Blind Melon's New Record

Thank you! I've been recieving a lot of great words from you about my reviews on these nice bands, musicians and dudes. Yes, I do write some things about them, but please consider that my only thing is listening music, and that's what it is. As for Blind Melon, i'd loved their 1995 release Soup, i still have it. Before this writing, i googled about their new album and the only thing that i've found is they recorded the new album with a new singer, Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon vocalist, died on a tour bus on October 21st in a hotel parking lot in New Orleans.

This new records sounds like any Blind Melon record, but the song named with Tumblin Down really makes me feel good, i loved it. Sorry i can't share it because sharing all the tracks on a famous blog like MM brings lots of trouble with it. It's not very hard to find, though. You can do a google search:) By the way, the new singer becomes Travis Warren.

HIM - Venus Doom

According to frontman Ville Valo, the ultimate goal was to concoct a sound that combined My Bloody Valentine's Loveless with Metallica's Master of Puppets, and it sounds good when they seem to grow on guitars, lyrics and cover art. This is one of the best H.I.M. record yet, because they don't sound like dark as their first record, and also they improved themselves that this is not shit like previous Dark Light, but it's heavy goth rock in other ways. This eighth album is one of the coolest hard release of the year. Tracks like Sleepwalking Past Hope, Love In Cold Blood and great rock song Passion's Killing Floor prove Venus Doom's success without no doubt. On "Sleepwalking Past Hope," melody and atmosphere take you to the right place where music fans will be satisfied.

She Wants Revenge - This is Forever

*MM review
Rating:8.5
Los Angeles based dance rock duo She Wants Revenge are self-confident to expand their fans in the name of the sophomore effort This is Forever where many of them fixture influences appear. Yeah this is the extacly modern harvest of gothic bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and plus to these synth pop's popular kids Depeche Mode. This is Forever borrows from Joy Divison classic record Closer, and you even want to listen again Decades, Twenty Four Hours, Sound of Music. This fits with their music well when She Want Revenge add glommy Ian Curtis vocals to their sound. It's not by chance finding great tracks like first single True Romance, Replacement and Written In Blood in the record. Worth a listen and sometimes it's fullfilled with energy, dark and romantism.

She Wants Revenge - Replacement (MM pick!)

His Name is Alive - Xmmer

His Name is Alive is well known for their ethereal, last night meditations but on this new amazing album the band picks straight up where last years Detrola left off. Pitchfork media gave Detrola an 8.5 and described it as "someone singing softly right in your ear".

Fad Gadget - Ricky's Hand

For all intents and purposes, Frank Tovey was best known as the man behind Fad Gadget, one of the most significant cult acts of the post-punk boom. As Fad Gadget, Tovey on the perils of and his revolving door of conspirators released several singles and four full-length albums that stretched the boundaries of pop music during the late '70s and early '80s. "Ricky's Hand" is a song by Fad Gadget, released as a single in 1980. Lyrically the song was a sardonic cautionary taledrink driving: "From the pocket it pulled five pound / Ricky bought another round… Ricky contravened the highway code / The hand lies severed at the side of the road". The cover of the original vinyl single showed the hand in question being burnt by drops of beer in the fashion of a corrosive warning symbol.

Joni Mitchell's Shine

Shine is the seventeenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell and was released on September 25, 2007 by Starbucks' Hear Music. Some says she's the single most important female singer-songwriter of the 20th Century, i say no one can be the only one. For me, every single artists come with their unique talents, and chosing a top between them isn't always true. It's not hard to think that Shine can't be like any previous classic Mitchell records. However great mellow tunes can be found on Shine, like amazing "If," or "Night Of The Iguana,", these are song for relaxing, lyrics are truly inspiring. That's the most beautiful side of her voice, it recalls peace back to my room.
