For my fourth review, I chose an older album, from the first half of 2005: Mein Rasend Herz. For those who don't know In Extremo, they are a band that mixes medieval and metal music, with bagpipes, harp, and several other unusual instruments. They released a live CD/DVD (Raue Spree 2005) lately and they have taken part into the Eurovision contest, which probably helped them for the charts. As a matter of fact, In Extremo has never had so high positions in charts before the live album (I think it had started at #3, then got down slowly,…

This is meant to be a pretty short journal entry. At least compared to my others. I felt like reviewing Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge a few weeks ago, then I chose not to. First, because I knew I would get bashed by emo-haters who wouldn't even take the time to read the review before posting stupid comments. Not that I'd really care for their comments, but there were many other CDs, especially some by Samsas Traum, that I thought would be more relevant reviewing. So anyway, in the end, I never made that review…I shall someday. For the moment,…

Second review: You And Me Against The World

I must say I wasn't a huge fan of Apoptygma Berzerk in the past. I really liked some songs like Suffer In Silence or Until The End Of The World (yeah, probably their most commercial stuff). But the rest was maybe too purely electronic for me, I would only listen once in a while. Now, with this album, it's completly different. I know many fans of their older stuff dislike this album very much, as it sounds more mainstream. I can understand their reaction, but I personally do not think Apoptygma Berzerk…

First review: X&Y, their most recent release. I listen to it a lot these days and well, it's been talked about a lot, indeed…it's Coldplay.

Since this is my first review, let me explain that every review will contain a track by track rating, and then a final rating with some comments, and my top tracks pick from the album, that you might want to try out.

1. Square One 8.5/10

At first, I was unsure about this opening track. It's not a hammer, as Politik was on A Rush Of Blood To The Head. However, after a…

Since I am a huge fan of last.fm (pretty addicted to it), I felt like it was time for me to use this journal feature that's been up for a while. Actually, it seems like some blog to me, and I never really wished I had a blog, I don't feel like thousands of surfers really want to know what's going on with me, just like I really don't care what is going on for them.

But I love reviewing albums, so I decided I would do it here, once a week, or sometimes more, it'll depend how I feel!…
