NMC #32 (WITHIN TEMPTATION/THE PRETTY RECKLESS)

by "let's show the ladies some love" Jon

Within Temptation-The Unforgiving (March 2011)

1. Faster

2. Fire And Ice

3. Iron

4. Sinead

5. Lost

Female lead European symphonic metal band. This is their fifth studio album and it really grows on you after a few listens. It's a concept album and, with the deluxe version, you can see what some of the songs are about by watching the included DVD. I really like "Sinead" for some reason it has an (get ready to cringe) Abba-vibe but it's much darker than that. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean (hint Niels!).

The Pretty Reckless-Light Me Up (April 2011)

1. My Medicine

2. Light Me Up

3. Zombie

4. Goin' Down

5. You

This album actually came out last year overseas and the US had to wait. What we've got here is a hard rock band, fronted by 17 year old Cindy Who. Great voice and I was stoked to hear this album after first seeing a video that I forced Niels to post. Good album, track #1 has a Led Zep vibe going on and track #5 is just a nice little ballad (the only one on the album). And to believe she could have been Hannah Montana....

You can take a listen HERE (since I haven't mastered the "click on the album cover" thingy).

I don't throw them around lightly. They can be very dangerous to those around me.

Jon, to link the album cover, when you choose your album cover from your computer files, it says "link" toward the bottom, just put the player page address right there. That's it.
