Yo, this be Reuben. Before we get into this, there's a couple of things I'll clarify, first, a sophomore album is a band's second album for any of you who might not know, and also, unless you already knew, that I'm a rock/metal boi primarily, and although I do listen to other thangs, those are…Read more Top 20 Sophomore Albums – Reuben

SAT500: Best Song Of The 00s
The all the best things happened in the 00s -- McFly, the War on Terror... um... Match Attax!! Classic... Milo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcHKOC64KnE Go With The Flow - Queens Of The Stone Age (2002) While my technical favourite song of the 00s is actually my favourite song of all time, I thought I'd bestow the honour upon…Read more SAT500: Best Song Of The 00s
SAT500: Best Drummer Of All Time
Ahhhh YESSSSSS. Our primal response to music is the beat -- and these stickmaestros are the best. Milo. Brad Wilk - Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave/Prophets of Rage As a drummer, this was a hard category to narrow down, so I had to go directly for my tippy-toes top, top drummers. For me, Brad Wilk mixes…Read more SAT500: Best Drummer Of All Time
RRR: Led Zeppelin – The Rain Song
Yo, this be Reuben. Remember these? That triple R stands for Reuben's Rhythmic Ruckus, my shameless copy of Milo's MMM.

And as we…Read more RRR: Led Zeppelin – The Rain Song

Please Come Back, Mars Volta... PLEASE. *Way-hay, Stuff and That's 2-years-old! How 'bout that.

Black Sabbath (Eponymous, 1970) Review
Without Warning, The Wizard Walks By. Yo, this be Reuben. Bear in mind this before you read this review. I'm 15, and I'm reviewing an album from 1970, so the details might be a bit rusty and I might accidentally write some Sabbath blasphemy along the way, but... Oh well, if you want to know…Read more Black Sabbath (Eponymous, 1970) Review
Mastodon – Sultan’s Curse – Impressions ‘n Dat
Yo, this be Reuben. I mean, I don't know if I'm going to be able to put what I think of this song into a literate string of words. But let's wait a sec with some context. Mastodon were building up the hype for this, through monstrosities like what you are going to watch, because…Read more Mastodon – Sultan’s Curse – Impressions ‘n Dat
Gojira – Magma (2016) Review
The World Ends, Gojira Begins. Yo, this be Reuben. I love a bit of metal, and I love a bit of prog; assuming they're both good, that is. French band Gojira (who's name is literally a micky-take of how Japanese people say Godzilla - pretty good, I know) have been sporting the prog metal genre…Read more Gojira – Magma (2016) Review
