New album: Anywhere But Here.

Pretty new. It came out On October 6th. I ordered it
via Amazon. Of course, it was suppose to take 2
days but actually took 6 days. I was REALLY excited
for this CD. I love Mayday Parade. A Lesson In 
Romantics is another one of those top albums of
mine.

Sadly, the lead vocalist Jason Lancaster left
the band shortly after Lesson was released and
Derek Sanders took over lead vocals. I think this
hurt them. Lancaster has a voice that is a little
different from the others singers that are out
there today but Sanders sounds a bit generic.
However, their lyrics are still really good, so I'm
glad they have that going for them at least.

I hate it when bands release their second album
and it doesn't live up to what I expect at all. I
hate being disappointed by my favorite bands.
However if you're interested it more of
Lancaster, he is now the lead vocalist for
Go Radio. Once I get their EP, I'll probably
do a review of it. So be excited! Anyway.
Like I said, Anywhere is pretty much the
generic, emo/pop-punk stuff that's out
currently. Good lyrics but other then that,
they aren't really anything to get excited
over at this point in time. I was even
considering driving all the way to Cleveland
again to see them on tour with The Academy
Is... but they aren't worth and I don't really
like TAI's new stuff either. Double not worth.
But check it out if you haven't already.
And definitely check out Go Radio.

Top Three Songs:
Kids In Love.
Anywhere But Here.
Save Your Heart.
(Still Breathing is pretty good as well).

"Save your heart,
For someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away.
Save your heart,
For someone who leaves you breathless.
And I know that you're scared.
Seems like someone said you had it in you.
All along you said you knew this was wrong,
But still worth dying for."

New album: Daisy.

It's not really "new". It's been out for a month.
But this is new and I do what I want. Anyway.
At first, I was not a fan. I listened to their
single "At The Bottom" on their MySpace and
wasn't really impressed at first. I think that has
more to do with what I think Brand New is as a
band. Your Favorite Weapon and Deja Entendu
are literally in my top 10 favorite albums, Deja
being number 1. When The Devil And God Are
Raging Inside Of Me came out, I wasn't as thrilled
about it. I really loved "Jesus Christ" but
everything else I was a little 'eh'.

But all of that changed when I went to Cleveland
to see Brand New (a five hour drive at that).
Literally the best show I've ever seen.
No joke. And actually hearing "At The Bottom"
live along with many others from the new album
definitely changed my perception of the whole
thing. Jesse Lacey's voice just makes everything
sound amazing. And when he sang "Okay,
I Believe You..." every single person at the venue
knew the words and it was just a surreal
experience.

I also like to add that Manchester Orchestra was
also unbelievably amazing. Andy Hull has such
a raw voice. And it's really not what you expect
from a man with such an epic beard. When they
performed "The River", it was absolutely
incredible. I remember turning around to my
friend and just saying 'Wow.' But I digress.

Daisy as an album is pretty ridiculously good. I
may have a slight soft spot for Brand New but I
really enjoy Lacey's overall vocals as well as
lyrics. It's very obvious the band has matured
as a whole but it still has the essence which
makes the band Brand New. His voice sounds
a lot different and at first I was a little
reluctant but I'm enjoying the route they are
going with their music. And actually seeing
them live and listening to Daisy, I've begun to
like The Devil And God a whole lot more.
Overall, I definitely recommend this CD to
EVERYONE, if you know what's good for you.

Top Three Favorite Songs from Daisy:
Vices
At The Bottom
Daisy

"I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows its face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say..."

Beginnings.

"I got my disease when I was young.
I put my records on, and around I spun.
It's been that way for years,
But now I've grown tired."

Well, I'm not really sure how to go about doing this.

I feel like I can just talk and that will be suffice.

I mean, it is what I'm best at...talking.

Actually, I'm typing...but I digress. 

This is the Internet, they are one in the same. 

Anyway, I digress. I've been wanting to do this for

a long time. Finally, I "conquered" by desire at six 

in the morning due to my inabilities to sleep like

a normal person. 

Well, here is what I want to do with all of this.

That's to talk about music. My utmost love in life. 

Other then the mandatory loved ones. I'm not really 

going to dive into it at this point but I just want

to get the word out that this shit is going down. 

Side note: I tend to curse. So I really hope that 

doesn't offend anyone. If so, let me know.

I want to hear others' opinions. I like arguing, 

so bring it on please. I just want people to love 

what I love and to understand why they need to love it.

I also plan on adding a streaming radio...

(once my boyfriend fixes it for me). I can function 

a little better then the average Internet user but 

my boyfriend does have to tackle the big stuff since 

he is a genius. 

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this and I really 

hope it works out.

Good night/morning.
