Album title: Scatterbrain
Artist: KXM
Genre: Hard Rock
Nationality: American
Release date: March 13
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Yes
Average RYM Score: 3.24
Ex-members of Dokken and King's X? Sounds good. Well, maybe: I'm not really impressed with the opener, and title track, and it's kind of boring until “Big Sky Country” catches my attention, and “Not a Single Word” is good too, as is “Panic Attack”, but the title of “It's Never Enough” belies the truth. Man that's a terrible song. And now the album has begun a real decline as they rack off two more really poor songs. They pull it back at the last with a country-ish ballad, but overall it's not completely poor, but it's a lot below par than I might have expected. Actually, the ballad isn't even that great, to be fair.

Check out more from this artist? Probably not
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes


Expectation Index: 7

My dad is all the **** about those dudes for some reason. Sounded pretty stale and slapped together even for a radio has-beens supergroup. They clearly did it for cash.

My thoughts exactly. ****ing "supergroups": why don't they just retire with good grace and live on their fortunes? Guys must be in their sixties by now. Except for the drummer from Korn. And who gives a **** about the drummer from Korn?

Album title: Blossom
Artist: Milky Chance
Genre: Folktronica/Pop
Nationality: German
Release date: March 17
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 2.73
Folktronica? Ah. A mix of electronic music and folk. Well, I suppose I could have guessed that. In fact, I think I may have heard a folktronica album before, though I'll be damned if I can remember what it was. So far though I'd have to say this is fairly boring and I see little if any folk in it. Sorry, I can't take this: it's just way too tedious. Even the addition of a harmonica – which normally allows me to grant a stay of execution on an album, as it were – can't save this. Not actually terrible, just boring. What kind of a stupid band name is Milky Chance, anyway?

Check out more from this artist? No
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? If folktronica is all like this, no, not if I can help it

Never before has this sentence been uttered in the history of music.

He cared about the drummer as a young man too. As I said: .
