Thrak Attack

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? I am sorry I have been absent, there's been a lot going on. But we're back to the old schedule. In order to catch you guys up. we're going to do a Top 10 list of all of the releases in march. There is an entry of every category too which is nice! So let's not wait any longer and get started on the Top 10 adventures of March 2022! 10. "Mainstream Sellout" by Machine Gun Kelly is not a great album but I think it's aware of that enough to make it not a terrible album. I really loved "Tickets to my Downfall" but this one just feels too much of the same for it to stick with me.  9. "Crash" by CharliXCX should have been a great album but it is plagued with over production of some songs and underproduction of others. It also features a very blatant use of plagiarism in the form of the song "Beg for You" which is exactly the same as September's "Cry For You".  8...

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? This month took us to some pretty weird places such as the TVA, the mushroom kingdom, a garage for game building, Washington Heights, and the Nowhere Generation. Here is the top 10 adventures we went on in June! 10. The Bad Batch is a solid show on Disney+ that struggles to know who it's audience is. The more I watch the more I dislike it and the more I want to punch Omega right in the teeth. The dark tones clash with the child friendly plots and it just doesn't work after 10 episodes in. 9. "Nowhere Generation" by Rise Against is not a great album... but the title track is killer! You can really tell when listening that song is where most of their energy went for this album. They lyrics are mesmerizing and keep you intrigued and the chorus is a wordy anthem that makes you want to listen again and again. It is contender for song of the year, however the album is not.  8. "Back of My Mind" by H.E.R ....

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Well, we made it to the end of 2020. Lots of changes this year and lots of delayed releases but we made it through! You know what that means, it's time for the Top 10 lists of the year! Full disclosure. I missed some movies (Tenet, Monster Hunter, Wonder Woman 1984)  but I feel like other than that I have a pretty comprehensive list of the year! Each one will have a small picture and a little blurb about why I liked them. So here we go, the top 10 Movies of 2020! Top 10 Movies 10. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is a fun and charming Netflix film starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams that features great characters, scenery, and music. The cast was fantastic and "Ja Ja Ding Dong" is the best song from a movie this year! 9. Wolfwalkers is a beautifully animated film on Apple TV+ deep into Irish mythology and deep allegories. Themes of embracing change, religion, and what it means to be in a cage...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? The start of Season 2 brings us a lot to look forward to! This season will have monthly episodes so there will be 12 episodes this season. Those posts will be much larger though and will have more adventures in each post. Monthly Podcasts and eventually videos will follow as well. This part of the premier will be a look into the future to see what content will actually be releasing! We will be looking at Movies, Albums, Video Games, Travel, and new to this season is TV series. Just to let you know a lot of the content releasing this year does not have a concrete release date so I will be adding a TBA at the end of the list. I am also only putting stuff that I will be or may be reviewing so it won't be everything.  With all of that out of the way, let's get started! Key Video Games Movies Music Travel TV JANUARY 10- "Cell-O" by Apocalyptica  17- Dragonball Z: Kakarot       "The Juice" by G....

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes us on a journey to the past! 2010 and onward! What were my favorite albums, songs, video games, and movies from the past decade? What better way to kick off the new year, decade, and season than taking a look back! So here we go, season 2! Top 10 of the OT's! TOP 10 ALBUMS 10. "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino is one the quintessential albums of the decade. The cultural and musical influences he uses and creates with this album are astonishing! 9. "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters is one of many they released this decade but is the album I believe is their best of them all. Even with "Concrete and Gold's" production value and "Sonic Highways" concept, this one is just the best. 8. "Sugar" by G. Love and Special Sauce is the return to form for the underrated group. Jimi Jazz returns on bass to create one of the legendary trio...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes place on three different fronts. The video game front we have indie game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch titled "Cadence of Hyrule", on the movie front we have a movie that should not exist titled "Toy Story 4", and on the music front we have the third Raconteurs album titled "Help Us Stranger". There is no news this week due all of the content released this week! So with all of that out of the way, let's get started! "Cadence of Hyrule" is an indie game from the studio that brought us "Crypt of the Necrodancer". It is a rhythm based RPG featuring characters from the Legend of Zelda series and the player is forced to move and attack to the beat of the music. As a percussionist, I thought this would be an easy experience but I was so wrong. It is extremely difficult to traverse the land while battling only moving to the beat. The issue is whe...

Well another year has come and gone with some amazing adventures and memorable experiences! This part one of the years end review which I will list out all of the adventures I have been on this year. Every video game played, every movie enjoyed, every trip to somewhere new, and every musical adventure (song and album). Tomorrow's post will be the actual list but I wanted to write today and I figured to split up the post into 2 different sections with one as a general overview and one with the full list. So with all of that out of the way, let's see what adventures I went on this year! MOVIES! Black Panther - Well done but basic MCU film with HUGE fanfare. A Wrinkle in Time - One of the worst films I've ever seen. Avengers: Infinity War - One of the biggest films of all time and a big step for the MCU. Deadpool 2 - Another fun and inventive yet crude outing for the Merc with a Mouth. Solo: A Star Wars Story - The 2nd anthology film for the Star Wars franchise, and an...

So let's get the ball rolling there has been a ton of news this week! So let's get started! NEWS! -The first look at the Sonic the Hedgehog film looks horrendous and I can't wait shovel popcorn into my mouth as I watch this terrible film! -The 7 new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been announced and include The Cure, Def Leppard, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music, and The Zombies. None of my favorites but all great choices. -Tony Hawk finally releases an mobile game for iOS and Android titled "Tony Hawk Skate Jam". This makes logical sense for the series. -Police respond to a noise complaint and then joined in the Smash Bros game that caused it. That's how you do it! -Pokemon Go player vs. player battles are finally live but I have n...
