We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
The Norwegian band The Well has released their music video for “Separate Ways”. The Well has a great sound for me. The vocals are nice and clear and the instrumentals have a great rhythm, with a nice bass drum beat to get your body moving with the music. The single “Separate Ways” will be available on October 20. Check out the music video below from The Well’s YouTube channel – Richard:

The “Constantine” YouTube channel is giving us a first look at the upcoming Constantine television series. This one looks really good and I hope it makes it through the crowd of new shows this fall. Constantine premiers October 24 on NBC. And now the first look:
Warner Bros. finally gives us a Science Fiction Space Opera that is original and not based off anything that I can tell. The story looks decent and the special effects in the trailer look good. Hopefully that will lead to a good SciFi Flic. It is slated to come out this coming February 2015. Check out the trailer from Warner Bros. YouTube channel:
Already I love this band. From their style to their name, they’ve got everything I look for in a band. Not to mention I loved the music. The grinding of the electric guitars and just overall clash made for some amazing rock. The only critique I have is that the vocals need to be brought out more. When I hear the singer he sounds great (even with the voice modifications) because he fits the music really well but for the most part I can’t hear him. Even when I can hear him it’s hard to understand a thing he’s saying, which stops their message from getting through to others, if Mammabear fixed that small thing they would be incredible.

The first thing I noticed-before the video even began- was that it was roughly a 5 minute song, with that much time to fill it better be good. Sadly, I wasn’t over the moon for Aers. Their intro was very melodic and interesting but the voice plus the slow tempo didn’t do it for me. The voice is too flowy and to me sounded like a bad trip off mushrooms because it was injected with so many voice changes, the saddest part is that through all of that I can hear a really great voice if they wouldn’t doctor it up so much or even not at all. The tempo dragged the song on and I was leaning forward but not in the good way- I was leaning over to try to get the song to go faster. It seemed strange at such a slow tempo and was almost painstakingly slow. If Aers upped the tempo and took out all the voice modifiers I would definitely give them another listen to.
