I got (downloaded) a couple albums to pass my time/entertain me while studying in the last week and a half or so, and all seem to warrent a similar reaction. They all had good qualities to them, but they all disappointed me in some ways.

First I checked out Boy Hits Car - The Passage, as it's the bands newest release and the first in a few years. They seem to have lost their aggressive edge, lumping them in with legions of bad, Three Days Gracey type bands.

I moved to HIM - Uneasy Listening, Vol. 1, which is no new album at all (hopefully this isn't why they cancelled their tour) but rather a bunch of demo releases mixed with new dubs and remixes...it was disappointing, although some tracks did benefit from the touch ups.

Finally, I'm still working through Incubus - Light Grenades. Not too sure what to make of this one yet, I was impressed with their last outing, but this one...I dunno, something just doesn't feel right; mind you, it is growing on me and is going to take a few more listenings to wrap my head around it.

Any suggestions on what to check out next? I'm getting insanely bored with my music these days.
