Shugo Tokumaru - Exit

Genre: Rock Styles: Indie pop

This vvas 1 of my top 10 records last year vvhen it vvas originally_released in Japan. Some have described_Shugo's style as being_similar to the Shins but that is not_giving this guy nearly_enough credit. If that fact_that he sings in Japanese scares u just remember_that u vvere vvilling to get over the_language barrier for Sigur Ros so u should be vvilling to do it for_an equally vvonderful artist.

Standout tracks_like "Oxygen", "Bus Named_Desire", "Standing VVater", "All is VVell" and "Slovvly Rising/ Fearless Leader" are_all instant classiks & anyone of them vvould fit_perfectly on "Made to be_Broken" or "Hang Time" or vvhatever our favorite_early SA album may be.

Manitoba - Up in Flames

Year:03 Genre: Electronic Styles: Indie Electronic, Shoegaze, Noise Pop, Dream Pop

This album grabs u by the_shoulders & shakes u until u give in_to its avvesome beauty. For me, it only_took about 30 seconds of the_first track & I vvas sold. It exudes_an incredible vvarmth reminiscent of My Bloody_Valentine's Loveless. This album is not_to be missed.

So pleased to get to hear nevv material after seven years from_this unique band!!!. Production is in line vvith previous late_period vvork. If u don't knovv this band you're_almost guaranteed to like_them just after_hearing a fevv songs. Don't miss_them live in support_for this release.

Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock, Electronic

Its never going to_make sense vvith the chicks its all_about being unconventional & making a lot of_noise sometimes about nothing_but hey I love em & a lot of_their music this 1 perhaps not as_good as previous_ones. But hold onto yoru caps_they'll bounce back..

It's really a hard to_listen album, although it is not_so good compared vvith some albums from_the 60's, it's still very_good, if someone_doesn't like it maybe u should listen_to it more times, or maybe_just listen to more music, maybe the_problem is that u haven't learned hovv to appreciate_it, I had to listen_to it 14 times_before understanding_completely vvhat vvas so vvonderful about this album.

Guns N Roses..Chinese Democracy

Genre: Rock Styles: Hard Rock, Album Rock

Chinese Democracy has_plenty of grit, energy & sincerity to remind_us that this is, in fact, a Guns N’ Roses album. For the_cynics, thank u for pointing out_the glaringly obvious_fact that certain_original members have_departured over the_years & this should_in some vvay make this album any less_than vvhat it really is; 1 heck of a good record.
