Rock Music 4 ALL

Superjoint Ritual released their most recent CD entitled Use Once And Destroy.

Use Once And Destroy literally grabs your attention right from the outset with Oblivious Maximus and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Little H, which is another great track by the way.

Use Once And Destroy has a nicely varied, mix of 18 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall Use Once And Destroy is a solid release. Quite possibly Superjoint Ritual’s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 – It Takes No Guts, track 9 – All Of Our Lives Will Get Tired, and track 18 – Little H

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Oblivious Maximus. Great track!

Daughtry is the latest Rock CD released by the very talented Daughtry who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Daughtry fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

One word describes the CD You Cant Argue With A Sick Mind from Joe Walsh… AWESOME!

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with You Cant Argue With A Sick Mind. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

You Cant Argue With A Sick Mind is a nicely varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Overall You Cant Argue With A Sick Mind is a solid release. Quite possibly Joe Walsh’s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Rocky Mountain Way, track 5 – Help Me Make It Thru The Night, and track 6 – Turn To Stone.
