There is so much music coming out now that it is almost impossible to to keep up. I literally check my Apple Music every Friday for new albums and read reviews every week to help sift through all the noise. This is still not enough to catch all the great music coming...
Bring Me The Horizon: Post Human Survival Horror (Music) If you have been frustrated by the pandemic and the governments response to it (and you like heavy metal) then this is the album for you. If you are a metal fan and you are looking for some of the best hit...
Chris Stapleton: Starting Over (Music) Stapleton is an artist who’s voice I’ve long admired, but never was very interested in his music. This all changed with ‘Starting Over’. This wonderfully varied album delivers genre-bending power ballads like ‘Cold’,...
Deftones: OHMS (Music) In the last 20 years, the Deftones have shaped the hard rock genre into their own mold and carved out a sound unlike any other band. During the 90’s, they might have just felt like another of the rap metal groups just grabbing for spotlight,...
Run The Jewels: 4 (Music) This album was a perfect companion piece for a summer of revolt. And while I don’t personally see eye to eye with some of the messaging, I respect the perspective. Plus, the old school beats of ‘Out of Sight’ and insightful lyrics of ‘Ju$t’...

Dua Lipa: Future Nostalgia (Music) If you had mentioned Dua Lipa’s name and played her most popular radio hit for me a few years back, I would have shrugged my shoulders. Her first album certainly showed her to be a promising pop star, but you could write that about...
I just read a statistic today that showed less than 20 of this years hit songs and albums were by women. Well, that’s a stat I just don’t understand, because almost all the music in my Top 20 list is by female artists. Not because I have anything against male artists,...
Grey Daze: Amends (Music, Streaming) When Chester Bennington took his life in the summer of 2017, I was just a few weeks from getting to see Linkin Park for the first time. I had been a fan for nearly 20 years, but it never seemed to work out. Sadly, it never will....
Over the course of the last six months, I have listened to a little over 200 albums that were released this year (70% by artists I’d never heard before). Many of these were easily dismissed after a few verses (some of the Metal and Rap I listened to just last night...
