I have to admit, when I first heard about Pink Floyd having a new album in the works, I had high hopes. But, even though I've been a fan of the band since childhood's end, I had some trepidation about this new release. Primariiy because I feared that it would be nothing more than the Pink Floyd factory grinding out a bunch of unfinished songs that weren't worthy of The Division Bell. As it turns out, my fears were unfounded and I could breathe easy. The Endless River truly belongs in the Pink Floyd Canon and also stands as an excellent coda for the band. It easily invokes the flavors of many of their previous albums. So many of the songs hint at the earlier albums in their catalog that I found myself looking forward to each track, trying to determine which album the song might be a nod too. The album stands well, despite it only having one track with actual lyrics, unlike, say, The Wall. But in all honesty, in the early part of the band's career they frequently wrote songs that were lyric-free. Though any person looking to discover the band should enjoy this album, I suspect the long-time fans will get the most out of it as they nod and smile at the various tracks that deliver echos from the band's past.

I've been following Jackson Brown since he released Hold Out way back in 1980. Naturally I picked up all his previous releases and have continued to buy his albums ever since. With this new release he continues to be relevent and his style is as pleasing as ever. Jackson has always written great songs and I always look forward to his latest album. As is his style, he will usually include songs laden with social commentary and Standing In The Breach is no exception. The title track alone coupled with the cover art speaks volumes. As does the song: Which Side?. Pick it up and give it a listen.

Under the guise of Sixx AM you have Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue fame exploring different avenues in the musical realm. As with their previouse releases, the songs are strong and filled with interesting lyrics. These are songs with more depth than his work with the Crue. The style is different as well, so if you're expecting a Crue soundalike album here, you'd do better listening to Vince Neil's first solo album. That said, I like the work he's doing with these guys and will continue to listen to Sixx AM.
