5 comments about All I Intended to Be.

1. This is a very short review. I wanted to make a comment regarding those people who find the sad, soulful music in the album to be a "downer" and speak of winding down and such. I've been cheated on and divorced more than once, I've broken so many bones in my back I am in constant pain. My son went through a windshield and is in a coma these last 8 years. My father died, perhaps by overdosing on the morphine they gave him for the pain in his gut and now my mother is slowly dying. In the pit of despair, real pain, and real sorrow, the soft clear voice of Emmylou Harris telling of life, death and other people's pain has smoothed my brow and calmed my sinking heart. You don't always need or want a ho-down or a driving bass. Sometimes you really need to sit down and listen to great beauty lifting you away from your pain. That's all.



2. Emmylou Harris can do no wrong! All she needs to do is open her mouth and something beautiful is bound to be heard.



3. I have always enjoyed Emmylou's music, especially her ballads. On most CD's there may be one or two cuts that are just so so but not this one. I love all the songs. They really make you think about life and relationships. "Sailing Round the Room" is really thought provoking. I found this CD to be very spiritual. It was also nice to see that she wrote many of the songs. If you are looking for music that will make you think about life, this is it.

4. HAVING BEEN A FAN OF EMMYLOU SINCE PIECES OF THE SKY, HER FIRST ALBUM, I HAVE HEARD THIS WOMAN GROW AND DEVELOP INTO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTIST AROUND. WITH THIS ALBUM SHE HAS CREATED A MASTERPIECE WORK! SONGS LIKE "NOT ENOUGH" WHICH I INTERPERT AS A SONG ABOUT GRAM PARSONS, I COULD BE WRONG BUT THATS JUST MY FEELING. "GOLD" IS MAJESTIC, AS IS "HOLD ON". EVERY SINGLE SONG ON THIS ALBUM IS EXQUISITE BUT THE MASTERSTROKE IS "SAILING ROUND THE ROOM" IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST WORK EMMYLOU HAS EVER RECORDERD ALONG WITH KATE AND ANNA SINGING BACKGROUND VOCALS THIS SONG IS A TREASURE...WHAT MAKES THIS LP REAL SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS TOTALLY OUT OF STEP WITH THE PURE GARBAGE OF TODAY'S MUSIC...EMMYLOU IS A GENUIS WHO HAS GROWN WITH EACH ALBUM SHE RECORDS



5. I am entirely grateful to finally find a relaxing modern album. Thank you for this introspective and sublime music--let this set a precedent for a decaying recording industry that focuses too much on image and not enough on quality or substance in art. Art should touch human beings on a much deeper, often inexplicable, yet intuitive level.

1. Put it in, Turn up the volume, and Enjoy your vacation. Sigur Ros has this uncanny ability to warp the world around you, and it it well demonstrated in their latest album. Very few things get me in a better mood in the morning.



2. this album just shows how much a band can change direction while keeping their own style. i think that some fans might be upset that these songs are less like what they've heard before from sigur ros, but change can clearly be a good thing. if you need evidence of how the band has changed their approach, see the last song. it's in english and you can even kind of understand some of it.
   every song here is fantastic anyway, so even if you like the "old" sigur ros and are worried about the new, you should give this album a chance.



3. You hear the exotic words uttered in a poignantly musical rhythm, feeling reborn. There was the symphony, the beat of life.



4. The lead track Gobbledigook, is much different from anything we've heard from Sigur Ros in the past, but different in a very good way. The rest of the cuts from this album are closer to what we are used to hearing from the group, and just as great. I'm hoping to catch them on their current tour.



5. I love this album. It stirs my soul, opening my Heart to the Joy that is infused in their music.

5 comments about Raising Sand.

1. "Raising Sand" is the haunting and brilliant collaboration between Robert Plant and Allison Krauss; it opens with my favorite track - the Sam Phillips song "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us", which quickly demonstrates that there's a lot more going on here than the "Led Zeppelin goes Country" preconception that the notion of these two artists working together conjures up. The album continues with track after track enjoyment and surprise. This is yet another triumph for producer T Bone Burnett, who has incisively crafted a breath-taking soundscape, supported by some of the finest musicians working today, where the whole is deliriously more than the sum of the parts. It all sounds so effortless that you know it must have been quite the opposite - dreamy and seductive, this is an unexpected classic.



