Quick Update

Hi guys,
It's me Tate and I need to say something very quickly. There will be no reviews this week and possibly even next week. This is because of me and Jordan being super busy on a couple of things such as the two projects for this blog that we will be doing before the end of the year. We wish we had enough time to post reviews but we end up screwing up our routines so we forget what albums we are meant to review hence why my review is late and other things that are very late(Gorillaz-D-Sides). But hopefully we will get our stuff together and finally make our reviews on time. Another thing we will have to mix our film reviews blog with our TV show reviews blog because if we tried to run 3 blogs at once we would probably die of heart failure due to stress. Last and probably least we will only have 1 movie review a month and a TV show review once every two weeks. This will be starting next year.
Anyway, hope you people have a lovely Christmas or if don't celebrate it well just have a nice 2 weeks.
Happy Holidays.

Pink Floyd-The Wall CD 1 Review.

Pink Floyd-The Wall.

Artist:Pink Floyd.

Genre:Rock

Released:November 30,1979.

Fav Tracks:In The Flesh?, Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, Is There Anybody Out There?, Nobody Home, Vera, Comfortably Numb, One Of My Turns.

Least Fav Tracks:In The Flesh,

Review:

Pink Floyd The Wall is an album about abandonment and isolation and tells the story of Pink a character created by Syd Barrett(the founder of Pink Floyd) and Roger Waters(Singer and Bass player). Pink has a terrible life due to his father dying in World War 2 explained by the sound of bombs dropping and then a baby crying at the end of the 1st track of cd 1, In The Flesh?, and his mother who is smothering him and that is only scrapping the surface of the depressing things that have happened to Pink. This album was split up into two CDs so that's what I'm gonna be doing for this review.

CD-1 review.

The first track In The Flesh? is my personal favourite track on the album because of the calm opening which suddenly changes moods. The song has an amazing riff and a slow yet satisfying production for a rock album. The song randomly changes moods but it is so fluent that it doesn't really bother me.

The next track, The Thin Ice which is an allegory to the saying "Your skating on thin ice" which means that you better not do anything that is bad because if you do your gonna go right through the ice. This is heavily applied to the song.The song is ok but I feel as though it lacks character and so it isn't really that memorable. The production is good, the riff is better then okay but not quite good and the vocals like in every track of the album are really a love/hate relationship. They are good for most people but bad for others and please keep that in mind for the rest of my cd 1 review because it's the case with all the songs on cd 1.

Another Brick In The Wall Part 1 gives off a creepy atmosphere whilst also setting up the riff for Another Brick In The Wall Part 2. 

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives is an introduction track to Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 and was surprisingly good, even for an introduction track. It sets up the production very well whilst also enhancing the riff that was set up in Another Brick In The Wall Part 1. Also might I just add that the transition from this song to Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 is so phenomenal that you don't even notice that the song has changed until you look at what track you're on. Overall very good.

Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 is one of Pink Floyd's most well known songs and was my favourite song of all time for a couple of months. The production and riffs give off a creepy atmosphere whilst also being a very enjoyable piece of music. The vocals are great and overall this song is probably Pink Floyd at their best. The song tells an amazing story about kids in school after the events of WW2.

Mother, oh my god. This song was depressing as hell. The song had a pretty basic riff and an enjoyable production but where the song excels is in it's storytelling and vocals. The story is all about Pink's mother and for most of the song it is, no joke, just Pink asking questions to his mother. But when the chorus starts to play you will get a chill down your spine. Roger Waters singing in this song is almost enough to bring you to tears. It feels as though he has been through some tough and scarring things with his mother. Overall a very depressing song.

Goodbye Blue Sky is a song about WW2 and how it affected innocent people. It has amazing singing and it gives off a creepy yet also happy vibe. The guitar in this song is pretty much what makes it happy. The lyrics are really creepy as well.

Empty Spaces starts of slow and gets progressively faster but by the end of the song it's still pretty slow. It's also an introduction track to Young Lust.

Young Lust starts off strong and stays that way with a great riff, good production, good vocals and a good keyboard accompaniment. The song tells of how Pink wants a fun women in his life. The transition from this song to the next is probably the worst in the whole entire album.

One Of My Turns tells us of Pink's descent into craziness. He causes his girlfriend to run away from him in horror. The first time I heard this song, I did not expect such an emotional ending. The production is good and so is the riffs. Overall this song was a trip into madness.

Just so you know the next two songs are about Pink going crazy and then finally deciding to kill himself in the final song.

Don't leave me now is probably my least favourite song on the album due to there not being a good flow or production for the first three quarters of the song. This song has two meanings. The fact that he doesn't want his girlfriend to leave him and that he is also starting to realise that he is crazy.

