Computer was serviced, a good month and a half of not listening to music from the mp3 library. That's alright though, I got to listen to a huge amount of cds. There always seems to be a big difference from just listening to some mp3s, or really listening to a whole cd from start to finish. I listened to the Nocturne OST, Avatar Tuner INTEGRAL, Goldfrapp albums, Muse, and Air. I also realized how utterly amazing each and every track on See The Sound is, That album is so solid. A mix cd with some of The Delgados and I…

Back on track with the normal order I came upon 311's Grassroots. Now based on my previous impressions from the earlier albums I wasn't looking forward to this one. Surprisingly this ended up being more favorable because of the more laid back jamming feel. Nutsymptom has a sweet great 2nd half, the popping bass is just amazing. The laid back feel to 8:16 A.M., Grassroots, and Lose I enjoyed as well. The more reggae(if that's what it is) influence in this is more preferred over the funk/rap in the other stuff I've heard.

Next was The Delgados' The Great Eastern,…

Alright, lately I've been so busy playing games and listening to random stuff that I haven't been very on track with the album-listening-progress-business. As the last bit of catch up I covered all the alphabetical ground that I had already traversed with the Death Note related albums I had added.

First was the album Buiiki Kaesu by Maximum The Hormone. Now I haven't even started watching the series despite the fact that I should, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I haven't even wiki'd it or anything but I am assuming this is the album by the group…

The amount of progress I have made is evidence of how much freetime I now have taking summer classes haha. After listening through the Gorillaz debut I began to go back and go through the recent additions I have. The first album I went through was The Alternative by I Am X. Chris Corner is pretty damned awesome I must say, my attention was first drawn to Sneaker Pimps via the song Half Life from Splinter and I found my way to this side project. The Alternative is a pretty sweet album, most tracks have catchy synth lines and infectious…

Ahh so much random the last few days, summer classes whooo. Not much recent progress, and the addition of many new albums will take some backtracking to get back on the alphabet progress train. The next album that came up was The Good, The Bad & The Queen. I love Damon Albarn, he is a musical genius. It is no wonder the level of polish this album has with the composition of the band. The singles Herculean and Kingdom of Doom are great songs, the track bearing the album name is another standout in my opinion. I like the rustic…

It surprises me every time I hear the Ghost in the Shell: Megatech Body Co. album how good the music is and I wonder what the actual Playstation game was like. Every track on this album is highly listenable and catchy trance/techno. Particular favorite tracks of mine are Ghost in the Shell, Firecracker, Spook & Spell , The Vertical, and Spectre which is practically half the album. The rest is just as good, these just stuck out to me initially. Definetly more appreciated when listened through entirely.

Next came the Be Human album from Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone…

Wow it has been a while since I last updated this. I seem to have been thrown for a loop since what happened on campus on the 16th of April and hadn't updated or really made progress. Well back on the warpath, I hope to at least finish going through all this stuff this year.

I am hazy as hell on the furthest back tracks so I can't recall my opinions of particular tracks that well. Freezepop Forever was a fun album, as most of their stuff is. I am glad I recently got my hands on some of their…

Back on the path again, alphabetically after the FLCL soundtrack came Clint Mansell's swelling score for The Fountain. I absolutely love his style that has such a penchant for building anticipation and the rawness of utter awe. The use of guitar, and choral samples that accompany the flowing strings in the arrangements are exactly my type of thing. While the whole soundtrack I have to say is something much more appreciated when listened to straight through since it is like reliving the story of the fountain through a musical medium. All of the despair, frustration, and determination is captured in…

Only minimal progress has been made, and alot has been listening to albums that I recently added or just playlists of tidbits. Anyways, onto the albums I got through.

N*E*R*D's Fly or Die is awesome. It's such a fusion of genres and Pharrell's voice is just stunning. The Way She Dances is by far my favorite track on the album, but it's all so well put together the rest is just so solid. The arrangements and surprising attention to detail really caught me off guard, mad props to this album.

After 2 tracks of Korn from Follow the Leader, catchy…
