Bravery Repetition And Noise - Brian Jonestown Massacre

Advantages: If you like the Killers you'll like this
Disadvantages: If you dont like the Killers you wont lol!

...The Bravery are being heralded as the next big thing. They are also being heralded as The Killers Mark II so do they offer anything different? From the opener (current single) ‘An Honest Mistake’ you get the electro pulses that Suede or Blondie would be proud of. I love this song. Yes ok so it’s very Killers but they in themselves are genius. I really go like the mix of electro synths and vocals with rock/indie guitars and beats. Blondie should do this sorta stuff on their next album. This song is apparently about post 9/11 the bands lead singers bird cheating on him thinking the world was gonna end… hmmmm ok! Good tune though! More indie sounding ‘No Brakes’ has a U2 and Red Hot Chilli Peppers feel. Its retro in the simple 60’s beat that runs through through the whole song!

...BACKGROUD: The highly popular and Controversial rapper 50 cent new album release “The Massacre” is the follow up to highly successful debut album “Get rich or die tryin”, however most people don’t know is that 50’s first album “Power of the Dollar” was made and scheduled for a release in 1999, and most fans (hard-core fans) still believe that album was the best he had done, even though it never got its release, as 50 was shot 9 times and dropped from his label Universal. Like a lot of people I had huge expectations for this album, I mean he is named the best rapper at the moment, so I’d expect a lot from the best rapper!, after Games album release I’d expect great similar productions. But I must say I was a little disappointed, maybe it was because I had such high expectations, but after the first initial listen…I must say... Read review
