CD Review #8: "Fall Out Boy: Save Rock and Roll"

CD Review #8: "Fall Out Boy: Save Rock and Roll" (2013)

Many as usual, question why Fall Out Boy did such a different music route? For me, why not?!
Fall Out Boy continues to evolve. Why hinder their growth? No band is the same forever.

I was disappointed in: their 'guest appearances'. Felt too thrown-in and cheesy! Not to mention the guest artists had little to no part of the album! The only exception? Elton John did decent. Not awesome but decent. 

I loved: Their bright alternative rock choruses! They are very apparent in the songs and make you know that it really is Fall Out Boy singing! You may have to listen closely to understand what I mean ;) 

Number of 'F bombs': Quite a few. My guess is around 7. 

It is their: 5th album I believe. 

My rating (Out of 10 stars): 8.75/10 

Compared to other Rock-ish albums, I'd give this one: I'm not sure if I 100% feel the rock genre, but if I had to, 7/10.

Explicit: For some sailor-swearing yes! 

Am I happy this is part of my Collection? Yes!!

Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 8/10

My Ranking: 

1) 'Rat a Tat'------On repeat!! The one that sounds most like Fall Out Boy! 
2) 'The Phoenix'------beat=10/10! 
3) 'My Songs Know what you did in the Dark'------obviously their most popular! 
4) 'Alone Together'
5) 'Save Rock and Roll'
6) 'Young Volcanoes'
7) 'Where did the Party Go'
8) 'The Mighty Fall'
9) 'Just Yesterday' 
10) 'Death Valley' -----Goes downhill from this point! 
11) 'Miss Missing You' 

My Verdict? 

Well, I've been listening to this album, and this album only for the last two days. (Now that I think about it!) I see that as a non-questionable sign! 

Why is Elton John in this Album?! , 

------Temo 


P.S. Can someone explain to me possibly the meaning behind the album cover art or why they could of chosen it? I can't think of why. 

Chapter 11: 'Right now, I'm obsessed with..... #1'

My Current top 10

1) Detroit Metal City anime!

The anime is really not meant for anyone under 17 and for a very good reason.... But if you dig around for it, here I go:
"After graduating high school, Negishi wanted to use his musical talent to start a pop band. Unfortunately, five years have passed, and guess what? He is now in a heavy metal band. Screaming about insane things--as the dark lead singer, Krauser! The series focuses on how difficult to lead his double life, especially after bumping into a high school sweetheart!" 
Hilarious, but cruel anime. ;p 

2) Pinterest!

So much fun!! I am adding so many new boards! I used to think it was stupid to create anything over 30 boards, but what fun is that? You can check my Pinterest and see my changes!

Some of my new boards include 'Rock the Mullet!' (hair), 'Saucy' (dishes + desserts drenched in sauce), 'My Cherry Blossom Girl' (cherries + cherry blossoms!), & 'Dip-Related' (Dipping your food in yummy dips!).

3) Sushi!

Tempura, Rainbow Roll, Dragon roll...... I even heard of some really cute rolls like the unicorn roll and the lion king roll!

4) Back to Harry Potter!

I am back to the books! My friend will be pleased....... The series is so well written. It is also a shock that the books are over 15 years old! Yet there are huge fan bases (still) hmmmmm. ;)

5) Hoping Avril is releasing a WHOLE CD and not just a single!

Secretly, although Katy Perry is good, I wish Avril would no have just 40 million page-views! She deserves it! Punk-rock princess!

6) Pocky!

One day I missed pocky SO, SO much! So far I have bought a box of chocolate....I googled for the recipe for pocky and think I found a reasonable one to try. So please, please work!

7) MLP Cravings!...

I am not sure if any one has noticed, but there are just the most random fan bases in America--across the world! (e.g. mustaches, Princess Bubblegum, Gir, bacon......) I am not considering watching the 'My Little Pony' series, but I love collecting the figurines! 

8) Owl City!

Very unhappy with his latest CD (Midsummer Station), I obviously immediately craved his older works! (First 2 albums) As my research unraveled, I found out the Adam Young's song "Fireflies" became a number one hit in TWENTY SEVEN different countries!!

9) Exercise!

Do something that excites you or find a new sport! 

10) Outer Space!

