Spyro Reignited Trilogy’ – Reunited with an old friend

 No matter if you are looking for a trip down nostalgia lane or  introducing a younger generation to the world of Spyro, 'Reignited  Trilogy' is a solid remaster of the classics. Even though lackluster  gameplay and rushed design choices plague the experience from the start,  it still comes off as enjoyable for both veterans and novices.  Hopefully this eternal flame can find space to roar once again.

J Mascis welcomes you to a dark, mellow, and easy-going world on ‘Elastic Days’

 ‘Elastic Days’ is a moody, soft, and introspective album. The  instrumentation helps put the listener into the world that the lyrics  paint. The guitar solos are crisp and effective in bringing out the  emotion of the lyrics. The contributors to the record add enough extra  layers to certain songs to help expand the album’s sound. Near the end  of the album, the music tires out and kept me wanting something  different in sound.

‘Origins’ should have gone back to where it came from

 'Origins' sounds like a car crash involving quite a lot of albums.  Unfortunately, none of those albums happen to be good ones. Whether it  is the flaccid, lifeless electro-pop and EDM, the overblown radio rock  destined to plague arenas across the world, or the departures from those  two sounds that should’ve been left on the cutting room floor, all the  directions that Imagine Dragons attempt to go in lead to dead ends.  Based on the consistently decreasing quality of their records, seeing  how it could possibly get worse is the one thing worth anticipating for  their future material.

Music & Memory raises over $1500 at annual fundraiser

Ball State University student organization Music & Memory held its annual ‘A Night to Remember’ fundraiser on Nov. 14th in Pruis Hall, raising a total of $1550 for the cause. Music & Memory is a student service group with the mission of bringing personalized music to nursing home residents, with an emphasis on dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. The team of volunteers uses an array of different multimedia devices, like headphones, iPods, mp3 players, speakers and any other way they can get music out to senior citizens suffering from cognitive disorders. The fundraising event Wednesday night offered a large portion of musical and variety acts including the Ball State University Singers, Flute Guild and Ladies Choice. The fundraising opportunities included a raffle and split-the-pot, and amassed enough money to sustain the group through the rest of the academic year.
