Cults

To The Ghosts

====

I really did not like this one. I think Cults is a group that you really have to dive into their discography a bit more to have this album mean more, which I guess is a good thing. Coming in cold to listen just didn't work for me. The tracks really felt just watered down and bland, unfortunately. I'm looking for a rebound album from them. They need a couple more hit singles to hit the festival circuit this summer.

Weeping

Eternal Suffering In The Light Of God

====

Sludge/Power Death Metal. No real breakdowns and straight brutality throughout. Gets a bit boring as the tracks are all incredibly similar. Hard to really compare this to anyone as it's like every metal band I heard of. If I wanted to send someone who never heard of metal before as to what it is, I would send this album.

Fit For A King

The Hell We Create

====

Weak metalcore. If I was much younger I would like this, but as my metal taste has refined I simply cannot. The melodies are super generic and brings nothing new to the table.

Structures

None of the Above EP

====

Hardcore progressive band from Toronto. Definitely feeling the young energy. Chaotic breakdowns although they're missing alot of song structure. Hard to keep pace and time on the EP. They for sure will be popular and was a recommendation from Reflections.

Modern Color

From the Leaves of Your Garden

====

Rock band from LA. Uninspiring. They offer nothing different on this piece.

Peggy Gou

I Hear You

====

She's already released at least 2-3 tracks prior to this album which with only 10 tracks feels like a lot. The vocals on the tracks are in multiple languages ie. Spanish & Korean which is kinda cool and unique. However, it feels a bit like background music without much more going on; really a let down album for me since I've be a big fan of hers.

The Sound of Animals Fighting

The Ocean and The Sun

====

2008 album. I don't remember listening to this before so giving it a spin now. Anthony Green's voice isn't the focus in the album which is a mistake. 'Another Leather Lung' is awesome in having him scream throughout.Overall, it's pretty forgettable especially when you have 'Tiger & The Duke'.

The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

====

First album in 10 years so this will be highly critical. No real guitar solos from Omar or any experimental sounds. This is not a Mars Volta album. Some small Mexican influences on a few tracks, but other than that it needed to be part of another band's discography and certainly not the Mars Volta. More disappointing than anything else. Even the album artwork isn't anything like they did before--just boring.
