August’s CD Pre-Releases in 20 Words Or Less!

By Jeremy Azevedo

Once again, I find my self waist-deep in obscure CDs and without the heart to deny them a proper mention of some sort.

In the interest of saving myself a hell of a lot of work, I’ve condensed all of the reviews for the aforementioned albums to 20 words or less. Coincidentally, this makes them significantly more enjoyable to read. It’s a win/win situation!

The Lost Boys: The Tribe Soundtrack

Exactly what you’d expect the soundtrack to a straight-to-DVD movie would sound like.

The Empty Mirror: Overwhelm

Sounds like it was recorded in a gas station restroom. Probably was. Named after a movie about Hitler.

Birdmonster: From the Mountain to the Sea

Has nothing to do with either birds or monsters, sadly. Turned down record deals in favor of self-distribution, lol!

Staind: Illusion of Progress

Staind, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Hinder, Puddle of Mudd, blah, blah, blah. It’s all shit and it’s all the same.

The Mighty Underdogs: Droppin’ Science Fiction

Gift of Gab and Lateef and Headnodic in the same group? What? A full review is in the works.

Jacks Mannequin: The Glass Passenger

Piano music for little crybabies to listen to while performing auto-erotic asphyxiation to TV Medical dramas. What?

Walkmen: You & Me

Their slowest, most boring album to date. The singer sounds kinda like Rod Stewart sometimes though, which is sorta neat.
