Wow!! Some huge releases today! I can’t wait to get into some of these. I hope there is something for you as well. Sixx:A.M., Metallica, Bruno and Miranda are doing it for me today. Here is to some great listening pleasure. My favorites are highlighted in Blue.
- Sixx:A.M. – Prayers for the Blessed Vol. 2 – (Eleven Seven Music): Volume 1 was released earlier this year and was OUTSTANDING!!! I have extreme high hopes for this one as well and since they have never diappointed, I expect to be blown away…AGAIN!! Could they end up with 2 albums in my Top 10 albums of the year…wait and see.
- Metallica – Hardwired…To Self-Destruct – (Blackened Recordings): Metallica is back heavier and louder than ever. I was a little disappointed in their last release so I am hoping they return with some of their old magic. If the song, “Hardwired” is any indication, we might just see some more greatness.
- Bruno Mars – 24K Magic – (Atlantic): To change things up completely from the first two on the list, we have Bruno. Pure Pop Pleasure! I have been enjoying the first single, “24K Magic”, and can’t wait to hear the rest.
- Miranda Lambert – The Weight of These Wings – (Vanner Records): Miranda Lambert is the best thing to hit Country Music in who knows how long. She is the whole package – beauty, voice and a rebel. Every album brings us more brilliance and I can never get enough.
- Phil Campbell & the Bastard Sons – Phil Campbell & the Bastard Sons E.P. – (UDR Gmbh): I love the song “Big Mouth”, it is right up my alley. Phil Campbell from Motorhead is back with a band that consists of 3 of his sons and vocalist Neil Starr. It is only an E.P., but hope it turns into a full album.

I started with Sixx AM and will listen to Metallica on drive home from work.

I’d argue Uptown Funk was one of the better crafted singles in recent memory – I’d be interested to hear what a full Bruno Mars album would sound like

I am as well. I really enjoy the high energy sound and the brass. Should be interesting.

Too bad I’m skint right now, I’ll pick up the ‘tallica LP in a week or so – I was a fan of Death Magnetic though. Out of all of these though the Nathaniel Rateliff one is the one I’m most excited about – great band.

That seems to be the consensus from everyone that has commented. I have listened to half of it already and it is awesome.

Uninterrupted time??? I don’t know what that is 😀

Having two small kids here (and a house to run, and jobs to work), I know very well that uninterrupted time doesn’t happen often. But it’s possible!
The secret is simple: wait til the kids are in bed, and the lovely wife is doing something that interests her. Then make a preemptive bathroom break, set yourself up with a few pints beside the stereo, drop on the good headphones and don’t move til you’ve heard every last note. Granted, these circumstances don’t all align very often, but when they do? Perfection. Metallica deserves nothing less. \m/ 🙂 \m/

Interested in the Metallica album… not sure the interface will result in an immediate purchase, but I’ll likely check it out at least.
