			Brian Fallon - Painkillers (2016 solo album debut came out today 3/11/2016) 5/5 Ok here is the deal. I know a little bit of Gaslight Anthem stuff but I am not the super fan that knew I was listening to the front man's solo debut album this morning when I put on the new release list on Spotify. This new album just blew me away. I've been through it 3 times already today (and now back cataloging the Gaslight shit).... Lyrically it has pockets of absolute brilliance where you hear a line that gets right in that sweet spot and you have to say...fuck...that is fucking good. I say this album is 10% Ryan Adams Alt Country style and 90% good-era Bruce Springsteen sounding..vocally and with some of the instrumentation choices (I heard a damn xylophone a few times).... I will say it is NOTHING like a Gaslight album minus the growling vocals of course. I love love love this album. It is easy, accessible, perfect for many moods and times of day...basically I am currently over the moon for it. 5/5 - album of the year so far for me. |

			Blood Orange ~FREETOWN SOUND~ Recognized a KRS-One sample from the Ghetto Music Blueprint album. I kinda fell asleep during my listen and I don't think I recognized that the Hadron Collider song with Nelly Furtado on it that I got on a cassette at his show was on the album. I was really excited for this because I love everything that Dev Hynes has ever done. The album is long and I feel like I will have to listen to it at least 10 times before I start to "understand" it. |

			I revisited Gorguts' Obscura album, and I don't know if it is because I'm using different/better quality earphones than before or because I just wasn't ready for the record at the time, but this is definitely an 8/10 at a minimum, compared to what I originally gave it four years ago or so.
