Here's your weekly look at the new releases of the week and, hopefully, some bands with animal names....
30 Seconds to Mars "A Beautiful Lie" - Another one of those bands-with-actors releases. This one has Jared Leto at the helm. I heard the first single, and though it's not that bad, I can't stop from thinking, "There's an actor singing."
Brooks & Dunn "Hillbilly Deluxe" - I'm not a fan of country music...
Eric Clapton "Back Home" - It's Eric Clapton. Though I've heard some bad things about his latest release of originals...
Cold "A Different Kind of Pain" - They had a hit a few years back with "Stupid Girl." I wonder how this one will measure up.
Honky "Balls Out In" - It has J. D. Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
OK Go "Oh No" - I'd stick these guys on the shelf right next to The Killers. That's the "They're kinda popular and I don't know why" shelf.
Rihanna "Music of the Sun" - "Pon de Replay" sure is a catchy song. Something tells me that Rihanna is destined for one-hit-wonder land.
Kanye West "The Late Registration" - It's easy to have hit songs when you sample hit songs. I'm still not impressed by West's singles. I only recognize the familiar sample.
Those animal bands: The Coral (well, it is a living thing...) and the Roadrunner 25th Anniversary DVD.
