Ultraviolence (Deluxe) - Lana Del Rey

Finally, the day has come, this very well could be my last review of this woman. Now that doesn't mean I enjoy don't some Del Rey tracks, I do. It's just this and her last record are..... Poopy to me. This is the third album by Lana Del Rey, if you include her 2010 Lizzy Grant album. I already reviewed her 2012 LP Born to Die and I liked some songs on Paradise EP, which I still plan on doing. But regardless, I wonder how much of a Clockwork Orange theme this album may have? The album is set for June 17th, 2014 and I plan on having it up within that week. Also I plan on Larazetto going up soon this week also. Now unless you don't know how to read English, you know that was written well over a year ago. This is an album I've been sitting on since the day I heard it. The only reason I'm finishing it is because of Honeymoon and her appearance on BBtM. This review is historical because if I remember this contained the first time I made jokes instead of actually talking about the songs. So keeping as much intact from the review from June 2014, here's my review of the follow up to Born to Die.

1. Cruel World: At 6 minutes and 39 seconds this song is way too long. This production kind of reminds me a little of the wasteland on Turn Blue. Well, that should probably be good enough. Also there's a part where is sounds like she stops singing or her voice cracks at the end, around 5:30ish.
2. Ultraviolence: This track, while it sounds like her second album, this track is great. I can't believe how much I like this. Now does that mean it's a "TRACK OF ALL TIME", no.... but it's definitely one of the best I think of this year. This actually really reminds me of Bel Air, which was on the Paradise ep.
3. Shades of Cool: The beginning of this reminds me of The Sprawl II mixed with James Bond Theme and when she starts singing a little of Skyfall. And when the song "explodes" she just doesn't hit those notes. I wonder what sounds better Lorde singing All Apologies or this. The guitar that overpowers her voice is a little too close to a Bond theme to be forgiven. Dan doesn't copy Jack White, yeah that's funny.
4. Brooklyn Baby: This was a single released prior to the LP and you know, the strings are pretty but I can't really say that she's being funny. People feel like satire is an easy thing anyone can do. I don't think that's true. Part of satirizing something means being observant and paying attention and kind of not fitting the "stereo type" yourself. This song is the equivalent of if Oasis made a songs making fun of Britpop and other bands that pretty much just copied 60's music and The Beatles to a T. Not the "Fucking explain" sounds better on the clean version.
5. West Coast: This song kind of just loses my interest after not to long. For whatever reason I re-read this title and the song Sell Out started playing in my head. And frankly my dear, I'd rather be listening to that. 
6. Sad Girl: "Bad girl, nothing but a sad sad girl. Bad girl (I can do the whole song if you like). "See them out on the street at night, walkin' Picking up on all kinds of strangers If the price is right You can't score if you're pocket's tight But you want a good time You ask yourself who they are Like everybody else They come from near and far Bad girls, yeah" (I'm stopping because I don't know If I can have all they lyrics).
7. Pretty When You Cry: uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my ear hurts. I can't imagine this for someone with perfect pitch. But the title got me thinking, I can't think of anyone who's pretty when they cry. I mean yes you are not magically turned ugly whike you're crying, but while you cry I don't think people are gonna try and bone you. Unrelated but I'd you want to know good songs with cry in the title here's a few off the top of my head. Cry Baby Cry, When Doves Cry, Do The Cry Baby, Cry Me A River, The Sky is Crying, Cried, 
8. Money Power Glory: What are other words that sound very strong and attractive to people. Sex Fame Memorial. No how about Sex Sex Sex. If you think of somethign let me know, cause I can't. Sadly. Or maybe go with the classic Dance Music Sex Romance.
9. Fucked My Way Up to the Top: See this is why I should be a record producer, or an executive. ;) This very much so fits the rest of the style of the album. I mean alone it isn't horrible, but I mean those lyrics.... this is funny right. I guess it could be tongue and cheek, but I mean she doesn't pin me as the person who can pull this off.
10. Old Money: At least when you get married you'll only need your something new, something borrowed and something blue. But I mean this sounds good, but this just drains you by the end of a sit through. I mean alone it's nice. It really does sound good. I listen to this alone, and the rest of the tracks alone. They work like that. But I mean, wouldn't you rather site front to back for an album. Also for whatever reason I'm waiting for the dumb Hunger Games song to start playing.
11. The Other Woman: A cover of the amazing song done by Nina Simone. This, while not the original, isnt half bad. This in general is a great tune. But I mean at least she didn't kill the song like she did with her cover of Blue Velvet. Seriously, that hurts my ears to listen to. This is at least decent.

Now on to the bonus tracks from this album

1. Black Beauty: The correct title is Black, Brown and Beautiful and it's... an album I haven't been album to get my fingers on so I can't say how I feel. Straight Ahead is solid and so is The Blues and the Abstract Truth. What I heard on Sound Pieces, Screaming The Blues and The Kennedy Dream are good, but I haven't heard the entire albums yet. Oh this track, yeah it's so so.
2. Guns and Roses: No comment. Well other than Use Your Illusion I & II are the best studio albums and the best over all is Live 87-93. I do have a Gameboy, Its probably older than me. I got it as a hand me down. I'll save you the trouble, don't listen to that song.
3. Florida Kilos: Hopefully I wont have any there, I don't want to get caught by Crockett and Tubbs. Nice voicing with the guitar. But as the song progresses, it makes me like it even less. Also, your really getting me hot Lana......... I'm kidding, just to let you know.

Overall I have to give this album a 4/10. At the end of the day any jokes were said in good fun. But now to be serious, the closest thing I think I have to a guilty pleasure when it comes to music is chanson music. In other words music along the lines of the Emmy Rossum albums, but still that kicks the crap out of this. Hell, outside from the title track I'd rather re-listen to Hebrews by Say Anything again and do a full review then sit front to back again through this. (PS on my RateYourMusic profile I did a short review of that, and some other album's also.) Something else I want to say is I looked up the instruments, just as I did on Honeymoon, and look at these. Philichorda, Mellotron, Pedal Steel, Saxophone, Electric Upright Bass, Omnichord. AHHHHHHHHH

ALSO I will be doing a Clarence Reid Month, a David Bowie Month and a Zappadon in November sometime in the near to next year.

