Featured Rock Albums
2025
Dream Theater
– Parasomnia
Dream Theater’s Parasomnia dives into the shadows of the mind, blending prog-metal precision with raw emotion. Portnoy’s return fuels a haunting, exhilarating journey through sleep, fear, and illusion—an album both intricate and intensely human.
2020
Stone Temple Pilots
– Perdida
By the time Perdida was released, Stone Temple Pilots were no longer the grunge giants they once were. Featuring new lead singer Jeff Gutt, this album represents a drastic shift for the band. Instead of their hard rock roots, Perdida explores more of a stripped-back, acoustic sound with a mix of folk, country, and even jazz influences.
1973
Iggy and The Stooges
– Raw Power
Raw Power is a ferocious, untamed explosion of rock energy that stands as one of the most influential albums in the history of punk and hard rock. It’s a raw, visceral masterpiece that captures the primal essence of rebellion and chaos, laying the groundwork for countless bands that would follow.
