Eve 6 was kind of a cool band back at the beginning.

Speaking of which, I've been really enjoying the new album.



This song has the great line "despite all my rage I'm just a rat in a cage". If only BC could write lyrics as good as that...

Meh. I listened to the new record a couple times and didn't care for it. It's too poppy...in a bad way. Like they're trying to fit into the small "rock" niche of top 40 radio right now. They've always been pop rock, but the first record was punkier. It had just enough of a pop sound. Now it's too poppy for me.

^^ LOL it's too poppy in a bad way. I just laughed in front of a group of people and they're all looking at me like I'm a freak.

It is very poppy, but I don't mind that, they do it well. In terms of pace and general tone, the new album feels a lot like Horrorscope (which is my favourite of their old albums), but they've replaced the heavier guitars of that album with a more synth-driven sound. Catchy as hell, I'm loving it.

I sifted through the Marked to check out that Earth Stood Still song. Really liked it. See why it's the close.

It's the last day of class and we turned in all projects and papers and our professor is still lecturing. Everyone in class has been up all night working on their papers and he's still lecturing.

Wow, that sucks. Everyone's probably ready to take a nap, haha

And holy shit. Adam Yaunch died.

Poor guy, he was only 47. :(

I still can't believe he passed away. The guy was an inspiration. May his memory live on. RIP.

I remember I had a "highventure" one time and I ended up gazing at stars in a field listening to Glynis and Obscured. It was such a nice night. That's a cool playlist.

New SSPU is really good. Some songs are a tad slower then what they've done in the past..Brian also sings a little different I feel. It's probably one of my favorite releases by them.

Jazz is great, especially piano, guitar, and drum driven Jazz is, brass makes my head hurt after awhile.

Anyway, this weekend I played every Splinter Cell back to back : Stealth Action Redefined, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Convictions. Splinter Cell, is the best Video Game Franchise ever, Metal Gear Solid too corny, Splinter Cell is believable.
I don't mean to hurt anyone, I'm just speaking my personal opinion.

I used to love Splinter Cell. The second one's my favourite. I have Conviction but only played it for about ten minutes.
