THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
MUSE...The 2nd Law  (2012)
The 2nd Law was released last year and it reached number 2 on the U.S. Billboard album charts.  This is the 6th album from Muse but is the first one of theirs I've ever listened to.  I have always heard that they were Radiohead clones but I don't hear it on this album.  In fact, they're better than Radiohead.  This was a cool listen and I'll give it a 3 out of 5 stars.  It's different than the albums I usually listen to.  Each track is different sounding than the rest as they incorporate hard rock, funk, soul and lush orchestral sounds into the mix therefore making for an interesting listen.  Highlights are "Follow Me", "Explorers" and "Save Me".  All 3 of those are slow numbers, but were the best.  Recommended

The ALBUM OF THE DAY
ALBERT KING/STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN...In Session (1999)
(CD/DVD, DVD, vinyl, Allmusic review)

Originally recorded in 1983 Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan delivered a most entertaining performance. The recording saw a release in 1999 and is now available in a CD/DVD combo pack, and is currently number 52 on the Billboard U.S. album charts. Note: the vinyl LP only has 4 of the songs on it. I knew that I was going to be impressed with the album before I ever put it on. What I didn't know is HOW impressive it is. I could use all the adjectives: great, outstanding, phenomenal, genius, fantastic, etc., etc. I think it would be best if you checked it out yourself if you're into the blues. The in-between chatter is very interesting to listen to. Vaughan was heavily influenced by Albert and many other blues players, and King was impressed with Stevie Ray. These 2 guys played their hearts out that night, their guitar work is rather impressive and captivating. Recommended, easily!

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum (1968)

Label – Polygram
Producer – Eric Albronda and Abe “Voco” Kosh
Art Direction – Uncredited
Nationality – USA
Running Time – 32:06

Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)

1. Summertime Blues
2. Rock Me Baby
3. Doctor Please
4. Out Of Focus
5. Parchment Farm
6. Second Time Around

Now this is some heavy Rock & roll. When Blue Cheer emerged from San Francisco onto the national rock scene in 1968 with this their debut album, “Vincebus Eruptum”, their claim to fame became being known as the first genuine heavy metal band, but that in itself doesn't quite describe this loud and in your face “assault”. Perhaps it’s best to call them pioneers of heavy metal music. This album is crushingly forceful, and is widely accepted to be their best. To be honest a lot of the records “sounds” reminded me a lot of some of the early Jimi Hendrix records. There is even a much slower take on “Rock Me Baby” that Hendrix performed at Monterey Pop.
For a trio they have a huge sound. Paul Whaley's drumming combined with Dickie Peterson's bass lines laid out a thick rhythm for guitarist Leigh Stephens to lay down his massive noise.
From the opening frantic version of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" (which became a hit single), to the drug lyric influence “Doctor Please”, right down to the final punches of "Parchment Farm" and "Second Time Around," this record is just good rock and roll!! Maybe best described as Bluesey Metal! They definitely opened the door for bands like Led Zeppelin to come roaring through.
As mentioned a cover of “Summertime Blues" peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #3 on the Canadian RPM magazine charts. It was their only such hit. The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 chart.
It is recommended.

I admit, as I have had to several times already reviewing these records, I had never heard of much less heard the 13th Floor Elevators. Believe me, I hadn’t missed anything. A track or two of inventive psychedelic rock is one thing. A whole record that seemed WAY longer than 35 minutes is just way WAY too much!
This was the groups debut. There are just too many twists of the melodies and down right psychobabble lyrics make it sound like these are just acid trips set to music. And you know – that’s probably exactly what they were trying to achieve. The REAL birth of acid rock is in the grooves of this record. It’s just not any good. The mix is bad as well. The Elevators sound like they are at the bottom of a well for the whole album.
Singer Roky Erickson's vocals are strong and mixed up high in the mix, and one wonders what he could do with some real songs of substance instead of these non melodic pointless meanderings.
It is not recommended.
