A Few Albums I found

Recently I've been raiding my brothers old CD collection in our basement. I have found a few goodies in there, and here I am to share them with you.

1. Plea For Peace, this is a "Punk Rock Sampler Benefiting PFP"
Now this album is a compilation of many different bands, varying in nature. Most of the songs are good, and there is even a ska/punk song on the record. It contains 30 tracks so it is hard to get a good feel of the record as a whole, but here goes: This record, although odd in some parts, does possess an enticing nature about it. There are many up beat songs, and for a person like me whose mood gets affected easily by music this is a beam of sunlight in the darkness that is some dream theatre songs, and perhaps more so Death and that one song by the Decemberists. Anyways, I don’t like being depressed, SO! NEXT!

2. Letters From Chutney by the Rainbow Butt Monkeys
Now first of all, this name is a bit odd, however it gave me a certain eagerness to listen to this album, and I was presently surprised. This one is a metalistic album by a bunch of Canadian Kids from the Burlington area, it does have some good tunes and you may even enjoy it more if you want a blast from the past. Wouldn’t you know it that these guys that grew up to become Finger Eleven, well with a drummer change I believe. ENOUGH SAID.

3. Last Splash by The Breeders
These guys, I find are similar to the New Pornographers, but with a less modern sound and a more Rockish feel. They lack that something special, an edge perhaps, but all in all the record is okay, there are insightful lyrics and a couple catchy tunes. NEXT!

4. Kaleidoscope by DJ Food
Okay I’m just going to say it, this sucks, the rhythms are too…. Well fucked up at times. There are a couple of tolerable songs on this CD, but barely. Their sound has been described as Jazz/Hip hop, or even Dance/Electronica. Once more this CD…. Well it sucks! So no more, NEXT!

5. Feeling Strangely Fine by Semisonic.
These guys are Nirvana meets Presidents of the United States meets some soft rock group. I actually like this album contrary to the soft rockness, they actually have some good grooves. But this record is no reason to jump for joy, or whatever it is that people do when they hear good music, perhaps dance. Anyways I think that that sums this album up effectively. NEXT

6. When I was Born For The Seventh Time by Cornershop
These guys that formed this band are from the UK, but have roots in India, and their music reflects this. It has been described as a mix of several genres: British indie rock, dance/Electronica, and of course the Indian music. This is a mediocre record and doesn’t demand much attention, it doesn’t have any….. flavour really, well in some songs anyways. I mean I almost fell asleep while listening to it… and now I’m really tired, so this is all the recordz that I will talk about for now…….

In conclusion I long for the days when people would go to the record store and listen to tunes and hang out, but I mean who has the cash to buy records these days….. TORRENT DOWNLOADING FTW!!!!!!
Remember to share your music, because good music can make the world go round….Like a Dick!
