52 Weeks, 52 Albums: May – June
After the initial listen I would go back and listen to one instrument: the bass, the guitar, the drums, or the little sounds in between. Each part will go off and do their own thing or come back together in ways that makes dedicating a listen worthwhile.

REVIEW: Stellaris Shows Promise For The Future
For many people, Paradox Development Studio’s games are that nut that refuses to crack. You can go to Twitch or YouTube and find endless videos of people streaming games like Victoria II or Hearts of Iron III and see people entrenched in these amazing stories of warfare and political intrigue, yet playing the games for […]

REVIEW: X-Men Apocalypse Ends The World Of Good X-Men Movies
To the average movie-gover, X-Men: Apocalypse is probably an okay movie. If you’re the type of person who found the quality between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class indistinguishable, than this is the film for you (especially considering the former made more money than the latter). For anyone who takes a more critical approach […]

REVIEW: Captain America Civil War Ends With Marvel Winning, Their Best Film Yet
Looking at box office numbers, it’d seem like Marvel reigns from the top of the world, breaking their own records every year. Personally I’ve been checked out from the studio’s films since Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s not that I have a specific criticism that can take down the quality of Guardians of Galaxy, or […]

I’m going to hit the keys on this keyboard and ramble out some views on these albums I listened to in the past two months.

It’s 2016, I’m listening to 52 albums in 52 weeks. For more info on what this is about, read this. Why did I pick this album? First let me apologize.I’m sorry I included Death of a Bachelor on this list, which is by every standard an unremarkable album. If you’re someone who is following this […]

52 Weeks, 52 Albums #4: Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star
Unfortunately the Black Star doesn’t shine that bright. At least, for me. The remaining songs couldn’t hold a candle to the impressive first performance. I’d be interested to see how both artists’ careers developed in the future as the whole genre shifted toward more production-focused albums, but for me, this style of rap (or Hip Hop) just isn’t my taste.

52 Weeks, 52 Albums #3: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
I think it’s obvious that music is a lot more diverse today than it’s ever been, and it’s probably moronic to criticize the past for not being as modern as the present, but it’s just as moronic to award the past today by the past’s standards.

Review: It Follows May Be The Last Horror Film
Is there anything scarier than having sex for the first time? The world is filled with fear-mongering messaging of what might happen when you have sex. The devout claim sex before marriage will forever taint your purity, damning you to hell. Social advice says introducing sex too soon into a relationship can irreversibly change the […]

52 Weeks, 52 Albums #2: Give Up
It’s 2016, I’m listening to 52 albums in 52 weeks. For more info on what this is about, read this. Why did I pick this album? Give Up was recommended by one of my Facebook friends when I asked people to suggest albums that “changed their life.” I knew when I asked this question people […]