2. I'm a fan of Alison's but I was simply disapointed in the merger of these two artists. The musical spark was not there; however, it looks like it is just in their eyes for one another.



3. I admit the idea seemed kind of silly: matching a rock God with a bluegrass Goddess -- each amazing in their own way but, together? I just wasn't sure.
   But good God almighty, there's some serious magic at work here.
   Haunting, melancholy, harmonious -- hard to describe but there's something divine in the notes. The pairing is odd but works in a way that's really quite amazing. And seeing them live -- whoa!
   If you like deep, moody music (or either of these two musical giants on their own) you must give this album a try. Granted, it's not Zep and it's not Union Station bluegrass -- but that's the point. Together they create something different, a mood... a feeling... an emotion. It's grand. Hurray for the odd pairings! First Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler and now this... Raising Sand? No... Raising the bar!



4. why is there no color at all anywhere on the case or liner notes? It's like viewing the world on a black and white tv set -everything is in various shades of gray. Pretty odd in this day and age to say the least.



5. For nearly 40 year I have been a total fan of Robert Plant, particularly from his Led Zeppelin years. So I was already primed to explore the melding of two amazing voices on this groundbreaking CD. With her creamy, angelic voice, Alison has blended perfectly with Robert's powerful rock god delivery in the most brilliant collaboration I have heard. Ever.
   
   I saw them in concert this past Saturday at Lake Tahoe, and along with over 5,000 other roaringly appreciative fans, was stunned and thrilled with the incredible mastery of these artists and their band. The percussionist Jay Bellerose was a non stop locomotive driving the concert. His energy was jaw dropping. Prowling and owning the stage like the king lion that he is, Robert sang his face off as he rocked out the audience with his stunning set, including "Fortune Teller"; guitar shredding "Nothin'" and another whose title escapes me. He even wailed a little bit which made the audience go nuts! Alison, who stands nearly motionless with such quiet poise on stage delivered chills to the breathless audience as she howled on "Trampled Rose". Even the outdoor venue and less than perfect speakers couldn't dampen her triumph. The mastermind of this collaboration T-Bone Burnett blew us away with his killer guitar performances. Backing up Robert on country or his hard rock songs the band proved that there were no absolutely zero limits to their musicianship. You could see they were having a blast.
   
   Their encore set included the LZ song "When the Levee Breaks" and closed the show with a real hit of nostalgia. Hearing sounds of LZ coming from tailgate parties after the show I was real happy to hear "Whole Lotta Love" which is what Robert always inspires in me. I appreciate this CD even more after seeing them in such an primo concert. Alison Krauss is wonderful. Robert Plant RULES.

5 comments about Indestructible.

1. I have to say that I can't agree with other reviews- I couldn't find that "new sound" and step forward other people found in new Disturbed album. Every single song sounds thesame and for me it is just one of the "I hope it ends soon" album. No offense to the band, which I liked before, but they are just boring with they're new CD. It is true that the vocals are deep and powerful and that they're sound is fast and heavy, but does every song has to be like a part of the other one. I tried to like that album, but it's like a Metallica St. Anger- you try to find something, a little thing that you enjoy, but that feeling quickly fade away.



2. I'm still letting "Indestructible" grow on me. It's a very good album, where "Ten Thousand Fists" was an excellent album. I'm going to be a detail-obsessed nitpicker on why:
   
   Song structures are definitely more metal-oriented (verse chorus verse chorus bridge solo chorus end) and the harmonies are power-chord guitar-driven. It probably doesn't help that I picked up "Ten Thousand Fists" at the same time - and I prefer the earlier album's more technical prowess and looser song structures.
   
   The metal feel of "Indestructible" isn't the same as that on "The Sickness". Draiman sings to Donegan's guitar riffs on all four albums, but it just works better on "Ten Thousand Fists" with the more complex melodies. The bass, guitar, synth and drums coalesce much better on "Ten Thousand Fists", at times supporting Draiman's vocals, at times taking their own lead.
   
   On "Indestructible" its more a duet of voice and guitar, with bass and drum support. Think of it this way - listen to thirty seconds in the middle of every song on each album. On "Indestructible" they all sound very similar, while on the previous three albums you can hear distinctive riffs and hooks that really set each song apart from one another.
   
