Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

Adele’s latest album is even better than 21. Yes I absolutely love this album. Hello, the lead single is great, but I wouldn’t say it’s better than some other songs here. Vocally Adele shows great range all over the place. Send My Love is a great song, as is the Danger Mouse produced River Lea. U know I’m not really sure why some didn’t like this album. It’s a terrific album! The verdict: 9.9/10

A lot can be said about Big Boi’s first true solo album. Speakerboxx from 2003’s double Outkast album was really good, in fact about a solid 9/10. Now to SLLF….well Big Boi had delayed this album for a long time, and I’m glad he did, cause this is a superior rap album….i would go as far to say this is better than any album the duo (Outkast) has put out overall, but I have not heard all of them to date so I won’t. Anyways this album features some of the catchiest beats and choruses rap has to offer this year, or any year for that matter. The base hits hard, then some songs are smooth, and others like Shine Blockas are right for the club. My personal favorites are Be Still & Turns Me On. Then again this is an album with NO FILLER, unless you count the skits or the SB remix at the end. Anyways the lyrics weren’t quite flawless, but that’s about it. Stop reading this review and go hear the best dirty south album of the 00s for yourself. The verdict is a 9.8/10!!

- Nelly’s debut, like Nelly himself is an extremely popular cd. The radio singles are great, and theres some other standout tracks like For My with Lil Wayne. Batter Up is my favorite track however. The lyrics and beats are equal…around about a 8.5/10. Its just a really addictive album. Ultimately this sounds a little dated, but then again only Nellyville is better in Nelly’s catalog then this. The verdict: 8.8/10

Make no mistake, this is Justin Bieber’s best album. He isn’t as vocally powerful sure, but the lyrics are better than ever, the hooks just as good too. The production is solid throughout.I really like the song Children in addition to the singles. He seems to be channeling MJ on Children in particular….um yeah lol. Sorry is easily my favorite track. The album I swell rounded and a good comeback. Verdict: 8.9/10

The Avengers 2-Age of Ultron- Avengers 2 isnt as good as the first, but its still very good and the characters have great chemistry. The villain, Ultron is supposedly a creation of Starks(Ironman) that goes Rogue. He can manifest in multiple robotic bodies, but he has just 2 main ones.                 The story of the movie seems to be on par with the first film, but it just doesn’t seem as interesting. The special effects are on par. The fight with a out of control Hulk and a “VERONICA” Super Iron man suit are terrific. Ultron himself is a good villain who says random quotes. There’s even a new edition to the Avenger team.                 Overall Avengers 2 was a great film but the bar has been raised high for every Marvel movie to come after it(Captain America 3…etc). Rating: 9.0/10   Jurassic World- Jurassic Wo...

1.        Final Fantasy X-This should come as no surprise. FFX is a top 3 game of mine all time, so this was a no brainer. FFX has an incredible story, great characters and fun combat. It’s a turn based RPG meaning the fights can really take a long time. 2.        Pokemon Heart Gold- PHG is imo the best Pokemon to date. It’s got added features of GBA and DS pokemons. There’s also 16 gym leaders, rival fights, Elite 4 round 1 and 2, and Ash Kethum(RED) at the end. 3.        Paper Mario-This is a special game. Its inspired by Super Mario RPG(go figure). Its just as good if not better. 3 sequels to the Mario RPG extravaganza. The game is pretty challenging, as you rescue Princess with a party of fellow Mushroom Kingdom characters. 4.        Pokemon Yellow-This game gets the nod over Red and Blue due to its addition of Pikachu following you mostly. Also you c...
