Music Ho Reloaded

Okay, I wasn't finished listing all the new music I got, so here's the rest:

The Vines - "Highly Evolved"



Much better than their second album (thought their second album isn't that bad). It's just this one has better overall songs. The second seems a little more bankrupt creatively.

Weezer (Blue Album)



Yes, I know I'm a late-comer with this one. I've heard "Undone" and "Buddy Holly". Good, straight-forward geek rock. Got the expanded version with lots of extra goodies. (I'm a sucker for expanded versions with lots of extra goodies. Extra goodies are good.)

The Dead 60s



Another in the current, growing list of British bands generating a new-wave/punk revival. Sound very much like the Clash. They may wear their influences a little openly on their sleeves (a lot of the new bands are guilty of these), but it's a disc full of good songs. If you like the Clash, you'd probably enjoy this one.

Missy Elliott - "Under Construction" / "The Cookbook"




My wife wanted these, but I'm always open to all kinds of music. Damn, that girl can rap and write some wicked-ass lyrics. Nasty to the core, but very creative.

Montrose



A blueprint for the 70s hard rock sound. Some of it is wildly outdated. A lot of it is formless (not really any major hooks or melodies). Just a lot of crunchy, straightforward rock n' roll with top notch vocal from Sammy Hagar and solid guitar work from Ronnie Montrose.

That's enough for now. I'm tired of typing.
