1st post: Wtf is this?

Let me start this by saying I have no idea how well this will go down, if anyone ever gets the chance to read this blog or anything, but whatever. It's here now and it's here to stay.

Here I will start posting up reviews , random rants, blogs about anything and everything I feel like talking about , but mostly it will probably be music related, movie related etc. Now lets get started on our first review... which will be the newest album by Puscifer. ->>>>>>


Look at that album cover. Dont tell me you have seen anything as great as that in a long time.
Puscifer is the side project of Maynard James Keenan, frontman of Tool, who are currently said to be working on their new album , due sometime in 2012.

Conditions of My Parole is an internesting album to say the least. It starts off with the eery sounding "Tiny Monsters" , combining electronical music with Maynard's great voice and setting the mood for most of the album. Now personally speaking, this isn't one of my favourites off the album but still a decent track.

Green Valley is the second song on the album and it starts off easy enough with acoustic music and Maynard singing some pretty cool lyrics. Towards the second half of the song, the instruments lock into a pretty cool little groove and then... well... the song ends.

Monsoons is the third track on the album and if you get through this song and don't dig the sound of any of the previous songs, you might aswell turn off now. This song is another one with electronical sounds going around with Maynard laying some pretty calming vocals on top of it.

Telling Ghosts is probably my second favourite song off the album and it's got more of a rock song feel to it than most other songs on this album. Not much to say about this one, great lyrics , great music, a pretty cool song.

Horizons is more of the same we have already heard and honestly this song does not interest me at all.
Man overboard was the first song released from the album (or so I am led to believe) and it is a good single I guess when you listen to this song back to back with the rest of the album. It's got a little bit of everything and most puscifer fans should be quite pleased with this one.

Toma is one of the more agressive songs off the album it's another pretty straightforward track.Features some great basslines and awesome vocals.

The title track on this album is one of the strongest track in my opinion cause it's short , sweet and hits the nail right on the head. If you like puscifer, you will like this song.

The 3 closing tracks are all on the mellow side and at times I feel the album gets a little repetitive.. but it's still better than 80% of the music we hear in the mainstream and hopefully people decide to check this album out. I personally like Tool alot more than puscifer but hey, to each their own . I give this album a 7/10 as my final score. Great lyrics, great singing, gets repetitive and predictable. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more.