   You won't be disappointed on this album - its great soundtrack for lifting weights or sparring (or blowing things up on C&C3). I just can't listen to it on repeat like the previous three - and that is my ultimate shibboleth.



3. I like this album, it is well written. I however like 10,000 Fists better. This one is better than the first two.



4. First their was The Sickness. Awesome album, and they had a great nu-metal sound but that genre was pretty much dying out. Then came Believe, the complete opposite of the sickness. and yet as good as The Sickness. Then their was Ten Thousand Fists, a mix of both. In my opinion a Good Alternative metal Album. What does the first 3 albums have in common? Each album sounded different and had stand-out tracks. Where am I going with this?
   
   Well in my opinion this album is their first try at strait up metal album, and their is no stand-out track on this album, the rifts are pretty much the same throughout the whole album, and the sound is also similar. and hopefully next album will have more variety between songs and have just as heavy lyrics.
   
   I will say this though, I love disturbed and I have my favorites including: Inside the Fire, Haunted, The Curse and Criminal. And who knows, the next album they may turn a complete 180 and come out with a Completely different sounding album to date.



5. This CD Rocks from start to finish. I personally love the music along with the lyrics. You can tell the band has matured threw the years and mastered their music skills. I now have all their albums and look forward to many more albums by Disturbed. A side note my favorite tracks are 1, 2, 6, and 11.

5 comments about Evil Urges.

1. I looked forward to this album, I counted the days! I am a huge fan. I have tickets to their show at Red Rocks with the Black Keys! I felt like I was robbed of $13 after listening! I think it was a joke, I don't think those guys could have honestly made that bad of an album! One of the worst I have ever listened to!!



2. Splendid follow up to Okonokos. Draws a bit more on the obscure. Prince influence on some tracks to the reviewer's delight. If you enjoy this band, you will like this album. For a new fan this might not be the first album to buy, but you won't be disappointed in the purchase either way.



3. Music that appeals to me right away I lose interest in faster than music that grows over time. When I first heard "Evil Urges" I hated it. Now after two weeks of steady listening I love it. When I got over my anger for Highly Suspicious I realized how many amazing moments are on this disc. It has a definite classic rock sound. Jim James sounds great as usual. Stop all the camparisons to "Z" and the incredible "At Dawn", judge it on it's own. If you have not given it a fair chance please do, it's worth it.



4. First of all, I love MMJ. They do have an amazing live show and their previous albums (I have all of them) are all worth listening to repeatedly.
   
   The problem with this album, quite simply, is that it's boring. There are no epic peaks like with the previous albums, nor are there any crunchy country tunes - no good ones, at least. Even the tracks that people seem to like on this record, like "Touch Me 1&2" are just OK when compared to similar tracks on Z. And the big rock tracks on "Evil Urges" are just tired.
   
   I've never done a review on Amazon, but this album was a supreme dissapointment, so I was inspired. If you want to get into MMJ, you should start with Z or It Still Moves.



5. Obviously MMJ's weakest album. I hope they got this Prince/70s cheese rock out of their system. The sad thing is that many of the songs are great musically, but lyrically fall short of the provocative and mysteriously poetic verses Jim used to pen. Others, like the title track, are ruined by a strangely low falsetto that easily could have been amazing songs if only they had been sung with some gusto. And let's not even talk about Highly Suspicious. Clearly, they were HIGH and thought this was funny/a good idea. It is neither. For my money, Smokin From Shootin is the best track, drawing you in with a steadily propulsive rhythm and atmosphere not found elsewhere on the album, and then exploding with a climactic coda at the end. It harkens back to Dondante from Z. The two versions of Touch Me I'm Going To Scream are the next best the album offers. The stretch of light rock musings in the middle/latter half of the album are listenable, but by no means their strongest writing. Then there's two hard rockers, which seem made to appease fans who aren't buying the 70s schtick. They are decent songs, but again don't match the classic rockers from It Still Moves.
   
   But I can't be too hard on these guys. They still rock.

5 comments about Consolers Of The Lonely.

1. I love this cd for only a couple of songs, but these songs got so deep under my skin I cant go a day without listening to them,
   Many Shades Of Black-Very atmospheric song the horns add great texture to the song, it's an instant classic. Jack White Is one of the greatest guitarists out right now, and he'll be in the rock hall of fame sooner or later and Brendan's voice flowed very nicely over the music suiting it very well.
   
