSTRKRFT

The album starts of good with "It Ain't Love" featuring Lil' Mo. Like most of MSTRKRFT songs, you'll be boppin your head back and fourth to the beat of the sound. 

The best songs would be "1,000 Cigarettes, Fist of God, So Deep, and Breakaway." Maybe cause they are songs you could listen repeatedly. Unlike the other ones, that may last for a few days. 

My least favorite song in the album is most likely "Word Up" cause it sounds like total crap. It starts off with saying "Motherf*cker" a lot. Then it just gets messed.

But it is YOUR choice to buy the album. Because we all have different taste in music. This review is just to let you know which ones are good (in my opinion).

Tracklist:
  1. "It Ain't Love" (featuring Lil' Mo) ***
  2. "1,000 Cigarettes" *****
  3. "Bounce" (featuring N.O.R.E. & Isis) ***
  4. "Vuvuvu" ****
  5. "Heartbreaker" (featuring John Legend) ****
  6. "Fist of God" *****
  7. "So Deep" (featuring Jahmal from The Carps) *****
  8. "Click Click" (featuring E-40) **
  9. "Word Up" (featuring Ghostface Killah) *
  10. "Breakaway" (featuring Jahmal from The Carps) ****
  11. "1,000 Cigarettes" (featuring Freeway) (bonus track) **
The ( * ) represent my rating for the song

Hope you enjoyed, stay tuned for more reviews

Album Reviews: Romborama by The Bloody Beetroots

Alright guys, it's 2:35 a.m. on Sunday and I doubt I can make this album review proper but I'll try anyways.

So I am going to be reviewing the album "Romborama" by "The Bloody Beetroots"

Album: Romborama
Genre: Electronic
Artist: The Bloody Beetroots

First of all, if you love good synth sound I HIGHLY suggest that you get this album. ALL of its songs are extremly good and the sounds are just amazing.

The album starts nice with "Romborama" with little screamin in it but not enough to make someone hate it. "Have Mercy On Us" is probably one of my favorite songs in the album because it has that mysterious feel that you LOVE to hear. "Storm" has that weird horror type atmosphere to it. With the toy piano tune it give you a scary feel.

"Awesome" is when you can get to your rapping side of yourself. With half rap and half synth is a win-win situation for everyone. From "Conelius" to "Talkin' In My Sleep" there are some pretty decent synths.

"2nd Streets Have No Name" has that violin sound everyone enjoys. "Butter" is one of my favorite songs in the album. With the Hard Piano part half way into the song its impossible for me to not enjoy it.

"Warp 1.9" is the most known song in the album. I don't know why but I will guess its deals with something mainstream (ew mainstream *shiver*).

"Little Stars" is the BEST song in the album, to me its so hilarious. You must check it out.

"Come LA" is the same thing except with a different voice.

(Tracks I haven't spoken of are decent aswell)

So I a "nutshell" this is the best album I've ever purchased anywhere. Once again I HIGHLY recommened getting it.

Hope you enjoyed! -R@M0$

Album Reviews: Immersion by Pendulum

Hey guys, its's still exams and I don't feel like studying so I will review an album for you guys!

Today I will be reviewing "Immersion" by Pendulum!

Album: Immersion
Genre: Drum 'n' Bass, Dubstep
Artist: Pendulum

The album starts off well with 8-bit type sounds in "Genesis" and begins to become more progressive with the synth in "Salt In The Wounds". "Set Me On Fire" is where you hear the Dubstep part of the album. Then from that you can hear alot of good synth.

My favourite songs in the album would be "The Vulture, The Island Pt. II (Dusk), and Immunize". If I rated them 4 stars, they have a good synth in them. Most of the songs have GREAT synths in them.

Least favorite song in the album would be "Self vs. Self (feat. In Flames)" because it's like "Hardcore, Metal, Screamo song" and from then on, the album becomes smooth and easy and ends with splashing waves in  "Encoder"

Tracklist:
1    Genesis***
2    Salt In The Wounds ****
3    Watercolour ****
4    Set Me On Fire ****
5    Crush ****
6    Under The Waves ***
7    Immunize (feat. Liam Howlett) *****
8    The Island - Pt. I (Dawn) ****
9    The Island - Pt. II (Dusk) *****
10    Comprachicos **
11    The Vulture *****
12    Witchcraft ****
13    Self vs Self (feat. In Flames) *
14    The Fountain (feat. Steven Wilson) **
15    Encoder ***
