Lana_Del_Rey-Born_To_Die-CD-FLAC-2012-EMG
Sometimes stars emerge. Sometimes stars are thrust upon us. And sometimes stars simply slip into the atmosphere as if propelled by something otherworldly. It is into this last category that the astonishing presence, voice, look and feel of Lana Del Rey falls. Musical stardom is not an option with Ms Del Rey. It is her vocation. She calls herself the `gangsta Nancy Sinatra’ and defines her genre as `Hollywood pop/ sadcore’, a dramatic new loop for pop music.

Each track feeds off the last in what seems a singular album-long movement that never allows you to rip your ears away. Paralytic Stalks at times resembles modern classical with its intricate compositions, while at others echoes of neo-prog, pseudo-country, and 60s pop. Available on 180-gram vinyl, CD and digital.

H.I.M.-Dark_Light-CD-FLAC-2005-DeVOiD
Dark Light is Finnish rock band HIM’s fifth full length album. This album was released on 26 September 2005 internationally and on 27 September 2005 in the USA with a limited edition pre-release of 20,000 some days before.
The writing of Dark Light was inspired by a Finnish book with the same title and a collection of ancient mythologies and religions (mainly Christianity). Songs including mythological references are “Wings of a Butterfly,” “Venus (In Our Blood),” “Drunk on Shadows,” and “In the Nightside of Eden.” “Wings of a Butterfly” is a reference to a Greek myth in which two souls destroyed something beautiful to live forever, and “Venus (In Our Blood)” has the line “Venus denies your seven towers,” referring to another Greek myth portraying hell as seven towers protruding from dark waters. In the song “In the Nightside of Eden,” there is a line, “we descend to the circle number four,” a reference to The Divine Comedy’s adaptation of hell, an adaptation that many mistake for an actual part of the Bible.
Dark Light was the first Finnish album to sell gold in the United States, meaning it has sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., and 1,500,000 copies worldwide. It was rated #9 in Metal Hammer’s albums of the decade. Several of the songs include easter eggs. In the exclusive bonus track “Venus (In Our Blood),” there is a little girl’s voice speaking at the beginning, and in reverse the little girl says “Where are we going, daddy?” There is backmasked voice at the end of “In the Nightside of Eden” and “Behind the Crimson Door”, continuing their trend, has a whispering voice at the bridge of the song.
The_Roots-Undun-CD-FLAC-2011-PERFECT
2011 release, the first conceptually-based album from The Roots. Undun quickly reaffirms the creativity of the outfit that are notorious for pushing the envelope. The album’s first single is “Make My” featuring Big K.I.R.T. Undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out `on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
Patrick_Stump-Soul_Punk-Deluxe_Edition-CD-FLAC-2011-PERFECT

T-Pain-Revolver-Deluxe_Edition-CD-FLAC-2011-PERFECT
2011 release from the Hip Hop superstar. The follow-up to his 2008 platinum-plus selling album Thr33 Ringz, rEVOLVEr (visually spelled as rEVOLVEr for a reason), demonstrates the evolution of T-Pain as an artist. “rEVOLVEr is drawn from seven albums’ worth of material,” said T-Pain. “There are so many different things on this album. I couldn’t settle on what I wanted to include, but the final result I think will really hit all of my fans and different audiences,” says the singer. “I’ve developed a new audience from the Taylor Swift stuff, the Bud Light and Toshiba commercials, the T-Pain Mic and App. There is music for everyone on this album, but definitely still classic T-Pain at the same time.”

Tommy is the fourth album by English rock band The Who, released by Track Records and Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and Decca Records/MCA in the United States.

Released in 1969, the album was mostly composed by Pete Townshend. In 1998 it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for “historical, artistic and significant value”. It has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
