Bear In Heaven – Beast Rest Forth Mouth: Remixed (Review)

Bear In Heaven

Beast Rest Forth Mouth: Remixed

Released by Hometapes


Originally released last fall to massive critical acclaim, the second album from this New York quartet (down to a trio since the recording) is being sent back to the front of record store racks as a double LP that pairs the overwhelming sounds of the original release’s 10 ornate tracks with equally powerful remixes from a cast including The Field, The Hundred in the Hands, High Places and Justin K. Broadrick of Jesu and Godflesh. The remix companion shuffles the track order a bit, but the musical range of ...

Kanye West Performs For Nerds

We keed! We keed!

Kids from several different Chicago Public Schools cluttered into the tightly packed Chicago Theatre to catch the first of two Kanye West concerts. Mr. West played one of his more impromptu gigs for the high schoolers, who attended the concert as a reward for either improving their grades or maintaining steady ones (Maybe if Kanye West would performed every time I got good grades I wouldn’t be failing Math).

Starting the concert by simply asking the crowd “What do you want me to play?”, Kanye went through a string of hits- “Jesus Walks”, “Good Life”, “Amazin”—reminding Chicago why he’s been at the forefront of pop culture for almost a decade. Yeezy was in true form this Thursday afternoon, jumping into every song with the same energy, aggressiveness and visible effort he displayed during …

Live Review: Coheed + Cambria

Last week, we had the privilege of checking out Coheed and Cambria at Madison Square Garden on their tour with Trivium and Slipknot. The crowd was what was to be expected at a Slipknot show – lots of testosterone, little women (as in, few women, not the novel), and lots of friendly, if slightly concerned, mothers waiting in the rotunda for their sons.

The Garden would seem to be the perfect spot to accommodate C + C’ s proggy, arena rock leanings. Yet while the band itself brought an energy level far greater than the fans waiting for Slipknot, the muddied sound made it to difficult at times to discern just how sick these …