Music From Another Dimension! (Deluxe) - Aerosmith

I figured, since there hasn't really be anything of any note or even reviewing for a while the thme has come to do this. Yes a record I started before, the pre-review, the release of this some 4 years ago. There is a reason this hasn't gotten finished, but with the upcoming Steven Tyler solo country debut album slated for February 2016...... Also, some of this was typed 4 years ago so, yeah. This is the long awaited album by one of my favorite bands. I have been waiting for this since 2008. I have been holding a certain type of anger against them because of the wait  I said that this better be worth the 4 year wait. Especially since it's first official date was August 28th, 2012 and it was pushed back to November 6th, 2012. Well heck with you Steven I'm not picking it up the day of, I'm gonna pick you up a week late. Sorry, but I mean what I said. Let's see you be one Cd sale short of debuting at #1. I waited so long to review this because I had to brush up on my Aerosmith. I hadn't listened to any albums front to back, excluding Toys in the Attic in April. I was hoping to get this up by Christmas of 2012 but that sadly never happened, and you'll find out why now.

1. LUV XXX: I don't like the name of this song at all. I actually think it's kind of a stupid name. I listened to a few seconds then skipped it and listened to some of the other songs. I did return to it. The beginning kind of reminded me of a 2012 version of The Movie. With the spoken word part, either that of like Twilight Zone. Also, their name is not Prince. This starts off the album rather promising. The riff is pretty cool, and it gets you pumped to hear the album. While I"m not huge on the vocals, and harmonies I'll let them slide. As the song goes on and on the only connection I can think of is the verses had to be inspired by both Hello There and Goodbye from Cheap Trick. Also, by the end of the track I'm drained. I really don't even want to defend it anymore. Okay solo.
2. Oh Yeah: There is a song by Badfinger called Oh, Yeah. This songs beginning kind of reminds me of that song. The harmony vocals in this song are just... I don't know. The only thing I can say is this was written entirely by Perry. I mean I hear it, but still..... ;'(
3. Beautiful: The beginning of this song reminds me of Back in the Saddle with the foot steps. This song didn't really feel like an Aerosmith song, at first. Like I could see this maybe being a mix of I don't know. When it clicked was after I re listened to Permanent Vacation in my car, because I wanted to hear Magic Touch. After that it became my favorite song on the album. Maybe the only song I love too.  I like the textures a lot on this track, but I feel like I don't want to ruin the song. I mean there isn't anything I could ruin, but I just really like this one.
4. Tell Me: What you see. Starting with an acoustic guitar, this could be a rewrite of Crazy or Amazing. The only thing that doesn't make me want to delete this song off my computer is the fact the chorus is pretty neat. I like the trippy feeling from it. Sort of Nine Lives ish, and I like the backing vocals/harmonies also.
5. Out Go The Lights: This title is too similar to that Kanye off Dark Twisted Fantasy. Cool riff bro, where do I Get The Lead Out? I do like the chorus and backing singers, but I'm not nuts on what they are saying. The song might go over better if it wasn't a blues band playing it. The actual chorus is trippy, but I mean... I don't know. I don't think this is horrible, just not memorable. I mean by the ending of the song, I"m glad it's ending. Also nice way to end the song then come back, and why does it come back. For a solo that isn't even worth listening to.
6. Legendary Child: I don't care for this song. I don't really like the name, it reminds me way too much of 1976's Last Child. I love that song, and I don't really like this song all too much. I don't think this is funny, all the stuff I liked about the band is not working here. Also there is not reason this song exists.
7. What Could Have Been Love: No offense, but this is a gay song. By that I mean this song is kind of "faggy" for these guys. WHY THE HECK DON'T THEY STOP WORKING WITH MARTY! I don't think this song is that good, it's tolerable, but no matter how much I hear it I can't really get into it. I don't think this is a true Aerosmith song. At least not worth waiting four years for. I feel like this is a ballad, but it's here just to have a ballad. There is nothing here that makes me feel anything beyond it's a ballad for sake of a ballad. Stevie plays cigar-box guitar here.
8. Street Jesus: It's nice to see Brad credited to a song again. I thought this was the first time Brad was credited to songwriting on an album since 1993's Get A Grip. I was wrong, it was actually 1989's Hoodoo/Voodoo Medicine Man. This is also one of 3 song that credited Tyler/Whitford. The other's being 1975's Round & Round and 1976's Nobody's Fault. Well that is unless you count the entire Done With Mirrors album credited to the all the members of the group. Both of which are awesome hard rock songs. So as you can tell I had a "expectation" for this song. And we'll certain days I enjoy this, others I don't. I go back and forth between "I like this, maybe I was a little to harsh" to "Why did I ever like this" and the process repeats. It seems best listening once in a blue moon or two. 
9. Can't Stop Lovin' You: I really like the beginning of this song. After kind of re-listening to Get A Grip I gained a new respect for this song. It reminds me of a country song I'd hear on the radio, but it's kind of good. While Carrie sounds good here, come on. Talk about appealing to a pop audience. I do think this works out good, and it doesn't get worse with time. There isn't much to say, it's good. It's not a generic piece of Aerocrap. Maybe it does go a little long, but it's not terrible.
10. Lover Alot: This song isn't that amazing. It sounds like a newer version of a song from Get A Grip. The funny part is that it was probably reworked from Pump Era or Get A Grip Era recordings. With each listen I'm almost convinced to like it less. To be serious, I am progressively loosing interest in it, and faith in this LP. Also 7 fucking people wrote this song, maybe that's too many.
11. We All Fall Down: This title reminds me of Falling Off which I think was some like B-side or Bonus track from like 1993/1994. Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure. It also might be an outtake. But this was written by Dianne Warren of I Don't Want To Miss A Thing and other hits writer. What the fuck, this pissed me off. And as for the song................... I never liked Fallen Angels, but this is actually shitty boring lame ass song. I mean even Fly Away From Here has grown on me, but this. This is generic pop Aerosmith.
12. Freedom Fighter: While cheesy, this would fit better in August or July. You know Independence Day and all. Good song, not really. I prefer America, not this bullshit. Also guess who sings backing vocals here, Johnny Depp.
13. Closer: to God. This song starts and it isn't that bad. It kind of sets up something that might be good. While this isn't that amazing of a song, I could see it fitting on Just Push Play, I feel like this should have closed the album. 13 tracks, this closing it... that would honestly be fine.
14. Something: In the way she move. I like the organ in the opening, and I like how this feels like it was not used for a James Bond theme. But as the song goes on and on I see why they didn't accept it.
15. Another Last Goodbye: This is a stupid name for a song. I don't care for the title. To be honest, this feels like classic 70's ending to an album. While there might be a bit of a differnce, there is still Tyler and his piano. Home Tonight, You See Me Crying, Mia this song is pretty decent.

