I am back amongst civilisation now and back in circulation are to big names that everyone should be excited about. I am of course talking about the new albums from The Arctic Monkeys and Muse.
First The Arctic Monkeys new album 'Humbug'. Honestly coming from a huge fan i have to say that this is not what i expected. The brit kids i feel have got a bit big for there boots and have released an average album. The old Monkeys' sound is trapped under a bold choice in producers, by this i mean not sticking with Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford who was brilliant for them on their previous album. The trashy indie rock riffs have been lost and the trash outways with a grimy sound....however there are still moments of revived brilliance amidst the album so its definately one for a listen.
Secondly Muse who have released this track from their anticipated album 'The Resistance' - i am yet to listen to the entire album though without getting my eardrums around it i anticipate a great record that will reflect their old sound along with influence from the hide-away recording they did in Italy (if i am not mistaken).
And as this post was rock orientated check this edit of the Muscles hit 'Sweaty'....Shazam once again shows why he could possibly Australia's summer chiller.
CIAO!
