As Cities Burn - Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest
I had this recommended to me, but frankly I didn't like it at all. It's post-hardcore, I didn't like how anything sounded in it. Everything sounded pretty generic to me. Only good song was the Widow and that's because it didn't sound anything like the rest of the album. Though I'll be honest I usually dislike this kind of music. Some kinds of hardcore and post hardcore sound great to me and others just flat out suck. Usually depends on the usage of screaming, too much here. Love that artwork though.
The Wonder Years - Suburbia I've Given you All and Now I'm Nothing
I've listened to these guys before and I've seen them live, they were good but I never listened to anything more though. Pretty good stuff, better than average punk-pop band I'd say. This album sounds a lot more serious sounding than the rest of the things that I've heard from them though. Gave off a good feel, most of the lyrics were catchy and the guitars were top notch on the album. Got a bit repetitive though. Overall pretty good I'd say.
GDP - Useless Eaters
This is my new favorite thing. Never heard of these guys but everything about this album was great to me. I was told it was hip hop and electronic sounding so I was already excited before I heard it and it delivered. The vocals on the album are incredible, the guy has great flow, good lyrical content (Seems to be mostly about addiction), and the beats in the background are just perfect. Whenever one of them takes the reins it's impressive. I will say I thought the quality dropped a bit at the second half but was still pretty great in my opinion. Loves it.
Alright, that's all I have to say this week. Not much frankly. So I'll just leave this Kanye West - Runaway cover I thought was pretty good here:
