DREAMS

Artist: BECK
Album: COLORS
Year: 2017
Genre: ROCK/POP, DANCE-ROCK

We start with a genius, Beck, a musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist who has been acclaimed by critics throughout his musical career as one of the most creative musicians due to the wide range of styles that the artist dominates. "Dreams", one of the best songs of the album, has funky saturated guitars with very catchy choruses and rhythms laden with psychedelia. As a follower of the artist, I share the question I always ask myself: Is there anything that Beck can not do?

Come on out of your dreams
And wake up from your reverie
Time is here, don’t go to sleep

NIHILIST BLUES

Artist: BRING ME THE HORIZON ft. GRIMES
Album: AMO
Year 2019
Genre: ELECTRO ROCK, SYNTH POP, DARK WAVE, TRANCE

It's 2019 and the British band is not even the shadow of what it was during the emo scene in the early years of 2000. Now, Bring Me the Horizon, due to the constant vocal problems of Oliver Sykes, points to more experimental genres in order to progress as artists and, why not, reduce the vocal demand of Sykes. The result is rock songs with high doses of electronics that, for this blogger, ends up being a delicious cocktail of dark electronic music. The song has the collaboration of Grimes, a Canadian singer known for her incredible work in experimental music.

I’ve been climbing up the walls to espace the sinking feeling
But I can’t hide from the nihilist at my door
Burried in the basement floor, didn’t know what I planted
It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

TAKE A BOW

Artist: MUSE
Album: BLACK HOLES AND REVELATIONS
Year: 2006
Genre: ALTERNATIVE ROCK, PROGRESSIVE ROCK, ELECTRO

After Muse is recognized as one of the best British and even international rock bands, the Devon band does not leave out their creative vein. "Black Holes and Revelations", a rock album with a lot of electronic influence surprises critics for being lighter than previous albums, however, it is considered a master piece. "Take a Bow" is the first track on the album where political criticism is present and is that when talking about Muse, it is almost impossible not to talk about politics. The song begins with a classic electro piece that takes us to the middle section of techno to make way for a heavy end with apocalyptic rock. It's amazing how the song takes you by a calm road and then abandon you in a chaotic end. Without a doubt, the album started with the right foot, a masterpiece. Would you sing this song to a politician from your country?

Corrupt, you corrupt
And bring corruption to all that you touch
Hold, you´ll behold
And behold and for all that you´ve done

And you will burn in hell
For your sins

APOCALYPSE

Artist: Cigarettes After Sex
Album: Cigarettes After Sex
Year: 2017
Genre: DREAM POP, INDIE POP, SLOWCORE, AMBIENT POP

This band originally from Texas, United States, rose to fame thanks to digital platforms and gave much to talk about because of its musical style and the voice of its vocalist. His music is characterized by depressing lyrics, minimalist arrangements and very slow tempos. I would say that his art is sweet and sentimental but slow and dreamy at the same time, with tender voices and very good lyrics. A pretty light band to listen to alone in your room.

Go and sneak us through the rivers, flood is rising up on your knees, oh please
Come on and haunt me, I know you want me
Come on and haunt me

When you’re all alone, I will reach for you
When you’re feeling low, I will be there too

SGT. MAJOR

Artist: JET
Album: GET BORN (SPECIAL EDITION)
Year: 2003
Genre: ROCK, GARAGE PUNK, POP ROCK

One of the biggest surprises that were born during the first years of 2000 was Jet. Influenced by bands like The Beatles, Queen, The Who, The Rolling Stones, among others, the Australian band brought back the classic rock scene but with arrangements of the time. There are many songs that I would recommend from this band, however, it would not be fair to fill the list with songs by the same artist. Jet has been applauded by the great titans of rock and the voice of his vocalist, Nic Caster, is extremely good.

Sgt. Major knows what you want
Knows what you are
One day you’ll be a star

I FEEL LIKE I’M DROWNING

Artist: TWO FEET
Album: A 20 SOMETHING F*CK
Year: 2018
Genre: ELECTRONIC, DARK POP, ALTERNATIVE ROCK/INDIE

This artist, despite not being well known, does an incredible job mixing electronics with pop, rock and light touches of blues. Two Feet, producer of American nationality, called the attention of certain music magazines of his country for his song "I Feel Like I'm Drowing", which is the best known so far. The song was ranked 7 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs list. The singer shows us his thoughts towards a superficial woman.

I don’t know what the hell you gonna do
When you looks start depleting
And your friends all start leaving
You’re so plastic and that’s tragic just for you

FREE NOW

Artist: Sleeping With Sirens
Album: FEEL
Year: 2013
Genre: POP/ROCK, ALTERNATIVE ROCK

One more band that is so far of its original sound. Like Bring Me The Horizon, this band opens up to new worlds in music. Sleeping With Sirens always gave of what to speak, as much as of its musical style as the voice of its singer, Kellin Quinn, that has a quite peculiar voice. The American band brings us a record with a lot of pop and electronic influence. "Free Now", one of the songs that most caught the attention of critics, recounts the confusion and concerns of the vocalist for his new father stage, since, Quinn was abandoned by his parents and grew up in an orphanage.

Who will I be for my daughter?
This little baby, she means the world to me
Will I relive their mistakes?
Or do things the right way
For her sake

BEAUTIFUL SCAR

Artist: AARON
Album: ARTIFICIAL ANIMALS RIDING ON NEVERLAND
Year: 2007
Genre: POP/ROCK, ALTERNATIVE

This little known French duo was taking recognition in Europe for participating in the soundtrack of the movie "Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas" (Do not worry, I'm fine) with the song "U-Turn (Lili)" , however, there was another theme of the French that resonated a lot in the European alternative scene. "Beautiful Scar", one of the most chanted songs of the group, is characterized by a dark, slow and deep aura, accompanied by an acoustic guitar, a deep voice and some minimalist arrangements.

Into the streets of your mind
I get lost once in a while
Crytal dear antagony
Your soul is not the right for me

A LACK OF COLOR
Artist: DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
Album: TRANSATLANTICISM
Year: 2003
Genre: INDIE POP, INDIE ROCK

The fame of the American group skyrocketed thanks to this album, which received praise from critics who won the Gold Disc certificate in their native country. "A Lack of Color", last song of the album, was part of the soundtrack of some series like "The O.C." and the movie "The Wedding Crashers". The song is calm and minimalist accompanied by an acoustic guitar and quite deep lyrics.

This is fact not fiction
Fort he first time in years
And all the girls from every girly magazine can’t make me feel
Any less alone

TALKING TO MYSELF

Artist: LINKIN PARK
Album: ONE MORE LIGHT
Year: 2017
Genre: POP ROCK, ELECTRO POP, ALTERNATIVE ROCK

The most controversial album of the band Linkin Park was severely criticized due to its sound closer to commercial music and is that the American group, over the years, has been experimenting with various musical styles causing its followers to lose their heads. This album was compared multiple times with the album "Hybrid Theory", the first album of the band, however, as a faithful follower of the group, I consider that the album "One More Light" has a lot of potential and has several good songs being "Talking to Myself " one of those. It is a rather catchy song accompanied by the versatile voice of Chester Bennington. Sadly, when the official promotional video of the song was published on YouTube, the same day Chester Bennington, vocalist of the group, took his life in his residence in California. Bennington suffered from depression as a child and his condition was notorious in his lyrics.

Tell me what I’ve gotta do
There’s no getting through to you
The lights are on, but nobody’s home
