From the opening riff of the title song on AC/DC’s new album, “Black Ice,” one thing is perfectly clear: the boys are back in town, and, now in their 50s and 60s, they’re still all about the sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. Simply judging from the song titles, in which “rock” gets used four times, it’s clear that Angus, Malcolm, Brian, Cliff, and Phil are out to prove that—33 years...
...track. Dennen is not a wonderful lyricist, his themes aren’t particularly deep, but as a whole, “Hope for the Hopeless” is a pleasant enough diversion. That first track, though, is almost enough to make you give up on the album. The song is called “San Francisco,” and it’s about a guy who leaves a bad relationship for the City by the Bay. From the way he tells it, though, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the girl?...
...pegged as just a folk or country singer-songwriter. But “Little Honey” features a better blend of content than most of her discography, incorporating newfound joyful ideas and less petty subjects.

Right from the start, “Real Love” features with an exciting guitar riff, reminiscent of the good old days of country music. Atypically celebrating the joys of “real love,” Williams excels...
...Skeletal Lamping” is disjointed to the point where even the idea of dividing it into its 15 distinct tracks seems kind of pointless. Within almost every track there are at least two distinct movements, and Barnes unpacks a lot of music in those 15 songs. It’s definitely not sound vomit, but with the exception of several moments of brilliant clarity, most of the album is just a tad too hectic to really serve as anything more than background music.The record kicks off on a great note—despite its cheesy autoharp intro...
...from the current trend flooding YouTube these days. The video is neither overly artsy nor X-rated, but is familiar enough in concept to be just that fresh breath of desert air you need (trust me, all that brown and red grows on you). Essentially, the merit of the song, with its catchy hook and earnest, personable lyrics, is what makes the video work. Seriously. So why shouldn’t these Las Vegas natives cash in on a formula tried and tested by the likes of Coldplay and U2? After all, there’s no place like home...