   You Dont Understand Me-Smooth,relaxing, love the piano!
   
   Five On The Five-It's hard not to love this song it's hyperactive, how
   can one person have so much talent Jack White? This guy can wail on the guitar and his pipes fit songs like they were tailored.
   
   Hold Up-A fun party song, sounds like a night out with the boys.
   
   Pull This Blanket Off-Love It!
   
   Buy This CD it's great!



2. the more i hear this cd the more i like it. great songs.



3. Greta cd, with great songs, great musicians, one of the freshest cd's I've heard in a long long time, I definitely think that Jack White III is one of the few geniuses of the actual American music.
   The structure of the songs is also very appealing!
   A 10!



4. I'm on my 10th-12th listen of this album and it is really one of the best rock albums I've heard this decade. It brings back so much of what was so excellent about late 70's rock (though, it by no means has a 70's feel)...so then what do I mean? I think it is the resulting beauty of the straight-forward but thoughtful lyrics, the tempo changes within songs, the crunchy delicious guitars, and the delight in having two lead singers take on different songs. It is extremely well-produced and an absolute pleasure to listen to. It's never pretentious and seems rahter devoid of ego. I always feel good listening to it and love the "stories". I am so proud of this work and am glad someone finally took this sort of thing on. It will forever remain in my collection and always bring a smile to face. Fantastic.



5. I liked the Raconteurs first album and I find this one to be vastly inferior. The songs to me are just not well written and are not pleasing to listen to. There is something that is "off" to my ears in almost every song. I would recommend not buying this album and simply enjoying their first album, which is great.

5 comments about 3 Doors Down.

1. I like this album, but is seems like it was a bit rushed. Not as creative or energetic as 3DD's previous releases.



2. I can't stop listening to this albumn. It is by far the best this year. Every song is heartfelt. Bravo to the boys from Mississippi. Well worth the wait. I can't wait till Aug. 27th, to see them live again. In Seattle this time.



3. I am not going to lie, this album took a while to grow on me and it still is but I am slowly beginning to love this album. I don't know what it was but it just sounded different at first. The first 4 songs though I believe are great. "Give it to me" and "Your Arms Feel Like Home" are also very good. "Your Arms Feel Like Home" could be their best ballad they ever put out and I think has the chance of being a bigger hit then "Here Without You" if it is released as a single.
   
   When "It's Not My Time" was released I was like YES!! 3 Doors Down are back and I love that song as the first single. "Train" is prolly my favorite song on the album, it has that Southern hard rock feel to it. I was surprised that "Citizen Solder" was shortened for the album when the extended version was released months before but its still very good. I am sure over time this will become my favorite album of theirs, its tough right now to beat "Away from the Sun" for me but it just might do it one day.



4. this is a pretty good c.d. from 3 doors down..i've been fans of them since the begininng and i have to say that i have heard better from them...but i'm not saying its a horrible c.d. either. most songs are a little softer..i would have loved to see some of the southern rock that they from the start a little more on this album..but i do recommend it..



5. I'm a big fan of 3dd because of the slightly dark music which accompanies the heart drawn lyrics. The lyrics are here but the riffs are lacking. "These Days" is worth the download for anyone that has had a love
   gone astray....

5 comments about Trouble in Mind.

1. The title I stole from another review I read of this CD. I've had this disc in heavy rotation for about 2 weeks now. Excellent stuff. More country than anything on country radio and yet still rockin' as well. If weren't for that geezer show "Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood" I would have missed out on this.



2. It's nice to enjoy an album that is just plain fun with great guitar and fantastic band playing perfectly with a singer with fascinating lyrics that sometimes make me laugh out loud. If you enjoy a touch of country mixed with a touch of rock and you have a free spirit, this one is truly for you. I particularly love "She Left Me for Jesus", the humor that glides through the song of a poor fellow whose girlfriend tells him she has become saved by Jesus with him confused is pure knock out funny. And a "Girl Downtown" about a simple boy meeting simply girl with plunking guitar is another fun one that is just entertaining fun that sounds great particular with backing vocals that sound like a mature Dolly Parton. There are beautiful songs as well such as "It's a Shame" about two potential lovers that somehow just missed. I played this album several times and I have never tired of Carll's voice , he matches the empathy of whatever song he sings, joy or sorrow, he sings just the way the song writer wants it sung. My only regret is that Carll is not touring in VA!