Here are the bonus tracks. I'm not going to waste time specifying which goes with which, but here are the bonus tracks. It should be noted that I really don't know of an artist who......... Why are you guys doing this. Nothing you've put out since Just Push Play is even worth revisiting. Hell, I'd even go as far to say it's not even worth checking out. Beautiful is a great tune and Can't Stop Loving You surprisingly didn't get old. Another Last Goodbye, while not amazing still pulls enough of those nostalgia heartstrings.. That track kind of holds up well, but outside of those; this, and your solo material, is basically garbage. I'm sorry. Now back to the bonus tracks.

1. Shakey Ground: I have heard the original, after I head this version, and it isn't a half bad song. The Temptations are actually a great band if you're listening to the right shit. I like how it sounds like they got a clavi to play in the track. This is pretty funky, and I love those horns in the track. They reminds me a bit of Straight Up. This is much better than a vast majority, if not everything actually on the album. Then we get a rare saxophone appearance on a Aerosmith track, which I'm pretty sure hasn't shown up since at least the 70's. Also there is a rhythm guitar appearance from someone who hasn't appeared on one of their records since 1982.... Rick Dufay (the guitarist who replaced Brad from 80-84). I should note there is a fun feeling to the original they tried to capture and while I think they did a decent job, the original is better.
2. I'm Not Talkin': This is a cover of the 1964 Mose Allison track. This was only featured on the Japanese edition. I'll say right now, this is more in line with the cover of Baby Please Don't Go off Bobo than the actual deluxe edition bullshit tracks. This comes and goes pretty fast, it's not terrible but it's kind of just same old same old at this point. There isn't anything special here.
3. Up On A Mountian: The thing about these bonus tracks are the Japanese bonus track Face off 2001's Just Push Play is one of my favorite Aerosmith songs ever. Period. So it sucks they don't release them in America. But anyway Tom wrote this himself and sings lead. I was very excited to hear this. And....... I don't care for Tom's voice. This is the first time Tom's ever sang lead. I might be wrong, but this song kind of reminds me a little of 2004's Honkin On Bobo. At least I'll be able to pick out his voice at the ending harmony of Love in An Elevator. I don't think I'm gonna listen to this song again :( I mean the song isn't terrible, it just isn't anything that sticks out to me as worth revisiting after this. This should be a bonus track.
4. Oasis In The Night: This is a song that starts with acoustic guitar, and was written by Joe. The thing is, when I hear this, I go.... what the hell buddy, you sound terrible. Is he doing for a Dylan vibe. If so, I guess he's doing a some what inflection of him now, but.... I really can't even like.... This song isn't horrible, it's just when I hear the lyrics and how this sounds together.... I don't even want to sit through the entire track. It's a nice change of pace, but that doesn't give it a pass.
5. Sunny Side of Love: Written by Steven and Fredreiksen.... this is so Geffen era, maybe like a ballad off Nine Lives. I mean, I used to like that album a lot, but really, it's more select tunes off anything post Draw The Line.

Overall I have to give this a 4/10. This is what I expected. I don't even know what to say. I really kind of..... this is my absolute least favorite release by these guys. Hell DWM is better all around. I've waited 4 years for this, me specifically not talking about those who waited the whole time. What they need to do is fire Marty and Steven has to stop trying to be cute and give the band personality. The 70's group had way more personality and were bad asses. The worst thing they ever did was get song doctors. Also they have to go the way Joe wants to, why?, because he knows whats up. The production hurts the songs for me, to flat out killing others. If you listen to the first Aerosmith album, that is a "true blues" album. Listen to the first like 3 seconds, with headphones and the volume turned up, of the song Movin Out, or Make It but on the Pandora's Box version (the self titled and Pandora's Box version are different, slightly). There is an unintentional noise in the background. Some of that, I think, was left in the mix because it couldn't have been taken out. Now it's like a germaphobic Aerosmith where they can't leave little bits like that and they have to have everything clean and sterile and if a little studio thing like that happens then they have to "rewrite" the entire album. Or at least that's part of a theory of why the pushed the album back 3 months, after there was a release date of 08.28.12. They probably had to give the album a acid treatment, the entire thing. UGH!!!!! Why are people so afraid of germs. I'll never know. If the next albums like this, I GIVE UP!!!!!!!! Oh by the way 4 years later it only gets worse with each listen.

Just Like You (Deluxe Edition) - Falling In Reverse

Today is the 29th, so this could be my last review done before the New Year. I still have a few I'd like to get done before the 1st, but still. I have all the ones I did pre-2016 scheduled to post from the 1st to the Xst (or Xth) depending on how many I get done. This has been worked on and off since February, so it's kind of long. This is the third album by Falling in Reverse. It follows their second album, which almost sounds like a different band, Fashionably Late. I'm gonna be completely honest right now; while I didn't care for majority of the tracks, on the second album, there were some gems.  But anyway, Ronnie announced he was gonna make this a sequel to Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, which was already done with The Drug In Me Is You in certain aspects. Well not really, but you know it's good to know he's leaving his rapping to his solo career and getting to more straight forward music. The bad thing about it is he has to be doing this to appease the fans. Never do that, never do anything for anyone but yourself (or band depending on your group). Zappa put it best, paraphrased, "I make music for me. If you happen to like it cool, but I do it for me". After leaving Escape the Fate, Max Green eventually joined this group for about a year or so and is probably on this album. Now I think the last album had potential on it in its set up, execution and some of the overall ideas on the record musically. The thing is the experiments, far more often than not, were all things that I don't like. Had they incorporated things I do enjoy or liked, I probably would have given it a 8 or 9. Sadly I can find something to complain about right off the bat, that being the cover and the song titles. While I wanted to give this album time to digest, I kinda felt the same my first time through it as I did every other time. Well..... The first time I may have liked it more than I did after multiple listens. Well here we go.

