Skrillex’s new album goes of with a Bangarang
January 21, 2012 • Nick Schliep, Staff Reporter
Skrillex’s new album Bangarang is certainly a trip down a familiar road with some new features. Now while he does try out some new things, the thing that holds the album back seems to be that, despite using new techniques, Skrillex is sticking too close to his old style. Returning fans are greeted... Read more »
The rise of Dubstep
October 25, 2011 • Danny Blackburn, Staff Reporter
Recently, while out with my friends, I had been hearing a strange new type of music. I did not know what it was, so I asked my friends and they informed me that it was a new genre of music called Dubstep. It resembled electronic music, and it was very enjoyable to listen too. I started listening to it... Read more »

Kings of Leon – Pyro
November 19, 2010 • Anthony Scianna, Content Editor
“Pyro” is a soft song similar to “Knocked Up” off of 2007’s “Because of the Times” or “Milk” off of “Aha Shake Heartbreak”. The verses start soft and build into the chorus which coasts at a soft effective sound. The chorus also has a similar arena sound to “Radioactive” but... Read more »
Kings of Leon – Radioactive
November 19, 2010 • Anthony Scianna, Content Editor
The first single to the new Kings of Leon album, “Radioactive”, is a perfect example of the newfound sound of the band.

“Put Me Back Together” Weezer
July 10, 2009
Following one of the biggest songs on the album is tough. But to me, “Put Me Back Together” not only one ups “Can’t Stop Partying”, but it’s also the best track on the album. It features a vulnerable Rivers singing about getting dumped. He’s clearly not over it, and says when he falls... Read more »
“I Don’t Want to Let you Go” Weezer
July 10, 2009
The closer of the album is another song that originally appeared on River’s second solo album. It’s the softest song on the albumand follows the two loudest songs on the album. It’s very simple and to the point and kind of relates back to “Put me Back Together” because it’s about not wanting... Read more »
