Part Strikingly of Awesome

Brad Adams and Friends

Walking Giants is a song that I fear to misjudge. I fear that if I don’t say the right things that I could end up in my grave. So I enjoyed this song very much as a little pee comes out. Brad the music was rockin. I really like brake down that lead back to the main guitar between the lyrics. The lyrics that Brandon wrote with the excitation of the voice made for a great over all song. I liked the change in the voice from a deep growl to the higher screech, “This is where.” It sounds like that was done with out an over lay but I'm not an expert just a listener.

I'm Going Home is a cool blend of music styles. Brad another good heavy riffing with a dramatic 3^rd verse breakdown/ change-up. It's chugs along like a locomotive, strong, solid, and leveling anything in it's path. Cassie did a great job on the lyrics and with singing them. I really enjoy her affliction and the tone of her vocal performance. I really like the high note on the last line of each chorus, it just grabs ya. T Clax very good rap. I enjoy it. I feel like that's a poor evaluation, “Hey, T CLAX that was a good rap!” Does that make up for it, Maybe. I guess I could say that my favorite part of the rap was, “Bro check my posts I ain't posing got loads of info for your knowing, Ahh man I long to see the gates.” Over all these were two fun songs, I hope that they were as fun to make as they were fun to listen too. I guess I will mention the silence. It doesn't matter too much to me because you did per-warn us with a blog, So All Is Forgiven.

DEFEKTIV – Nu State of Mind

Flock defiantly takes me to a good place. You nailed the sound of Nu-Metal with this one. I cant put into word how much fun I have rocking this at work. I don't know how you know DMX, but that is awesome. I really enjoyed the bridge, it probably my favorite part, “It's all about me, Na na na na nah.” Hurricane could be better. Just kidding this is a very cool song. You must know what your doing because the verses have very cool effects in them. The way the chorus is teased then builds up to it  grabbed me. The way you did the breakdown, … Awesome. My favorite part of it is that little aliens sound right before the chorus kicks in. Did I say, Cool because I meant too. Explode is a gritty song to count too. It has a whole bunch of reminders of other elements but they all feed off each other and build them shoot away. Some times I cant tell if the lyrics were “ 3.. 2.. 1.” or “Afraid to Run” but that just made me listen to the song a few more times. I still can't tell. Decomposed is a heavy riff ride. The lead in of the sound clip puts me in a good mind state. I enjoyed the fast lyrics and the pulsing music. The chorus is very good, I like telling my coworkers to “Take a look between you legs.” Its a good way to get their attention and challenge their masculinity at the same time. Bent has is my favorite of all of them. It got a great sound and the lyrics are very catchy. They paint a vivid picture in my mind. There is something spell-binding about the mystic of a Bionic Woman. They way they can reprogram your heart, lead you down dark paths, and give you multiple viruses without a care. Behind is the revenge I will have on my Cyborg lover. Chase her down some shady terminals with an ax. Chop her to bits and watch as the sparks fly. This song has an awesome sound. The way the per-chorus has so much going on with its strangle inviting vibe. The crazy placement of the melodic background vocal with the heavy growl over it. There is only one thing that this album did that I wish it hadn't. And that is End, I could have enjoyed a handful more song very good stuff.

Merkelig Batteri - Blod I Himmelen

This is a very heavy journey back in time by the means of heavy riffs. On to the New World place you at the paddles of the massive long boats. The sound is epic and very scoping. The lyrics lead the third eye to see all the pain and torment that this great tribe has brought to make this new world it's own. Cross the Rainbow is a sweet revelry in the treats of war. This journey is only one that can be made by those whose have split the blood of many men in glorious battle. The guitar has awesome attack and the blending of the soulful vocals behind it is awesome. The verse lyrics have a great sound its such a blending of so many voices it's undefinable. The riffs work together good with the smooth runs between them leading to the final lyrics is very striking. Jeg ønsker å dø nå is exactly that. Know entering the valley of the leaders and forefathers seeking there guidance for the next great move. Very cool song, I don’t know what it means but I don’t need to. The structure is very good it leads me to believe that the leaders have spoken of some great battle that will take many life but one that must be fought. O Great One begins the struggle to lead your solders on a death march. Knowing that this is something that must be done and what you have been doing your whole life. The riffing is very good in this part. I really like the way the riffs just start to build on top of itself after the last of the vocals. In the Name of the Northland is like the final battle that for the New World. The sky blazes with the flames as they reach higher and higher as the swords cut through flesh and bone. The guitars have such awesome attach here. Its like the blood pumping through my veins as the song steps up tempo. Its cool how the lyrics are brought back from the first song. Just to remind us who has to die. The intensity is picked up. There is some great tone and blend of bells with each stroke to the end of the song it adds, dare I say, awesome depth to the song. Valkyrie is like the tell of that lone victor marching home carrying the weight of all his fallen brothers. This is a good way to end an album. This is my favorite song there is something that grabs me with verses. The riffs under and over it are great and heavy with that cool breakdown and sole after the 2^nd verse. Very cool. This is an awesome release. The album art is very fitting, it has all the element from the songs. I like the promo art as well. Right now I don't want to order one but it is good to know that it is made my IKEA.

