“Sleeplessly Embracing” Alt-J’s new album
At long last, English band Alt-J dropped their second album “This Is All Yours” on Sept. 22. Barely into its highly anticipated availability, “This Is All Yours” reached number one on charts in the UK, and topped globally in five other countries. The band’s previous album, “An Awesome Wave,” was nominated for three British music awards and went on to win the Mercury Award, issued to the UK’s best album by well-regarded officials in the industry.
“Hunger of the Pine” was the first track released and propelled fans into a conflicting onset of emotions due to the unexpected cameo of Miley Cyrus after the first few verses. Love her or hate her, most can’t help but head-bob anyways. There’s no denying that “Hunger of the Pine” is only one of thirteen knockout tracks that’ll have you wondering what on earth you’d been doing with your life before listening. Luckily for fans, Alt-J is touring across both America and Europe to promote their new album. More information their tour can be found at: aljband.com.
An Optimus Prime Time to Get Transformers: Age of Extinction on DVD
This fourth installment of the Transformer franchise grossed over $245 million in theaters and hit stores on Sept. 30. Fans of awesome robots and gnarly special effect geared action will have their movie thirsts quenched by Michael Bay’s, Transformers: Age of Extinction. Despite harsh reviews and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 3.8/10 from the critics and 3.3/5 from the fans, lovers of blaring mechanical robo-fights and Mark Wahlberg will not be disappointed.
The story follows protagonist Cade Yeager (Wahlberg) in his desperate attempts to rescue his daughter, Tessa, from her bounty hunter kidnappers. Of course being a Transformer movie, the plot could not be complete unless the world was under attack and needed the assistance of Bumblebee and his fellow robotic buds. So,if you’re in need of a ridiculously loud, robot-heavy action film, Transformers: Age of Extinction might be perfectly geared for you.
