Hello music lovers of the amazing land of porn and funny cat videos known as the Internet . It is I your resident handsome nerd Malik Frierson here to review for you the latest album by Papa Roach titled "F.E.A.R." Let me start by saying I loved this album. It was filled with good songs. The first song actually explains the the acronym title of the song. The "F.E.A.R" actually stands for "Face Everything And Rise" quite the opposite of the pants pissing fear you all know. A couple of the songs have a theme about self destruction and self loathing with in their lyrics. While others have themes of redemption and betterment of one's situations. This creates a perfect balance for the album. Papa Roach continues to expertly mix elements of rap with elements of hard rock. This is evident particularly in the song "Gravity" which is perhaps my favorite song on the album not just because it features the talented, and amazingly beautiful Maria Brink ,but because of it's amazing use of the instruments while Jacoby and Maria sing together. Jacoby Shaddix and Maria Brink are a match made in rock heaven.
If you love Papa Roach, if you love Maria Brink, if you love rock music go listen to this album you will not regret it. Why are you still reading this? Go and listen to this album now! Untill next time music lovers
Hello music lovers. Today I'd like to give recognition to an Internet band known as TeamHeadKick. Let me just say The music made by this group is made by gamers for gamers. If you consider your self a hardcore gamer then this band is for you, if not move along. TeamHeadKick makes rock, rap hybrid songs. They are extremely creative with there use of lyrics.TeamHeadKick's songs are based on popular video games. Call Of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Borderlands. TeamHeadKick is also creative with their album titles. My favorite would have to be "Pwn Star"
If you love video games, and raunchy lyrics then TeamHeadKick is the band for you. Examples of great THK songs would be "Drop The Base" "Lag City" and "Make You Bleed." Creative use of words, music based on gaming and awesome use of instruments give TeamHeadKick the well deserved spotlight. This has been your handsome nerd Thank you for reading.

Malik:Greetings music lovers from across the web it is I, your resident handsome nerd Malik Frierson. Me and cowriter Tamira Thomas. We will discuss the video of one of my favorite songs from my favorite band of all time it's "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace.
Tamira: Let me start off by saying that surprisingly, I enjoyed the song.
Malik: Glad to hear. So what were your thoughts of the video while you were watching it?
Tamira: Well, honestly I think the video was poorly edited because quick cuts different things that were going on in the video (and there was a lot going on in the video). But I got the message. But maybe you can explain it anyway.
Malik:Well ok then. The video sends a message about not giving up. It's about persevering and staying strong through some really dark times. I really appreciate the message and it gives the song a special place in my heart because I love the song and I have kind of a personal connection to the song.
Tamira: True, true, true. I respect it. Though it's rare in the music I listen to, I do like videos and the song the selves that display a DIRECT message that uplifts and encourages people. And also though I may not feel (emotionally) the song as much as you....I do get it. And I appreciate music like this.
Malik: Well put. Now what did you think of the song it self?
Tamira: I liked it. I can't really compare it to one of my favorite rock songs (because I don't have one) but I did enjoy it. I see why you consider them one of your favorite bands.
Malik: Well I think that wraps up our discussion. This has been another great collaboration between your resident handsome nerd Malik, and the mistress of melodies Tamira. Until next time music lovers.
Tamira: Let me first say that I love this song so when I heard that there was a video, I got totally excited. And it was one of my favorite song from last year. This video is very special in its simplicity.
Malik: Let me say second I know very little about Gambino. He played Spider-Man in that one cartoon so he's ok in my book. On to more current matters this video was sure something.
Tamira: To me, this video was so raw and unexpected, being that at the end, you would think that Gambino was going to "get the girl". Malik, what do you think about that aspect of the video?
Malik: It was a very oh what's the word....Understandable aspect. I appreciate its simplicity. I've seen to many music videos with overly complex and full of non sense.
Tamira: Yeah, that's the thing I love about CG. He's so diverse and unpredictable with music and videos. And let me be honest, since this video has came out (which was only 3 days ago), I have watched it about 30 times. It is very intriguing. I loved the way he dances and how this video connects to his last two videos.
Malik: Yea I compared this to the other video you had me watch and I ended up hurting my head. He's really creative with his videos. I feel he realizes some fans want simplicity while others want complexity.
Tamira: You hurt your head? Lol ok. Well how do you feel about the song? I think it's different from a lot music from his past but yet it's one of my favorite song from him. I know you're a rocker so don't be too harsh...be honest.
Malik: It's ok just not my cup of inebriation inducing drink. I don't hate it. I'm apathetic towards it. When I listen to it I think it's alright just not something I would have on repeat on my phone.
Tamira: Understandable. Welp. My overall interpretation of the video is that Gambino (who is an immortal alien monstar dude) tries to make everyone around (mortals) as happy as possible even if it's giving them the littlest joy because in reality, he lives forever while everyone else's lives are short. So it's a lonely life for him and also maybe throughout the video he was fighting whatever is inside him and it seems like it won as he goes back to the same seat just waiting and looking as gloomy as before. And to point out the clock staying at 9:30, that symbolizes that time means nothing to him....Just a great video.
Malik: Yeah I just thought he was trying to pick up a hot lady. But yours sound better.
Tamira: Maybe I just think deeply. Lol.
Be sure to check out the video and thanks for reading!
