I send my continued humble apologies to the creators of the iconic NOW series. Their compilations began in 1983. I posted and compiled the first WOW That’s What I Call Mayhem collection back in March 2024. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 followed in August and September. So you must be ready for volume 5, right? I certainly hope so, because here it is! This includes the last 20 singles we reviewed in 2024 in another maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With nearly 70 minutes of music, click the Spotify link below and lose yourself in the music!

“Hollywood Forever” – Hollywood Undead October 24, 2024

t is sixteen years since Hollywood Undead released their first album and I am ashamed to say they have passed me by until now. But their new single “Hollywood Forever” has brought me on board with a huge bang. Arguably the genre that Johnny 3 Tears, Funny Man, Charlie Scene, Danny, and J-Dog fit into is rap rock. But they are so much more than that. This track has rap rock elements but adds to that grunge, emo, nu-metal, and pop-punk. This song’s passion, emotion, and soul hit beyond peak levels. It rocks like a bastard full of soulful angst. I think it is about the support and healing power that Hollywood Undead has for and from their fans and for themselves. Lyrics like “So what about the kid that got off the ledge,
and all the people saved by Hollywood Undead, if I could save just one kid, I’ll keep this mask on as long as I live” prove this point in my opinion. This is a powerhouse of a single and deserves to be a huge hit. Make it so good people of the blogosphere!
