The Rising
#brucespringsteen #theboss #brucespringsteenandtheestreetband #therising #y2krock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Sometime after 9/11, just another guy on the street notices The Boss, pulls over, rolls down his window and says, "Bruce ... we need you." Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band came together and released The Rising on July 20, 2002. Instead of the political stuff, Bruce deals with personal loss, community and resilience.

Korn III: Remember Who You Are
#korn #kornIII #nugrunge #numetal #y2krock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky July 13, 2010 ~ Korn is back. Korn III: Remember Who You Are is more than the name of their album. It brought back Ross Robinson to produce and banned Pro tools and recorded everything directly on tape. They wanted to capture their raw, unpolished, agressive energy of their first, early 90's albums and they succeeded.

Hail to The Thief
#radiohead #hailtothethief #y2krock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #alternativerock #indierock Radiohead release their sixth on June 1, 2003. It's smack dab in the middle of their electronic and the alt-guitar stuff to come. But the aggressive, chaotic eclectic mix tape of a gem sits just right. It's written during the post 9/11 build-up to the "war on terror" and is dripping with dread and corporate skepticism. The title of the album alone…
