Panic! at the Disco

Panic! at the Disco is a Las Vegas-based band that was discovered by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy while the Panic! band members were still in High School. In my opinion, Brenden Urie (lead singer of Panic!) sounds very similar to Patrick Stump (lead singer of FOB). Their one album (released this year), A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, has a slightly mocking twisted feel to it. The favorite author of all the members of Panic! at the Disco happens to be Chuck Palahniuk, writer of Fight Club and Haunted (a very sick and twisted book).

I've listened to their album a couple times through now and I'm surprised at how good it is for a first release. As first releases go, I would rate Panic! at the Disco at the same level as Louis XIV. Their first release isn't as good as The Killers first but it sure as hell isn't bad. Maybe it's good their first album isn't as big as The Killers because now it won't be overplayed.

The Doors - An American Prayer

An American Prayer is an album The Doors released after Jim Morrison died that consists mostly of Jim reading his poetry. The instrumental for the album was recorded after Morrison died. The poetry recordings were never meant to be put to music, but the resulting songs sound as if they were planned out and recorded while Jim was alive. The album consists mostly of Morrison rambling about sex, dreams, and philosophy.

The background music and the poem lyrics are full of allusions to other songs by The Doors. If you liked Celebration of the Lizard King and The End you will love this album. If you like drugged-up-sexual-trippy-semi-beatnick poetry with jazzy rock background music you'll love this album. If you are looking for a serious compilation of profound and intellectual poetry put to a rhythmic beat, this album is not for you.

I personally loved this album. I especially like the random clips of live performances and the background rhythms that resemble those of other songs. I also love the raw simplicity of Morrison's poem lyrics because this simplicity isn't seen through his song lyrics. I think this album gives the listener more of a taste of the person Jim Morrison really was.

I am metal

I recently discovered a new band while rummaging through the news at www.blabbermouth.net. The post name had something like "Flametal - flamenco and metal combined - release new album." I was cautious at first thinking, wow this must be uber lame. I was pleasently shocked. It was kick ass metal and kick ass flamenco. So check out their new album.

Now onto "Top 10 Bands that think they are Metal, but really aren't (i.e. teh suck)"

10.Avenged sevenfold - Fuck bat country and fuck those goddamn wannabes.
9. Linkin Park - your not metal with a DJ.
8. new Korn - Way to lose the edge, jackasses.
7. Disturbed - Despite the huge suck factor, they are not metal, because have no blast beats
6. Godsmack - ^^^^
5. Marilyn manson - wannabe goth money whore = not metal
4. Killswitch engage - metal turned screamo
3. Ozzy - not black sabbath. black sabbath = \m/. Ozzy's solo career is not metal becuase he lost his edge
2. system of a down - the only band on the list i like, but dont pretend, they arent metal
1. new metallica - kids + wives + attitudes = lost edge = crappy music = not metal
