Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

okay, smashing pumpkins - zeitgeist fucking rocks! i’m a smashing pumpkins fan from the very beginning (i know that everyone says it but…). i’ll go out on a big limb here but ‘tarantula’ is the rock song the music industry needed, a big stiff kick in the balls, frankly as hard as music fans could possibly kick. this album is a wall of sound, the wall reaches out and virtually assaults you. this is one of the best sounding rock albums in a long, long time. and thank god, i thought we were going stuck listening to mini-pops and sugary saccharine-based pseudo punk for ever. this is the best all-round album since siamese dream. this is full of potentially radio-friendly hits.

bad religion - new maps of hell. these guys have been punking and rocking music for over twenty years and still put out some of punk/rock’s consistently great albums. this one leads a little more towards the rock/social distortion end of the spectrum. age, change and the shift through time never leave bad religion behind. this album is as relevant as their first. cuts right to the chase and hits you in the face. worth the ten bucks to add to your collection.
