ALBUM REVIEW: Funeral Chic – Roman Candle


 

My chief concern heading into Funeral Chic’s Roman Candle (Prosthetic Records) is that the name Funeral Chic is very unappealing. It’s objectively a bad name for a band.

Yeah, I’d like a ticket to go see Jack Sparrow, Joe Perry and golf enthusiast Alice Cooper walk around onstage, Mr. Box Office. Continue reading

Marilyn Manson released his latest album, Heaven Upside Down, last week, and as Keith said in his 8.5/10 review, “it may not be as complete top to bottom as the last one, but no one should question if Manson is vital in 2017 or not.
