Dodo's Album Reviews

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be ranking my personal top 10 favourite Depresión Sonora songs. I don't have anything else to say, apart from the fact that Depresión Sonora only has 10 songs, so I'm basically ranking his entire discography. 10)  Hay Que Abandonar Este Lugar: This is my least favourite  Depresión Sonora track, but that's not to say that it's bad, but it just feels like a not so good version of the song that was before it on the album, that being  Mira Mis Ojos. 9) La Casa de Arbol: This track just felt boring, and even the vocals are great, the guitar pull down the song. 8)  Tu No Me Tienes Que Salvar: Once again, this track just felt a bit boring and didn't do much for me. 7)  Generación Perdida, Diversión Prohibida: This song has a more melancholic feel to it and feels a bit nostalgic for some reason. I love the synths and guitar in this track.   6)  Dime Que Me Odias: Now we've gotten into the truly a...

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Depresión Sonora's second album, Historias Tristes Para Dormir Bien. I really don't have anything else to say, so let's just jump in. The first song we have is Apocalipsis Virtual. It a great   beginning to this record. It has a catchy melody and an overall great vibe. Sorry for not having too much say about these tracks, but Depresión Sonora's songs are rather simple, and that's their charm. Next we have Generación Perdida, Diversión Prohibida is a much more melancholic track compared to Apocalipsis Virtual. Still, it has a really nice, and soothing guitar lead. La Casa del Arbol was a rather forgetable track, in my opinion. The melodies didn't do much for me. In comparison, Gasolina y Mechero is a short, but upbeat track with a great guitar lead and a generally nice vibe. And finally, we have Tu No Me Tienes Que Salvar. This track was a bit slower and was quite as memorable as the other track...

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Queen's third album, Sheer Heart Attack. Their previous album, Queen II  was a great step-up from their first album , in my opinion. So will this growth continue with this album? Absolutely! The first song on this album is none other than the legendary, Brighton Rock. This song starts with some playful vocals from Freddie, with a tension filled guitar in the background building up to something. And that something is the legendary 3 minute guitar solo, that Brian May absolutely killed. Next we have the calmer Killer Queen, but this song is still an absolute bop. The guitar on this song is stellar and the vocal performance Freddie puts on this song is just great. Tenement Funster was pretty mediocre. First of all, I didn't feature any Freddie, and neither was the guitar anything special. Wasn't very memorable. Moving on, we have the epic Flick of The Wrist. With a super catchy melody, great hook and epic guit...

 Welcome back to my blog! With the intention of spicing things up a bit during the reviewing of long discographies, such as those from Queen and Pink Floyd, I will be reviewing artists with shorter discographies. And this artist right her, has only 2 albums. Oh, well. So, who is this guy? Depresión Sonora is a Spanish artist who does makes post punk music, similiar to Molchat Doma and The End of Electronics . Only this time, it's   g r o o v y . Whilst Molchat Doma has cool, synthwave inspired tracks, Depresión Sonora has straight up vibe tracks. Anyway, I've talked to much, let's get into the review. The first track we have is Hasta Que Llegue la Muerte. Even though this track has a rather dark meaning, it has some energetic drums and really catchy guitar and hook. An amazing start to the album. Next we have Mira Mis Ojos, featuring a darker vibe, similiar to something from Этажи . The slow beat, darker guitar melodies and deeper vocals, remind me of Molchat ...

 Greetings, my friends. I welcome you back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Pink Floyd's third album and first without founding member, Syd Barrett, Ummagumma. For those wondering what the name means, it's supposedly Cambridge slang for s3x, most commonly used by a friend of Pink Floyd, Iain Moore. That's odd, given the contents of the album. Let's see what those contents are... Now, the first 4 tracks of the record are live performances, 3 of which being songs from the previous two albums, as such I will not be discussing them. However, the other track is a new one, that would only be heard during live concerts. Careful With That Axe Eugene has a slow, calming start, that is broken around the three minute mark, by some almost demonic sounding screeches, combined with a great guitar solo. This energetic motif would go one until around the six minute mark, where the calmer melody returns, and would continue until the rest of the song. A great track overall. Next, w...

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. How are you all doing? Today, I will be reviewing Queen's second album, the ingeniously titled, Queen II. I don't really have anything else to say, so... let's just crack on. Starting off the album, we have Procession, which is just a short guitar solo. Pretty neat. Then the fun really starts with Father To Son. It features a powerful guitar driven melody, with pounding drums, mixed with Freddie's vocals, give off an almost monumental feel, as if this the point in the adventure where really gets on to it. The majority of White Queen was a more vocal driven song, with some guitar sprinkled in. And then, the last minute is a more rock song. This song didn't really leave an impression on me though. Some Day One Day started off quiet, with mostly just hi-hats mixed with some vocals. Slowly, the guitar brought in, however it didn't stay for long, as the song was coming to a close. The Loser In The End was a slow rock song. No...

 Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today, I will start reviewing the legendary discography of Queen. No introduction needed here, we all know who Queen is. Let's get straight into their self entitled first album. Starting off, we have Keep Yourself Alive, a decent rock 'n' roll sounding song. The guitar was great, but the drums felt very empty, and was one of the main reasons this track isn't so good. Doing Alright started off with a calm melody, reminiscent of Pink Floyd 's later work, more abstract in nature. However, around the 2 minute mark, the track suddenly shifts to another rock 'n' roll-esc song, and then back to a calm section. This song, while a bit odd in nature, was a great song actually. Moving on, we have Great King Rat, with a highly energetic feel to it, Brian May's guitar work, being absolutely stunning on this track. My man just goes bonkers. Then, around the middle of the track, it switches to a calmer section, then back to a high ene...
