THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE...Temper, Temper  (2013)
Temper, Temper is the latest album from Bullet For My Valentine and is currently at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard album charts.  This is a in-your-face hardcore heavy metal.  It is loud, it is raunchy, it rocks and I liked it much more than I thought I would.  I'll give it a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars and recommend it.  It's nothing groundbreaking whatsoever, it's just a rockin' album to have a good time to, definitely something for twenty-something year olds.  No tracks really stand to me as highlights, however the most interesting track is their cover of the AC/DC classic "Whole Lotta Rosie".

The ALBUM OF THE DAY
AEROSMITH...Aerosmith (1973)
(CD, Allmusic review)

Another debut, in this case Aerosmith, which hit number 21 on the U.S. Billboard chart. For today I wanted to have a debut by a well known band that I personally had never heard so I started with the A's and I could not believe that the second band I looked at I had never heard their entire debut, and Aerosmith of all bands. I am so familiar with nearly all of their albums but yet this one somehow had escaped me. Imagine my delight as I got to hear some new tracks from Aerosmith that were released 38 years ago. It was a nice listen, I enjoyed it, a lot. Their influences are all over the place on this record: Beatles, Zep, Stones. Of course, we've all heard their classic "Dream On", most of you will know "Mama Kin" (great jam), and I also enjoyed "Walkin' The Dog" (originally by Rufus Thomas). I do have one complaint...the album cover just strikes me wrong, I don't know why, just looks terrible. Other than that I recommend you go to a brick and mortar record store today, buy it, and enjoy
