When I first heard this track, "A Punk" I thought it was the funnest song to listen to - it's fast paced, upbeat, whimsical.. has warm sounds and fun energy. It's a blast to sing along too!
NOFX has a huge discography.. and if you ask anyone who follows them, one of their most successful and quality albums is 'Punk in Drublic'. 'Linoleum' follows up Vampire Weekend quite nicely.. We are ramping up the bpms to match your heart-beat after the couple of coffee's you've already had!
Gob.. Canada's punk-rock band.. These guys hit the scene hard with their album 'Too Late... No Friends'.. listen to all those shining notes, obnoxious vocals.. You're going to bounce! This song has all the elements of a juvenile Summer!
Originally, this is a Queen song.. So yeah yeah it's a cover. But man it's good. We still have that tempo and now we're distancing ourselves from the punk scene, evolving towards rock/thrash
The introduction to this song is incredible, fast, intenese.. the song is smug.. Those solo's.. woooooo!
Junior Wells, imo is of the elite blues crew.. This track serves to calm us down a bit after that last one.. gotta "Snatch it back, and hold it!"
It's a 'Jock' style rock song now, but I imagine when this came out it was genre defining and most rebellious. To me, this track is the same kind of motivational instruction as the rap we hear today about making 6 figures and having all the success. Only this song is rude, dirty and straight up rock and roll. This is early AC/DC before the band figured out their own commercial formula. We are listening to this song now because we have a lot of work to do here in POA land.. and Hard, Honest work puts us ontop of the clouds, feet stomping to the beat of this song. Rock on dudes!
Turn up the volume.. This is a live recorded track.. IMO this is the best song in all of Anthrax's discography. If we were ontop of the clouds during AC/DC's recommendation, this guy has us speeding mach 10 down towards the earth! That energy is explosive! This is an excellent example of 'good' thrash metal.
Taking a lot of their influence from thrash metal, L.O.G. knows how to carry a hard hitting song. This song is the 15 minute mark into your workout.. You should be sweating by now ;).. This track will help you push through those streneous moments
We still Thrash! This time though, we're telling you a science fiction story - not sure why.. This is the only song on the entire album that does this.. But its HELLA GOOD! If Pale King turned into a book or an animated television series (Think Todd Macfarlane's Spawn, or those dudes who made Heavy Metal) I would guess it would be epic and binje watch it until i die!
And now we take you down from your high octane Monday Journey with an instrumental track from Animals as Leaders. If you liked last weeks recommendation of 'The Human Abstract' you will loooove this track.