Always ready to amaze! Some starters? Saturn actually is less dense than water!! (So it would float in our ocean!) If you head to my sites tab at the bottom of my blog, you should find the link to the article I have been reading on black holes. 

I love DMC, Pinterest, Sushi, Harry Potter, Avril, Pocky, MLP, Owl City, Exercise, and Space,

CD review #7: "Foster the People: Torches"

"Foster the People: Torches" (2011) 

Their album cover caught my attention. I really adore the artwork!!! 

Number of 'F bombs': none 

It is their: 1st album. 

My rating (Out of 10 stars): For just the 'strong tracks' in this album, a 8.25/10! For the less desirables, only 1.25/10! 

Compared to other Indie-rock albums, I'd give this one: N/A (I rarely listen to this genre)

Explicit: no. 

Am I happy this is part of my Collection? Sad to say, but no. 

Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 3.25/10

My Ranking:

1) 'Helena Beat'---EXTREMELY STRONG TRACK 

2) 'Miss You' ---EXTREMELY STRONG TRACK

3) 'Waste' ---EXTREMELY STONG TRACK 
4) 'I would do Anything for You'-------- Everything REALLY goes downhill from here!

5) 'Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)'
6) 'Life on the Nickel'

7) 'Pumped-up Kicks'

8) 'Houdini'  

9) 'Call it What you Want'

10) 'Warrant' 

So sorry you guys, buying this CD is a mistake. The songs 'Helena Beat', 'Miss You', and 'Waste' should just be purchased on iTunes--separate from the rest! They really are some of my favorite songs! 

I'd like to hear some input,

CD Review #6: "Carly Rae Jepsen: Kiss"

CD Review #6: Carly Rae Jepsen "Kiss" (2012)

I was not aware that there was a deluxe version of this album. I always regret not going that route! It's packed with 4 more songs. I have no clue what they are. The electronic beats in this album reminds me of sprinkles being poured at like a bake fest at a sleepover or something! I can totally imagine little teens listening to this CD at a sleepover, but I am no kid at any sleepover and I still love it! 

Number of 'F bombs': She doesn't cuss! Omg! ;p 

It is her: 1st album. 

My rating (Out of 10 stars): 7

Compared to the other Pop-genre CDs, I'd give this one: 3.75/5 stars!

Explicit: No way! Her songs are pure light and pure of heart! I heard h*** though like 2 times.

Am I happy this is part of my Collection?: Yes

Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 6.25/10

My ranking: 

1) "Tiny Little Bows" -----I love her reference to 'the tiny little bows'! 

2) "More than a Memory" 

3) "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" -----Electronic beat kicks ***! 

4) "Good Time" 

5) "This Kiss"

6) "Hurt So Good"

7) "Beautiful"   ----This is not a pop song, but more of an acoustic song! 

8) "Guitar String/Wedding Ring" -----I felt the album start to lag right here. 

9) "Curiosity" 

10) "Turn me up" 

11) "Your Heart is a Muscle" 

12) "Call Me Maybe" -----may be her hit single, but I'm so sick of hearing it! 

Oh! & I couldn't resist! Isn't her album art JUST ADORABLE!?

Now I just want sugar cookies....with sprinkles,

Newsflash! My Instincts Weren't Wrong!

A few weeks ago, my Avril senses were tingling. I suddenly started to wonder when the heck she was going to come out with a new album. 
She is!!!
And her new single is coming out soon.
Better be good Avril! (Cuz it will be) 

Avril Lavigne fan sin. 2002 :p ,

"Ride on Shooting Star" (The Pillows)

This music video really cracks me up! The music is awesome though! If the video really does bug you, you totally should listen to just the song. "The Pillows" created the music for the anime "Fooly Cooly" (フリクリ). 
A lot of people like this song. 

And so do I,

"If Only She Knew" (Michelle Branch) 

"I don't know whose side I'm takin'
But I'm not takin' things too well
I can see inside you're achin'
But is it still too early for me to tell?

I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa, if only she knew, oh

I try to let it go
But I don't know if I can take it
'Cause the way you looked at me
Made me see that I can't really fake it

I try to help you out through
The hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa

I know she loves you and I can't interfere
So I'll just have to sit back and watch my world disappear
Whoa

I try to help you out through
The hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
Oh, I'm still not over you

'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
Whoa
'Cause I will never ever walk away
I'll find a way
She could never love you like I do
If only she knew

If only she knew, oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na."

