Perfect Albums?
Now these are not my favorite albums, just albums which don't have a bad song on them. Coincidentally, Underoath is on here twice.
Warped Tour
Although there was no way I was going to miss A Skylit Drive, I wouldn't say they were the best show. I would have to say that Underoath put on the best show out of everyone. They played with passion and unrelenting energy. They opened with Breathing in a New Mentality which was the perfect song to start with. Those opening drums are just there to pump you up. "I'm the desperate and you're the savior. I'm the desperate and you're the savior". Then the song just launches and then crowd goes wild. I disloacted my shoulder during their set trying to help someone crowd surf. Last time I do that. After their concert I'm pretty convinced that they are really that good. Lost in the Sound of Seperation might actually be my favorite CD of '08, even in front of Wires...and the Concept of Breathing. Just, the emotion in that CD is amazing.
The Greatest Metalcore Band
Upon further reflection, I found would have to say The Devil Wears Prada was a better show than A Skylit Drive. They were just so good and played all the songs I wanted to hear.
They put on one good show.
This is not to say by any means that A Skylit Drive was bad. They were really good. They had energy and were fun. I guess I was just so dissapointed because they didn't play any She Watched the Sky. Although, that makes sense I guess. I wouldn't expect Underoath to play anything from The Changing of Times or anything. It's just She Watched the Sky is just so much better than anything else by A Skylit Drive and Underoath made good CDs after Dallas left.

Concerts
For my birthday, I'm seeing my biggest music crush of all time. Priscilla Ahn. Zomg. She's so amazing. Her songs are just captivating. And she's so pretty. Oh my. Kate actually bought my ticket for me for my birthday. I'm staying at her house to see her in LA. I'm so excited.
Let the anticipation build.

Adelphia: One Day After
I can happily say that I am very very happy with Adelphia. My favorites after a three or four listens have been Prelude to a Dream and See You Around. Both tracks have amazing endings. Prelude has a really catchy chorus. I also really like Children of Adelphia, Those Cannons and Eva. The other tracks are no slouches though. The keyboard is much more involved in this outing than in Wires. It’s refreshing. Still no bass from Brian though, although he never really did do anything. The guitars have improved leaps and bounds however. And Jag is really good on this CD. Vocals were always an important part of ASD and Jag does really well.

I’m totally downloading it right now. EEEEE, I’m so excited. Although, I haven’t heard amazing things. But that’s what they said about last album. And I’m already so down with their other tracks.
In love. <3
