BD Music Best Of 2010: Jonny B’s Picks

Published

on

So, we’re at the end of another year and we here at Bloody-Disgusting love sharing our favorites (and our most hated) of the past year with you. So, I decided to put together a list of some of my favorite releases of the past year. Here’s the catch: I only used albums or songs from albums I reviewed in 2010. So, check after the jump for my “Best of 2010”!

Best “Get Me Pumped Up” Song
Soilwork – Late for the Kill, Early for the Slaughter
Runner up: Nevermore – The Obsidian Conspiracy
The chorus for ‘Late For The Kill, Early For The Slaughter’ nearly got me pulled over for speeding. I think I topped out at 100mph on the freeway. 
As for ‘The Obsidian Conspiracy’, try listening to the first 30 seconds and not getting pumped up. I dare you. 
Best “Album To Get Busy To”
You all know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t, go ask mommy and daddy to tell you about the birds and the bees. These two albums side by side would probably cause my hips to break ::hint hint::
Song of the Year:
Karnivool – New Day
Quick disclaimer: I know that this album came out in 2009, but it only received a Stateside release in 2010, thereby allowing me to include it in this list.
This song exemplifies how to properly build up a song from beginning to end, passage to passage. Starting with guitars and vocals only, the song segues into a simple yet driving bass line with focused, rim-shot drums. Each transition afterwards is a logical step forward that plays perfectly to the previous passage. When Ian Kenny triumphantly cries, “I’ve been waiting my whole life!” at 6:50 never ceases to give me goosebumps. To get the full effect, you need to wear your best headphones or put this on a great sound system with the volume a few notches below the pain threshold. And last thing: don’t let anything interrupt this 8:21. This is a song that needs to be heard from beginning to end without pause.
Album of the Year:
This one is a little bit of a stretch as it’s technically not a full-length album. However, it’s also the most cohesive and well arranged album I’ve heard this year. Basically one long song, ‘Concealing Fate’ is an album that hasn’t left my car stereo since I got it. 
2011 Most Anticipated Albums
TesseracT – One
The Haunted – Unseen
So, by now you probably realize how much I love TesseracT so instead I’ll explain that I LOVE The Haunted. ‘Versus’ took some time to grow on me but ‘The Dead Eye’ was a CD that I barely stopped listening to for six months after it’s release. So when a new The Haunted album is announced, my loins go aquiver and my blood starts pumping.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