1. Chemical Prisoner: While I thought this was an interesting title, to be honest this made me nervous. I only later remembered why, in part. I knew I didn't expect it to be as good as what it's [the album] the sequel to, but you never know. The reason for the title, I don't know *cough* Chemical Love. After a few listens to this track I still get the same feeling I got it the first time. I thought it sounded cool but I had this type of "unsure feeling" I would lose interest over time. That or I would dig the track and eventually find it wasn't as good as it sounded the first time. So basically I figured it wasn't as good as the initial listen gave me and sound. And I was right. But I do like the intro, and I think its a good track if is looked as a sort or trying to recapture what was once there. Do I like when People back track, not really. I think this isn't terrible, and after just finishing the review for Hate Me I can say this (this is the far superior).
2. God, If You Are Above...: This is the first single from the album. You know, to be honest, this really sounds like a song off DIYLF. Damn, even the solo on this song sounds like something Montey would play. The only thing that doesn't really sound like it would be the electronic breakdown. Though that's only because it's more updated and current sounding here. With this as the lead single, I thought this has potential to be a great album. I do like how he is getting back to a more, insightful or deep thoughtful person. This track is about a topic that is rather serious vs him talking about "Gucci Shoes" or whatever he was talking about Alone. I still think this is a solid track, it hasn't lost any of it's punch or power for me. I mean it isn't like heart breaking or genius, but there is a little more here than just, as mentioned earlier, stupid shallow bull shit. Point to Ronnie. This is how the other guy should be writting. Not making Let Me Be.... it hurts to even think of that track.
3. Sexy Drug: This is a dumb name for a song. This song is also kind of stupid. I mean after that last track this just kind of seems pointless. But you know what... fuck it. I can give him a free pass, at least there was something of substance. Let him indulge himself a bit. I do hope their next record is all God, If You Are Aboves and what not.
4. Just Like You: This track is well...... I really don't know. I mean yes while it isn't a Game Over its still planets apart from Drug In Me Is You or even the more superior Dragging Bodies Up A Hill. I think the best possible description of this song I can give you is the not good mid 2000's Weezer meets Ronnie. Enough said I think, though it should be noted if this is a "make fun of the audience I'm self aware" or a "I'll do what style of music you want but your an asshole" I'm not laughing. Sorry but those jokes don't work on me unless your from the 60s or 70s or Zappa. If I could forget this I'd be happy. Also I doubt its the later in the what the song is supposed to be. It's not often you come out and say someone is an asshole  when trying to outsmart or out whit someone. In reality its more of a redemption by way of justifying his actions by pointing out your just as capable or just as shitty a person.... Because your a person. While, if that is the "deeper meaning", I think he's did a terrible job at it. It ended up sounding like an angry 15 year old wrote this making fun of people because he was so cleaver. The only take away is maybe the fact that he doesn't care is true and he'll go back to doing what he want, not stupid fucking fan service.
5. Guillotine IV (The Final Chapter): This is possibly the angriest song I've heard by Ronnie. The thing I don't like is the electronic part during the chorus. Do artists in Post-Hardcore have a pre-rec where it says, use trendy sounds in electronic music. It's kinda buried but you can still hear it. I mean it may grow on me but who knows. I can honestly say now no it hasn't gotten better. I mean there are parts that I still am not nuts about, the vocals in the "chorus" or "hook" but it's not terrible. It's kind of grown on me. But that could be because of the whole... What am I comparing it too.
6. Stay Away: I like the vocals in beat with the rhythm. While it's not straight up, I can't think of the word, I like how it's more beat vs a over the rhythm. Kind of like The Jazz Party Hat Discharge, that type of singing. This song is okay, but not amazing.
7. Wait and See: This intro reminds me of Imagine Dragon's one song that was big. And you know to be honest, I'll just skip this if I ever revisit this track. This sounds like it was left off the last album. I do have to laugh a bit, there are parts that sound kind of dumb, but I'm sure the message is more than what I"m just hearing. But parts remind me a bit of Weird Al.
8. The Bitter End: off the bat not digging the title.  It reminds me of one of my old favorite up and coming bands lackBay ideTay.  The ending of that last song and this one kind of blended together. But really, this song is to similar to that other song to like (the other bands song). This is a pretty generic song for the band (the old band). I do like the strings in the song though, they add something to it.
9. My Hearts to Blame: When they segued into each other I thought at first this was a remix of the last track. I guess Ronnie is doing what he likes, the electronic stuff, but I don't really feel that. I mean really, there isn't anything here for me to take away. It's not terrible, but I really feel indifferent. It's not bad, but it's not good to my ears.
10. Get Me Out: Oh my gosh, what is this. This sounds like an song written with I'm Not A Vampire state of mind. But where that song wasn't terrible, but not really great, this is kind of dumb. I mean at least he's writing pop.... right? Skip. This is very much one of those, or maybe a mix of that and Goodbye Grateful.
11. Die For You: "Darling only for you, I Would". This is more of a Goodbye Graceful re-write. I mean it's okay, but I'm not insane about it or in love with it. I like the As I Lay Dying section towards the middle but yeah, I mean outside of that there isn't much I'd want to return to.
12. Brother: The only real surprise on the album after I heard the singles. I mean those didn't surprise me, but I had an idea of what to expect after those. This track, while all three records have ended with a ballad thus far, including the ETF debut, this still took me by surprise. This is a different type of ballad. Where Drifter was country, The Day I Left The Womb was kinda acoustic rocky and emo, and The Westerner is the angry grown up version of TDILTW. This track is a piano ballad. And to be completely honest I think it's by far the best track on the entire album. This also seems honest. 

Now on to the deluxe edition tracks, two tracks which I had to wait to hear because they weren't uploaded to Spotify and I didn't feel like buying the album (considering how I feel). And while I didn't mind the wait, I miss not hearing it. 

1. My Apocalypse II: I was slightly irritated that there was Guillotine IV and then the lazily titled My Apocalypse II. If it was G4 and the G5 as a bonus maybe its OK but regardless its like he's trying to make this a sequel but it just isn't as good. But now that I'm done being pissy, I have to say this is a sequel. This is part two of a track, one of my favorites, of one of my favorite albums of the 2000's. Possibly the best album in the whole ETF/FIR cannon and any other projects that anyone in the groups have touched ever. And where the original still kicks ass after a few dozen listens, this sequel immediately doesn't pull me in. The thing that killed it is an over use of auto-tune, and also the programming. It's way to electronic, where the original I don't even think has any electronics. I mean I remember being blown away as a 15/16 year old hearing how awesome he utilized auto tune on The Westerner and how it just added to his voice. Made it resonate and helped sound better. There is sounds like he isn't using it to add, but instead he is relying on it. The first few listens that really got to me. But after hearing this and revisiting it I was like.... the real problem is not the vocals, though they do bug me at parts in the chorus, it's the lack of a memorable solo. That is a huge part of this songs equation, and instead of making something memorable it sounds like a mix of the others solos. It's almost like if you were to make a Star Wars 7. And this is your version of the sequel to Jedi. And in doing so you take and add and mix a bunch of elements from the Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith cannon (or incorporate those movies in to your movie). Ronnie didn't write G2 or G3 but he still basically uses all three as his template for the song. And while I like Jar-Jar, it's like he replaced Boba Fett's sick ass voice that's bad ass as fuck, with a Jar-Jar......... or a lame guy who tried to do that voice but couldn't. I hope that makes sense, it does in my head. I mean Jacky does a great job at copy and pasting parts of the solos into his solo, it's just it's copy and pasted.
2. Pray: I feel like this sounds like an outtake from the last album reworked to fit on this album. Also this literally sounds like the boring rock music that you'd hear on the radio. I know I'll never return to the bonus tracks, also I know that the only decent part is that there is like a water drop sound. It's a lesser version of Brother, I guess. It's like a ballad of sorts, but misses that mark in it touching me. I mean moments sound like old ETF, but the magic is just missing you know. And even after revisiting this after a few months I was still like... what the fuck ever.

