Rock

More than a musical genius and cultural icon, Prince made it possible for everyday people to shape their own identities.

In a young year already slammed with musical deaths — David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Lemmy, Keith Emerson, George Martin, Merle Haggard, Maurice White, Paul Kantner — we now face the staggering blow that Prince, perhaps the greatest overall musician of his generation, is suddenly gone at the far too young age of 57.

Lovers of rock and country will no doubt appreciate the thought put into each track on this EP.

From beginning to end, 'Metal Resistance' is more than a solid second album from the devilsh trio, but it shows continued growth and more comfort with coming into their own. Babymetal proves they have what it takes to continue in this industry so ready to throw newcomers to the wolves.

While not bad, 'Paper' could benefit from less layering and stronger vocals, as well as a unifying theme.

'Born to Rock' is a medley of seven numbers protesting everything from the financial system, the medical system, and the degradation of the quality of governance at various levels.

Certainly if you are a fan of Rich Robinson, this EP is worth adding to your collection.
