Where’s all the music?
I had a brief, one minute long discussion with a co-worker, today. He, generally, likes the same music that I do and he was curious if I knew of any albums to look forward to this year. The answer? “There’s nothing,” was all I could say.
I did expand on that, eventually, and mention that Smile Empty Soul has a new album coming out this summer, but he missed their brief turn in the spotlight and had never heard of them. I have to say, though, that if there is only one album coming out this year for me to look forward to, then I am damn happy that it’s Smile Empty Soul’s fourth (third, officially) effort. They’re one of the three bands (Staind and Seether) I absolutely, undeniably love and connect to. Their albums are of a small minority; they are good from the first track all the way through to the last. Man, I can’t wait.
You people have any albums worth looking forward to? Before you bother, I already know about Lil Wayne’s rock album. Don’t even…
The last album I really looked forward to was Eyes Open by Snow Patrol. Yeah, I know, not exactly the sort of thing you like, but the album was actually pretty good until Chasing Cars started getting plastered everywhere and getting put on crappy TV shows. Why do you Americans always have to turn a perfectly good band into douchebags?
Most of the music I was looking forward to this year has already been released or has been leaked, so no, I don’t have much to look forward to either…
