MUSIC MONDAY!!!


Album name: Long Live

Album Length: 47:03

Producer: Fred Archambault

Label: Spinefarm Records 

Genre: Metalcore

Where to buy: Amazon



The kings of Metalcore are back.  After 6 long years they are back with a brand new album that is rock what you know about them.  Hard hitting sounds and Alex's trademark screaming and growling are back in full force.  The band hasn’t sounded this great or powerful since 2004’s “The Curse”.  Gone are the softer sounds and songs along with Alex’s softer singing.  This album is full of growling and screaming that will make any Atreyu fans head pop.  Needless to say this is one album you will want to pick up and listen to over and over again. 
PROS
·       Amazing lyrics and vocals
·       Fast, hard hitting music
·       Great price for them coming back
CONS
·       Almost too short
·       One song doesn’t really fit
·       Not enough songs

Needless to say if you wanted a full return ala “The Curse” or even “Suicide Notes” this is it in full force and they should be extremely proud of themselves for creating one hell of an album.  If you are looking for softer sounds such as “Lead Sails and Paper Anchors” or even “Congregation of the Damned” then this is not the album for you.  The only song that doesn’t really fit in is “Do you know who you are” it just doesn’t match the rest of the album like the other songs do.

    This is a must buy album.  Especially if you are a fan of the genre or even just a fan of Atreyu, you’ll want this.

The Big 4

            By now you have guessed that Jim Lee is my favorite comic book artist and that has been all I have talked about well you would be wrong.  I have tons of favorite artists and each one has brought something new to the table.  I will talk about the other four big artists that I admire and what each one brought to the table and how they helped impact the comic books we love and cherish to this day.             Stan Lee - You can’t hear or read Stan Lee’s name without screaming “EXCELSIOR” or one of Stan Lee’s other catch phrases and being the comic book person you are, you know you go into a Marvel movie and you are expecting Mr. Lee to show up at some point in time and say something humorous or witty.  Mr. Lee is credited as creating well known favorites that we all love today such as Captain America, Iron Man, The X-Men, Spider-Man, Thor, The Avengers, and even The Fantastic Four.  Without him and his creativity, a lot of the comics we love today, that he created and he

The Lives of Tao Author: Wesley Chu Pages: 456 Publisher: Angry Robot        Genre: Sci-Fi and Action Buy The Lives of Tao :   Amazon , Barnes & Noble             Oh boy, where to start with this book. Unexpected, hilarious, downright witty and made me tear up.  The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu is the story of out of shape IT worker Roen Tan who unwillingly becomes the new host of an ancient alien race known as the Prophus.  Something along the lines of Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Matrix; Tao the alien who lives within Roen teaches him how to be a solider, spy, and leader in a war that he never knew existed. While Roen learns to deal with his new guest, and Tao learns to live with his host, they are caught up in the war against the warring faction known as the Genjix.  It is smart and funny. Very easy to follow and provides a nice mental image of the conflict and characters.  PROS: ·          Great pacing and fun to read ·          Great for Sci-

Movies That Matter

So me being the movie man that I am have decided to do more of an opinion piece rather than a review today. So for today is something I have been thinking about for a while now . MOVIES THAT MATTER .  I will take 3 or my favorite genres and give you 3 movies per area that you should see at least once and why they matter. Also they are some of my all-time favorites SCI-FI ·          Blade Runner- I pick this as my number one science fiction movie for a few reasons. One, with this movie it gave way to large scale visual effects. Two, Ridley Scott took the existing source material and translated it into something that everyone could enjoy.  Three, this movie helped pave the way for the cyberpunk genre and made more people aware of it. ·          Pandorum- This one was a lesser known sci-fi flick that came out a few years ago but damn was it creepy and kept you guessing until the very end.  This one should be seen at least once and then it will make you think about your own sanit
