Album Reviews

First off I downloaded a leak of Brand New - Daisy. My all time favourite band I could not wait till the end of the month, but I will buy it when it comes out. This album is amazing, like always Brand New never cease to amaze me with the lyrics they come up with such as from the song i am listening to now You Stole "Last night they said the fire had spread and we said our prayers And now the flames are burning me in my bed but I just don't care"
they create really good imagery and although they have changed their sound a bit they still sound much the same with similar sounds to previous albums. With Brand New it is always hard for me to pick my favourite album, and this just makes it harder.
4/5

The Used - Artwork, I admit I kind of went of The Used for a while but once I found out they were bringing out a new album I was quite excited. Although I didn't want to buy till I at least heard one song off it. So I You Tubed their single. Blood On My Hands, and was amazed this is The Used I first fell in love with. So I then went and got the album listened to it and was quite impressed. Seems they have kept their roots but also gone a little harder at the same time. It also seems to me that this album has a much more clean sound, where as the earlier ones sounded much more raw, I liked this about them but this sound is different but you can still hear aspects of The Used from the earlier albums as well
3/5

Muse - The Resistance. I think I was a bit late getting into Muse. I liked some songs but not all of them, it wasn't till I sat down and listened to them that I realised this band is worth listening to. So I back tracked and got all the albums, that was about a year ago. When I found out this was coming up I was again excited. I heard rumours it sounded like Queen which made me even more intrigued. Listening to the album you immediately get that impression. I think it is most evident in United States of Eurasia, as soon as I heard it it reminded me of Bohemian Rhapsody, with the vocal changes and piano and the awesome guitar riffs. The good thing about this album is all the songs are different and have thier own unique sound.....a good purchase I say
5/5
