Not sure if it's the follow up to their breakthrough hit "Undead", but today it reached top 50 on Mediabase Active, so here is its thread.
59 50 HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD Young 124 73 51 0.330
19 stations playing.
It looks like it will be a hit! It's top 50 without an adds date and this band is everything but established on radio...

Kinda sucks. They should've gone with "Sell Your Soul" if anything, cause it's the only track on the album I remember liking.

From "What the fuck you know about being a gangsta" and liberal use of profanity, misogyny, and homophobic slurs, comes a crooned, borderline "emo" chorus plus a kids choir. The unintentional hilarity continues.

This is one of the worst bands to come out in a long time. Maybe not quite on the level of Hinder, but they beat out Saving Abel for suckiness. Whoever produces them knows what he's doing though, cuz they sound legit despite being terrible songwriters.

Pretty much every album is more dynamic than this one. Dope is more dynamic. This is an album for bros and hoes, and has about as much charisma and substance as that target audience.

But really, if you want some albums just in this year alone?

The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love We don't have a Decemberists topic for a single being promoted from this album, so I'll go ahead and put this here: Last week on punknews.org, I read an album review for this and the guy, having listened to a vinyl copy, gave it a glowing 5-star review, full of fawning, thick paragraphs that are way too biased and long to bother reading, considering I'm not a Decemberists fan. (It's not that I dislike them; they're just too literary and indie for me to take much interest in.) Frankly, it doesn't even matter that it's a Decemberists album getting reviewed. Anyway, for the purposes of posterity, here's one of the comments one of the users posted afterward, which was one of the funniest things I read all last week: :)

Hahahaha, beautiful. Man, I hate reviewers like that. Personally, I always wrote the Decemberists off as one of those too-indie-for-me bands too, but then I decided to just listen to some of the songs on their MySpace and they came off to me like kind of a not as pop Wallflowers or Counting Crows or one of those kinds of bands. I'm sure their fans would kill me for the analogy. I'm not even really paying attention to the narrative in the album, I just like the music. Very melodic and soothing and enjoyable.

One or two of my co-workers played The Crane Wife frequently back when we all worked at the record store together. The only song I took to in those partially attentive circumstances was "When the War Came," and that was really only because Colin's voice reminded me of Brian Molko's from Placebo. Aside from that one, I have mp3's of "16 Military Wives," "O Valencia!", and "The Perfect Crime #2": a few singles to sample from.
