| | | First Impressions: Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns |
Admittedly, I was a pretty big fan of Linkin Park's earlier work (Hybrid Theory and Meteora) back in the day. I found Minutes To Midnight to have some plausible tracks, albeit the majority of that record was ultimately forgettable.
Now, they continued in their MTM direction with their latest record, A Thousand Suns. Simply put, the band tries to hard to be epic on this album, and the effort falls short; however, I will give them props for being different with every release, as this record does convey creativity and clearly involved a lot of thinking and work for LP. | | Tags: first impressions, linkin park, a thousand suns |

| | Anberlin |
Wow, this is one band that continue to amaze me. I'll be spending tonight listening to their discography before giving Anberlin's Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place my first listen.
Cannot wait. | | Tags: anberlin, dark is the way light is a place |

| | | | | First Impressions: All That Remains - For We Are Many |
After giving the upcoming All That Remains' record, For We Are Many, a few spins, I've decided that it's basically a continuation of their latest Overcome. ATR continue to blend their metal background and ideals with radio-rock sounding parts on FWAM. At times, it works as a cohesive whole; however, at other points, it appears the band lacks a true identity on the record, for they don't know if they want to return to their metal roots or be a band fit for heavy rock radio.
Record drops October 12. Review should be up around then. | | Tags: first impressions, all that remains, for we are many |

| | | First Impressions: Tides Of Man - Dreamhouse |
Bands such as PMtoday and Tides Of Man are a select few of Rise Record bands that simply are leagues above other bands on the label. While most bands on Rise utilize the sing-scream formula, these two bands are in vain of Circa Survive in the progressive world.
After giving Tides Of Man's upcoming record Dreamhouse a few spins, it's clear they are hands down one of the most talented bands on Rise. This record will please any fan of Circa Survive with the soaring vocals and guitars. Dreamhouse further proves Tides Of Man's ability to stand above all acts on Rise, as it will definitely create a name for them in their genre.
Record drops September 14th. Expect a review around that time. | | Tags: first impressions, tides of man, dreamhouse, rise records |
