Fake Your Death

One more post today. My Chemical Romance released their greatest hits compilation, May Death Never Stop You, earlier this week. This is the first track on the album. It was one of the last songs the band recorded together, presumably some time in 2012. Last week, it had been a year since My Chem called it quits and, I hope I won't sound overly melodramatic, left a void that cannot be filled. Fake Your Death is their eulogy.

I Wanna Get Better

One of this year's big surprises. I was just wondering what fun. were doing, because I haven't heard about them in a while, and as it turns out, the members were keeping themselves quite busy. The band's lead guitarist, Jack Antonoff, for example, has been working on a solo album which is due out later this year. He's only released one song from it, but what a song it is. Your thoughts?

Fever

It's been over two years since El Camino came out, so it was about time The Black Keys released something new. Well, there it is. If you missed the the teaser for the new album, named Turn Blue, earlier this month, check it out here. It's worth it. Or you can just listen to the first song from the upcoming record, called Fever.

As for me, I think the song is pretty enjoyable and I can totally see some progress there; however, I guess I'm not as excited for it as I could be. Your thoughts?

Lost In The Dream

Best album of the first quarter of 2014? Well, I think I have a winner. If you're feeling any kind of nostalgia for the '80s, or even if you don't, dive right in.

Winter Hymns

To be honest, I haven't listened to Charlie Simpson for quite some time now. His debut album, Young Pilgrim, was great and all, but it got overplayed eventually. Nevertheless, there he is again with fresh material. Musically, it's nothing new, this road has been walked down many times before, but it's still quite pleasant, and as a long time fan of Charlie's, I'll always be interested in whatever he's up to. I only wonder if he's ever gonna release another album with Fightstar. Your thoughts?
