It's the end!

Since this semester is about to end, I decide to introduce more bands and albums to you! Hope you can listen to them during the winter break ^_^

First, I’d like to talk about Simple Plan, which is quite well-known in Taiwan. They’re known for their lyrics which catch what you thought. Maybe you’ve heard of them, touched by their famous songs, “Perfect” and “Welcome to my life.” You cannot miss their "best" album (in my opinion anyway), “Get Your Heart On!”

One song from this album

Second, I must mention the band, Fall Out Boy. Did you remember we’ve listened to “Beat it” from Michael Jackson? Well, I have a special version made by Fall Out Boy. They made this classic song into a rock song. Check it out! By the way, you don’t want to miss their best album, “Believers Never Die.”

One song from this album

Last, I’d like to recommend “Sum 41”! You might know the gossip that the vocal from Sum 41 is Avril Lavigne’s ex-husband, but it means nothing compared with their best album, “Underclass Hero.” There are many great songs in this album. My favorite one is “ Speak of The Devil.”

There are so many things I want to share with you, but it’ll take you lots of time to read this article. So that’s it! Wish you a wonderful vacation~

Muse

Today I’ll talk about the most gifted band in history! Muse, consisting of three men whose peerless talents charm lots of music lovers, has received countless awards and proved to be a milestone in rock music history.

If you’re a twilight fan, I bet you have already heard their music, as its author was captivated by their music so you can find many songs of them recorded in twilight movies. If you haven’t got a good opportunity to appreciate them, now there is a chance!

They have released so many albums so I recommend you to listen to recording of their concert. 

While watching their concert, you can easily find their extraordinary ability in playing music instruments. I was amazed by their music creation and outstanding playing skills. What’s more, it’s said that every album they released has a political message although it’s hard for me to understand the message.

Different from pop rock, their music is more exquisite. They made music for people who love music itself, so they add classic music or other styles of music into their songs to make their songs more splendid. Check them out and you'll be amazed!

Mcfly

Hey guys! This time I’ll talk about a band from England, Mcfly. Well, Mcfly, formed in 2004, consists of 4 young people. Because of their energetic images and extremely handsome appearances, Mcfly rose to fame right after they released their first album. They occupied the pop-rock market and grabbed lots of teenagers’ hearts. You might say the fame of a pop-rock band won’t last long, as many bands are easily forgotten by the public nowadays. However, Mcfly is one of the exceptions!

Even though their playing skills are not better than other bands, their songs will never bore the listeners. They have the ability to impress the audiences over and over again. Though they make pop music, which is considered as disdain of rock by its lovers, Mcfly still amazes me, making me addicted to their music.

This month, they release their greatest hits, Memory Lane. You can discover their talents in every single song. Hope you Enjoy^___<

This is my favorite song of all.
Their Live performance is also extremely remarkable!

30 Seconds To Mars

Hey, this time I want to write about the sexiest and the most handsome lead singer in the world! I still remembered that I fell in love with him immediately when I first saw him on Youtube. He, Jared Leto, is the lead singer from 30 Seconds To Mars.

Before 30 Seconds To Mars was formed, Jared Leto was a model and an actor. Maybe you have never seen him in movies since he’s not famous enough to be the main actor, but you must see him in 30 Seconds To Mars. Once a person finds something he’s good at, he will become more confident and charming. This is what I see from Jared Leto’s face when he performs.

When I listen to their music for the first time, I was stunned by the hard effort they took when recording the album. Their songs are like movies, which are telling stories with music in a dramatic way. This is hard for me to get my ideas across to you, so my advice is listening to it, and you'll find my meaning.

This is my favorite song from their best album, This Is War. The reason why I pick it is that every time I listen to it, I’ll find my courage to face the future.

NeverShoutNever!

This time, I want to introduce my favorite singer called “Never Shout Never”.

The name "Never Shout Never" originally referred exclusively to a young man, Christofer Drew Ingle. After he made his name on the Internet, he started to tour with other bands and released three albums and lots of extended plays.

Never Shout Never is quite special in my playlist since I usually don’t listen to this kind of music which is known as Indie Pop. Still, I can be more at peace with myself by listening to them.

As their faithful fan, I recommend this album, “What is Love?” 

When listening to their music, you will start to ask yourself lots of questions just like them, and in the end, you’ll figure the answers out. Always look on the Bright side, which is what Never Shout Never want to tell us through their music.

And this is my favorite song, “Look on the Brightside”.

“You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be, and you’re only as small as the world will make you seem.” ------from the lyric, “Look on the Brightside”.

Here is his live performance.

All Time Low

This time, I present All Time Low, the best and the craziest band ever.

Different from other bands formed before it, "All Time Low" was quite young when it made its name. Formed in high school in 2003, All Time Low had their first record deal and released their first EP. They’re four teenagers playing music without worrying about whether they would be accepted by the audiences or not. Maybe it’s because I had my own band in high school, I was moved by the courage that they had to make their dreams come true.

Nothing Personal is considered to be their best album so far. For me, it’s the best album ever. You can say that they’re just young people who are not mature enough to be the best. However, as a teenager like them, they sang exactly what I want to say.

Now I want to introduce my favorite song in this album.

Here is the link.

Last, if you're interested in them, you must watch their live performances. I haven't found any other new band which can play so well like them.

Here is the link of their live show

And here is the link of their unplugged show

My Chemical Romance

In my first post, I want to introduce the first band leading me into the world of rock music to you guys.

When I was a sophomore in high school, my classmate lent me a CD called The Black Parade from My Chemical Romance. This band is much more famous in Taiwan than any other band that I am about to introduce to you. Maybe you have heard them before but didn’t have a chance to listen to them. I recommend you this album, The Black Parade.

For me, this is the finest album without any flaws. If you’re interested in music and rock music may not be too loud to bother you, this album is going to be a masterpiece for you. It talks about a cancer patient who is about to die. As he looked back through his life, he saw lots of regrets. When you’re listening to them, don’t forget to search the lyrics. You’ll find lots of meanings that My Chemical Romance want you to know.

Considering the songs which are too loud might not be your cup of tea, Disenchanted is more suitable for the people listening to this kind of music for the first time.

Here is the link to the song.
