Album of the Week — Death Valley High: Doom, in Full Bloom
I discovered Death Valley High via Instagram and decided to feature them in an installment of “5 Bands/Artists You Should Be Following.” As I listened to as many songs as I could find, I fell in love with “Multiply” from Doom, in Full Bloom. And so, here it is, my album of the week.
Let’s Talk Covers (Pt. 37)
1. Godhead: “Eleanor Rigby” (The Beatles cover)
2. Mötley Crüe: “Helter Skelter” (The Beatles cover)
3. HIM: “Enjoy the Silence” (Depeche Mode cover)
Album of the Week: Marilyn Manson’s Eat Me, Drink Me
Despite the fact that Tim Sköld is on this album, Eat Me, Drink Me is one of my less favored Marilyn Manson records. Perhaps it is because Sköld handles bass and guitar, John 5 having made his exit by this point, but I found the album to be lacking musically. That is not to say it’s bad; it just falls short of its predecessors.
Still, it’s Marilyn Manson and has its moments, so I have made Eat Me, Drink Me my album of the week.
