Just a guy from NYC who is super into Weezer, Beastie Boys, Beach Boys, Selena, Ozma, The Rentals, and Limp Bizkit. Also a huge fan of yakuza movies and the Yakuza video game series. Used to play guitar when I was in high school, but then stopped because I never got past the noob level lol. Twin Peaks, The Office (US), The Office (UK), and Arrested Development are my favorite shows ever. Mass Effect is the best sci-fi series ever. Also, Deadly Premonition on the Switch is odd yet hilarious.

Matthew Ramos's Album Reviews

Private Eyes is possibly the definitive Hall & Oates album. It contains two of their biggest hits, "Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go For That", along with the minor hit, "Your Imagination". This album is groovy, danceable, iconic, and even the more mellow moments make you want to get up and boogie! It almost plays out like a greatest hits album in its own right. Of course, Daryl Hall's singing here elevates the songs to great heights, and the two songs where John Oates sings lead are fantastic as well. The rhythm section were on fire on this album, and the saxophone playing will make you wish you played sax. This album is the perfect soundtrack for a nightclub after dark.
