Album title: Palisades
Artist: Palisades
Genre: Post Hardcore
Nationality: American
Release date: January 20
Position in Discography: Third
Fear Factor: Moderate
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Not really. A little. I get by.
Oh here we go again! Another band who couldn't think of a name for their new album and decided to self-title it. I'll never understand that thinking. Anyway, Post Hardcore and I have had a tumultuous, seldom successful relationship and I can't really remember if I've yet heard a PH band I like. The screaming/roaring is a bit offputting in anything other than metal, and then it changes to an almost emo-like vocal, then back to growling. Odd. Yeah, I dunno. It's okay I guess, but maybe it's just me, but this is kind of all blending together. I'm sure fans of post hardcore will love it, but it's not really for me, not at the moment anyway. Maybe it needs a few more listens. It won't be getting them, not here anyway.

Check out more from this artist? I wouldn't be in a hurry
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I won't give up on it just yet


Expectation Index: 0

I usually take a late career s/t as an artist saying that it's their defining/most matured/best album. That's why WISSK hasn't released an s/t yet, at least.

Good point. Didn't work for Genesis though.

Reggaeton!!!!


Awww ya!!

Any Zumba junkie can tell you about Reggaeton! I actually dig this a good deal. Actually, I had a welder who worked for me who was from Puerto Rico and I called him Reggaeton.

Reggaeton has a very rich history in Puerto Rico and New York. You could be arrested for listening to it in PR back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I was born in NY and had many PR friends in high school.

Uh, why? It's hardly got the most controversial image, the lyrics aren't violent, in fact if anything it's really laidback.

I think it's more common for it to be a change in sound.

That album isn't a good representation of reggaeton overall.

You'd have to listen to Ivy Queen, Tego Caldron, Daddy Yankee, Don Omar to get a good sense of it.

Nicky Jam is just kind of laidback in comparison to others. I wouldn't know if the lyrics are violent though from others because my limited Spanish doesn't help translating their stuff.

Thanks Ant. I'm actually having a lot more fun that I expected. So far, anyway.
