Featured Rock Albums
2020
The Strokes
– The New Abnormal
The New Abnormal is dreamy detachment meets existential burnout. These songs drift, shimmer, and ache—less rebellion, more reckoning. Aging cool turned inside out, trading swagger for slow-motion honesty and the strange comfort of not faking it.
2015
Halestorm
– Into the Wild Life
Bold and unhinged, this album ditches predictability for raw risk. Vocals roar, structures bend, and every track swings with guts. Not every shot hits, but the chaos feels alive—sweaty, messy, and unwilling to play it safe.
2000
The Hives
– Veni Vidi Vicious
Veni Vidi Vicious is 28 minutes of pure, high-voltage swagger—no filler, just razor-sharp riffs, pounding drums, and howls built for chaos. The Hives strip rock to its rawest form, inject it with punk energy, and deliver anthems that demand to be played at full blast.
1970
Elton John
– Elton John
Elton John’s self-titled album is a defining moment that captures the early brilliance of one of rock’s greatest songwriters and performers. With its lush, piano-driven arrangements and sweeping orchestral flourishes, the album showcases a maturity and depth that cemented John’s reputation as a powerful musical force.