Overall I have to give this a 5/10. You know, to be honest, this isn't that great of a sequel to DIYLF. That was obviously the best thing that Ronnie has, well the There's No Sympathy For The Dead Ep was pretty great and that's excluding the tracks the reappeared on the album, oh and thee demo is great too..... what was I saying? I'm kidding, but the point is I don't think that trying to redo the past is a good thing. While I didn't like a lot of the sophomore effort I still respect him for doing what he wanted to do.  And to be honest at least that album was more engaging. While I remember cringing, at least it was a style change. This album while it's better in terms of enjoyablilty, it's not better in terms of musicality. There was only one left hook and that was the closer. Why you gotta do this to me. The sad truth is why relive the glory days. Why not accept them and move forward. Needless to say its still better than Ungrateful and ETF combine. Also he seems to be turning into Kanye in that instead of looking in for inspiration or looking out, he wants to be funny or cool and fucks it up along the way. The thing really after spending time thinking about it Ronnie Radke  can't recapture the past. He needs to move forward and maybe find a happy middle ground in between the style, and lyrics, of Dying and TNSFTD and mix it with the madcap experiments of Fashionably Late. While people reading this next sentence will most likely disagree I want to say this. Even though just about every experiment didn't click with my ears I bet there is a young boy who heard that record and went "shit, I need to push the boundaries of what's possible" or "you can do this?". And .maybe he can open the minds of people who will become this generations Paul & John or Tyler & Perry and so on. This album can't quite claim any trophy, other than sounding bland. It's just so irritating that there is so much potential with what he does, it's just he doesn't reach it. I think my cousin put it best, while Jacky can shred he just doesn't have the melodies that Monty had (Thought his 2013 solo record isn't half bad). I think each year I'll devote a month to finishing up old reviews I need to complete. I kinda did that with that 2015 month in September and that Halloween Month the other month. 

If some how Ronnie would ever see this I want to say, please keep making music the way you want (or your band). Don't let people and criticism put you down. Don't back track. In a world where ETF is long gone and lots of music is becoming uninteresting (not all, just some) the world needs people to continue on with what they like believe and love. Music is art, art is an expression, don't let others cloud your vision. Maybe one day Fashionably Late will be a classic, maybe it won't. But I sure as hell know this album won't be. 

Ungrateful (Deluxe) - Escape The Fate

Because Spotify is an asshole (and changed Hate Me to (Deluxe) I have to download the album), I decided to finish this album. Also I have a job now, so I won't be able to put stuff out like I've been the last two months or so. Cool, this is album four, by one of my favorites, Escape The Fate. We were last left with 2010's Self Titled album. Minus G3 and World Around Me the album sucked dick. You can like it all you want, but it wasn't a "Gorgeous Nightmare"...... That would be a Zorn or Yamantaka EYE record (hahahahahahahahahahaha). That wa, on a more serous note, their darkest record to date. And I don't really think people would argue with me on that. Now 3 years later, no Max and two new members, kinda, here we are..... also the new record blows.

1. Ungrateful: This is a pretty great opener. This is catchy, heavy and everything that's great about Craig's part in the group. This sounds like it would fit very comfortably on the follow up to, hypothetical, This War Is Ours. I've heard this song tons of times and it's still pretty great. I mean the riff is there, the vocals are pretty angry and this might be angrier than past releases. I mean I could just be imagining it, but I feel like there is an anger when he screams, he isn't just screaming. And while not the best solo in the world, it certainly is memorable and fits.... and while it doesn't go to long, it is a tad on the short side. But I mean, I don't think it'd fit for it to be longer in this given song. It might just be me wanting . Plus I can honestly say the electronics here sound much better than on the last album.
2. Until We Die: This intro reminds me a shit ton of As I Lay Dying. I can't think of the song, but seriously. It's almost lifted from the song I'm thinking of. I want to say Nothing Left or Repeating Yesterday but there may be one where it is quite literally quoted from. While this song is pretty solid, I think the weakest link here is the chorus. Don't get me wrong, I think this is pretty great.... it's just the last song was much better all around. I'd give this anyday over Hate Me, but still. I think the piano section is very tasteful, and sets a distinct section.... but I think it was done like 100 times better in World Around Me and G3 (If I'm remembering correctly).
3. Live Fast, Die Young: This is very close to the sound I didn't care for on the last record. And the worst part is the lyrics are kinda stupid. I mean all the lyrics be this stupid, but at least they aren't so overtly dumb to my ears when I hear them. This is almost like he bashed his head in and then wrote the songs. Now this isn't overtly terrible, but I just don't like it. Like if I wasn't reviewing this I'd click skip. 
4. Forget About Me: This is a return to a tasty lick. But then he starts singing, and after the stop I began to get nervous. I don't think this is bad, it's just.... It isn't clicking with me. But all can be forgiven when I hear that solo. It's easily one of Montey's best. It's so good the song I didn't give two shits about I'm all the sudden listening far more attentive.
5. You're Insane: This is another decent track, and another single released from the album. I liked it far more when I first heard it. Upon re-visitation it doesn't hold up at all. Although I can pull another AILD thing. Though the main riff reminds me a bit of Avenged Sevenfold. The vocals reminds me a tad of Girl I Know and there is something that makes the Self Titled record pop in my head. The more alternative parts of that record.
6. Chemical Love: *Sigh*. The digital distortion waves would bother me regardless of how much I like the song. They don't ruin it, I just notice them. But even if they were taken out this song is so..... I just don't like it. I think it's too poppy, ha I know I like music far poppier, but it's just like trying to appeal to a broader audience. They could completely be doing this of their own choice, for artistic reasons, but I just can't get behind this. I can tolerate, but not support (defend is a better word).
7. Picture Perfect: The beginning of this doesn't really sound like this band. While I may not have liked it at first, it isn't half bad. It's pretty relaxing and pretty. I think the melody is nice and its easily one of the best songs here. It doesn't blow my mind, but its an example of a nice change. While it's more in line with the electronic tracks, its different enough to where I can say its different. 
8. Risk It All: This is a generic rocker that is on the album. Not a heavy rocker, more of a alt rocker. I mean there isn't anything to report about that sticks out to me. 
9. Desire: Nice riff, but then the song goes into this vibe I don't jive with. It's really not insanely different from the prior track. 
10. One for the Money: This, now in 2015, isn't the worst song they ever put out. No that award belongs to Let Me Be. But if this was don't in 2013 it would take the cake as their worst song, in my opinion. The lyrics are horse shit, and music is just ..... it's the worst of what the Self Titled had to offer. The solos has this epic feeling, and has a like build up that doesn't pay off at all. It's just.... trade this with any of the bonus tracks.
11. Fire It Up: The best way to end the record would be with a Picture Perfect or a Father, Brother. Instead we get a Black Tide track, kinda. Do I think this is bad, not necessarily. I just don't agree with this as the closer. It's not as satisfying as it should have been, and I mean seriously it's not like the electronics are not in the picture. So why not re arrange the tracks.

