Alice in Chains – Your Decision
Jerry Cantrell and the boys are back, a bit older but they still have that edge to them which made them one of the most popular bands of the 90's. In this power ballad AIC sing about the ball being in your court and how deal with that. This solid song is one that could rank high on AIC resume and I truly believe this could be the sound of future ballads this decade.
Muse – Resistance
America welcome to the Muse craze which has been sweeping the planet for years. This song has that epic riding a horse in the dessert feel, but at the same time is a romeo and Juliet story. Its about to lovers who cant be together for some reason or another. Muse tunes into their inner queen with the backup vocals. The song rock as does the band …. Welcome to the States!
Weezer – I'm Your Daddy
The second single off of Raditude is a poppy rocking party song about a cool chick that can just might be able to get. Weezer has a way of singing for the geek but being cool and not as annoying as say a Fall out Boy(who broke up BTW). Weezer's heart of the sleeve shine in this with lines like:
I would like to give a demonstration
Of what it is I do
I'll take you out to dinner at Palermo's
We'll split a cheese fondu
True fact about this song Rivers wrote these lines
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
after his daughter was born early and they had to keep her in the incubator for much longer than most new borns.
How does Rivers write such a meaning full line then turn it into a goofy pop song.... the answer. That's Weezer for you.
