Released in 1995, 100% Fun is the fifth album by Alternative Rock musician Matthew Sweet. Matthew Sweet's guitar-dominated, hook-laden power Pop runs through its 12 songs at a swift pace.
Soul Finger is the debut album of the Bar-Kays, recorded by Tom Dowd and Chris Huston. The instrumental band was tutored by Al Jackson, Jr. and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, which shows in the tightness of the rhythm section.
The American heavy metal band Lamb of God have been blazing mercilessly away at the forefront of heavy music for the last 20 years, upholding metal's intrinsic values of honesty, intensity, and creativity while also daring to push boundaries and think outside the heavy box.
Deface the Music is a concept album by the band Utopia, which pays homage to The Beatles and creates songs that sounded very similar to their tunes throughout the various stages of their career. It delves into Beatlemania without sounding like a direct copy, as the music perfectly fits in the vibe of the '80s. It's a pure homage to The Beatles, clocking in 13 numbers, the same amount of numbers as "A Hard Day's Night”.
This strong psychedelic trip record clearly shows how great Peter Green was at the time. The End of the Game is a hallucinatory mix of jazz, fusion, and blues. The edited pieces of a long jam session are experimental and all instrumentals. Peter Green's wah-wah Gibson guitar is incredibly expressive as is his band.
4 All the Sistas Around da World is the debut and sole studio album by Sista, best known for its member Missy Elliott. The album received many positive reviews from music critics. It is a superb album, showing how skilled the four were at that time.