Now on to the bonus tracks, I'm going to include the iTunes and Japanese bonus track just because I can. Yeah I said it, I CAN.

1. I, Alone: This feels like one of the more alternative tracks on TWIO. It's not half bad, but I feel like this is best as a bonus track. This could actually be an outtake, be it recording or it was written, from that period. It's kind of a nice little treat you know.
2. Father, Brother: I don't really have anything to say I haven't said before. It's a nice track, good as an extra though. While I didn't look into the lyrics, I like the idea of what I picked up on. About relationship with his family. While it's been done before I can always support someone writing to someone who played a huge part in their life. The ending would make for a very neat ambient piece. I wish this would have been in the record just to end on that. 
3. Losing Control: The second I heard the drum machine drums I rolled my eyes. And then the vocals come in and I just close my eyes and take it. The more of this track that reveals itself to me, the less I like it. And the more I feel like it's dug it's grave deeper.
4. Apologize: This introduction isn't half bad. This is a quicker song, and it's pretty nice. While the chorus is pretty light, I still would trade this over any of the ETF-esque album tracks. This isn't the best track, thought the solo is tasty. I don't know, it feels like a bonus track. The ending also reminds me of Welcome to the Black Parade.

Overall I have to give this a 6/10. This album is best described as the album that was unreleased and bridged the change in sound between This War Is Ours and Escape the Fate. There isn't any other way of describing it, other than maybe some parts are darker than the second album. I also want to mention, I plan to do Just Like You this month.... as in finish it up. And hopefully Chasing Shadows too.

Fashionably Late [Deluxe Edition] - Falling In Reverse

This is the second album by Falling In Reverse. Now, I loved the hell out of The Drug In Me Is You. I loved it to the point of me buying it the day it came out and listening to it a few time's before I bought it, cuz I was on their mailing list. I didn't realize this at first, but there was a Deluxe Edition. Well I picked it up. It came with a slip case that held the Cd, and a pretty big poster. and two bonus tracks too, and a remix of Rolling Stone.

1. Champion: This song's beginning reminds me of when he was in Escape the Fate. It also kind of reminds me a little of As I Lay Dying. Back on There's No Sympathy For The Dead and Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.
2. Bad Girls Club: Really? This is like a faggy version of Tragic Magic. This is supposed to be cutesy, but it's really not. This doesn't even sound like them. It sounds like a song that would be played on the summer radio. Or, well, shit.
3. Rolling Stone: This song isn't that terrible. I kind of like the beginning. The way the voices are. This song isn't like that last "gay" song. The drums reminds me of the last album. Now I'm not huge on the whole dubstep part of the song, but it's not terrible. I can tolerate it.
4. Fashionably Late: Though the lyrics on this song aren't anything special, this is much better than the other single Alone. That kind of blows. It's the sad truth. With songs like that, how can I keep sticking up for you. This song reminds me of their first album. Kind of like the self titled track of The Drug In Me Is You. It's not half bad. So far, since I'm starting the review and going as I hear the tracks, I hope that the album will be more like this than the next track on the album.
5. Alone: I don't really know what to say about this. Other than it's like a shittier version of Escape The Fate's 2010 Self Titled album. The chorus isn't half bad? :(. I like some rap, but this isn't even trap-rap, it's shit-rap. Let's hope this is like Tattoo.
6. Born to Lead: This song is like, WOW! I can't believe that this track follows Alone. Talk about a makeup track.
7. It's Over When It's Over: I don't know why he want's to be a rapper. I don't think he's that good of an emcee.
8. Game Over: Why?
9. Self-Destruct Personality: This song really doesn't do much for me. I know that it's style is good, but the chorus kind of ruins the song for me.
10. Fuck The Rest: Based of the title this can't be that good of a song. And well,.......... yes :(
11. Keep Holding On: My favorite part of Trapped Like A Fly is the piano part. This song is kind of like that, more or less, but the entire song pretty much. It's really nothing special either. It's better than the last song.
12. Drifter: This starts out like a country song. With the slide guitar and all. And it talks about life on the road. This actually isn't that bad of an album closer.

Here are the deluxe edition bonus tracks.

1. Where Have You Been: This is a pretty heavy, compared to some of the others, song. This could be so much better if it was actually on the album. I think this is a good song. I'm not praising it, but I'm saying it's better than 10 out of the 12 song on the album easily.
2. Goddamn: This isn't as good as the last track, but it's still better than 80% of the album. The math probably works out to more than eighty percent, but still.
3. Rolling Stone (Shy Kidx Remix): This isn't anything special. Trust me, unless you're a fan of dubstep.

Overall I have to give this album a 4/10. This was a surprise. I didn't really know what to think, I mean look at Alone. Seriously, I don't care if it was a "Joke" or whatever, it sucks. That's being nice about it too. I give him credit for experimenting. But I don't think that what he did everywhere is good. At the end of this review, I think I'm going to Westerner.

The Next Day [Deluxe] - David Bowie

This is the latest, first in 10 years since 2003's Reality, studio album by the "Thin White Duke", "Ziggy Stardust", "The Goblin King" no one other than David Bowie. This is studio number 24, excluding the Tin Machine albums (in which case would probably be 26 then). Whatever the case he announced this album back on his 66th Birthday, earlier this year. I was surprised to hear this. I didn't expect much, but I NEEDED to buy at least one Bowie CD the day it comes out before I die. Now the only CD version they had was the deluxe version. Well I feel like I should explain how he has inspired me. I wrote a fucking concept album, at least the outline and had the songs arranged to it. Not written but I knew what I wanted. But I did it with a very Stardust inspired concept. I also wrote Captin Dave, inspired by Space Oddity, hence Captin "Major", Dave "Tom". And the line in return to space, "funky monkey junkie". This album was produced by Tony Visconti. He produced Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold The World, and some other things for David. Now, finally, This bitch is going up. I also figured, lets get this out of the way so I could do a Bob Seger System review.

