The Pretty Reckless-Death By Rock and Roll: I never cared much for this band but damn did this record blow me away. Albeit this isn't as experimental as I Disagree, and I still prefer that album to this one, Flux has something for you of you're looking for good new modern rock, that isn't derivative of the 70s or 90s.ĥ. Poppy-Flux: Poppy's really committing to rock and still remains among the best new albums of the year. Ad infinitum inferno lyrics full#Its the first album to not feature any famous musicians as full time members so it was refreshing to see just a bunch of (relatively) regular guys making good music.Ħ. Regardless its very interesting and beautiful. I know it depressed me during the rougher times of the year. Very dark sinister stuff that can be dangerous if you're not in the right headspace. Walking Papers-The Light Below: Pure doomer music. Even some of the albums that I was looking forward to which let me down weren't bad, just boring or underwhelming. Honestly 2021 was a little underwhelming. Let me know what you listened to this year Sadly my least favorite was Myles' album - The Ides of March. Some other fun releases are the new singles from Memphis May Fire, Starset, From Ashes to New, Papa Roach and Wolves at the Gate Favorites are Hurt You, Silk in the Strings, Holy Roller, and Circle With Me. Everything works - instrumentals, lyrics, and vocals - Good Lord! There are so many ways to describe Courtney's voice - pleading, harsh, soothing, soaring, devastating.and the songs are ALL excellent, unique, and immediately identifiable. It has been a long time since I discovered a band like this (probably how I felt about Alter Bridge back in 2004 when I graduated college). Broken Pieces Shine, The Game is Over, Better Without You, and Take Cover (listen to this on a good pair of headphones and the way to describe the opening effect is coming around your head and into your eyeballs - trust me) are highlights.ġ. Several other standouts - The Fire Itself, Thorns, Holy Coward. Eternally Apart is a great way to start the album - the guitar solo is fantastic. I discovered this band through Nik Nocturnal. Also check out his side project - Sion - The Blade.ģ. The front end of this album just rocks! Howard Jones is the man! I am a car singer and there are few other singers that I love to emulate - especially the operatic side. Light the Torch - You Will Be the Death of Me. Also an odd choice to cover a Justin Bieber song.Ĥ. He has some help on this one from Lacey Sturm and guys from Breaking Benjamin. There is one true moment of greatness though - Let That Be Us - which encompasses all of Tremonti in terms of memorable lyrics, excitement when I know it's coming, fantastic vocals, and a blazing sing-a-long guitar solo.Ī nice return from Brian Welch. On one hand I find it great and the other it just fails to light me up. Great melodies and Chris' vocals are on top. I am enjoying it although several songs start to sound the same. Similar sounding to their previous album but good stuff.Ĩ. It's one I've listened to several times but the only song I can remember is "Remember When". I have returned with the third edition of my top albums of the year - 2021.
