Every year there seems to be an album or two that totally rocks my world. In particular, I am speaking of albums that are done by either a reunited band or a band that have been around for years, decades, even centuries (?)... wait not centuries, but you get the point. Last year these albums for me were Dinasour Jr.'s Farm and Manic Street Preacher's Journal for Plague Lovers. This year, Superchunk, North Carolin natives and indie-rock legends, put out their first album since 2001. You would think that Majesty Shredding might sound a bit rusty, but nope; not at all. This album just absolutely kicks ass, every song is effortlessly simple, but yet boisterous. This is not an album that will win over the "artsy" types, but who cares... sometimes all I want to hear is just a simple rock record. This is it. "Crossed Wires" is one of a hand full of fantastically crafted rock/pop songs from Majesty Shreddingthat is super easy to just dig a lot. Give it a listen.
