2007 Modern Rock Archive

Amy Winehouse - Rehab - A
The best song off of her new album, "Rehab" is a fun R&B song with a top-notch beat.

Guster - Satellite - A
A slow but entrancing indie rock song with a fantastic chorus and hook.

Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces - A
A smooth and cool indie rock R&B song from the masters of that rare genre.

Autovein - Save Me - A-
The best Foo Fighters song released in 2007 so far, this song is quite good, but has trouble getting past it's obvious influence.

Black Sabbath - The Devil Cried - B
Over the top, heavy, goofy and all in all the most Dio-tastic song of the year.

Anberlin - Godspeed - B
An interesting song that doesn't take off, but is certainly above average.

Fu Manchu - Hung Out To Dry - B
A good, but not great stoner rock song.

Hello Goodbye - Here In Your Arms - B-
A weird but interesting Death Cab meets Daft Punk indie song.

H.I.M. - Join Me - C
A pleasant sounding song with goofy lyrics.

Good Charlotte - The River - C
Not a bad song for Good Charlotte, but it would be a disappointment from a better band.

Ghost Machine - Siesta Loca - C
very confused song that shifts midway through from ripping off Tool to ripping off Slipknot. In the future, pick one successful artist steal from and stick with it.

A Change Of Pace - Shoot From The Hip - C
Yet another timid Fall Out Boy knock-off. Very boring with a lousy chorus.

Hellyeah - You Wouldn't Know - D+
Sludgy noise metal with no redeeming qualities.

Hinder - Better Than Me - D-
The best thing I can say about this song is that it's not as radio friendly as "Lips Of An Angel", so at least I won't have to listen to it on infinite repeat. Crappy lyrics, lousy vocals and a terrible chorus. Yikes. Radio can do much better than you as well.

Godsmack - The Enemy - D-
More dull shit from Godsmack. Honestly, I think they've given up on good music and just record the same song over and over again, just to see if anyone notices.