3. love hayes, just wish he'd play my way. i guess i don't have the ear like some of the other reviewers cause i didn't have sound issues.



4. Just got a copy of Hayes Carll's "Trouble in Mind".
   Let me state at the outset that I really wanted to find something to dislike about this album/artist. Really. I put on my cynical big boy pants and black beret and tried to poke him with the derivative mashup label (which would rightfully stick), but it seemed like he just donned it like a Wall Drug trademark and waved it at me. And it worked.
   Carll is the unholy spawn of a "Country Bob" Dylan, pre-prison Steve Earll, an apolitical John Prine with a couple of fingers of Hank Williams. Roll `em all up, give `em a tax stimulus check and send them out into the south east Texas night to find a bar with generic neon beer signs and you have Hayes Carll.
   Funny as hell without working too hard for it, interesting like a hand waving bar conversation between William S, Burroughs and Dolly Parton and just plain enjoyable. If you like the badboy/alt.country/Americana stuff this would be a great addition to your collection. It should come with a bottle of whiskey (of uncertain pedigree)....you know, the kind you get drunk on rather than sip.



5. I'd never heard of Hayes Carll. I mean, here in Illinois, we don't get a whole lot of info about Texas musicians, unless they sell out and go national (Pat Green, Jack Ingram, etc), or have a long-standing history of being songwriting legends (Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, etc). So when I read a review of this album in a magazine, I basically skimmed it over--until I read that Carll covered a Tom Waits tune. That stopped me. Texas country singers are known for their, um, guts...but covering a Tom Waits tune? That can make or break ya. I just had to check it out.
   
   Well, I'm glad I did. The Waits tune is "I Don't Wanna Grow Up," and Carll certainly does a good job covering it. But, let's face it--there's a hell of a lot more. Carll's own songwriting is downright admirable: from the fun-loving (yet dark-undertoned) "Drunken Poet's Dream" to the heart-wrenching "Willing to Love Again," Carll proves that he can hold his own amongst his legendary songwriting neighbors. "She Left Me For Jesus" is of course the attention-grabbing tune here, bound to offend anyone with weak sensibilities who can't detect irony; but there's more to the album than that, too. "I Got a Gig" perfectly captures the troubled arrogant stance of a six-night-a-week musician (as Carll growls "Good Lord I hope I get paid tonight/I got a gig, baby!"); "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart" pretty much sums up the songwriter's ambition ("Doesn't anybody care about the truth anymore/I guess that's what songs are for"); and "A Lover Like You" takes playful honky-tonk jabs at the opposite sex ("I could never be friends with a lover like you").
   
   Hayes Carll is a force to be reckoned with. He's bound for glory; maybe not commercial fame, but that's never been a good judge of talent, anyways. Carll is the real deal; he's a honky-tonk poet, and radio just isn't ready for that yet. One day, maybe. But until then, we can all sit back, listen to TROUBLE IN MIND, and realize that here, right here, is one of the new great songwriters on the country music circuit.

5 comments about In Rainbows.

1. I can't fully express my loathing of this album. Its like random beating mixed with terrible vocals that sound more like humming than actual words. I got this free but really they should have paid me to buy it.



2. The first thing that will strike you on this album is the intensity of the drumming. Its non stop run away with your baby drumming madness. The next thing is that its a better album that hail to the thief in my opinion. That's a good trend because I'm hoping these guys will be around for a long long time.



3. Giving Radiohead a third attempt at becoming a band I can enjoy as a whole, "In Rainbows" comes at a convenient time. Just like when "OK Computer" hit the shelves (the first time I tried to get into them), I'm faced with the tough decision of whether to go by the reviewer's and critic's swooning for this album and go at it swinging or pick up some of their older albums to give another spin.
   
   I chose the latter, re-trying "OK..." and picking up "Amnesia" and the "Airbag/How Am I Driving?" EP as well. Happily, I'm more "into" them now than before, though I still have certain reservations that keep me from truly enjoying the band.
   
   So where does "In Rainbows" come in? It's simple, really. When "OK Computer" didn't move me at all ten years ago, it appears "In Rainbows" is its spiritual successor one decade later. Almost as if this album plays off of their so-called "legendary" album from long ago, I'm almost as tired by this as I had been the first time I tried to get into them.
   
