Chiodos
Perhaps no one can explain the sheer ferocity and timid quietness it is better than when vocalist Craig Owens says “we don’t want to let the kids down” when discussing the group’s intense vocals live at shows.

Quite interesting album that spans everything that has made music progression possible. You`ve got your waltz, ragtime, blues, jazz, country, folk, and southern-flavored rock-n-roll. The smoky lounge stand up bass-favoring tune of “Breathin`” invokes memories of the first few decades of the 1900`s. Unbelievably polished yet with raw energy and emotion, “My Favorite Record” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Much like their highly vaunted album “Spanker Madness” (a spoofy portrayal of the role drugs play in our society making fun of one of the more ridiculous anti-drug films of our generation), Asylum Street Spankers are again able to create a thematic album that will breathe life into the music scene. More than just a bit of vaudeville, “My Favorite Record” will quickly become your favorite with its eclectic yet stylistic tunes. What an awesome album.
