The guitar-work on this album is awesome, I love it. However there weren't too many songs that really stuck out. It's still a pretty good album though, I liked it well enough.

Actually i liked it well enough. I can see the Dino Jr. comparison. Nothing really stood out to me that i thought was particularly interesting. I might, but probably wont listen to it again. Just not really my jam.

I guess I'll say I didn't really enjoy it, I just feel like it didn't go anywhere, and it didn't really keep me interested. It wasn't awful though, I could see why others might enjoy it.

Hm, well it definitely started out strong. The first track (can't remember titles) was definitely my favorite. I enjoyed all the first four, really. After that it wasn't as great. I can definitely see the Dino Jr. comparisons. Nirvana not so much. I'm not sure how I felt about the last track. It was certainly interesting.

Anyway, it certainly caught my attention. Not in my top 5 of the year, but quite good overall. I imagine I'll return to it at some point. 75/100

The page says "released December 2013" now. Not to seem rude with this correction. But I'm not sure Bandcamp is right. Either way, darn good choice, Happymeal! Very grungy. 😁

I get the Dino Jr. feel, but I also felt an automatic Nirvana vibe. More Dino Jr., though. And I find the fact that he did a grungy metal cover of "If I Can't" pretty funny. I never expected someone to go as far as to cover that for a metal album.

I listened to the tracks on his bandcamp here: http://mikejourgensen.bandcamp.com/

It's pretty good, and I see the Dino Jr connection, though it does come across as a weaker version of that. I'm also not sure I dug that short heavy metal excursion in the middle. Or that Green Magnesia track.

You don't know that I didn't. I didn't though.

Album: Moodeity
Artist: Mike Jourgensen
Label: N/A
Released: January 1st, 2014
Country: United States

I wouldn't call this my favorite album of the year, but I know I am impressed by it. The instrumentation is pretty well made with a hard rock(ish) feel to it at times and certainly can transverse across other similar genres, but what made me love this album so much is this guy's voice. I wouldn't say it always goes perfectly with the music, but it's so soothing and reminiscent of Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr. type vocals (though I have a better comparison I seem to have forgotten it). Like I said, this album isn't going to be a perfect mixture of everything right; I'd even say that I'd take out the second and fourth track, but that's besides the point. Anyways, have a nice listening; hope you guys enjoy it!
