"That's not what we're fighting for"

Happy H-A-LL-O............WEEN!!!!!!!

How's everybody doing? Good, I hope. My life sucks, but we already know that. Picked up two new CDs. One being the new Story of the Year and the other is Thrice.

Let's start with SotY. The album just kicks ass!! You can tell because I used TWO exclaimation points. There are only 2 slow songs on the entire CD, one of them being a hidden track. The other slow song is like 'Anthem of our Dying Day' on their first CD, Page Avenue. It starts slow, but picks up as the song goes on. All the other songs are just hardcore rocking out. If you liked the faster songs on Page Avenue, then you'll definitely like this album. Assuming you don't nit-pick the shit out of it. There's also written commentary in the booklet along with lyrics. It's kind of like what Linkin Park did with their second album, Meteora, except SotY went one step further and included comment from every member of the band. So you basically get to hear what every member thought about on each song. Pretty sweet idea.

Switching over to Thrice in 3...2...1...Go!
I'm kinda not feeling this album at all. I'm a noob fan to Thrice, so I'm not sure if this is how they sounded on the their first two albums, but it's mostly slow songs. I started listening to them when I picked up their third album, Artist in the Ambulance, so I got use to that album and the music on it. When I got Vhessiu and listened to it, I couldn't get into it. It's filled with slow songs and I was hoping for something more, I guess. Maybe I need to give it more time, but right now I think it sucks. We shall see.

Until then...

So, how's life? Mine's been pretty good. Just moving along until I die. Been listening to a few CDs that I've just picked up and been having for awhile.

8stops7 - In Moderation
-This a good album if you're into rock music. They're not really hard rock, but at the same time not really soft rock. They're somewhere in between. If that makes sense to anyone. :/

Trapt - Someone in Control
-Another good album. Too bad it's short. 11 songs and two of them barely over 4 minutes.

Staind - Chapter V
-Great album. Pretty much like their albums before. You have your slow songs then you also have your fast songs.

Shadows Fall - The War Within
-I LOVE this album. The guitars, bass, and drums are really sweet. Pick this up if you're into metal.

Started a mission to finish all the games I have. It's going to be a really long process because I'm in school and, well, school just cuts into my playing time. Damn school! Anyway, I just started Doom 3 for the PC and it's sweet. Can't wait to get the shit scared out of me later in the game, but I'm sure I'll love it.

Until then...
