Song of the Week - July 31

Matt's Song of the Week

My song of the week is "Thinking of You" by Frank Ocean. I chose it because he's an incredibly talented singer first of all and second of all the way he orchestrates his songs is flawless and a breath of fresh air to R&B.

Mike's Song of the Week

I picked "Not Now" by Blink-182. I picked it cause theres open show is this week and this brings back memories of a time bbefore they broke up and now its a start of a new Blink era.

Music Video Review: Yonkers

Probably one of the most graphic music videos of the year, this video somehow, despite being "MTV correct", "Yonkers" managed to earn itself a nomination for "Video of the Year", Now, its graphic at times and very hard to understand, but at the same time, its a visual masterpiece made perfectly for the song. The song itself is Tyler primarily talking to himself with imput from his alter-ego Wolf Haley.

The music video basically contains Tyler eating a bug, throwing up, and hanging himself at the end. Yes, it is disturbing, but considering the musical content the video fits. "Yonkers" is shot in black and white to more or less emphasize the dark and dreary mood of the music. Throughout the music video, it shows Tyler sitting down simply rapping, but his acting to convey the emotions of the music are spot on and you can clearly see the dedication he put into making this video which he directed by himself.


F**K YEAH RATING: 8.5

FIRST REVIEW EVER: Angels & Airwaves - I-Empire

Angels & Airwaves I-Empire Cover art

       In 2007, Angels & Airwaves sophomore album I-Empire came out. This being the second album was more of an extension of a the first album than an individual album; but is that a bad thing? WE DON'T THINK SO.
      This album contains such a unique variety of sounds. A thing that we think sticks out is the intros. The intros to these songs are nothing short of incredible. The instrumental sound of the beginnings of most of these songs immediately bring in the listener and then the other instruments come in and it sounds amazing. Each song brings something different to the table. The lyrics in this album are also a work of art. They're fantastic, not to impossible to understand and they just hit the heart where it counts broski.

Listen to this song from the album:

Only downside is the intros can sometimes be too repetitive and can get boring. Bottom line, check this album out. It sounds great, its mostly chill music, and its relatable. Check this album out or you'll be mauled by a cougar. Comment below and tell us what YOU think.
