Stroke 9 : Nasty Little Thoughts
Stroke 9 - Nasty Little Thought
Rating - 3.5/5
Well, for one hit wonders, this was a gem of an album. 'Little Black Back Pack' itself is worth five stars, but the other songs are good as well. They sound quite a bit like Third Eye Blind. A great buy for Third Eye Blind Fans. The songs have some cool melodies and the album is very easy to listen to. I like their music and simple yet catchy hooks and melodies. Every song is great, they're fun and upbeat, slow and somber, but thought provoking and very melodic.
The highlights are "Little Black Backpack" and "Washing + Wondering". There are some real gems on here. The only problem is that the music is kind of repetitive and monotonous.
Overall a great CD : fun, catchy and simple.

Alter Bridge : Blackbird
ALTER BRIDGE - Blackbird
Rating - 4/5
Alter Bridge was formed in 2004 by former Creed members Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall. Marshall didn't appear on Creed's final album Weathered. He left Creed in 2000 because of differences with singer Scott Stapp, but joined his former bandmates in this project. Singer Myles Kennedy, formerly of The Mayfield Four, joined the Orlando based band later. The band members originally met Kennedy when his former band The Mayfield Four toured with Creed in 1998.
The band was signed to Wind-Up Records and released said debut album One Day Remains on August 10,2004.Alter Bridge's much awaited sophmore album Blackbird was released on October 9,2007.
Alter Bridge doesn't disappoint in this new album and it seems
they've finally found their feet as a metal band instead of the post-grunge mumbo-jumbo which hindered parts of One Day Remains.The album starts with the hard hitting Ties That Bind. Ties That Bind is a fast paced rocker which leaves you wanting more and the band doesn't disappoint in the following songs.Rise Today is a power-ballad of epic proprtions.The catchy chorus gets stuck in your head after a few plays.Strong riffs and hooks are present throughout the song.The eerie title track Blackbird starts off with an acoustic intro before the distortion kicks in.The song last around 8 mins and it's bloody brilliant.
Recommended Tracks - Ties That Bind,Rise Today,Blackbird
