5. Between The Buried And Me – The Great Misdirect (Victory) Not much else to say but BTBAM. This album is good, but not ‘Colors’ good, giving it the 4 spot. 4. The Black Dahlia Murder – Deflorate (Metal Blade) I was a little concerned with this album at first, thinking that TBDM’s overall sound…
Scrambles the Death Dealer’s Top 10 Part 1
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published December 29th, 200910. Mastodon – Crack They Skye (Reprise) I won’t even attempt to tell you what this album is about lyrically, but, this album reversed my decision on hating Mastodon, so I felt it deserved a mention on my list, but, it’s also a really good album. 9. Adagio – Archangels In Black (Listenable) Adagio is…
Leviathan’s Top 10 Part 2
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published December 23rd, 2009Leviathin’s List of 2009′s Most Epic Albums Part 2 5. Mastodon – Crack the Skye (Reprise) There is often much debate over which Mastodon album is the best, which one is the worse, etc. but it cannot be denied that their latest is still nothing short of epic. The album is literally taking you through…
Fall Be Kind
By Music Director | Published December 19th, 2009So, yep they did it. To us. Again. Through the heart? Maybe. Animal Collective released a new collection of songs: their Fall Be Kind EP. As a long-time AC fan, it’s kind of easy for me to slip into really loving everything they do. However, their last album (Merriweather Post Pavillion) sort of threw me…
Leviathin’s Top 10 Part 1
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published December 18th, 2009This was next to impossible to create. So many good albums came out in 2009, so Scrambles the Death Dealer and I contented ourselves to create our list individually so that we could cross cover certain material. That and there is a 11-20 list that covers what we couldn’t cram into ten slots. Join us…
Tune-Yards re-issue?
By Music Director | Published December 17th, 2009So here’s the thing about re-issues. Often they’re just an excuse to get more attention to something that has already gotten a good deal of attention. HOWEVER, here’s one re-issue that I’m okay standing by: Tune-Yards’s “Bird Brains”. This album is undoubtedly my favorite album of 2009 (and I refuse to give that a second…
Why we love you so: PREGNANT
By Music Director | Published December 15th, 2009The most blissful gift that’s soared through the station recently has been the awe-inspiring sound-sampling experimental rock of PREGNANT. Remember when I freaked out in utter love of HIGH LIFE? This is the same. But bigger because we get to play this record allll over our station. The album “Liquidation on Swans” has been in…
Dub Side of the Moon Tuesday
By Michael Bryant | Published December 12th, 2009The Easy Star All-Stars’ stunning reinvention of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” spent over three years on the Billboard reggae charts. The recording also features guest vocal appearances by Frankie Paul, The Meditations and sound effects from The Wizard of Oz (of course). Hear the complete recording Tuesday, December 15th during the “Rocking…
Stoned Holidays
By Michael Bryant | Published November 27th, 2009It seems the Rolling Stones have chased The Beatles recording legacy forever. The Fab Four started writing songs; Mick and Keith took a shot at it too. The Beatles put out a double album in 1968; the Stones followed with “Exile on Main Street”. So how do the Rolling Stones compete with September’s fanfare over…
Baroness’ Blue Record Will Cream Your Jeans/Blow Your Mind and Not Call You Back
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published November 2nd, 2009I’ve been holding off from reviewing this album for a couple weeks. It might be that I’m extremely biased going in having read other reviews. Decibel magazine gave it 10/10 and went so far to call it album of the year (they’re right). Metalsucks.net gave it 4 1/2 out of 5 horns. Metal Injection hails…
