Back again. Let's get a few things out of the way here first:
Now, i've never really been a fan of this guy or his music, but his new album is just amazing. I can't really say if it's his best album(because I haven't heard his older stuff, obvious ****), but I can say that it's definitely one of the best albums of the year. Not THE best for those who will assme I said that, but one of them. 2006 isn't over yet folks. But getting back on track, there are a few repetitive tracks and uneccessary references, but fortunately, there are so few of these on this record. I know many people hate rap, and Ice, but if you don't, Laugh Now, Cry Later is, in my opinion, an excellent pick.
Second:
Decemberunderground is AFI's newest release in 3 years, and compared to Sing the Sorrow's blaring loud sound, it feels watered down as you move on track by track. Maybe they're trying to span out their style while retaining some punk in the music, or maybe they just want a darker feel to every album they release. But either way you look at it, Decemberunderground is at best a good, but not great, album. Ever since Black Sails In the Sunset, they've seemed to evolve into a different style. That can be a good thing, but it can also be bad. It's your decision.
And sorry Tool, but it looks like The Outsider just might be the best album of the year.
And yes, I am that much of a fanboy of his work. Sad, I know. So shut up.
So anyway, what is the good news this month? Oh, I dunno.....how about another failure for Bush? I don't really care about this sort of news, since it doesn't affect me, but it's nice to see that this still is America after all.
And since we're on politics, let's talk about the "most frightening movie you'll probably ever see by far":
We all know that Al Gore is a left-wing Democrat, so it doesn't surprise me that he himself, or someone else, would do a film about global warming and how we're destroying the earth and such. I haven't seen the movie myself, but since it's getting outstanding acclaim, i'm more compelled to see it.....not to metion scared as well.
Do I really need to tell you not to see this uneccessary remake? The only viable reason this was made is because of the date, 6.6.06.......and because Hollywood is running out of ideas. It's been getting some mixed reviews, but most of the signs point to no. Follow those signs.
And lastly:
I don't really know why I want to see this particular film, but maybe it's because I like MPR, National Public Radio. It may not be based on that show altogether, but my guess is that it's pretty damn close. It might just be on my Top 50 list this year.
So I think i've run out of things to talk about......meh. All you need to know is this:
Aqua Teen Hunger Force kicks your ass:
