Acceptance - Phantoms

Maybe this is what good radio pop-rock would be if there whole genre weren't doomed to targeting tweens and/or alcoholics (emo and/or nu-metal); absolute guilt-free catchy songs written and produced like a real live rock band who has to earn credibility through talent and good shows. It's hard to imagine that such goodness exists and even harder to believe there would be a CD (not by Nelly or Toby Keith) that guys and gals alike could actually listen to at the same time without hormone-clashing. And it would actually be viable music.

Really, I swear. You'll download this, memorize it, tell your friends, and then spend days wondering why they had to break up already. Cheers.

Buried Inside - Chronoclast

In 1948, a car was designed and produced in limited number called the Tucker. It was an amazing piece of advanced machinery, designed so far ahead of its time that it was squeezed out of the market by big car manufacturers who weren't so forward-thinking. The burst of immense creativity was choked out by the kudzu of marketability and mass production.


That happens in music, too. And no one, upon hearing this album, sought to destroy this band or keep the album quiet. But, conditions of the industry nowadays doesn't allow for something so concise and focused on intellect. You have to hunt a little for things like this sometimes, but always worth the hassle.

Albeit abrasive at times, the pure madness with which Buried Inside attacks the concept of time musically reminds you of your deepest times in thought; the music here is overwhelming and brilliant. Another CD not really divided by tracks, but cut as an actual album. Artistry.
