Snow Patrol
Tell me: Have you run out and bought the new Snow Patrol - Eyes Open album yet? If no: Why the fuck not?!?!?!
OMG, it's amazing. I cannot blather on enough about how freaking awesome this album is. I first listened to it over the loudspeakers at a ice cream parlour, made a first pass judgment of pretty cool. That's pretty neat. Then, took it home and listened for real. No, not pretty neat. Try fucking awesome. Emo kids, listen up: Chasing Cars is your new anthem. Serious-fucking-ly. It reeks of love and happiness and I'm all over that train. (PS I'm a little agitated I can't link the title names grrrr).
You are all that I have - chorus = beautiful. I love the background guitar and harmonies of the chorus. The break is phenom with the guitar. Also = lyrics = indie emo greatness.
Hands Open - little harder. By god, this reminds me of something. People please tell me what it sounds like. PLEASE. It's driving me nutcase.
Chasing cars - see above.
Shut your eyes - whoa, what is that? Bells? Keys? Background choir?! I'm sold.
Etc. I love that the cd has both "Open Your Eyes" and "Shut Your Eyes" as song titles, sounds like a reviewers nightmare. I love how each song has a slightly different feel with different instruments and rythmns. It's not the same churned up stuff in every song. The only thing that's lame? Special UK bonus tracks. HEY! I went and bought the cd as soon as i knew it was out. Why are you punishing me for being in the US? HMMM!? The Killers did that also with
The Killers - Indie Rock and Roll. You know I almost didn't get into the Killers because I listened to the cd online and couldn't find that song on there. I had seen them live (before they sold out people, BEFORE - don't get me started on 50 minute shows) and that was my favorite song. I finally figured out to coughdownloadcough that song after I bought the real album.
OH! Other purchases of the day: Phoenix - new cd, and The Reindeer Section (not son of evil reindeer, the other one with the long name I'm blanking on), and mariah taylor. Overall, good music purchase day! :)
