Welcome Back!
Well hello everyone (the two that read this anyway). I know it's been a long long time. It's been just as busy. Catie moved to State College to pursue her Masters in Rural Soc and I am stuck in Shrewsbury right now. Keep checking back for a string of post coming up about what I did if you care. For now though I thought that for now though that I'd let you know of some awesome music that has come out.
Three albums that have made me happy:
First we have Every Time I Die's: New Junk Aesthetic. This album (along with the other two in this post) is amazing. It's got the standard ETID feel to it, but is almost a perfect mix of their hardcore style and southern rock styling that they have been leaning towards with recent albums. From the opening track (Roman Holiday) where they use only about 3 chords and stay pretty slow to the steady beat and harcore feel of After One Quater of a Revolution. This albums never really lost me. One of my favorites from them. If you have enjoyed the past two albums from ETID or even if you enjoyed them years ago then check this out.
Now onto Converge's: Axe to Fall. What can you say that hasn't already been said about Converge? Not to much. I haven't met someone that has not fallen in love with this album. And from all three members of Genghis Tron who wrote and played on it to Steve von Till of Neurosis who plays keyboards on the last track and members of Cave who also contribute to the album you can see why. It's been said that this is their best work since Jane Doe and I have to agree. Check this out no matter what type of metal or hardcore or whatever you listen to.
Finally for these three albums is Between the Buried and Me's: The Great Misdirect. This album is the bands follow up to their album Colors. It follows suit with only 6 tracks which range from 3 minuets to 17 minuets a piece. BTBAM once again move from one style of music to another with easy sometimes within one track or just from one track to another. That being said, as of right now and only about 3 or 4 listens under my belt I like Colors more right now. Don't get me wrong, this is a great album so far and Colors also grew on me to the point of loving every second of listening to it. Right now this album is just missing that special something that Colors has. You should still give this a couple listens though. Make sure you have the time to listen to it in one sitting.
So there is something for you to read. I'll have more soon hopefully. Enjoy.
