This isn't a review as such, just an update.
There are so many new releases that I haven't played yet, such as, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. There's also a heap of albums that's going unheard. I actually have been listening to one new album release, so not all is lost. To mention the name would be highly inappropriate and near blasphemy, even for this blog. Perhaps you'll know someday, when I 'accidentally' let it slip, ha.
I'm almost certain in the next 3 - 4 days, I will have my hands on a copy of Modern Warfare 2, and maybe even Left 4 Dead 2, we'll see.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3 lately, which sadly, wasn't played much when I bought it last year. I didn't realise how much fun this game is, and how sad an event would be, if it were to happen in real life.
Now I'm off to Meresti Metro Station to deliver a message to Ian, and ask (read: persuade) him to go back to Arefu. Sigh, it's better playing a game late than never.
If you haven't heard a song from Otep beforehand, I suggest you do. Believe me, it's all good stuff.
Their latest album brings them at their best. 'Smash the Control Machine' is definitely a step back to their first album brilliance. Otep Shamaya's vocals can range from Heavenly soft to deep growls. She can completely annihilate your senses with her screams. It's not unusual to hear these variations all in one song.
The track that really stood out for me was 'Sweet Tooth', which has a great atmosphere and would have you replaying the song in no time. Otep plays a very unique sound. I honestly haven't come across a band who is that original and diverse with their music.
Their new single 'Smash the Control Machine' is very political and shows their variety in songs.
If you hear one album this month, make it this one. It really is not an album to be missed.
To sum 'Smash the Control Machine' with one word I would say: Unstoppable.