One of my fav songs,

CD Review #5: "Ke$ha: Animal"

"Ke$ha: Animal" (2010) 

A swear that Ke$ha was a curse word when she first made her debut on the radio. My father nearly choked when he heard the lyrics to "TIK Tok". Do I agree? Disagree? Well, the first sign Ke$ha is a 'curse word'? Hint: the song titles below. I mean look at it! BUT I just adore the sound and beats of her songs. I find them irresistible. The 'Sleeping with every guy' songs-NO. The music-yes! Who knows? Maybe Ke$ha is going through a phase. 

Number of 'F bombs': I'll go check. 

It is her...... 1st album. 

My rating (Out of 10 stars): 7

Compared to the other Dance/Pop CDs, I'd give this one: 4.25/5 stars!

Explicit: Ya although it does not label it as so. I wouldn't let any preteen touch it! 

Am I happy this is part of my Collection?: Yes :) These are her classics. 

Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 8.25/10

1) "Animal" (original Version)--total fav! makes me happy every single time I listen to it!!!!!!!!  

2) "Your Love is my Drug"---great way to start-off the CD ;) 

3) "Take it Off"

4) "Kiss N Tell"

5) "TIK Tok"--was on the radio all the time!  

6) "Blah Blah Blah"

7) "Party at a Rich Dude's House"---title is SO stupid. But fun song. 

8) "Hungover"

9) "Blind" 

10) "Dancing with Tears in my Eyes" 

11) "Boots and Boys"---STARTS to go downhill from here. 

12) "Dinosaur" 

13) "Backstabber" 

14) "Stephen" 

"Animal" by Ke$ha :)

Ke$ha-cussing,

Okay so you know how I bagged on Fall out boy in one of my CD reviews? Well I am sorry about that. They're back again!!! I believe this is a single but after listening to this, I REALLY hope they come out with another album! 
I mean just listen to it!

CD review #4: 'Simple Plan: Get your Heart on!'

"Simple Plan: Get Your Heart On" 

Number of 'F bombs': I believe none.

It is their....I believe their 5th album? 

My rating (Out of 10 stars): 6

Compared to other Alternative-rock CDs, I'd give this one: 2.75/5 stars!

Explicit?: I do not believe so. 

Am I happy this is part of my Collection? Sorta. It might be out in a few years.

Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 6/10

Okay, so right now I am re-listening to this album, ready to rank. Here is my conclusion....

My ranking:

1) 'This Song Saved my Life'--this song sounded the most like the Simple Plan I know! 

2) 'You Suck at Love'

3) 'Gone too Soon' 

4) 'Anywhere Else but Here' 

5) 'Astronaut' 

6) 'Freaking Me Out'

7) 'Loser of the Year' 

8) 'Can't Keep my Hands off you'--You would be likely to stop listening after this point.

9) 'Jet Lag' 

10) 'Summer Paradise'

11) 'Last One Standing' 

But what really got me was the lead singer's lyrics to his song "This Song Saved my Life"! I will never get tired of it. This is a must-agree. Look it up!  

Lyrics to "This Song Saved my Life" (Simple Plan):

I wanna start letting you know this
Because of you my life has a purpose
You helped me be who I am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
Trapped in a world where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

Sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
You always know how to make me feel better
Because of you my dad and me are so much closer
Than we used to be
You're my escape when I'm stuck
In this small town
I turn you up
Whenever I feel down
You let me know like no one else
That it's ok be myself

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

You'll never know
What it means to me
That I'm not alone
That I'll never have to be

I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This song saved my life
I was bleeding
Stopped believing
Could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
But it came on just in time
This song saved my life

My life
My life
(This song saved my life)

My life
My life
(This song saved my life)

My life
My life
(This song saved my life)

My life
My life
This song saved my life.

But it came on just in time-this song saved my life,

Oasis - Some Might Say

I LOVE this song!!!! I love 90's rock so much, but if you listen through a whole 90's CD, it sounds like all the tracks can be meshed into one song! You wouldn't be able to tell the difference!! Not with Oasis. LOVE THEM!!!!

Sorry for my little 90's fangirl-sim....,
