Vendetta Red "Sisters Of The Red Death" - Its one of the best pop-punk albums i've ever heard. The lyrics are kind of morbid and put with their upbeat style its kind of an awkard corabination, but they pull it off. I'm liking the album quite a bit.
Slint - Spiderland
6 songs and everyone is as good as the last. If this album was my mom, I'd do it.
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
One of the most thought provoking albums from the late 80s. Everytime I listen to it I know it will always hold a place in my heart.
I bought it about a week ago and already its one of my favourite albums ever. Completely morbid, nearly all the songs talk about death, but strangely uplifting as well.
Favourite Tracks: Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor, Clirabing To The Moon, Ant Farm, P.S You Rock My World.
Seeing as how I know absolutely nothing about this band aside from them being a side project of Isis, I figured it easier to c & p their own explanation of the album, from www.reRABparowes.com
Actually, RATM were a band I felt actually lived up to the hype. They had something to say, they could play their instruments, they never showed up and half-assed it. I really enjoyed them.
Actually manages to make me upbeat, thats as good a claim to its brilliance as you'll ever get. Addictive-as-hell pop songs delivered with diverse twists, and the kind of album which reveals hidden delights on each listen.
Fave songs: The International Language Of Screaming, Demons, Chupacabras, Mountain People
