Icky Thump

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: The White Stripes

Release Date June 19, 2007
For me, the White Stripes can do no wrong. And while they didn't do wrong with Icky Thump, they didn't do their best either. If I had to choose a couple cuts to recommend, I'd pick "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "Effect and Cause."

American Idiot

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: Green Day

Release Date September 21, 2004
I have heard all the songs on Insomniac and Dookie and loved them.When I got this I was expecting kind of the same music but got totaly different and I like it.They kinda got away from their punk roots but that's fine by me.I love all the songs on here.The only song that I could live without was Rock and Roll Girlfriend segment on Homecoming.My personal favorite song on the album was either Holiday or Saint Jimmy.The lyrics are sometimes hard to understand because of his accent but you can always go on google to see what they are.The guitar,drum,and backup singers all are very talented and do a fantastic job.Recommended to any Green Day fan.

Weezer (Red Album)

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: Weezer

Release Date June 03, 2008
To elaborate on the title, this was the first Weezer album I'd ever heard. I liked it, though parts of it sounded dated (I was going for that, anyway). But after hearing Blue and Pinkerton, I'm not sure how I feel anymore. On one hand, its decently catchy pop, but on the other, it doesn't come anywhere near the previously mentioned albums. The stand-out tracks would have to be "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived", "Pork and Beans", and "The Angel and the One". The rest is fairly forgettable, but its not BAD, like a lot of people say. Could be a grower in the months and years to come.

The Bird And The Bee Sides

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: Relient K

Release Date July 01, 2008
Relient K's newest venture, "The Bird and The Bee Sides" is a collection of new songs and of previously unreleased demos and acoustic tracks.
In this album, the band has reached new heights and audiences with a new ambiance.
In Relient K's other extremely popular efforts, such as their self titled debut released in 2000 and "The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek" released in 2001 As well as "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do" released in 2003, the band reached teens and young adults with their Pop-Punk style. In their lyrics they discussed girls ("Sadie Hawkins Dance" The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek), God ("Getting In to You" Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...), and just plain silly things like what it was like to grow up in the 1980's ("In ...

Everytime I listen to this album it takes me back to my high school days. I recommend this to anyone who was a teenager in the mid to late 90s. If you enjoy this alum, I also recommend buying the music video collection dvd.

Weezer (Blue Album)

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: Weezer

Release Date May 10, 1994
In 1991 singer/songwriter/guitarist Rivers Cuomo came along to form this band called Weezer and recruited lead guitarist Brian Bell, bass player Matt Sharp, and drummer Patrick Wilson. It wasn't until two years later in September 1993 that the band finally completed this marvelous debut known as "The Blue Album". To produce the ten songs included they chose Ric Ocasek from the popular 70's new wave group The Cars. I really like the raw sound that this recording has and the cover looks cool too mostly because blue happens to be my favorite color!

An acoustic guitar arpeggio opens the album's first song "My Name Is Jonas" in good fashion and then the distorted guitars kick in along with the distinctive vocals of Cuomo. Note the harmoinca towards the end. The ... Read More:

Fast Times at Barrington High

CD-Charts > Music > Hardcore and Punk
by: The Academy Is...

Release Date August 19, 2008
Of course, there are plenty of 18+ people who will like the album, but for a majority this one just isn't quite about mature enough content to hold interest for long.

First off, this is not a 'bad' album, so much as a bad album for a band like The Academy Is.... Where previous albums were about life and touched on love in a more roundabout way, Fast Times is a blatant Boy Meets Girl high school soundtrack.

The first half of the album is likable because it consists almost entirely of hooks with a few other lyrics thrown in to make an actual song, while the last few are so generic they completely fade into the background if you're doing something else and you don't even notice when one song progresses into the next.
