Calling it Now

This album will be very good. From what I've heard of Bulls in the Bronx and King for a Day, Pierce the Veil is going to once again, kill it.

No Matter What You Think

Say what you want about Pierce the Veil's music, the amount that they tour and love their fans is amazing.

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.

Last night

And this morning, I was graced by several tracks that just felt perfect. Pierce the Veil with "Drella" and then Emarosa's new CD just sounded perfect. Then this morning with Pierce the Veil's A Flair for the Dramatic, the first 3 songs just fit really well. I don't know. I can't really explain it.

Whenever I listen to the opening track of Emarosa's self-titled, I just think "Michael Jordan performance"

Writing about Music

Writing about Music is like dancing about architecture.

Shit. That means this blog is useless.

Best band at Warped: Bring Me the Horizon. Then Pierce the Veil. But I also really enjoyed Alesana and Emarosa. You Me at Six was good. I liked that Oli came on to help them. Especially the face he was making. He looked drunkkk.

Yea, I'm really liking Pierce the Veil's new CD, Selfish Machines. Granted, the lyrics are really personal, almost bordering on the edge of over dramatic. But it's always been said to write what you know, so Vic can't be faulted for doing that. He seems to know a lot of about relationships. The CD title is in reference to how people are selfish animals when it comes to feelings and relationships. They only take for themselves.

Of all the songs, "The Boy Who Could Fly" is the best track of the CD. It's suppose to be coming from punk roots, something evident in Mike's really fast kick drumming. It's not double bass, it takes more talent then that. His drums rolls through the chorus are really well placed. The guitar riffs during this song are really good. The picking during the chorus is especially cool. Then, coming out of the first chorus, the chugging that it does it good, feeling that the song is about to take off. It's all well placed palm mutes with open chords every second or third strum. The emotional crescendo at the line "because without you there is no me" is paralleled by little else in the CD, after which the guitars really break down.

The Timbre of a Voice

I do have many things to talk about in music. Though I don't really know how to connect them all. Firsssst.
Well, let's take the best voices in music (save maybe Anthony Green) and make them all do harmonies together. Yes, Jonny Craig, Craig Owens and Vic Fuentas all sound fantastic together. I want a fully produced and finished E.P. I demand it.
Jonny Craig. Jonny Jonny Jonny. What an amazing vocalist. He's emphatic and passionate. His solo project's CD should be good. I'm really digging the song Istillfeelher Part III. Let's hope the rest is just as good. It's also too bad he messes up bands.
This CD is amazing. Jonny here isn't the main focus, rather an intricate part of the entire package. He's so amazing. Yet Jonathon Mess's screaming is also standout and incredible here. So good.
Speaking of Isles and Glaciers, this CD is also very good. I can't wait for the new one.
Speaking of really good CDs, this one is fucking amazing as well. The lyrics are happily insightfully angsty. The music is fast and fun. I need to listen to more things like this. Let's talk about the stuff I'm listening that's bad.
Bad Romance is a catchy song, what can I say?
