Album Review: Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy

Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy. Released April 16, 2013

This is Fall Out Boy's first album since Folie A Deux was released in 2008. In my opinion, they've come back better than ever. As much as I've always adored Fall Out Boy, there's never been an album of theirs where I really like every single song. Well, this is the exception.

My favorite song on the album is probably "Young Volcanoes" (you can watch the music video here). I love the vibe of the song, as well as how prominently Patrick's vocals are highlighted. I'm glad this song made it on the album, I heard that it almost wasn't included.

I really like the new sound they have on this album. It's a much more pop/dance vibe then they have had in the past, but it works. They also toted out the guest performers on this album, including Courtney Love, Elton John, Foxes, and Big Sean.

It's definitely an album for summer. It's one of those 'roll-down-the-windows-and-crank-it-up' kind of albums. I can't wait until it's warm enough here to do this. :)

Highlights: "Young Volcanoes," "The Phoenix," and "Where Did The Party Go"

Album Review: Glee The Music, Volume 6

This is the 6th Glee soundtrack that has been released. It includes 18 songs from episodes 17-22 of season 2.

How much do I love when Jonathan Groff and Lea Michelle sing together? Hearing them sing together just brings me right back to Spring Awakening. They still have such amazing chemistry every time they sing together.

How is it that "For Good" didn't make the cut for this album? I do think that it should have been included instead of "Bella Notte." I don't hate "Bella Notte," but I do not think that it needed to be included on the soundtrack.

The original songs were pretty decent. I don't love the song that Charice (Vocal Adrenaline) sings, "As Long As Your There," but the New Directions songs were very good. I can't stop hitting the repeat button for the "Pretending" duet

I am missing a few other songs, namely "Back to Black," "All By Myself," and "Jar of Hearts," but I guess they can't include everything.

Highlights: "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty," "Rolling In The Deep," "Pretending," "Pure Imagination"
