No Doubt Self-titled album cover

Debut Album Review: No Doubt – Self-Titled

October 21, 2021October 21, 2021 Drew

There was no doubt this band was going somewhere. Sometime in 1995, or maybe it was 1996, this striking blond woman singing about being just a girl in the world fronted this new group for a video I watched on … Continue reading Debut Album Review: No Doubt – Self-Titled

Debut Album Review: Fleetwood Mac – Self-titled

July 21, 2021July 20, 2021 Drew

One benefit gleaned from this music review site came from attending concerts of bands I otherwise would have passed on. Then, a few months ago I started the debut album series getting me in touch with the beginnings of accomplished … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Fleetwood Mac – Self-titled

Debut Album Review: Institute – Distort Yourself

June 28, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

When Institute dropped their debut album Distort Yourself on Sept. 13, 2005 out-of-the-loop Bush fans probably thought Gavin Rossdale got the gang back together again and released a surprise album. Arguably, Distort Yourself functioned as a new Bush album but … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Institute – Distort Yourself

Debut Album Review: U2 – Boy

June 9, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

With the world mired in a political cesspool, Bono has been strangely quiet. Or maybe I’ve just tuned out all the noise. Not one to keep his mouth shut, Bono, aka Paul Hewson, certainly must have something to say about … Continue reading Debut Album Review: U2 – Boy

Skillet First Album Cover

Debut Album Review: Skillet – Self-titled

May 28, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

Hot off the skillet! Or maybe hot from Skillet. Though, the debut album from Skillet needed more time over the fire. Skillet didn’t raise the thermometer much with their eponymous debut album, at least in the secular rock world. And, … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Skillet – Self-titled

Album Cover for Owl City Maybe I'm Dreaming

Debut Album Review: Owl City – Maybe I’m Dreaming

May 4, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

The one man band known as Owl City burst onto the music scene more than 10 years ago with the smash hit “Fireflies” a clever, catchy and emotionally driven synth heavy pop song that propelled Adam Young to brief stardom. … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Owl City – Maybe I’m Dreaming

Album cover for REO Speedwagon's first record

Debut Album Review: REO Speedwagon – Self-titled

April 13, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

What a difference a singer makes. Your father’s REO Speedwagon, or maybe your REO Speedwagon, has little in common with the REO Speedwagon that entered the music scene in 1971 with the eponymous debut album R.E.O. Speedwagon. (OK, seriously, what’s … Continue reading Debut Album Review: REO Speedwagon – Self-titled

Metallica Kill 'Em All Album Cover

Debut Album Review: Metallica – Kill ‘Em All

April 6, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone, not already in the know, to identify the band that released Kill ‘Em All as the same band that released Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. The fast-paced speed metal of Metallica’s debut album Kill ‘Em All introduced … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Metallica – Kill ‘Em All

Album cover for The Offspring's debut album

Debut Album Review: The Offspring – Self-titled

March 23, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

But they have master’s degrees! My rebuttal to those who questioned why I liked the music of The Offspring curators of brash punk pop rock, featuring sometimes interesting subject matter and a singer who yelled the lyrics with little vocal … Continue reading Debut Album Review: The Offspring – Self-titled

Album cover for Duran Duran's first album

Debut Album Review: Duran Duran – Self-titled

March 16, 2021July 10, 2021 Drew

The debut album review series continues with Duran Duran’s first release, the self-titled album from 1981. Duran Duran didn’t exactly explode on the music scene, at least in the United States, after releasing their debut album in 1981 but within … Continue reading Debut Album Review: Duran Duran – Self-titled
