Music Review of Modern Guilt by Beck
Modern Guilt dives in with folky opener “Orphans”. It has a distant bass sound in the beginning. Once the guitar enters and Beck voices out, the track just hits the jackpot like that. It produces a country-like atmosphere to it, folk and country rock altogether. Continue reading

The Soloist – Movie Review
I went into this film thinking two things. Either Wright would pull of what I thought to be the impossible, and have the film be somewhat remarkable. Or what I expected to happen, the film would fall flat on most levels and be quite the mess. However, after leaving the screening, I didn’t necessarily receive either of the aforementioned predictions. I was satisfied, that was for sure. Yet the film left me in somewhat of a strange mood. I was not angry, depressed, happy or anything. It was more of a state of suspended emotion, I wasn’t sure what to think. Not that the film had a profound effect on me, there was just one part of it that left me… mesmerized, in awe completely. The scene is one of the most breathtaking and emotionally striking scenes I have seen. There is a moment in the film where Steve (Robert Downey Jr.) takes Nathaniel (Jamie Foxx) to see the London Philharmonic rehearse. Halfway through the scene, Nathaniel closes his eyes and all that we see are these colored ambient patterns moving across the screen to the sound of the music. Continue reading

Music Review of the Red Album by Weezer
Weezer (The Red Album) has a crunchy opening with “Troublemaker”. The opening guitar strumming sounds like “The Good Life” from Pinkerton. Rivers just sings in a fast pace to catch up with the guitar and drum beat. While singing the verse, the bass will come in at certain beats and produces sounds as if the thunder is going to strike. Continue reading
