“The Terror" is, we know now, that even without love, life goes on... there is no mercy killing,” lead singer of The Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne said once in an interview.
Fall Out Boy is back and they've brought with them that pop–punk sound that used to inspire our braces–clad and zit–tastic selves to scream–sing–along every time FOB came on the radio.

TYGA’s new album, “Hotel California,” was released on April 9th—leaving exactly 72 hours for eager Penn students to learn all of his new lyrics before we see him in concert on Friday. These new songs will have to earn their place among favorites like “Rack City,” “Faded” and “Make it Nasty.” The new album’s cover displays a majestic tiger lounging beside a sunlit pool, because of course it would.
The Cold War Kids’ last album was a departure from the indie sound they exhibited on “Robbers & Cowards,” as they chose to go for a more mainstream sound. “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts” is a return back to their indie roots and their original sound.

The album is something like the inverted giant drop at amusement parks; you start off being shot upwards then calm down a bit before another shot followed by the slow return to the ground. The title track might make you feel like the ride is malfunctioning before you hit the ground, but “Bitter Poem” brings you home safely.
