Music
‘Echo’ | Leona Lewis
The opening track on exotic phenom Leona Lewis’ second album, “Echo,” is the first (and so far only) released single, “Happy.” But this go-round, she isn’t bleeding love like she was on her acclaimed debut. Maybe a better starter song would be titled “Melancholy.” Even the upbeat songs on the album are just hiding heartbreaking [...]
Oh my God, it’s almost 2010: Best Comebacks
“I’m rubber and you’re glue…” No, not that kind of comeback (though that is a classic). Every year, singers, actors, movie franchises and companies make big comebacks that shake up the entertainment world. This year saw the return of diva Whitney Houston, the “Star Trek” franchise and “Melrose Place.”
Vagina Panther | Vagina Panther
You were dead wrong when you were thinking that a vagina panther was a big cat.
Raditude | Weezer
The album cover of Weezer’s new album, “Raditude,” is awesome. You see, there’s this dog, and being a dog, he doesn’t have wings, yet he’s flying through the air.
Play On | Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood undeniably has a cute, folksy charm. Listeners (and watchers) are instantly able to identify with her, especially when compared to other modern divas that seem psychotic and distant from reality (re. Britney Spears). She also has a fantastic voice that can be very powerful and stirring. Unfortunately, being cute and having a great [...]
Oh my God, it’s almost 2010: Worst Boy Band Attempts
Halloween just came and went, soon 102.5 will start playing only Christmas music and before you know it, it will be 2010.
‘One Foot Out the Door’ | Mike Posner
By now you should have heard about Mike Posner, the senior from Duke who is making waves throughout the music industry with his first two mixtapes. If you haven’t, don’t worry; you’re not alone. There are plenty of people who have yet to discover the musical genius of Posner, but that’s what I am here to correct.
‘Cosmic Egg’ | Wolfmother
“Cosmic Egg” is the best album by Australian band Wolfmother. While it’s true that this is only the group’s second album, this is still saying something. Wolfmothers’ self-titled debut was a hit critically and commercially, going on to win a Grammy and a smorgasbord of other awards.
Night Castle | Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Creating a double album is very touch-and-go. It can be hailed as a hallmark of music (“The White Album”—The Beatles, “At Fillmore East”—The Allman Brothers Band, “Songs in the Key of Life”—Stevie Wonder), or more likely, it will fall short of expectations (too many to list). Critics often accuse them of being created solely to indulge the producer’s whims and thus state that they could often be whittled down into one strong album, rather than filling two mediocre ones. Regrettably, “Night Castle,” Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s (TSO) most recent album falls into the latter.
‘Liebe Ist Für Alle Da’ | Rammstein
Few acts are more polarizing than German metal band Rammstein, back with their sixth studio album. Between the outrageous live shows and offensive lyrics, they’ve garnered die-hard fans and more than a few enemies.
