Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #11: PET SHOP BOYS – ELECTRIC…
After stumbling last year with the slower non-dance album Elysium, Pet Shop Boys stormed back this year without wasting any time to give us what we really want, Pet Shop Boys you can dance to, without sacrificing any character that makes Neil Tennant one of my favorite lyricists. I kinda feel bad for the boys. […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #12: FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS – MORE THAN JUST A DREAM…
One album I kept coming back to this year was the latest album by Fitz and the Tantrums. While these songs may not have broke the band out as big as I would have liked to have seen, they made one heck of a good followup album and sidestepped the sophomore slump curse. More Than […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #13: LADY GAGA – ARTPOP…
I stand by my choice. Sure this album may not have changed anyone’s life. Sure some of the songs are an exercise in being flashy. That’s the fun of it. It sounds great, it’s a lot of fun to listen to and indulge, and at the end of the day there’s some really great pop […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #14: DEPECHE MODE – DELTA MACHINE…
One of this year’s best came from electronic pop and rock alumni Depeche Mode. These guys have always had their own niche carved out that inspired others but was never quite duplicated. Their latest album from earlier this year Delta Machine is testament to this. It stays on the darker soul-searching side of their music […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #15: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE (THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE)…
Justin Timberlake made his return to music this year when he dropped not one, but two albums. Earlier this year he dropped The 20/20 Experience, which included the hits “Suit and Tie” and “Mirrors”, and we saw him return to working heavily with producer Timbaland. I reviewed that album and included the original review below. […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #17: ELIJAH BLACK – BAD DREAM…
Chances are this is one on my list that you haven’t heard of unless you are a friend of Elijah, or a friend of a friend. Well I would love to be that friend to introduce you. This was one of my favorite albums made this year because it is a collection of hard hitting […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #18: BLUE OCTOBER – SWAY…
One release that was underneath the radar of a lot of people this year was Blue October’s new album Sway. Anyone that has been following the band for a while knows that each album the band puts out is another chapter in the ongoing musical diary of lead vocalist and writer Jutin Furstenfeld. Justin has […]
Top 25 Albums of 2013 – #20: ATLAS GENIUS – WHEN IT WAS NOW…
Coming in at #20 on my “Best of 2013” list is a band from South Australia that just broke out this year. Their album is nice fun laid back affair with lots of flavor from the new romantic side of 80s new wave. Below is the original review I wrote earlier this year when the […]
The Year In *PRINCE* 2013: The Complete Singles Guide – including new controversial track “Da Bourgeoisie”
It has been a *very* exciting and fruitful year for Prince fans. Within the course of a year he has gone from his famous quote “the internet is dead” to quickly learning exactly why the internet is not dead and how he can use it to his advantage. With Prince having one of the biggest […]
REVIEW: LADY GAGA – ARTPOP…
It seems a bit strange to me how polarizing a new Lady Gaga release is these days. There are those that feel she has gotten too bizarre since putting out her first single “Just Dance” back in 2008. There are those that feel she is infallible and can do no wrong, and pretty much pee […]
