So it's been a while since I've blogged anything. Not much to say and I've been staying fairly busy so there are my excuses. merchants first show is in a month, pretty stoked on that. I'll be 28 in 2 weeks, not stoked on that...at all.
let's move on to some music. two main albums have come out in the past two weeks that are phenomenal and should be on your list...unless you hate good music, then please ignore.
first, lamb of god's new album is everything you would expect from them with just enough new changes to keep it from sounding like one of their previous albums. they open the album with a sludge/doom metal track and closes with the grandiose "king me", an almost 7 minute track with one of the best string tracks I've heard on a metal album. check it out below.
The Jealous Sound is back! After years off, they reunited (it's all the rage these days) and went back into the studio to release a proper follow up to 2003's Kill Them With Kindness. I'll admit, i was a bit worried about how it would turn out but after one listen to their first single, i knew it would be great. I have a hard time describing the jealous sound's sound but it's a good mix between 90's emo and rock. Always great, introspective lyrics that seem to apply to just you and everyone at the same time. Change You is one of my favorites off of the album, check it out below. Also, they have wolves on the album cover, can't really beat that.
For those that aren't metal or emo fans, check out First Aid Kit's Lion's Roar. I've been listening to them a lot lately. it's good folk, acoustic music along the lines of Mumford & Sons and Bright Eyes. Actually, Conor Oberst was involved in a couple of songs off the album and the album was produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, M. Ward) so that should give you an idea of the talent involved in the album.
So there you go, three different albums with three completely different styles, pick your poison. Hope every one is doing well. Much love.