Reviews Forthcoming

OK, I know I said this like 3 weeks ago, but I have a lot of driving to do tomorrow and plan on listening to as much of the RTIX music as I come, and I WILL be writing reviews soon!

Part Breath-Taking of Awesome

Para Siempre and his Brother-

To begin with but I really enjoyed this album. Cordoba is a groove track. The chorus is very catchy expectancy with the piano in the background. I like the tie in of a needle hitting vinyl and continuing in the tracks thru there forth. Para Siempre and his brother is as groove with a different turn. My favorite lines are: A twist on your arm, But don't be alarmed.

Right all the time grabs you with that fun bass line and the guitar chords. I agree with the words of this song, you cant be right all the time. I fell like this song begins a theme for the next two songs. Town good piano driven song. I would like to know what the answer is. Did they end up moving closer to town? Plus how close is this town to begin with? Was it 1 mile or 50 miles? Does the town have a bad crime rate? Just things to think about when your deciding. Where would you go has become my favorite song. It's like watching an old movie. It also pushes for an answer to the last question about moving closer to town. Where would you go without me if you don't move with me. Over all I am very glad that I had the chance to listen and enjoy these songs. I'm not sure how you can combine all these cool sounds, I'm glad you can.

Cover art - I like the choice of the black letters and the font is not to bold. What beach is this? I have enjoyed many sunrises and sunsets but I have never seen it without the Sun. If I had waterproof headphones, the trans that your songs put on me could make me swim out to the horizon and fall off the edge. A judgmental note- sounds maybe everywhere but not everyone can hear them. I luckily can hear them but like I said just a judgment thrown in for fun.

Jake Pearson - Pearson

Calluses feels like a psychedelic melody story. The way it builds leads you forth into yourself. I feel like this the isolation that leads to Sanity which is describes Damn it. It like you just walked into a mental ward which is holding it talent show. The layering of the lyrics add to it creepy appeal. I like the sound effect at the beginning. I could wait is a trippy adventure which leads to the Representation of where the narrator sees himself. I like the blinding of the Sci-Fi guitars and the roomy vocals. Favorite lines: Eccentricity my Feeble self control. Shimmer is a cool acoustic song. I cant tell if its one guitar or multiple all the way thru but it doesn't matter because its cool. I like the way the chorus clear up or change style that gives me the real sense of self discovery. This also leads to the Recollection of himself to see what is at the heart of this madness. I enjoyed the songs and the ride that took me to you.

Groove Suit- Smoke & Mirrors

Start Stop very groovy. The guitar sets a grate tone with the middle section is very cool. I like the smooth rap over the top. It was sinister and subliminal it soaked its way into my mind. I keep trying to get those diamonds but my shine is just not right. When I'm with you began like an old school song groovy and soulful. This the song for getting ready for the club. Jump out the shower, wipe off the mirror, and grab my beer take a sip to get me a needed twist. Strut over to the closet pull out that Groove suit. You know the one its the one the makes the ladies stop and start droolin'. Slow burn grabs you right off the bat. The rhythm that makes the feet take control. Walk into the club and grab that cute chick with curly hair and grin slowly. Making heads turn and it all goes slow-mo. What it do is a good closer song. Its like last call has been called it's now time to seal the deal. I hope that one of this girls cant resist this White Smoothie Groove Suit.

