Oven Fresh New Music Tuesday (7/14/09)

Welcome everyone to a new addition of Oven Fresh music. This week i'm looking forward to yet another single from Skillet called "Monster". Along with the release of Daughtry's second album. So let's get to it.


Albums:

Owl City - Ocean Eyes - This is the first album I'm recommending this week. This is kind of a stretch for me normally but i'm finding myself liking a lot of this album. Some songs sound way too electronic for me to like but songs like "Vanilla Twilight" and "The Bird and the Worm" are really catchy. The Bird and the Worm reminds me of a Relient K song. Not a hard rock band or anything but a pretty good album nonetheless.

Adelitas Way - Adelitas Way - I'm not in love with this band but it is pure solid modern rock. It reminds me a lot of Hinder. It's one of those albums that isn't going to wow you and it definately isn't anything you've never heard before. I really like the ballad "Last Stand" and other good songs include "Scream", "Invincible", "Hate Love", and "Dirty Little Thing". This band has a lot of potential in my eyes.

Surrogate - Popular Mechanics - This is a very alternative band. Kind of reminds me of The Secret machines at times. I'm not gonnna recommend this whole album but I figured I would let people know about it cause there are some highlights on it. I personally like the song "Exercise Machines"

Freakshow - Freakshow - Great Great old school hard rock guitar riffs. They sound like a Guns n Roses type of band. I recommend this album for the guitar riffs alone. Check out the song "Everyone"

Luce - Corner of the World - If you are a fan of melodic music, this is a pretty good album from what i've heard. I really like the song "Corner of the World" and the song "My Life Alone"

Daughtry - Leave This Town - When this guy (or band i should say) released their first album I refused to like it because of the fact that he was on American Idol and I really didn't like that at all. But their songs are just way too hard to ignore. Especially when "No Surprise" came out earlier this year and completely blew me away. I 100% recommend this album because very rarely will you ever hear a bad song by this band. I officially stop holding my grudge and bow down to you Mr. Daughtry. Definately check out the song "You Don't Belong"



Singles

69 Eyes - Dead Girls are Easy - I really really can't explain why I like this song. I really don't like the chorus that much. But there is so much power once that guitar kicks in after the chorus. I think you'll be seeing this one on my Hard Rock countdown in the future

Skillet - Monster - Basically if Skillet releases a single or an album, it is going to be on here cause I'll always know it's going to be a good song. Yet again they came out with another great hard rock song here. I don't like it as much as "Hero" but it is still a great song. Wouldn't expect anything less from this band.



So there you have it for this week. All in all I'm pleased with the music that has joined my life. I love Daughtry's new CD and I love Skillet's new single and I discovered a lot of bands that I didn't know before now like 69 Eyes, Freakshow, Adelitas Way, and Owl City. I'm going to enjoy these songs until a whole new batch of great music comes out next week. Keep checking back for me to add my last top songs list and updating all the other ones. Enjoy the music everyone