1. The Next Day: I wasn't that crazy about this song the first few times I heard it. But after a few listens it kind of grew on me. This kind of reminds me of his 80's music. I don't know why, but it kind of does. But this song doesn't get as exciting with his vocals. Like he doesn't really excite like before. And the chorus of the song isn't really anything special. There is definitely an atmosphere to the song, but it doesn't really get me pumped, or relaxed. I don't think that this song really goes on for me other than just the beginning of the album. NOTE: 10/25/13; This song is one of my favs. I like it more than its original Beauty And The Beast. 
2. Dirty Boys: I kind of like the horns on this song. When I first heard it I thought of Dr. John. The only FULL, that's every track, album I've heard by him is Locked Down. I think it's Ok, but yeah this song totally reminds me of him. I think it's kind of cool that, thus far, there have been different styles. It's not just 17 sound a likes. I'm not saying I'm in love with this song, but I still think its cool. And I like the Japanese sounding thing during the chorus. The more I hear it though, the slicker it gets. If that makes any sense. I could see, maybe, The Thin White Duke singing this song.
3. The Stars (Are Out Tonight): The first time I heard this song was along with the music video. I thought it was odd, but I liked how his past "selves" were there. Just like Where Are We Now?'s music video, which was odd too, I enjoyed them. The only thing is that I wish David sang a little higher. You know, like on some of the older stuff. But it's not the end of the world. I wish the girl's voice "Out Tonight" was a little louder. I didn't pick up on it until I had headphones on. I also like the little "solo" part. Though there isn't really a solo.
4. Love Is Lost: This track hasn't really much for me. I don't know why, but you know, I feel like with more listens it has potential. I think this is a decent track, but it's not having the effect on me that Where Are We Now? has had. I do like the ending of the song a lot, I think it's really cool how it kind of gets epic.
5. Where Are We Now?: I didn't care for this song until I checked out a review of the album. I saw it the day before it came out in America. Consequence of Sound is awesome. I read that they mentioned that if "They could be "Heroes" just for one day" then this would be the next day. Something along those lines. And well then I listened to it again. And I liked it, a lot. From a different perspective  I thought it was like "Where am I now since I've not released an album in a decade". But I was wrong. This song has a bunch of Germany places mentioned. They were right. Now I'm gonna try to talk about myself. I think the keys are pretty and I like how he is singing the song soft. It does kind of remind me a little of "Heroes". This song is a song that I could see someone using for "That Love Song".  You know, when you're in love and you split up. Being a teen I kind of, more or less, know what that feels like.
6. Valentine's Day: I think it's kind of funny that the songs after "Where Is Our Relationship Currently" is Valentine's Day. The holiday for lovers. This song is good, but it's not amazing. There's just something there in this song that keeps me from falling for the track. This song will forever be the track you hear after you hear one of your favorite tracks on the CD to me. This song just seems like its about a boy who isn't very big, and in his "scrawny hand" he holds a Valentine card for someone. He want's to tell someone he love her, but he can't. It's kind of a sad, emotional (for me at least), song. I love the ending I like the "yeah's" and I like the way the song ends. That's a pretty cool sounding solo. It isn't Where Are We or So She but it's one of the best on this album.
7. If You Can See Me: This reminds me of like Earthling or something around that time period. This really reminds me of '90s music my parents used to listen to. I was born in '95. So I had 5 years of the 90's. And the 90's music didn't die in 2000 for my house. I don't think the music was as complex and had so much going on, but it vaguely reminds me of it. I also kind of think of hours..., thought I've never heard that album. I know, I should, but I haven't yet. I don't think this track is anything special.
8. I'd Rather Be High: He mentions something about war, and trading in guns. I think this somewhat relates to the theme on, I'm not 100% sure what song, but I think it's Running Gun Blues off 1970's The Man Who Sold The World. I know as a fact it's on that album, but I'm pretty sure it's that song. But yeah, I don't think anything special of this song either. I'm not knocking it, or the album, its just it hasn't really sparked my interest yet.
9. Boss Of Me: This reminds me a little of Heathen. I don't have a specific reason, but I could see this song being written at that period. Maybe more of less then or the 90's. I like the slap bass in this song, and I think it's cool how it's got this weird first impression on you. This reminds me a little of Dirty Boys too. And the sax reminds me of his glam period. I think the bridge of the song is pretty cool too.
10. Dancing Out In Space: This is like a weird version of Modern Love. It also reminds me a little of Yassassin off 1979's Lodger. The way the vocals are kind of odd, and it has a dance vibe to it.
11. How Does The Grass Grow?: The title of this song reminds me of Zappa's 1979 album Joe's Garage, Vol. II & III and the song He Used To Cut My Grass. Not musically, just title-lley. I really didn't think much of this song, based on the title, but with more and more listens, yes. It's a pretty good song that just needed to "grow" on me. This is a weird, and silly, song. But for some reason I love it. {8/10}
12. (You Will) Set The World On Fire: The way this song starts out I could see it being an 80's Glam Metal band song. It's actually pretty sick. I think that you don't necessarily have to like Bowie, but it is a harder song. Then the chorus reminds me of Never Let Me Down. Which I'm effie on that album, but whatever. This is still a "strong" song on this album.
13. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die: This kind of reminds me of doowop. It pretty much is a doowop song. It actually reminds me a lot of One More Minute by "Weird Al" off his 1985 Masterpiece Dare to Be Stupid. There is obviously parts where it doesn't but the main verses reminds me of that song. This is a pretty good song. This is kind of a romantic vibe to it, but the lyrics aren't so romantic. It's kind of angry. I like the drum rolls and the choir in the background. It's a good song. It also, with the backing vocals, reminds me of Still The Same by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and the part where it's the chorus and the female backing vocals come in and say the title of the song. The instrumental outro is pretty cool too.{8/10}
14. Heat: I'm not huge on this title of this song, but what am I gonna do. Call up Davie Jones and complain. No, I couldn't do that because that's stupid. When I first heard this track, I didn't know what to expect. It was one of "those". It actually, with the acoustic guitar buried, reminds me of Pink Floyd's 1977 song Dogs or 1979's classic, more so than the last, Comfortably Numb. This is a very eerie and bone chilling ending to this album.

Then here are the bonus tracks to the album. I'm glad that I got the deluxe version. Just like how I got the special editions of Disarm The Decent, Awakened, Ungrateful, Shadows Are Security, I still need the special edition of the oh so bad Music From Another Dimension.