Another Brick In The Wall Part 3 is all about him being crazy and supposedly "not needing anything at all"yet he really does. It has a good production and a good riff.

The last track of CD 1, Goodbye Cruel World, is all about how Pink is going to kill himself. No seriously, that is the whole concept of the song and really the song kinda sucks. It's very powerful and was a satisfying ending to the first half of the album but it lacks a good riff or production. In fact I don't even think the production in this song can even be counted as a production.

Overall the first half of the album was very enjoyable and really deserves a listen. The review of the next half of the album will be out by the end of the year so please don't be coming back to the blog next week expecting it to be out. Also please check out Those Guys Who Review Films for more reviews of your favourite movies.

Lil Wayne - Sorry For The Wait 2

Lil Wayne - Sorry For The Wait 2

Genre: Hip Hop

Released: 20 January 2015

Fav tracks: Dreams And Nightmares, Alphabet

Least fav tracks: Hollyweezy, You Guessed It, Shit, Coco, Try Me, Drunk In Love,

Review: 'Sorry For The Wait 2' is a mixtape released by American rapper Lil Wayne. This mixtape is a followup to 'Sorry For The Wait' and is an apology for the delay of Tha Carter 5 which was delayed because of label problems with Birdman. 'Coco'. What  did i just listen to. The autotune somehow makes his voice worst. And worst of all this isn't even his own production, in fact most of these songs aren't. He just took them from popular songs. 'Shit' is Shit. He's so offkey that it hurts. This is worse than the original. He can't even keep a steady flow on this song. By the way, “My Choppa go doom da da. Di da di da da” is the worst lyric i've ever heard. Worse than most ICP lyrics. Although having the best production of all the songs before it 'Trap House's lyrics are absolutely horrendous. However his flow saves the track.

For me 'Selsun Blue' is so bad that it's good. the production is pretty good but the lyrics are absolutely terrible but they're actually really funny. "Got the Yay locked down like Kim K". 'Used To' has great production with a hard hitting bass and some funny lines "Suck a nigga dick for a iPhone 6, Fuck my nigga Terry for a new Blackberry." On 'No Type' Lil Wayne sounds like he was making up things while rapping. The instrumental is borrowed from 'No Type' by Rae Sremmurd. "But when I met codeine it was love at first Sprite." 'Fingers Hurting's production is actually pretty and original. His lines aren't perfect but on one part he starts speed rapping which was pretty interesting. 'Hot Nigga' actually has Lil Wayne 'rapping'. He's saying funny lines and he's keeping a steady flow. "Yea, I'm consuming grass like a cash cow". 'Hollyweezy' is the most painfully long and boring songs i've ever listened to. The first two verses are super short and are both abruptly interrupted with the chorus but after that the chorus never comes back and the song just gets excruciatingly boring. The production for this song is just generic trap, nothing new. It's messy and lazy. I refuse to listen to this song ever again. This song is five minutes of trash. 'Drunk In Love' has the worst chorus on this whole mixtape and is a poor excuse for Wayne to lazily talk about sex. It's not even sensual it's just lazy. Christina Milian is singing lazily over the chorus and the third verse. 

In 'You Guessed It' he rarely actually rhymes and his voice is insufferable especially on this song. The original song by OG Maco already had lazy production which sounds like it took two minutes to make but with Wayne over it, it just sounds terrible. 'Try Me' is just lazy and boring. 'Preach' has some catchy production and some funny lines from 2 Chainz. It has nothing great but nothing bad either. If i have to say anything about 'Alphabet' I would definetely say it's very clever. In this song he uses the alphabet to describe some girls he knows. The song is interesting and has some dreamy production taken from the song 'Tuesday' by iLoveMakonnen. I would say that unlike other songs on this mixtape this version is much better than the original. 'No Haters' isn't annoying enough to be unlistenable. The instrumental is generic trap with some weird synths, but not weird in a good way. His lines on this song aren't terrible but they aren't good either. "Money and Drugs, I'm talkin Math and Science. I fucked her friend, I don't feel bad about it." 'Admit It' is a song full of sex references which would annoy me but at this point the albums so long and dreadful that i enjoyed the nice change in production. 'Dreams And Nightmares" starts of with a beautiful piano piece with Wayne telling us the truth about him and his friends. He says that the money turned them into killers. But halfway through this song he just goes insane. He sounds energetic and on beat. This song would have fit good into any of Wayne's albums.

This mixtape is a nightmarish mess that i would never recommend to anyone.The lyrical topics can range from sex to murder. This is Wayne at his worst. He sounds whiny, annoying and stupid. If this is what was going to be on 'Tha Carter V' then i'm glad Birdman's delaying it. Wayne honestly just needs to take a break from music for a while because this is just awful.
