new albums

This week saw the release of 2 albums that could not have ellicited more polar opposites in emotions for me.. in 1 corner you had the new bloc party album. an incredibly innovative band, that in my opinion has made one of the best albums of the year... while i don't consider it to be as good as silent alarm after the 1st couple of listens, if you can't find yourself grooving to the crazy train type guitar riff in "hunting for witches" there's a serious chance you might be deaf. sadly that excitement for bloc party was met head on by a case in crap in the form of fallout boy. someone needs to tell peter wentz writing long song titles that have nothing to do with your song does not make you a visionary or a poet. honestly after listening to their new song, "it ain't a scene, it's an arms race" i really wanted to try swim wearing weighted shoes. and after listening to the rest of the album i really felt sorry i put myself through this torture. No man, let me repeat that, no man should be forced to listen to this album. Can't wait for next Tuesday's album releases
