New Music

June 7th, 2006
Posted by gerrod in: music, new stuff

Since coming back from Australia, we’ve acquired a bunch of new music. Here’s my take on a few of the albums:

Gomez: How We Operate – If you’ve ever listened to a Gomez song and liked it, then you should get this album. It’s almost like Gomez have created a “Greatest Hits” album, by creating 12 new killer tracks. Highly recommended.

Pete Murray: See the sun – Fans of Pete Murray’s first album should be equally impressed by the second. Not much has changed in terms of his style of lyrics, melodies, or song composition – but when you’ve got a winning formula, why change it?

Hoobastank: Every Man For Himself – Again, a perfect album for fans of their existing work. This one is so similar to their first album (“The Reason”) you’ll think it’s the missing second CD. Hoobastank have a huge sound, and their tracks simply burst with energy. If you’ve never heard of these guys but you’re a fan of Linkin Park, then you should get this album, and play it loud.

We saw Pete Murray live last month – he rocked! Not too bad for a boy from The Farm!

We’re seeing the boy from the farm next Tuesday at Shepherds Bush :)

Yeah, I can’t wait. I really like his second album and I think that though the style is the same, I reckon the melodies and lyrics are a lot more upbeat than his first.

This is out of pure snobbery–I cannot listen to a band named Hoobastank. That name! It’s very small-minded, but I’ve avoided them, because of it.
