Wow, this band just screams "We're from New Jersey!" The Gaslight Anthem borrows influences from songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and (obviously) Bruce Springsteen and adds a 50s flair and a punk rock edge. The sound might seem unique, but I really wouldn't call it something special. However don't let that discourage you. The magic of The '59 Sound lies with the unbelievable catchiness of the songs. After only two or three listens, I could remember every single track on this album, especially songs such as "Great Expectations" and "The Patient Ferris Wheel." The Gaslight Anthem is certainly a band to watch out for, especially since their next album, American Slang, is set to be released on June 15.1) Great Expectations2) The '59 Sound3) Old White Lincoln4) High Lonesome5) Film Noir6) Miles Davis and the Cool7) The Patient Ferris Wheel8) Casanova, Baby!9) Even Cowgirls Get the Blues10) Meet Me by the River's Edge11) Here's Looking At You Kid12) The BackseatMyspaceDownload
"All I know is that I don't know, all I know is that I don't know nothing." Operation Ivy is regarded as one of the most important bands of the third wave of ska. Despite their extremely short career, they have certainly made their name known in the music industry. Operation Ivy created a strong foundation for the ska punk sound that would be used by and built upon by numerous bands in the 90s. After the band broke up, guitarist Tim Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman went on to form Rancid. Operation Ivy's only album Energy was released on vinyl as a 19 song album and rerelased on CD with the Hectic EP and other tracks as a bonus.1) Knowledge2) Sound System3) Jaded4) Take Warning5) The Crowd6) Bombshell7) Unity8) Vulnerability9) Bankshot10) One of these Days11) Gonna Find You12) Bad Town13) Smiling14) Caution15) Freeze Up16) Artificial Life17) Room Without a Window18) Big City19) Missionary20) Junkie's Runnin' Dry21) Here We Go Again22) Hoboken23) Yellin in my Ear24) Sleep Long25) Healthy Body26) Officer27) I Got NoMyspaceDownload
The Ocean takes a whole new musical direction on Heliocentric. This new album is much more diverse than the previous three albums. Heliocentric ranges from soft songs featuring piano to heavy sludge tracks. Although fluXion and the second disc of Precambrian have been described as atmospheric and symphonic, both are still rather abrasive and come nowhere close to the level that Heliocentric is on. The lyrics of this album revolve around a debate between science and religion, from the perspective of science. A follow-up album, Anthropocentric, which takes the religious point of view will be released later this year.1) Shamayim2) Firmament3) The First Commandment of the Luminaries4) Ptolemy Was Wrong5) Metaphysics of the Hangman6) Catharsis of a Heretic7) Swallowed by the Earth8) Epiphany9) The Origin of Species10) The Origin of GodMyspaceDownload
In case you haven't heard yet:Peter Steele passed away on Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Steele was best known as the frontman of the gothic doom metal band Type O Negative among other projects. Steele's voice was truly unique and one of the biggest contributors to Type O Negative's signature sound. Rest in Peace Peter, you will be missed.
Loving you was like loving the dead

Thou Shalt Suffer was one of the many side projects of the Norwegian circle of second wave black metal bands. This project features Ihsahn, Samoth, and Ildjarn. Instead of the usual lo-fi black metal, Thou Shalt Suffer plays (or played I should say) a rather odd type of death metal, with extremely guttural vocals and effectively used keyboards. This compilation feature the original Into the Woods of Belial demo, the Open the Mysteries of Your Creation EP, and a rehearsal from 1991.1) Into the Woods of Belial2) I Seek the Path of Obscurity3) Chimera Dimension4) The Goat of a Thousand Young5) Succumb to Vestigia Terrent6) Painful Void of Time7) Spectral Prophecy8) Into the Woods of Belial9) The Goat of a Thousand Young10) Chimera Dimension11) I Seek the Path of Obscurity (Burp Mix)12) Obscurity SupremeMyspaceDownload
