Rancid
Let The Dominoes Fall
Adam’s 12x12 Word Review (I take care of Rancid; Billy from Boston handles Green Day):
Punk, reggae and ska synthesized to sublimity, just in time for summer.
|
Green Day
21st Century Breakdown
Adam’s 12x12 Word Review (I take care of Rancid; Billy from Boston handles Green Day):
Good not great. Worth the wait. Made the piano and acoustic work.
|
Dave Matthews Band
Big Whiskey and The Groo-Grux King
Kevin from Stoneham's 12 Word Review:
Is decent. Lots of electric guitar, not like that garbage last album.
|
311
Uplifter
Adam’s 12 Word Review:
Fitting title, very upbeat, with the harmonies and riffs you’d expect. Summery.
|
Silversun Pickups
Swoon
Adam's 12 Word Review:
Channels Gish-era Pumpkins: slightly psychedelic, swirly wall-of-sound guitars. Strong.
|
U2
No Line On The Horizon
Adam's 12 Word Review:
Not what you’re expecting—and not their best work—but works nonetheless.
|
GUNS N' ROSES
Chinese Democracy
Adam's 12+12 Word Review (twice as long, since it took Axl twice as long as it should’ve to make this dreck):
An absolute mess. Vocals so grating, I almost stopped the disc and ditched the review. Incongruous, confusing, and difficult to listen to. Don’t bother.
