I Don't Care


I Don't Care

From their more punk roots of their early years, to the heralded "From Under The Cork Tree," to their fan polarizing follow-up. With their 3rd major-label rocker, the band named after an obscure Simpsons character returns to tweak their sound just a bit. Whether they'll succeed remains to be seen, but I'm just glad the song titles are shorter. The first single "I Don't Care" is the first single off the album, and let me tell you, the kids are loving it.

The lyrics are an apathetic ubber-ego emo-fest that is built upon a cleaver chorus of, "I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me!" It's played up in the usual Fall Out Boy power-rock/ anthemic arena rock fashion, and I would say it's certainly their best rock song since "Cork Tree."

So, if you're a Fall Out Boy fan, an apathetic emo teen, or an arena power rocker, then this song is for you. It's not polarizing, it's mainstream, and Pete Wentz still knows how to crank out the hits. Amazingly, this isn't even one of the better tracks on the album.

Love Remains The Same


Love Remains The Same

Like any artist ... they want to grow and explore other parts of their mind and heart. This is a very good song ... and yes it is a softer side of GAVIN ROSSDALE. Cause I honestly wasn't looking for more BUSH music. I liked the duo but ... I'm sure like Gwen did ... she did her own thing and put out a bit of NO DOUBT and then went back to her solo music.

I like his new music and there are a few other tracks that aren't as "soft" as this one. Explore and enjoy.

Get On Your Boots

I like it when U2 is experimenting. I like it when i don't love a single right of the bat. I like it when it takes a few listens to get into it.
All is this is certainly true of "Get On Your Boots".

I like to think of "Get On Your Boots" as the love child of "the Fly" and "Vertigo". We have some more aggressive guitar playing by The Edge combined with the distinct sonic undercurrent of U2/Eno/Lanois experimentation.

A friend told me this upon listening to goyb "sounds like vertigo part II".
At first glance i could see how he could think that; ie the straight up metal riff of the edge. However, Every time I listen to "Get On Your Boots" I hear something new. To say its got layers is an understatement. If the whole album is blending the sounds of "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" and "Achtung baby" U2 fans will be in for another reinvention of the words Rock & Roll.

I Don't Care


I Don't Care

I've always been a fan of of Apocayliptica back to the days when they were doing Metallica covers("Apocalyliptica plays Metallica by four cellos"), this new release is thier own stuff and it flat out kicks butt!Adam Gontier of "Three days grace" joins with (amongst others)them this time. It's hard to believe that most of the compositions in this album were wrote and performed on a cello! "I don't care" is the vanguard in this new release and if you look at the charts(I don't in most cases)they seem to agree with me. If you don't like it I'll buy it back from you(not really!)but you get the point by now, enjoy!

From out of left field comes the unknown Framing Hanley, which you don't know unless you're into the whole post-hardcore movement. Apparently Hanley wasn't having much success with their own generic-sounding song, so they put out this surprising cover for all those that love their dirt in the dark.

The song keeps the lyrics, maintaining the dirty feeling of it all, but it turns up the rock, and really makes it a rockin' song, causing it to end up a really weird, but fun combination for various parties. Check the song out, and you might find you like it if you're into post-hardcore, modern rock, or you're just looking for a song to turn up the heat. Who knew a Lil' Wayne song could turn into something pretty decent?

Oh, by the way, I don't think the music video will be coming to an MTV near you anytime soon. ;)

I'm not a Jonas Bros fan, but saw the music video and really liked the tune. I am slighty disappointed with all the talking and random crap going on before and during the music that clouds this otherwise charming song. Is there just a clean edit somewhere?

Hey There Delilah


Hey There Delilah

I first saw this tune on MHD. A pretty good video also. It's catchy with really good phrasing and a minimalist approach. Not much going on but acoustic guitar. It's a great lovesong ballad but don't expect a whole lot more from this group. I dl'd other stuff by them and found it all basically unlistenable. Very analogous to Extreme/More than words. Great song but nothing else behind it.

I liked the level of bass and the lyrics. But had to listen to it several times to be able to pick up just what the lyrics were. The song is very fast paced. Overall a great song.
