Album: Pipe Dreams - Mark Salling

Here's Mark Salling's (Puck) new album, Pipe Dreams. According to some unconfirmed reports, this is the reason why his character was suspended for two episodes - conflicts with his contract (?). Interestingly, Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) is also doing an album and his character, according to reports, will take a time off for Episode 6 and 7. Thus, a substitute teacher played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Anyway, don't fret because Puck will be back the week after The Rocky Horror Glee Show and he’s featured a ton in that episode - it’s basically all about him.

As for his album, it's a bit different than what I was expecting from him. That said, I think that this record got a good mix of jazz, rock and a 60’s folk-beat era sound. Now, is the record any good? Maybe. Although, I'm not so sure if I'm the right person to answer that because this is the type of album that caters to a specific market and, to be honest, I don't think I'm one of them. I'll just let you decide for yourself. Enjoy!

Music: Higher Power - Mark Salling

Mark Salling, yes, Glee's Puck is about to release an album entitled, Pipe Dream, which will be available everywhere in America on October 12, 2010.

Now, I love myself some Glee - and Puck included - but this track is not good. I'm sorry. It’s just not the sort of thing that fits in ANYWHERE. It’s not current/pop. It’s not R&B or rap. It’s not rock, country, or just anything people usually listen to. It’s just completely irrelevant to modern music. His vocals are double-tracked to beef them up, but he still sounds terrible. The nasally tone of his voice did sound so affected and the double tracking of his voice is really amateurish. Oh, and don't get me started with that weird phrasing. The production sounds really old-fashioned too. I don't know. Sorry.
