Rock Review's A Coming!

Now I don't listen to all that much rock anymore. I was a big rock/alternative guy in the 90's and in many ways that is still where my heart is. I read an article once that said whatever you listening to is your late teens early 20's is going to be your favorite type of music your whole life. Now I'm into mostly deathcore, metalcore, really heavy shit. But you put on a Nirvana disc, or something from Pearl Jam and I'm in heaven. But with that said; since those bands are so dear to my heart most rock music now sucks. Just the way I look at it folks. In many ways I think that music in general is in a sad state. You can't turn on a radio right now without hearing some whore singing about sex. I'm sure they are nice people, but they don't have anything to say. And the old adage is "sex sells". Well now that's all that is selling. Everyone wants something on that they can grind on each other to at the club. Not that there's anything too wrong with a little "Bump & Grind". But pop music is shit right now.
There are 3 rock albums that came out recently and 2 of the bands I have enjoyed previous selections by.

- Pop Evil - Had a decent album called Lipstick on the mirror come out in 2008. There is a song called "Hero" that I really liked. It was the lead off on the album and had some success on the radio I believe. These guys are posted under Post-grunge on wikipedia. With all the sub-genres now a days it's a little crazy. It's rock music.

- Red - They are an American Christian rock band that have had a couple discs come out. I had never heard of them until this was passed on to me. And before we get into things further: I don't care what religion you are, music is music. I'm not a big fan of the "Christian Rock" label that a lot of bands come out under. Who cares your beliefs. It's rock music.

- 3 Doors Down - These dudes have sold over 16 million albums world wide and tour like mad men. Everyone knows who they are from songs like Kryptonite, Be Like That, and Here Without You, Here Without You being one of my personal favs. They have a new disc out and it's chalk filled with rock music.

So I have spent the last couple days listening to nothing but rock and seeing what I like and don't. Until today I stumbled onto the new All Shall Perish disc... and have since had to change my pants, pretty much with each track. So bring on the reviews!!
