This was the first dirt jump bike that I owned. This bike is great for a people wanting to get into mountain biking, but because it has some fairly good components it also passes as an intermediates bike. The bike has considerably good geometry; the only thing that could be improved on it is the length of the chain stays. They are a bit long due to the chain stays being made up of 3 separate ...

The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me is Brand New's most recent album. it adds a mixture of their first two albums but with a bit more this time. this album is one of the best albums that i have come across all year. it has a great mixture of the loud and soft. this can clearly be seen the 'Sowing Season', the opening song, it beings with the lead singer using an acoustic guitar. ...

Billy Talent II is the second album by the canadian band Billy Talent. As the band members have grown up, so has their music. this album is not as angry as the their first album. its still has areas of anarchy written all over it. the song 'Red Flag' is all about the youth getting up and doing it for them selves. this album has a big punk sound to it and because its a three piece band i...

The Cants are a three piece Melbourne band. They are able to produce a unique garage rock/power pop sound that gives them the edge over many other small bands in the area. The music that they play isn’t the most difficult and skilful. The songs are nice and simple, this works well with The Cants where as many other bands wouldn’t be able to pull it off. The album is great to liste...

The Translating The Name is a Saosin EP. This is the only released CD with Saosin’s first singer Anthony Green. In the recording of this EP they have also got in another drummer because the other one was still engaged with his old band. With the mixture of these two elements it gives this EP a completely different sound to the self-titled album that has now been released. It is more ful...

This is the first album of The Hives that I have listened to. It opened me to the wonderful world of The Hives. The Black And White Album is their fourth album so they have been able to clean up and refine their sound. I fell in love with this album straight away. I hear Tick Tick Boom on the radio and went and got the album straight away. I liked the clean crisps sound of their high tempo rock...

Because Of The Times is the third full-length album released by the Kings Of Leon. I have found that this album is considerably different to everything else they have released. Their sound has changed and everything sounds a lot cleaner. At first I didn’t really like the album much at all. Mainly because I was a huge fan of their old stuff and there was a big jump to this album. This ...

The Sufferer And The Witness is the fourth album released by the punk, post hardcore band Rise Against. This is a more melodic than some of their other albums. But it still contains its full on, in your face punk style. If you enjoyed the Rise Against’s other albums then you will like this album. The album brings into a new style of Rise Against; there are new sounds and a different sty...

The Blk Mrkt Mob is a 26-inch mountain bike frame. Blk Mrkt is owned by the renowned BMX brand S&M. This frame is by far the best frame that I have ever ridden. I am running 80mm Marzocchi forks, this made the geometry considerable more comfortable then when I was running 100mm forks. This is the only change I have had to make to the bike. The chain stays are nice and short, which makes s...

This is the first album released by Gyroscope on a major record label. In doing so it doesn’t fail to produce an excellent sound. It is a grunge/rock album, but with a mix of Australian in it. it gives an Australian version of grunge/rock. This album is the heaviest of all the albums that Gyroscope has released. There are a few softer songs through out the album that give you a break fr...

This is the Hilltop Hoods best album out of all the ones that they have released so far. It brought Aussie hip-hop back into the mainstream music charts. It mixes all different topics, sounds and people through out the journey of the CD. The most successful song on the album was Nosebleed Section, which could be heard all over the radio. It is a different style of hip-hop; it doesn’t ha...

These Cheap Monday jeans are a great pair. i was looking for a tight pair of jeans that were good quality and kept their colour. i had heard many good reviews about this brand of jeans. i had also had them recommended to me by a few friends who had bought this style of pants. the store was really helpful with the jeans. when i bought them they were a great fit, the waist was perfect and the tig...

The iPod is one of my best ever buys. i bought a white 30gb iPOd. at first i thought it was easily enough room, and for a while i was content with it. but as i got into music more i quickly began to run out of room. now i believe that 30gb isnt sufficient. the iPod is fairly easy to use. The in iPod controls make it easy to navigate your way around your music and the sounds quality is very good...

I bought these forks after I had broken my Dirt Jumper 3. So it was a tiny bit of an upgrade to them. When I bought them I was expecting the feel to be better because you could make more adjustments to how the fork runs. This fork had internal rebound adjustment and external compression adjustment. When I first used the forks I could hear a clicking sort of sound coming from them when they we...

Photoshop CS is a great photo-editing program. You are also able to create images using this program. It has many tools for all the editing that needs to be done. The one thing that I don’t like about this program is the price. It is quite expensive and unless you are a dedicated photographer who needs a good editor. Then I don’t think it’s worth paying all the money for thi...
