CDs I've Been Digging Lately

August Burns Red - Leveler

I'm surprised by how much I like this. I thought it was only okay before. But it's grown on me. There's something I really like about his scream. The production is fantastic. The tones on the guitars and vocals are what makes this CD worth listening to. The song writing structure is pretty good too. Not your typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. But those aspects only come out during a whole listen through. And repeated listens. I have no idea what this guy is singing about. But it sounds good.

blink 182 - Neighborhoods

Woe, is Me - Number[s]

Skrillex - Bangarang

He makes dubstep interesting. It's similar, but different enough to remain fun the whole time. And since it's only an EP, it doesn't overstay it's welcome. And damn it, it is fun. 

Sleeping With Sirens - With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear

Protest the Hero - Fortress

When I say I dig them, I like to put on the starts of each CD and let it play through. Leveler is kinda long too.
