"There's No 666 in Outer Space
" is one of those tricky albums. I mean this in the sense that the band is insanely talented, and every song is obviously really amazing.
But at the same time, not every song is a hit. Not every song gets you Super excited to be listening.
I would say around 80% of the songs on the Album make me feel awesome, and the other few I am fairly Apathetic towards. But enough of how I feel.
What did I like about the Album? Well I think it isn't even necessary to mention Zack Hills incredibly over-the-top drumming technique.
What may be necessary to mention is the new use of Vocals. In earlier albums Hella did not have any vocals to back up the insano-complex rhythms. Not only have they added vocals, but have tried something new and have come up with a way to make them easier to follow as a band.
Another thing that separates Theres No 666 In Outer Space from any other Hella albums is the fact that it is their only LP to feature them as a full, 5 piece band.
So now you may be wondering...is it good?
Hella - The Ungrateful Dead
Yes. Yes it is good. The album is truly incredible, and my greatest fear is that someday someone will ask me to Tab out these insanely complex songs.
So what's the problem? The problem is...it's almost...too amazing. Heim and Hill obviously don't care what other people think of their music (A huge Plus) but for the average listener, There's No 666 in Outer Space
will seem unremarkable (but it is Remarkable).

It will make you cry, Like a small infant or toddler.
Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
