Playstation Move Sucks!

As what can be easily called a "playstation fanboy" I should be all up for anything Sony releases, and be all like *GASM IMA BUY DAT*, well upon release of Play Station Move, I was...well I was like *GASM IMA BUY DAT*. Fast forward to my most recent visit to Best Buy, where I saw the PS3 had Move, I was like OH YEAH, so I get the move controller in my hand and start playing!!! It was awful...the movement wasn't 1:1 like the Kinect and the controller didn't even work as good as the Wii's. I even had the guy at best buy show me how to do a full recalibration...and the stupid thing still was god awful. Just stay away from the Move if you own a PS3 and buy a Wii!

Thank You, Happy Birthday (Cage The Elephant Album Review)

Cage The Elephant is one of my favorite bands to come out in the last 5 years, I praised their first album for reviving alternative rock, and the songs "Back Against the Wall", "In One Ear", and "Ain't Know Rest For The Wicked" are great tracks! Fast forward to now, and I have had a week to absorb their sophomore attempt; Thank You, Happy Birthday.

Like its predecessor the lyrics on this album are very metaphorical in some spots hiding great symbolism other times they can be blunt and brash. This fluctuation keeps this album from being to shallow as well as staying coherent. The lyrical theme of Thank You, Happy Birthday is that of...well there is none really, you have songs about drugs, booze, women, and fame.

Now what I am about to talk about, is what every reviewer has talked about, but just like Stan Lee said about comic book; Every review of an album is someones first review they've read about the album. This entire album sounds like The Pixies, which is not a bad thing at all. I am one of the biggest Pixies fans ever, and I am disappointed at the fact that they haven't released a new record since reforming a few years ago. So for me this album feels like a pixies record, the distortion distortion in the guitar , the wailing vocals, the hidden themes within the lyrics of what seems to be very shallow pop songs. Its all here, but beyond that not every song sounds like Pixies, "Always Something", "Indy Kidz", "Rubber Ball" and "Flow" sound like they could have been a songs off the first Cage The Elephant album, which is good! I do wish that this release would have been more like the Self Title, but instead I get a good record that sounds like the Pixies, so that is a positive.

Overall, Thank You, Happy Birthday was generally fun to listen to, you could hear songs were written to be fun to mosh to, which for those who don't know CAGE THE ELEPHANT HAS THE BEST LIVE SHOW EVER... the lyrics are strong. Though I do wish they would have made the record sound more like their own as opposed to a pixies tribute band, I recommended this to everyone it's a fantastic alt rock album that gives me hope for popular rock music. I give Thank You, Happy Birthday a 4 out of 5

I will leave you with the Unofficial Video released by the band for "Shake Me Down"
