FLO RIDA R.O.O.T.S. RAP CD 13.99
'R.O.O.T.S.' an acronym for 'ROUTE OF OVERCOMING THE STRUGGLE' follows Flo Rida's internationally successful debut, 'MAIL ON SUNDAY,' which made an explosive Top 5 entry
onto the Billboard 200 upon its March 2008 release. As on the previous collection, 'R.O.O.T.S.' sees Flo Rida joining forces with an extraordinary array of A-list collaborators, featuring artists like Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, and Pleasure P, and including production from Jim Jonson, Dr. Luke, Eric Hudson, Mike Caren, and DJ Montay,
who produced 'Low.' |
YEAH YEAH YEAHS IT'S BLITZ ROCK CD 12.99
It's Blitz! signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner's vintage Arp--the same model used on records by The Cars, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk--contributes atmospheric washes ("Skeletons"), disco wiggles ("Dance till you're dead!" Karen sings on "Heads Will Roll"), and New Wave melodrama ("Soft Shock"). The first single, "Zero," combines all these elements to create a dance-floor anthem that sings directly to the listener. "We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things," O said. That's something I'll never be able to shake in the music I write. It's almost feels like a John Hughes 80s movie." But acknowledging the past in this way doesn't sound make for a nostalgic-sounding album. "I think there's a cool stability reflected in this record," Brian Chase says. "It reflects our transformation, and how we've developed as people." |

WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM BLACK CASCADE HM CD 11.99
The third album (and second released on Southern Lord) from the grimm Cascadia black metal horde: Wolves In The Throne Room. Black Cascade further solidifies their death like grip on the jewel throne of American Black Metal. Blazing and crystalline Metal riffs slowly collapse and shift into ritualistic dirges that invoke endless rain falling upon the ancient cedars of the pacific North West. It is as if the instruments are controlled by shadowy and elemental forces of nature rather than three forest-dwellers from Olympia,WA. "Black Cascade" blazes down a slightly different path than the recently released "Malevolent Grain" EP. This album bleeds with a much more primal, raw and aggressive aesthetic than anything the band has done before. |
STINKING LIZAVETA SACRIFICE & BLISS HM CD 9.99
Born in the basements of West Philadelphia and tempered by fifteen years of American and European tours, Stinking Liz has built a reputation as one of progressive, indie's / metal's most unique and devastating live acts.The trio stands far apart from the plethora of instrumental post-rock /math-rock permeating the current indie music today. Like crazed Russian composer Alexander Scriabin artfully deconstructing and reconstructing melody, guitarist Yanni Papadopoulos' squealing, singing lines soar above brother Alexi's churning electric upright bass. Drummer Agusta holds it all together with a pounding that's one part Elvin Jones and another part John Bonham. Their sixth full length "Sacrifice and Bliss" captures all these elements. If you're tired of the stale sludge that passes for modern metal, the sparkling crunch of Stinking Liz's latest will restore your faith in rock ! |
