Didn't expect to like it that much.Thought I was over them, but not. God damn can Jeremy McKinnon write a pop punk song.
I think it helps that it felt like a real genuine album. Not Produced, but right from the heart. I think ADTR has always been about that, but it really shines through on this album.

Sorry Guys
I can't really finish anything. I don't know when I'll get back to listening to those CDs. Wanna know why?
Cause I can't get over these CDs:
Bring Me The Horizon's There Is a Hell.
If the title of the CD was There Is a Hell rather than that long ass title, it would be way better. But god this CD is amazing. Just like Suicide Season.
Pierce the Veil.
Both of their CDs are really good. Like really really good. I like Selfish Machines a lot, but I have a real special place for A Flair for the Dramatic. Both CDs are pretty emo, but the lyrics are pretty complicated. I still can't say that I understand what every song on Flair means. I understand phrases, but as a whole? It's hard to figure out. But that what's fun about it.
and as if I didn't like them enough, two new CDs dropped of two of my absolutely favorite artists.
A Day to Remember
What Separates Me From You is phenomenal. It's kinda short (only 10 songs 31minutes) but all of those ten songs are great. They all have that familiar ADTR pop sensibility and that hardcore other half. The CD is split pretty much evenly between faster, more hardcore screamy songs("Sticks and Bricks", "2nd Sucks", "You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic") and the heavy pop punk songs. But guess what, the pop punk songs are the best (All I Want, It's Complicated, The House that Doubt Built, Better Off This Way, Out of Time). I don't see myself stopping listening to this record anytime soon. Except to listen to Kanye West's.
Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has been in the works for a while. While I loved 808's & Heartbreaks, I wasn't quite sure where Kanye would go. He made the record he wanted to and I admired him for it. But his first two albums were obviously superior than the next two and I was wondering if Kanye was finished. But then "Power" came out and I believed in him again. And guess what? All that faith was rewarded. It's great. His production is amazing once again, making almost every song have a beat that will get my head bobbing and bass lines that get stuck in my head. And the CD isn't short either, like his other two masterpieces with 12 songs coming out to a little over an hour. "Runaway" clocks in at 9 minutes and 8 seconds and "Blame Game" is 7:50 long. His songs as they appear on the record are not radio friendly. Yet, they will be cut and butchered to be played on the radio because they're that good.

Four Year Strong

I don't know how I feel about it yet. It's like A Day to Remember mixed with Rise Against. I've been digging it so far.....I've made up my mind. It's terrible music. But I can't help but listen to it. Possibly to death.

A Day To Remember
ADTR put this out yesterday. It has two songs that I wanted, Homesick and Another Song For The Weekend in acoustic versions. I downloaded them and I have to say that they are fantastic. I enjoy listening to them. I also have been glued to A Day To Remember lately. I just downloaded For Those Who Heart and I realized, it's just as good as Homesick, if not better. I really really liked Homesick. The album means a lot to me because of the time of my life that I found it. I'm just as pleased to find out that their older outing kicks as much ass and is just as catchy. It's nice to know.
But for all that I've been listening to them, I've also been into Radiohead. This time, I'm not listening to In Rainbows. Instead I'm listening to the Pitchfork album of the decade. It's good. Really good. The song National Anthem is a song you should, as declared by me; yesterday. Anyway, the keyboards, the voice, the haunting noise. It's album about noise sounding good, as Thom Yorke won't publish his lyrics.
But all this other music is distracting me. I should be listening to Between the Buried and Me. The Great Misdirect is a fantastic album, don't get me wrong. I've just been distracted. I need to listen to it more. I'm just starting to learn the album and being able to appreciate it for how awesome it really is.
People are saying it's not as good as Colors. Colors truly is a godly album. Is this one too? I can't tell yet. I'd like to make my own decision about it though.
