Mellencamp's okay (I actually Like Lonesome Jubilee as well as Scarecrow), but he ain't no Springsteen.

Okay, Elph, will do :D

Just because I'm being dismissive doesn't mean that I'm doing it without reason. You openly admitted to liking Mellencamp. Rethink your life.

Album title: Solid State Artist: Jonathan Coulton Genre: Alt-Rock Nationality: American Release date: April 28 Position in Discography: Ninth Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little Average RYM Score: 2.99 Well this is a surprise. When it starts it's just powerful and dramatic and I really like it. And I keep liking it. He's got a really good voice and there's a nice mix of styles here – bit of rock, bit of pop, bit of country – and the songs are all mostly short and snappy, very little over the four minute mark, and many hover around or just slightly over two, so you're not likely to lose interest, even though there are seventeen tracks here. “Pictures of Cats” is a really sweet little ballad with some nice accordion (well, sounds like it) while “Don't Feed the Trolls” is a bouncy and happy upbeat number. Get a kind of Randy Newman/Paul Simon feel from “Ball and Chain”, “Pull Down the Stars” is an acoustic folky little thing, and “All to Myself” has a sort of vaguely psych-pop aura about it. Really an impressive album, must get some more of his stuff. Check out more from this artist? Aye Check out more from this genre or subgenre?

Album title: Gute Nacht Artist: Kontra K Genre: Hip-hop Nationality: German Release date: April 28 Position in Discography: Seventh Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: N/A Well I've had Spanish rap, Italian rap and even, I think, Portugese rap (who knows anymore?), and now here comes some German rap. Well, hip-hop (are they the same?) - it's not bad when it starts, a sort of dark trap feel to the opener and then “Diamanten” sounds like it gets a little ethnic, with flutes and accordions and things, presumably in the samples, but as usual information is hard to come by so I have to guess. I definitely recognise the sample in “Mehr Als Ein Job”, but again I can't place it. Might be “Alone” by Heart, not sure. “Einfach” is pretty catchy, with a good pounding beat, and then the title track (which I assume translates to “good night”) is a slow, traplike thing, also quite good. “Lass Mal” is very bouncy too. Not bad really, not bad at all. Sehr gut! :) Check out more from this artist? Nein Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Jawohl Actual Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed7.jpg |

Album title: Places Artist: Lea Michele Genre: Pop Nationality: American Release date: April 28 Position in Discography: Second Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little Average RYM Score: 2.45 With a career on Broadway at an early age behind her, this is not one of your X-Factor/American Idol Jenny-come-latelys; this woman knows how to sing and has been through the whole process of being a star. Her talent is evident right from the beginning, with the powerful and soulful “Love is Alive”, and the quality is maintained throughout. My only gripe would be that she doesn't write any of the material here, other than sharing a credit on the closer; it's just me, that's one of my bugbears. Those who have seen Glee or Scream Queens will apparently know Lea, as she starred in both, and has gone on to make the natural step from Broadway to film, and she's also an author. So, a lot of irons in the fire, and it's a fire that seems to be burning brightly. Another slight niggle is that this is basically an album of ballads. Some are power ballads, some piano ballads, but there's hardly a boppy or even fast song among the eleven tracks here. For all that though, hard to pick out a standout track, but “Heavenly” comes close, so does “Proud” and “Anything's Possible” - kind of nearly everything here really. Excellent album. Just needs a few faster numbers to bump it to top rating. Check out more from this artist? Yes Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes Actual Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed9.jpg |
As a moderate Glee fan I'm down with her releasing a good album. Will check it out. She's also dumb fine btw.
