From its opening moments, you feel the 90s filtering into your veins like a half-used heroin needle and feel the sudden need to sit and soak it all in. There's the unexpected piano melody in the beginning of No Future/No Past building into a trudging guitar, bass, and drums, that only let up for a moment and only to build still more tension, Dylan Baldi's vocals growing slowly more desperate until the final outro-chant of the song title. It's like ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead stole Kurt Cobain's vocal aggression and his heroin needle and replaced the heroin with concentrated cough syrup.

Then comes Wasted Days, with its nearly 9 minutes, taking even more cues from Trail of Dead, mostly just riffing and building instrumental tension between sparsely dosed chants of “I thought I would be more than this.” And somehow the band makes it work. Maybe it’s all the angst.

Originally posted to facebook at new years:

Its that time of year where I attempt to compile a list of the best albums of the year. It is always hard for me to rank albums, since I normally don't even get around to listening to them until a couple of months after they are released. So with that said I'll probably order them alphabetically. I'll include the number of plays courtesy of Last FM, as I'm more likely to have formed a definite opinion on something I've listened to a lot. I've tagged my friends that are most likely to be interested in good music.

Amorphis - The Beginning of Times - 8 plays

I'm still not sure what to think of this one. On first listen I really liked it, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe its because I'm distracted every time I listen to it, but none of the songs seem particularly memorable. Everyone is saying it is a step up from Skyforger, but I really liked that album, and it definitely doesn't compare to Silent Waters. I'll updte this if it grows on me - I have only heard it 8 times so far.
