The same week you sat down to have your Thanksgiving meal, or wished that you were having your Thanksgiving meal, Fall Out Boy announced they would be releasing their sixth studio album this January. With their first single from the album \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Centuries\u00e2\u20ac\u009d out now, it appears the band will continue the theatric and melodramatic tone found in many of their later albums. That being said one can expect a well-balanced album with a dizzying energy defining some songs while others offer hypnotic sing-along hooks. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s even more exciting is the opportunity to see them perform these songs live at this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Punk Spring. Look out for an article about this event in the near future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you like Phil Collins?… This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yes, I know. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve fallen into the easiest Phil Collins review trap there is; quoting American Psycho<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Patrick Bateman as he explores the artistry of Phil Collins solo work as well as his contribution to the band Genesis. Yet, who can blame me when the opening track\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s title is right there in the book (and how convenient the words American Psycho also appear in Fall Out Boy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s newest album title mentioned in this same article). Listening to No Jacket Required<\/i>, an album celebrating its 30th<\/sup> anniversary this year, is similar to finding yourself standing under a rain of eighties without an umbrella. A rain that pours on you all of the good things from the decade like horn and synthesizer giddiness found in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Only You and I Know\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and soulful love from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153One More Night.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Enjoy this Grammy-awarded Album of the Year and by the end, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be screaming your heart out with Collins as you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re both pleading for someone to take, take you home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the past few years, you would have been hard pressed to find an indie rock fan who didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have St. Vincent as one of their favorite artists and with her fourth and newest studio album, the odds in all likelihood have become even rarer. While you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dancing or swaying to the music the album hits on themes and emotions that will simultaneously have tears streaming down your face. Themes and emotions we all at one time or another think about or fall prey to; the fear of losing the love closest to you (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Prefer Your Love\u00e2\u20ac\u009d), holding onto hope against all odds (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Severed Crossed Fingers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d), and regret (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Regret\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). Catch this indie goddess live at Club Quattro Umeda on Thursday, Feb 19. Tickets cost 6,500 yen plus a drink and directions for purchasing them can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"american](\"http:\/\/www.hyogoajet.net\/hyogotimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/american-beauty-american-pyscho.jpg\")