   Sure, the first two tracks show a hell of a lot of promise. Edgy mood rock with very, very interesting vocal samples that would make some artists shiver. That third track, though, is a big, big downer. It's appropriate it's called "Nude" because it's missing something. I'm not intrigued by Thom Yorke's vocals at all, sometimes feeling he's purposely being whiny and droning because it's what's expected of him. He doesn't move me whatsoever in "Nude" and the music doesn't compensate for this as how certain Radiohead songs in the past have. "Reckoner," while plausibly enjoyable, repeats the formula doubly, forcing listeners to pretend momentarily that Thom's got the chops for true falsetto singing. It worked for "Fake Plastic Trees," but it does NOT for "Reckoner."
   
   Really, it doesn't work very well throughout this album.
   
   One thing that I could really appreciate about the band is the sense that quality means something to each member. It's not just Yorke's band, it belongs to the entire group. Somehow, I don't feel this as much with "In Rainbows." My wife and I shared the same thought that the album "sounds like someone else." Translated, "this sounds like Radiohead's winding down their career and is now getting into 'copycat mode.'"
   
   Anyone familiar with the band VAST should strangely find the "vast" amounts of dreary, dramatic strings in this album to be eerily familiar. Considering the number of albums they released that used the same formula that appears to be constituting "In Rainbows," it's hard not to make the comparison. It's enough to make VAST an excellent band, though sadly, it's sort of a step down from what I'd consider to be "excellent Radiohead."
   
   Oddly, this album does deserve a certain amount of praise because it is very well-produced and the point is received well. I don't feel that it's anywhere near the top of the band's best albums list, but it is solid. The traces of noise rock and experimental pop stylings that made older albums interesting DO exist, though they're upended by periods of absolute boring vocals.
   
   3.5 stars is good enough. Any more and you're probably either a rabid Radiohead fan who can't help but love everything they release...or a brand new listener who hasn't heard anything else they've done.



4. I paid absolutely nothing to download this album from the band's website, and I'm very glad I didn't give them any of my money. This band's music is so frustratingly obtuse that it's no fun to listen to, especially with Yorke's exceptionally annoying voice. I just don't understand what so many people like about this band.



5. didn't care much about the band until kidA, even though i was their BIGGEST fan since 1993, meanwhile, i was also the biggest fan of nirvana, sublime, debbie gibson, alanis morrisette, poison, mc hammer, jason priestly, ninja turtles, boyz ii men, baywatch bjork, and batman- the animated series all at once. i was 5, what do you expect? goethe? actually...
   
   but now according to my maturing tastes, there's something wrong with the album which i can't quite put my finger on.
   
   so i will be as double-edge and creative as possible, to match my FAVOURITE front man in the world! *squeak* he's practically a jain!
   
   in rainbows is not nearly as embarassing as 'hail to the thief'. this album totally covers their butts on the false prophetry from the previous effort. citing Faust, multiple times: that covers everything, before, now and after. dude i totally found the hidden meaning. they certainly give you your money's worth.
   and, as prophesized, they have moved on from shaping culture to making history: pricing based on personal value and independently distributing music. that's both original and brave, like kicking EMI to the curb after umpteen years, that's like finally moving out of your mom's house. EMI, goooooodbyyye!
   
   i price this at $1200:
   my hourly rate is $100, i spent about 15 minutes with bit torrent and another 2 putting it into itunes. i listened to it 7 times according to itunes, conservatively estimating another 7 in other situations. album is 42.5 minutes long, about 10 hours spent. through radio, probably 2 singles combined total of 7 times, 4 minutes per song, that's 28 minutes. another hour and a half writing and proofing this bit, that comes out to just over 12 hours. i'll around down for old times' sake. that's $1200 for my time, and the appropriate commission of course. i trust that they are gentlemen.
   
   music was ok. more of the same. at least they use allegories to whine. if i have to listen to another song that keeps talking about how much this guy wants to off himself, or about their mom and dad, or pot, i am going to listen to in rainbows again. since not whining is too much to ask for.
   
   what happened to bands that know how to make an exit? more importantly, what happened to personal growth? i take that back, entrenchment answers everything. people must be trapped in life in order to not off themselves. but since this is the year of my campaign, i'll have to stick to my original stance of posing important questions to the citizens of the world. a vote for me is a vote for change.
