 From a thorough listening of Hurley emerges a pleasant, cheeky album, which possesses all the ingredients of the traditional 'Weezer recipe', certainly a breath of fresh air compared to the previous Raditude.

 Ruling Me is a very pleasant and energetic track with power-pop tones, and while Rivers sings about yet another of his problems with women, I have a sudden urge to dash around the city and dance like a fool.

Hurley marks Weezer's eighth album, delivering playful power-pop and refreshing energy after the disappointing Raditude. Tracks like Ruling Me and Trainwrecks showcase the band's classic charm mixed with new vitality. Though not flawless, the album captures Weezer's essence with wit and heart, supported by a memorable cover featuring Jorge Garcia from Lost. Overall, Hurley revitalizes Weezer's sound and spirit. Discover Weezer's playful power-pop charm on Hurley — listen now and experience a fresh take on indie rock!

 The formula has remained unchanged, completely, irreparably.

 Bad Religion teach us that hardcore punk is not just social criticism woven into four chords, but an ethic and humility that is simply human.

Bad Religion's fifteenth album, The Dissent of Man, stays true to the band's classic punk formula with politically charged lyrics and melodic hardcore sound. The band lineup, featuring veteran members and guest guitarist Mike Campbell, delivers powerful yet accessible tracks. While not their very best work, the album offers energy, consistency, and an enduring critique of societal issues. It is a reaffirmation of Bad Religion's authenticity in a music scene full of revivalism. Dive into The Dissent of Man and experience Bad Religion's enduring punk wisdom and raw energy.
