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.

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....

The Age of Comic Books

            Comics, we all love them and some of us have even heard of them, but when was the last time you sat down and truly thought about them and their origins.  How they came about and what was the first one.  When did you think about the writers from each comic, to the artists, even the overarching narrative they strive to tell? We all have found ourselves at one point trying to get into a comic or even just reading it without much knowledge about it. That is where I plan on taking you all, down this little rabbit hole of comics and the people behind it. Each comic book has its own following, whether you care about the person, the story, the artist, or even the writer and company.  The special thing about them is no matter what angle you look at them, you in your own right will find something redeeming about the comic in question. . Comic books have been around since the 1930s with the introduction of Famous Funnies . Acro...

Meditation from a friend

     This was a nice piece of advice written by a friend of mine.  All credit goes to  Kenzo Keophakdy .  Smart man, he is helping me out along with a few others.  here is the piece he wrote. Meditation is basically a training method for your mind. When certain things happen to you, your mind generates a certain response whether it be happiness, frustration, anger ect. The way your mind has been inculcated is the path of least resistance and the path it wants to take, and will take unless you know how to mitigate it. Meditation teaches you how and makes it easier to override the process. Who is doing the overriding of this process? Well, that's the million dollar question. But I digress. So here's what I'm getting at: if meditation is too easy, you're doing something wrong. You might be getting yourself really relaxed, but is it possible that's all you're doing? Not saying it is. I don't know, just throwing some ideas out there and it's up to you ...
