Sincerely/Twilley Don't Mind - Dwight Twilley Band

Advantages: A great new sound in a stale industry!
Disadvantages: There is only 12 tracks!

...Being a teenager and all that, I spend a lot of my money and my time listening to music and have strong opinions about what I like and what I don't. I also have strong opinions on just how bad the whole music industry is getting. Constantly chugging out carbon copies of the last production. Nothing stands out, nothing is different from anything else.... That changed when I heard the Pussycat Dolls debut single "Don't cha". The last girl band that truly stood for female/girl power was unfortunatly the Spice Girls. At the time this was all good and well, but this far down the line, platform shoes and lyrics like "Ziz-a-zig-ah" don't fill me with anything but embarassment! Although The Pussycat Dolls don't seem to base who they are on the whole girl power thing, its the way that six females have come together and made something as good... Read review

Advantages: Pop-Punk Supergroup's adventurous new album. Experimental sounds and catchy rhythms.
Disadvantages: Not completely unique, Tom Delonge's (Ex-Blink 182) voice dodgy in places

...When Blink 182 split-up many people expected boxcar racer to reunite. However when Tom Delonge announced Angels and Airwaves he also said that it was not another side project, this was his new band. The long awaited album "We don't need to whisper" by Ex-Blink 182 frontman Tom Delonge's new supergroup Angels & Airwaves, (AvA for short), can be described as experimental-pop-punk. With the usual power chords that people have come to expect from Delonge mixed in with fancy guitar riffs and special effects they create not a new genre, but one which combines the best from numerous ones. All of the songs on the album have a more melodic feel than that of Blink, but there again this is not Blink. Delonge has said numerous times that he wants to get away from the school-boy lyrics about sex and go for something that will make the world think... Read review
