Aiden
genre: post-hardcore/emocore/punk
This is the band whose latest album I decided to postpone downloading due to the lack of a high-quality version. Time has passed, but nothing has changed. I decided to take what's available. Overall, there are almost no differences. Here, the band's genre is not exactly my favorite, but I decided to listen to everything for the sake of one song. I don't know for sure which album is the first, so keep that in mind. The first album, Our Gangs Dark Oath, is quite emo, the second, Nightmare Anatomy, is a little different, with less screaming. I'll note the song Breathless, the chorus in it is good. The third album, Conviction, is significantly softer in sound and therefore I like it, especially since it has a great song Darkness, which is why I downloaded it. The fourth album is called Knives, and it's more in the punk style, in my opinion. I liked the song Scavengers Of The Damned. The fifth album, Disguises, is similar to a mix of the second and fourth. So far, nothing has caught my attention except Die Romantic

that's it, my list is finished.

Forgot to mention one more band.

My Passion
Someone recommended them, saying they're similar to Kill Hannah, but Kill Hannah plays electro-rock, while these guys play rock + electronic music. I don't really like them. They only have one album called Corporate Flesh Party.

Amaury Vassili
French tenor, often described as a classical and opera singer. He has two albums, most of the songs on which are covers, with only a few original compositions. I first heard the song Sognu (in English, it's called I Would Dream About Her), and then decided to listen to the rest. I liked his cover of the U2 song With Or Without You, and among the classics, Vivere and Con te partiro.

I listened to the second album by Basta, titled BastaII. In this album, I didn't find anything particularly noteworthy. In my opinion, the first one was better, but I won't generalize and will analyze each track. 01. I need a beat - a rare piece of garbage; I didn't even understand what he was trying to convey to my brain; overall, it's bad. 02. Forget it - the same as the first track, only I couldn't even finish listening to this one. 03. Our summer - a collaboration with Maxim; I think many of you have heard it, so I won't elaborate. 04. Tea drunkard - I listened to the beginning, skipped to the middle, realized it was garbage, and turned it off. 05. Skit - I don't listen to Basta's skits - these short (under 15 seconds) tracks have no meaning at all; they're not even set to music. 06. Baby boy - another piece of garbage. 07. Skit - again:mad:. 08. War - I liked it; I can't say anything more. 09. Feelings - garbage! 10. Skit - check out the cop's avatar; it shows what my face looks like right now. 11. Inner fighter - lacks meaning. 12. Verochka - :smile18: :smile18: that's what I think about it. 13. Dream - a collaboration with Lesya Verba; also garbage. 14. Give me - :smile18:. 15. My game - I only have two or three of Basta's songs; if there are two, one is a solo track and one is a collaboration with Guf; if there are three, there are two collaborations with Guf and one solo track, but this collaboration is quite good on its own. I'm glad they kept the old chorus and music; overall - :smile54: :smile54:. 16. There is no death - a song about Basta's deceased older brother, if I understood correctly; it's quite pleasant. 17. I need a beat - another "I need a beat"; it's the same garbage as the first one. The conclusion is obvious.

Added after 38 minutes
I listened to the third album by Basta, titled "To You"; it's an album about love. As it turns out, it only has three new tracks; the others are taken from previous albums. More tracks are taken from the first album than from the second (Such a Spring, Mom, You..., In the City, Difficult, Autumn), and from the second (Feelings, Give me, Dream, Our summer). The new ones are: I don't understand, Cinema, Bossanova. I really liked the album; this time, I won't analyze the tracks.

I listened to the entire discography of a Dutch band with a slightly offensive name: H.E.R.R.
Genre: Medieval Neoclassic Industrial, Martial Industrial Dark-Folk, Neo-Folk

2004 - Es Regnet das Leben Heraus.
2004 - The Winter Of Constantinople.
2006 - Vondel's Lucifer - First Movement.
2007 - Fire & Glass - A Norwood Tragedy.
2009 - XII Caesars.

The members of the Dutch-based project H.E.R.R. explain the acronym of the name as: "Heiliger Europa Romisches Reich."
The manifesto of the group calls on Western Europeans, who no longer honor the memory of their ancestors and are squandering their invaluable cultural heritage for American dollars in the global economy market, to turn to history and mythology in order to experience feelings of pride in the past and righteous anger towards the present.

The band is not only brilliant but also unique in its kind. The songs are like a story told with expression, as in a play or theater, accompanied by appropriate music. Listening to pompous poems with music is... just awesome, and I'm not kidding!))))
I especially liked the album Vondel's Lucifer - First Movement. It's a full-fledged theatrical performance with several characters, about the coming of Lucifer.

I selected 20 songs for my collection to listen to regularly. Maximum rating.

