I've decided to do a new kind of blog. Similar to that of the record collection a couple s do. Im gonna puck 3 random record from my small collection and give a quick analysis of them and why I recommend them/ have them.
I have 44 albums in front of me. But not in total. I will enter that into a random number generator, and have it choose 3 albums for me. Now, not every album I own is metal or rock. I have country and hip hop too. We dont know what we'll get.
#15 SRV & The Double Trouble - The Real Deal Greatest Hits
I got this record a couple years back in my $5 cd obsession. I was buying pretty much anything that caught my eye. I have listened to this album before through YouTube. But not on CD. So this package was still wrapped. I appreciate Stevie Ray Vaughn like I appreciate Joe Bonnamossa. Because both artists don't stick to one style of blues or rock.
SRV also has a very noticeable tone. Scooped out lows, boosted mids. And his bending is very noticeable too. On "Aint Gone 'N' Give Up On Love" his soloing isn't over done which is why I and many others appreciate him. I would have to say my favorite riff is the Scuttle Buttin riff. Thats just a hot lick I tell ya. The song in general is just great.
2. #7: Pearl Jam - Vs
So I got this album from a yard sale. Ive listened to Vs so many times. Im a big Pearl Jam fan. I have the Rearview Mirror collection. Vs is a very impactful and energetic album back to back and i dont think there's much bad about it. Many skngs have more than just personal meaning to them. Like Glorified G. Which is an anti gun song. Funny the drummer had started an argument about him having to new guns and now for the rest of his career out of spite he has to play an anti gun song pointed towards him. Oh the irony.
I'd say my favorite song is either Animal or Rearviewmirror. Its a hard pick. Theyre just so great. Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town will always be a personal favorite though.
3. #24: Bowling For Soup - The Great Burrito Extortion Case
I dont exactly where I got this CD or why the front cover is so dirty. All I know is I had heard a couple songs from this band and then like maybe a month later found this CD in some store years ago. Im not big on Pop Punk but Bowling For Soup were always a pretty good band.
The album does start pretty loudly. The songs are catchy. But thats the point of the genre. I guess these guys really gear their music towards the older generation especially with the Highschool Never Ends song. Or atleast they're making fun of Pop Punk's cheeziness. Maybe?
End
So these are this weeks 3 albums. Its raining and I'm just here listening to records all day. Hopefully next week the randomizer will give me City of Evil. Cuz thats my "piss my neighbors off" record lol.
