Recent Review Favorites

Here are my favorite tracks from the albums I’ve reviewed over the past week on this website. The artists are in the order I reviewed them, with the songs in my order of preference.

  1. Drunkdriver – “The Accident” & “Network”

    I absolutely loved this album, so instead of trying to figure out which tracks I liked better than others, I’ll list the entire track list. All I can say is, from the opening blast of feedback to the closing fading noise, it’s a chilling trip down Misery Lane.

  2. Drunkdriver – “Choking Hazard” & “Haunting”

  3. Drunkdriver – “Half Mist” & “Quality of My Life”

  4. Drunkdriver – “Prison Logic” & Bad Year

  5. Drunkdriver – “All the Dead Dogs”

  6. Phantom Glue – “Ross the Boss”

    The opening track on Phantom Glue’s eponymous debut really sums up the Karp/*Electric Wizard* synthesis that dominates the album.

  7. Phantom Glue – “Black Tar”

    Big Business does stoner rock?

  8. Phantom Glue – “Pilgrim”

    A rollicking sludge-fest.

  9. Phantom Glue – “Scabman”

    The album’s closing track is a slithering Black Sabbath-style dirge.

  10. Phantom Glue – “Gog and Magog”

    A filthy, grinding aural attack.
