The Adrian Belew Power Hour #1 Sheik Yerbouti


In order to keep up with the ever-growing field of published music, Riff N' Ralk, Music Tock has expanded to the printed word to review music. Want Alex, Ryan, or Corey to write a lengthy, well-thought-out essay about your favorite albums? Leave a comment below, or write on our Facebook wall and we will give it a fair shot!

By: Alex Gomory




After scrapping a relatively meta review of an album review, I struggled with what I wanted to write next.  I tend to leave most new albums alone in case Ryan and I want to do them for the podcast which leaves me crate digging for older material that I think would be interesting to read about.  That thought in itself is rather pious as I am assuming people need an album review for a 8 year old prog album, a 40 year old disasterpiece or a punk album that just rubbed me the wrong way.  I guess I figure if you really wanted another review of The Knife's Shaking the Habitual you would go to Tiny Mix Tapes and read possibly the worst piece of literature I have read in 2013.  I have just now saved myself the trouble of having to review that piece of garbage album review.  The album itself, check it out if you have 97 minutes to waste and don't mind a lack of succinctness in your music.
