Ready or not, here below is my personal worst to best about Pearl Jam discography. Of course, updated to the new album Dark Matter.  Let's go! 12. "Gigaton" (2020) To me their worst album by far. I like 2 or 3 songs, the rest of them I don't want to hear them anymore in my life. I find some of them too modern and others too boring or not inspired at all (the last part of the album kills me). Maybe I'm too drastic, but It's because I love this band. 11. "Dark Matter" (2024) Still modern and with some not very inspired songs, but in this one, I enjoy at least half of the album ..read more

Borderline Cowboys gathered body pieces from aged, worn-out rock stars and sewed them together to form what seemed to be a rock and roll band. Then they took it to Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory at Black Lounge Studios, and... he brought it to life! Borderline Cowboys is just rock and roll, no more, no less. This is their new single, called "Be Nice to Me". I like the blues rock mood of the song, fast-paced and catchy, with very cool lyrics. The song is very simple and straightforward in terms of structure and I find it extremely enjoyable from start to finish, with a good production and a g ..read more

Matt Sahadi hails from the Midwest rustbelt and is establishing himself in Nashville. He draws on his influences from the synth-wave era of the 1980s and 1990s to create a synth-infused production with delayed and chorusy guitars and percussion that drive the song while allowing the words to come through. Matt also incorporates folk elements such as acoustic guitar, harmonica, and tambourines, as well as Brit-pop guitar leads and fills. Matt's songs are for heartbreakers, soul seekers, and huge dream chasers. He returned with an existential-isolation ballad titled "Am I Living What I Always ..read more

Anthrax had been recording the last batch of new songs for their next album at Grohl’s 606 Studios, and Foo Fighters were camped there as well in rehearsals.  Grohl had stopped by Anthrax's studio to say hi and check things out, and at one point, Ian texted Grohl and suggested the idea of all of them getting together to record ”The Regulator." Said Ian, “Charlie and  I asked Dave if he’d play drums and sing as well, and he was in. Charlie played bass, and I was on guitar. We ripped the song live in two takes.” Charlie, the point person for all Anthrax-related project art, came up ..read more

Some Pearl Jam band members said this new Dark Matter their 12th album, is the best of their career. Is it true? Of course not, but it's the worst either and it's good news to me. I am an old fan and I was seriously worried after Gigaton, for me the lowest point of their career. I feared the inspiration was gone for good, instead, I found lots of good things on Dark Matter. Here is my opinion, track by track. 01. Scared of Fear It's a great opener and a breath of fresh air, considering that I didn't love the singles I heard before the release. This is a great introduction to the a ..read more

Roundabouts, a hard rock band from the Netherlands, is back with incredible energy, enthusiasm, and captivating music. They combine the rawness, intensity, and fierceness of bands like AC/DC, Airbourne, and Halestorm, you get a sound that is very similar to this new rock force.