I definitely enjoyed these songs and the street cred that goes with it. I like the way you talked at the pictures and frames in Start Stop it link me to your cover art.

Pigeon - With The Tides

Intro (The Sea) is a cool ride. Groovy and draws me into the world of your sound. I like the crazy guitar sound in the background. Was it a guitar? Yeah I think it was unless you used a recording waves crashing on a beach and reversed then modulated them. Maybe. Where are we? Great question. I think you are in my computer and also in my stereo at work. I like the brake down. I like the sound of the drums. They also gives a good feel to your sound or world. Who will can is a cool vocal song. Great blending. The subtle changes in the lines with that crazy guitar sounds closing it off and blending into the Grey Skies. My favorite line is: Honey my limbs are shaking. I get this cool visual image or is it just cold in my house well I'm writing this. There I turned up the heat, so it is the words and that visual image. The band sound good I would see this live. Interracial Couples I believe in them. I was waiting on the lyrics to tell me about it. Maybe give me some dirty detail. I have never enjoyed one myself but I though long and hard about it well I listened to this song. Cool and groovy. With the Tides is a spectroscope song. There is something to be said about songs that let the words drift in and out a persons head. With nothing but a guitar to guide them visually. I don’t believe in reincarnation but I can say if I do come back I hope that it is not as a piece of drift wood. Thanks for the cool tunes to let my mind wounder around a bit of your musical world.

Kris Eckman - Brain Glass

Broken Glass is good and heavy. Heavy on my soul. No, I would not like to see an angel if that when they would truly appear. They can keep to there miracles and stay invisible. Epidemically if this song begins playing as: a hole is ripped open in the clouds. Dozens of Angel come raining down on a city. Flapping there wings giant and white. In there large flawless fist are huge spears. There I stand in the midst of a large crowd pouring more and more into the streets. Some of the ones, I will call, Believers, standing with there arms spread wide in a Jesus Christ Pose. Close there eyes as the flock of Angels fill the sky.And in a moment of shock and aah, the Angels swoop in. Their spears that pierce though the bodies of the believers. Hosting them high and into the blue sky.

This is when Free Will kicks in. Terror rips throw the crowds of people running in all directions. The angels begin dropping the bodies from the sky. Crashing to the pavement with splashes of blood, bone, and limbs shooting everywhere. I am running with the crowds of panicked people. Fighting with no mercy to anyone who falls. Dodging chunks of human body parts. I push down an elderly lady for a doorway. I slam the door shut as another person tries to pull it open from the outside. My self preservation has taken over. I yell that they must find there own place to hide. Through a small window on the door I see the face of a frighten younger lady. Her voice is crying in terror and agony to let them in. Mid sentence they are speared by an passing Angel. The little window is splattered with her blood.

Brain Glass begins. The torment of screams from the outside and my inner cry for answers. I find the courage to open the door and face my own mortality. To pay for my sins or not to. That is the question. Weather it is noble to stand upon with blood soaked Earth and answer for my action. An Angel comes to a stop in front of me. I feel every hair on my body stand on end. The sweet smell of Downy Fresh laundry feels my nose. The Angel speaks but I can understand. Then a sudden rush of pain expounds in my head and I fall to the ground. I cover my ears with my hands but the pain continues. I open my eyes and look at my hands to see blood. My ears are bleeding. My hands search the ground and I grab a hold a chunky of bone. Its a rib bone and I stab the Angel in the chest and I am blown backward by the scream he admits.

This is when Marietta begins. Not waiting another minute for the Angel to grab me I am running. Running and running. A dark shadow covers me and my path. I take one close look above and I see it is Angel's they blanketing sky. This inner voice takes over in my head and I am filled with love and sweet euphoria. The Angels begin to encircle me forming a large circle around me. I feel nothing but good intentions. The Angel began to flap there wings hundreds of them in one sensitized movement. Lifting me off the ground like I was in the middle of a tornado. I begin to laugh so hard, I cry. I must be 50 stories off the ground when they wind stops. I'm falling in slow motion. My life flashes before my eyes. I feel my last tears run out my eyes and roll off my cheeks as I hit the ground.

I'm not to sure what else to say about you song but I definitely enjoy them. Thanks for introducing me to Record Time! This is Awesome.
