RANKED: The Mars Volta Albums – Reuben
Yo, this be Reuben. I've been listening to mostly Mars Volta recently, and for good reason, because it's damn amazing music. I reviewed The Bedlam In Goliath and bid it the "Greatest Album of All Time", which might have spoiled the order of this list but oh well, you probably asked for it. The reason…Read more RANKED: The Mars Volta Albums – Reuben
The Best Metal N Rock Upcoming/Recently Released Gooduns To Look Out For
Yo, this be Reuben. I thought I should write something and this beast came out. Oh well, if you're into the heavier brand of music or even more of the indie stuff give these albums a look. It (probably) won't hurt you. Upcoming Albums: Giraffe Tongue Orchestra - Broken Lines (September 23rd, 2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTiy_dJKZWg This…Read more The Best Metal N Rock Upcoming/Recently Released Gooduns To Look Out For
The Mars Volta – The Bedlam In Goliath (2008) Review

I'm…Read more The Mars Volta – The Bedlam In Goliath (2008) Review
I’m Also Doing a Top Ten Bands Redux – Reuben
Ayt? Yup, Milo did his oddly named Top Ten Bands Redux, so I thought I might as well do one myself. And NOT just cuz, cuz my opinions have changed. Now, prepare for a badly written, biased and gushing top ten bands -- again. 10. Primus I'm sorry, but I couldn't not mention Primus. They're…Read more I’m Also Doing a Top Ten Bands Redux – Reuben
At the Drive-In – Vaya (1999) Sub-Review
Following At the Drive-In's amazing announcements today, I thought I'd celebrate by listening to some of their stuff. Now I'm listening to Vaya, their post-millennial EP, so I thought I might as well give it a review. From start to finish, over this album is a veil of punk rock. Every song is punk. That's…Read more At the Drive-In – Vaya (1999) Sub-Review
At the Drive-In – Relationship of Command (2000) Review
Relationship of Command, At the Drive-In's last album, is by far their best. It's heavier, it's melodies and bass/guitar riffs are incredible, the musical variety is brilliant, and Cedric's voice is a lot better than in previous albums. Furthermore; it's got great musicality, and the guitar, bass and drums blend exceptionally well, creating a rocking…Read more At the Drive-In – Relationship of Command (2000) Review