YEEEES! Red Hot Chili Peppers have released a new album called I'm With You. Tracks: 1. Monarchy of Roses (the verses have a strange sound, but the chorus is nice. It's a kind of danceable disco-funk). 2. Factory Of Faith (this song is closer to funk. It's average, but it's catchy and sticks in your head). 3. Brendan's Death Song (this is more of a lyrical piece. It starts with a guitar, but other instruments are added throughout the song, and the volume increases). 4. Ethiopia (this song is similar to the second one, but I don't really like the verse). 5. Annie Wants A Baby (a good song. I liked the chorus and the part before it). 6. Look Around (also funky. I don't like the chorus). 7. The Adventures Of Raindance Maggie (I've already heard this one, I've even seen the video. It's a good song with a pleasant chorus). 8. Did I Let You Know (I don't quite understand this song yet). 9. Goodbye Hooray (a slightly crazy song, but that's a plus. And the chorus is great. There's also a bass guitar solo in it). 10. Happiness Loves Company (this song has piano, and that's cool. The song itself is also good). 11. Police Station (calm, melodic, and pleasant. +piano). 12. Even You Brutus? (the piano is really fitting in this song. I like the song itself, it's great). 13. Meet Me At The Corner (the quietest and calmest song. Very beautiful). 14. Dance, Dance, Dance (a mix of dance music (the kind that Brazilians dance to in a line, swaying their hips) and ethereal music. I like it). It's a great album, I liked almost all of it. And the new guitarist is good

Blue October has released a new album, Any Man In America. So far, I like it less than their previous album. Also, the sound quality seems a bit quiet, and the sound is strange in some songs (the departure of the guitarist probably had an effect). I'll have to re-download it. I'll highlight the song The Feel Again; the chorus is just too captivating, and the ending is even more so... in one part, it even makes you want to cry, it's awful. You can feel the vocalist's mood after breaking up with his girlfriend. The Chills (similar to a song from the previous album) and The Getting Over It Part are also good.

I want to introduce you to the Australian duo Angus & Julia Stone, consisting of a brother and sister. Last defines the genre as folk/indie/acoustic, and the description says they play mellow folk-rock with elements of light blues. Their music is actually pleasant and interesting. They have three or four albums. I learned about them through the song Big Jet Plane, which didn't leave me indifferent and prompted me to explore the rest of their work. I haven't listened to much yet, but some songs are already appealing: I'm Not Yours, I'm Yours, Another Day, Just A Boy, Red Berries, Soldier, Take You Away

PS I'm posting the cover of one of their albums.

The new album by the band 311 is called Universal Pulse. It's a bit strange that it only has 8 songs. Although their previous album was released in 2009, so it's okay. They have enough songs as it is. The guys haven't changed their style and continue to play the music they're used to. I'd like to highlight Sunset in July and the ending of And a Ways to Go.

Zebrahead and their new album Get Nice!. I wouldn't say it's very cool (in my opinion), but overall it's decent for their style. I didn't particularly like any of the songs, except for a couple of choruses: Too Bored to Bleed, This Is Gonna Hurt You Way More Than It's Gonna Hurt Me, Truck Stops and Tail Lights

And a new album by 3 Feet Smaller with the same name. The album also doesn't stand out in any particular way. I'll just mention Acclaim & Dance and God Bless Anti-Depressants.

Falling Up also released a new album called Your Sparkling Death Cometh. It's similar to their last one, but the tempo is completely gone, and the songs sound alike. Apparently, the fact that half of the band left has an impact. I don't even know what to highlight; all the songs sound pleasant, but none of them really stand out. Perhaps Oceans and Slow Waves sound more appealing to me.

William Control is a solo project by the vocalist of the band Aiden. Last.fm defines it as: electronic, darkwave, industrial, new wave. Indeed, almost all the songs are electronic. I have similar artists, so I also enjoy this side project. Oh yes, Will has already released two albums: Hate Culture and Noir. Among the electronic songs, I don't know what to highlight yet, but I do like the three acoustic songs London Town, Soliloquy, Can't Help Falling In Love (cover), and the piano song Noir.

King and Jester "Acoustic Album". It's heartfelt, if that word is appropriate here. Picnic "New Egyptian Songs". "Island" and "Violet-Black" are worth listening to, as is "Vague Days".

Calogero - a French artist (according to Last.fm, although I thought it was a group). Tags on Last.fm: rock, pop, French chanson (lol, but yes, their style is quite different, and there's not much of it here). He has five albums: Au Milieu Des Autres, Calogero, calog3ro, Pomme C, L'Embellie.
From the first album, I liked the song Le Secret. From the second, Une Derniere Chance seemed more pleasant. The third album featured the songs Je N'Ai Que Nous A Vivre, Un Jour Parfait, Rare, Fais Comme Tu Veux, and the chorus in Face A La Mer (Duo Avec Passi), because the verses are sung by some rapper. From the fourth, I'll only note Hypocondriaque. And from the fifth, C'Est Dit, J'Attends, Nathan.
This is just after the first listen. Surely, over time, I'll like even more songs, as the music is pleasant.

The new album by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, titled Am I The Enemy, has been released. What can I say? The sound has changed slightly, and so far, I like two songs: Where Are The Heroes and Angels In Disguise.

Also, Aiden has released a new album, Some Kind Of Hate. Many believe that they have started to produce low-quality work. Perhaps that is true, but I find myself listening to them mainly because of the vocals; I really like that voice. As for the album, I only liked There Will Be Blood.
