“Love You To Death”-Type O Negative

Okay okay, I don’t want ANY crap about this one! NONE!! This is a good tune! It begins softly with nothing but piano and frontman Pete Steele’s basement-deep voice. You think, “okay, so this is gonna be some goth ballad, I can handle that,” when the guitars, bass, and drumz come in with the doom to Steele’s gloom. The thing I love about this track is just the overall sound. I’ve listened to a LOT of heavy music, but there aren’t any bands that really sound like this, and I dig that. Steele’s voice, while processed to death, sounds original (there aren’t enough singers in heavy bands who have deep voices) and when mixed with the sheer sound of the instruments, it creates something very cool and atmospheric.

“Crazy Bitch”-Buckcherry

Just when you thought these freaks were done and out of the game (they DID break up a few years back) they come back with this, probably the catchiest rock track I can remember in recent years. Yeah it’s got a great hook, cool guitar parts, a sweet bassline (if you turn your bass boost up, this album’s mastering job is horrible), and dirty, yet really fun to sing lyrics, but its biggest plus is that it just plain rocks. I have the album and it rocks too, not as hard as this song, but it rocks. And damn it, isn’t that what rock music is supposed to do? So yeah, this is a seriously great track, an ode to emotionally unstable, yet sexually skilled females. Eat it up!

“Voodoo” - D’Angelo

I just started listening to D’Angelo’s “Voodoo” album and it’s FANTASTIC! The boy’s got GROOVES for DAYS! And the songs are great, though they aren’t packed with hooks. This is a MOOD album! There are some hooks on there but not many because it’s all about mood and groove. I’ve been in kind of an anti-rock, “rock is dead” phase for awhile and this album is like the answer to my prayers! Seriously check it out! It’s one of those records that grows on you the more you listen to it!
