Music Diary 2/25/2022

     Not much happened last week comparatively, but there were good singles by Dove Cameron, Doja Cat and Grace McKagan.  I also found out Alex Lifeson of Rush has formed a new Alternative Rock band with a woman lead singer called "Envy of None," which sounds pretty good, I'll be looking forward to their first full-length release in April.

 

    This week sees the release of two major albums for this year; the Scorpions' "Rock Believer" and Beth Hart's "Tribute to Led Zeppelin."  Both have featured great singles already and I'm looking forward to how the full albums sound. There is also a release from Corey Taylor of the B-Sides and covers from the sessions around his CMFT album, released late last year, and the Foo Fighters are apparently releasing a thrash metal album under the name Dream Widow tonight at 9:00 PST.

 

    I am trying to curb MP3 spending this next month due to the K.Flay concert on the 9th and the Switch port of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on the 17th.  Not only is it a fighting game in the Persona series by the same company responsible for Blazblue Crosstag Battle, it features all the Persona characters from that game, such as Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, Mitsuru Kirijo and Elizabeth, voiced again by Johnny Yong Bosch, Yuri Lowenthal, Erin Fitzgerald and Tara Platt voicing both of the last two.  This game also features my favorite Persona character, Rise Kujikawa, voiced by Laura Bailey of "Critical Role" fame.  This is her lone fighting appearance in the series, as well, she's typically a support character who tells you opponents' weaknesses and status effects.  There are other major games I'd like to try my hand at, but my other most major priority is Fire Emblem Warriors; Three Hopes, for also featuring Platt reprising her role as Edelgard, a therapeutic character in these times of massive political unrest and blatantly partisan churches.
