8/10

although lyrically it caters to a younger audience (low 20's) perhaps, musically it's good and diverse. going from a folk sound (I Will Follow...) to a 70ish mellow sound (Your Heart Is An Empty Room) all while being totally accesible to a varied audience. great stuff and a nice surprise.

Just bought it last night, great for the drive home.
Best album I bought all year :icon14:

good purchase!

p.s. did you mean 2005?

trueth be told, for 2005...
I'm very happy with the new Weezer album,:paranoid:
( despite the first 2 shitty singles "Beverly Hills" and "We are all on Drugs" I hate those songs, worst on the album. ) the rest of the album is brilliant, Rivers lyrics are at top form. one of their best...IMHO.

Classic; Debussy La mer

DJ Tiesto - Magik Vol. 2 : Story of the Fall
8/10

Genre : Trance

I've always been a fan of tiesto so i was pretty certain i'd enjoy this set. it's an old one from 1998 but still passes as something you could easily hear and enjoy today. in fact it was nostalgic to hear some old classics such as Binary Finary's 1998 or Taucher's Water. i'm not to certain how it compares to the other magiks as i've only heard this one and the first one but one thing is for certain it's of the high quality you'd expect from tiesto, especially if you're more into his earlier stuff like me.

After listening to it, I was completely happy I bought this album even new at full price.

P.S. He was the lead singer of Soul Coughing, so if you liked their sound check it out - he was their sound.

Great fucking album. :icon14:
I went to a Mike Doughty concert earlier this year. Took some shitty photos...

Iron Maiden - Killers.

10/10 One of my all time favorite albums.

I can agree with that, although The Number of The Beast realsed a year later I think is just as good.

Beast is definately top of the list as well. :icon14:

Nice. I was googling for tour dates the other day and ran across this:

The gf and I were this close to saying fuck it and going, but I'm in hardcore saving mode right now.

interesting. pretty tough to compare the two though. DiAnno and Dickensen are so different.

I'm not really comparing, I'm just saying that when it comes to Maiden, most people cite one of those as one of their favorites. I'm relatively on the fence, they're both great albums consisting of most of the better Maiden songs.

actually, the interesting bit was your music preferences - the stuff you posted earlier, then chiming in about Maiden. i mean that as a compliment of course.

and to be honest, i'm not sure i could pin a favorite Iron Maiden album.

Oh, I listen to a lot of different shit. I don't know, music is an art I can appreciate and enjoy.

Edit: I'd take a good album over a good movie any day.

Arcade Fire: Funeral

22/10

One of the best bands...ever. this album is 100% from start to finish.

Lol, I had never heard of the band so I looked for a review...first sentence of the review on All Music Guide:

"The Arcade Fire are not an emo band."

Sounds like it's worth a listen. Recent bands are becoming so terrible that now I'm starting to assosciate Indie as a euphamism for Emo

Edit: I gave it a listen...8/10. It's a good consistent album, but there aren't really that many songs that immediately stand out to me above the others. I also marked it down a point or so because it seems to love orientated...not that most people would care, it's more of a personal thing - I'm only 18, I don't want to hear about love. I'd rather listen to too fast/young for love Motley Crue anthems and the womanizing ballads of Slick Rick or Necro.

Dark Side of the Moon:Pink Floyd.
10/10

Classic

hm. *googles*

edit: Marco Minneman - he's german, so he rules by default, but his drumming is stellar, trust me on this one.

I don't really get that:

"The first year and half of the performance was total silence, with the first chord — G-sharp, B and G-sharp — not sounding until February 2, 2003."

How can be considered a single performance if they only play a chord every year or so?

hehe i guess thats what the sheet music says so thats enough really

so yea the book says

Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns
