Cos Trollheart.
Also to annoy you. It's always worth doing something just to piss you off.

You not getting music is hardly shocking to me.

Well **** hip-hop. I'm starting to get used to it, even beginning to enjoy some of it. This kicks off nicely and I really like the slower melodies and beats, not to mention he's a good rapper too, not that I know anything about it. He doesn't hurt my ears, that's all I know. He can get quite angry though, can't he? This is pretty enjoyable so far (seven track in, so halfway through) and to prove it, I've even written down some lyric I liked: “I care more about chemistry than anatomy she's mad at me” - that's close to genius, Big guy! Hmm. I see Eminem is on this. I didn't notice, but then, I wouldn't, would I? Good album for sure.

Check out more from this artist? Yes
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes, I'm continually trying to kill my image of hip-hop and get a little into it

It's not about not getting it, it's about making you bang your head against your bedroom wall screaming "**** Trollheart! **** Trollheart!"
Rinse and repeat.

Rinse and repeat.

Why do you think I do that?

I think that says more about how you react to posts than it does about how I do.

Nah, your frustration shows very clearly in many posts. Besides, it's fun.

Now go and read my review of Sepultura in the death metal album club thread and tell me what you think.

Album title: Grace Street
Artist: Big Wreck
Genre: Rock/Post-Grunge
Nationality: Canadian
Release date: February 3
Position in Discography: Fifth
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Yes
Average RYM Score: 3.08
Kinda sound like Queen crossed with Asia when these guys start. This is not great. Is this album going to be that derivative of these two bands, maybe others? Certainly not an identifiable sound of their own so far. Opener is basically “Heat of the Moment” rewritten. Sigh. We're five tracks in before I hear something interesting, a track called, perhaps appropriately, “Useless”. All right, the next one is not without its charm, but it's going to take a lot to change my pretty low opinion of this album before we reach the end in ... let's see ... seven more tracks. All right, it's not completely terrible, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to listen to the rest of their material.

Check out more from this artist? At some point, maybe

Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Yes
Average RYM Score: 3.38
I've heard both albums from these guys, basically the remnants of Thin Lizzy as such, without Phil, Gary or Brian. I've enjoyed both albums so hopefully this will be three for three. It still surprises me how much the singer sounds like the late Phil. Good hard-rockin' stuff, but it must be admitted it does sound somewhat rooted in the eighties, or even seventies. “Who Rides the Tiger”, “Cold War Love” and “Testify or Say Goodbye” are all solid tracks, as is pretty much most of the album. Hey, they're not reinventing the wheel here, but they don't need to. Another great album from the successors to Lizzy. Phil would have been proud. Probably.