1. So She: This is the only songs I fell in love with first time through. UGH! This song has actually become a sentimental song for me. I really like it, and it really means a lot to me. This is such a dreamy song. You could get lost in it, kind of like how you could get lost in Perfect Day off 1972's classic glam album Transformer. This though, is more Berlin Trilogy dreamy. Because of the ambience going on with the music. This reminds me a little of the how you could get lost in the "Heroes" album. That is the one, for me, that I think I get the most lost in.
2. Plan: I almost feel like this is a filler, but it's a bonus track?. But I think it's kind of supposed to be an instrumental prelude to the final bonus track.
3. I'll Take You There: This song seems like it's robotic. It's nothing amazing, but it's a decent track. I like the keys on the song. I do really like the part where it's kind of like the bridge. It's pretty sick, but the rest of the song isn't good enough for me to sit through the song to get to it. I just skip to that part.

Overall I have to give this, after much time listening and thinking, a 7.4/10. This album is an album that kind of needs, at least for me, to grow on you. Or you might have to digest it. This isn't a one time love it type of album. I've heard all the songs about a few dozen times and I finally feel I can give a good review. Hence me starting the review the day it came out and it going up today. And that's part of the reason it took forever. But this is a decent album and I'm glad it was released.

LONG.LIVE.A$AP (Deluxe Edition) - A$AP Rocky

I bought this CD yesterday. I had listened to A$AP Rocky's 2011 Live. Love. A$AP about a week or so ago. I was going to buy this the day it came out, but I was sick and didn't go to school. So I didn't go to the CD store. I also picked up Frail Words Collapse, the 2009 Abbey Road reissue CD, and the Avenged Sevenfold All Excess DVD. But anyway, I had to review this because I knew it'd be quick since I have listened to it yesterday. So why not get this review going, I can't wait.

1. Long Live A$AP: I don't think that this is that good as some of the other tracks on the album. I think it's cool, but I don't like it as much as the others.
2. Goldie: This song is also another song that I think it Ok. I like the way it sounds, but it isn't as good as some of the later songs
3. PMW (All I Really Need): The song has Schoolboy Q in it. I haven't listened to any Schoolboy Q outside of the one song he did with A$AP. This is a decent song. I think this it's kind of funny "Pussy, Money, Weed, All A Nigga Need". I don't know, I just think it's kind of funny. I like Schoolboy on this. I should probably checkout his album after this album.
4. LVL: This song is another song that is pretty good.
5. Hell: I don't think that I've ever heard of Santigold before. This is where the album kind of starts to pick up. It begins to get some momentum, at least for me, here. Santigold kind of seems a little eerie to me in this song. This isn't a scary song, but I think it kind of makes it eerie. I could see here doing a song and having her voice been like a ghost or something to make a scary song. It kind of reminds me of the female voices in God In Three Persons by The Residents.
6. Pain: I've never heard of OverDoz. either. This songs reminds me a little of OF. I can't think of the track exactly but it's one of the ones with Frank or Hodgy off OF Tape Vol. 2. This also reminds me a little of Under 2 off MellowHype's newest album Numbers. I actually think this is kind of a good track to go before Fuckin' Problems.
7. Fuckin' Problems: This song is awesome. I think 2 Chains is Ok by himself, but I think he's hard on this. This song is also the first time I think I've listened to Kendrick Lamar. The very beginning of this song is sick. It's kind of like, this is a stretch, but Kanye's 2010 song POWER. You know, I don't know why, but Drake's rapping voice isn't really something that I really love. But I can tolerate it, especially since this song is so sick. I kind of think that Kendrick is pretty cool sounding. I think I heard him on Conan, but I am pretty sure this is the first album listen I've done that he has done. There isn't anything that I can say bad about this song. I really like the ''dual'' voices of Drake and 2 Chains in the hook.
8. Wild For The Night: This is an Ok song, outside of Skrillex. I don't really care for dubstep that much. I've never heard of Birdy Nam Nam. There are a lot of artists that I've never heard of on this. I do like this song, I do though have to be a little patient. I don't really like Skrillex's music, so this song drags a little, but it's worth it to get to the next song. I really like A$AP's flow on this song.
9. 1 Train: SHIT! I have less problems with this song than Fuckin' Problems. The strings make this song 's 6 minutes an entire 6 minutes I want to keep playing over and over and over. Kendrick is sick. I've never really listened to Joey Bada$$ before but he was pretty sick. I really like YelaWolf. Then my boy Danny Brown takes the mic right after that. I could kind of see this being like a Wu-Tang track. The reason is because they all go so hard and just flow. Actually Action Bronson's voice reminded me of Ghostface the first time I heard it on this album. For a first time of hearing K.R.I.T. I am going to listen to 4eva Na Day and maybe Live From The Underground right after this album is over.
10. Fashion Killa: This song is like FUCK! I can't exactly describe it, but I love this song. I just think that the whole entire beat in the background is so sick. It kind of reminds me a little of I Will's off XXX. You know with how its like the little voices. The lyrics remind me a little of Steven Tyler because he rhymes so much? Whatever, all I know is that Hot Damn!
11. Phoenix: I don't really like this song. I don't know why, maybe cuz it's after one of my favorite songs, but still. I honestly could have done without this song. Maybe it'll grow on me in the future, but I don't really see that happening.
12. Suddenly: You know, this is an Ok song. I'm not huge on it, but I don't hate it. This song is ok

These are the bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition of the CD.

1. Jodye: This song is Ok. I think that it's a decent song. But I'm not huge on it.
2. Ghetto Symphony: This song has Gunplay and A$AP Ferg. I should probably check out Lord$ Never Worry. I do really like the little sample in the beginning of the song. It reminds me a little of Lil B's Gods Father mixtape. This songs title first it. It kind of seems like a symphony. I wish that this was switched this with like the first track or something like that. Thats would be a good intro track, at least I think.
3. Angels: My only real problem with this song is the dial up at the beginning. I don't know why, but I feel like he didn't have to put that in there. Beside that thought, it's an awesome song. I with they switched this with Phoenix on the album.
4. I Come Apart: This song has Florence from Florence and the Machine on it. This song is a pretty epic feeling to it. There is like a kind of guitar sounding thing. I don't know, but it's kind of like a more ''full blown'' version, in a sense, of Hell. This is a pretty sick songs thought. His voice actually does reminds me a little of Lil B on this track.

Overall I have to give this a 8.1/10. I was suprised that I liked this song much. The one thing that is bad is that it doesn't get ''AMAZING'' until about track 7 and stays that way until track 10. I actually have a shit load of albums/mixtapes to check since listening to this. Like 4eva Na Day, Live From The Underground, Rare Chandeliers, finish up Trunk Musik. there are a bunch of others I have to checkout, but those are just some. I am also looking forward to Wolf, Doris,
