Album title: Zombies on Broadway
Artist: Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
Genre: Pop
Nationality: American
Release date: February 10
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Indeterminate
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little
Average RYM Score: 2.74
Well at least it's an interesting title! Will the music live up to it? Annnndddd.... I like his style of speaking (not quite rapping but close) the verse while he sings the chorus, and yeah, it's catchy as hell. This has heart, and I'm interested in it, unlike Aaron Carter's soulless drivel an album ago. This guy has talent, and a sense of humour. Really enjoying this. A lot of positive energy, some great melodies, good singer, good ideas. There's nothing here I don't like.

Check out more from this artist? Yes, definitely

Album title: Blackfield V
Artist: Blackfield
Genre: Progressive Rock/Art Rock
Nationality: English/Israeli
Release date: February 10
Position in Discography: Duh! Fifth
Fear Factor: Non-Existent
Familiar with this artist? Very
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Extremely; it's my go-to genre
Average RYM Score: 2.97
Some prog fans will loudly proclaim that anything with Steven Wilson in it is great as a matter of course. I don't believe this. I'm not a huge fan of Porcupine Tree, his own solo stuff can be hit and miss, and Storm Corrosion was ****. But then there's No-Man and Blackfield. I've always liked both of these bands, and his collaboration with Aviv Geffen usually bears excellent and tasty fruit. And to have the legendary Alan Parsons working on even some of this is a huge bonus. So far, three tracks in, holding up to the high standard I expect from these two guys. Using the sea as a metaphor for life and relationships is nothing new, but it's handled very well here. “October” is a beautiful song. The London Session Orchestra really adds power and passion to “Undercover Heart”. This is a fantastic album, basically just what I'd expect from Blackfield.

If he quits I'll still make sure he hears the new Kesha.

Tell you what: if I quit I'll listen to her entire discography, and the discogs of three other artists of your choice, no holds barred. But I'm not going to quit.
