Featured Rock Albums
2013
Alice in Chains
– The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here isn’t built for easy digestion. It’s brooding, slow-moving, and unshakably bitter. Buried in all that grime is a band unafraid to grow old the hard way, to carry their ghosts like medals. If you want to ache a little, Alice in Chains knows exactly how to feed it.
1991
The Smashing Pumpkins
– Gish
Gish is the sound of a band halfway between a garage and a temple. It’s a messy, beautiful storm of ambition and distortion that still hums with strange energy over 30 years later. The Smashing Pumpkins weren’t fully formed yet—but that might be what makes Gish feel so alive.
1982
Roxy Music
– Avalon
Avalon is Roxy Music refined—lush, hypnotic, and effortlessly elegant. Bryan Ferry trades flamboyance for late-night longing, while shimmering guitars and ghostly sax float through a dreamlike haze. A graceful farewell, not just to a band, but to an era.
