• Avicii 'Stories' Album Review: Junk Mail

    Avicii expanded his musical palate on Stories. He helped change the pop conscious in 2013 by fusing EDM and country (though Rednex "Cotton Eye Joe" was a pioneer). Now he continues that trend with tracks like "City Lights" and "Broken Arrows," but also builds on that with more hip-hop, reggae and disco influenced songs. There are definite future hits in here that will join "Waiting For Love" on the radio, but as an album it can get a little messy and was slightly top-heavy.

  • Fetty Wap Debut Album Review: Junk Mail

    Fetty Wap is a proven hitmaker, but it seems as though he kept it in his comfort zone for his debut album. If you've heard him on the radio at all (and you have), then you've basically heard all of this album. Wap needs to prove that he can break outside of that box if he wants to maintain relevancy a la the rap greats. Otherwise, he'll be the next to check into the "Holidae Inn" in the sky.

    Major Lazer have unveiled the music video for their track "Too Original" featuring Elliphant and Jovi Rockwell taken from the group's June album Peace Is The Mission. "Too Original" was one of the first songs to be unveiled in the promo for the album after the massive success the group had with "Lean On" that still remains a popular radio and online hit.

  • Junk Mail: The Libertines 'Anthems for Doomed Youth' Album Review

    The Libertines brought that familiar blend in to Anthems for Doomed Youth, doing what they did best just doing it 11 years later. This album felt like magnificent continuity in to what Up the Bracket and The Libertines established all those years ago. While age may have not been the best remedy for Barat and Doherty's vocals, their chemistry is still palpable and just there's nothing better out there. Will this be remembered as a classic like The Libertines? Probably not. But we're damn lucky to have this album.
