Stream of Consciousness & Music Reviews

      ACDC's first international album, being made up of songs from their first 2 albums which were exclusive to Australia. I think it's clear that this album marked the band's path for the rest of their discography. The album has a more blues rock feel than the regular hard rock that the band is known for, with the exception of a few songs, those being the hits. Songs that strayed from the softer blues rock mood, like T.N.T and High Voltage, are more popular and more similar to their later work, drawing the connection between popularity and the band's direction. I think that it was definitely the right move too, as the slower and less excited tracks just don't hit as hard as the songs that have that signature ACDC feel to them. Overall it's a fine experience and I'd recommend it, but it's honestly not their finest work.

      The first EP and latest work by Home, as of the time of writing, and I would say that it's a step up from Falling Into Place. The unique sound from the first two albums are back and they are still good. The songs still experiment with their melodies, which is still a big plus, and has an overall very similar feel to Before the Night. There aren't too many tracks on Hold, and they all sound similar to the tracks on Before the Night, so a lot of what I had to say there also applies here. Other than that though, I really don't have any more to say; it's surprisingly hard to commentate on music without any vocals or theme, even with my small amount of knowledge on music theory.      Highlights: Dusk, Flood, Hold Rating: 4/6
