Duff McKagan's Loaded
The former bassist of legendary rock bands Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver puts away his bass for the second time during the hiatus of Velvet Revolver and picks up the guitar and mic to rock out old school style. I won't blame you if you haven't heard of this band because they're on an independent label and that means a lot less exposure. Nevertheless, Duff proves once again how important his songwriting role was in Guns.
Drama y Luz
Maná
The latin rock band from Mexico took a while to release their follow up to "Amar es Combatir," still, They've managed to please their loyal fan base with songs written by drummer Alex that sound like their earlier punk songs. This album will probably appeal more to an adult audience than previous one due to the soft and easy listening nature of the record. Don't be fooled by the lack of constant distorted guitars; Singer Fher's voice is a sight for sore eyes. Now translate that metaphor in order to fit with ears. The album has aso done exceptionally well, landing a number two spot in the Billboard 200.
Wasting Light
Foo Fighters
As I mentioned yesterday, this is probably the best album of 2011. The emotions translate almost too easily through the screeching voice and guitars of Dave Grohl. This is the album that is going to kick the Foo Fighters to super stardom. Dave Grohl will finally get the credit he deserves for his long career as one of the most creative musicians.
