Eminem is dead and Best Buy is nuts

I was really hoping Eminem would be able to capture some of the magic from his earlier albums in his upcoming release. My hopes have been shattered. I’ve listened to a few songs on YouTube, and such, and they are horrible to a point that they’re unbearable to listen to. I actually couldn’t finish listening to the song “3am” because it was just annoying. He’s using the same infantile voice he used on “Encore” and it wasn’t any good back then, so it’s just worse now. Give it up, dude.

Switching artistic mediums, Best Buy has lost their mind and started to allow people to reserve their copies of the game Modern Warfare 2. This is a game that is scheduled to hit shelves in November, November! Do people really need to reserve a copy six months in advance? It just seems so ridiculous. Each store is going to get in a few hundred copies (on release day, alone), so are reserved copies even needed anymore? Sheesh.

Those are my random thoughts for the day. Enjoy.

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…

Smile Empty Soul “Alone”

This was a bonus song on an album from Troll Forcefield, for which Smile Empty Soul frontman, Sean, plays guitar. It’s a good song, to me, so I thought I’d share it.

I was first introduced to Paramore, and this song, through Guitar Hero: World Tour. The band is pretty damn good and this song is very catchy.

A rough year for music

I was just sitting here and thinking about the year to come. Every year, I try to figure out how good or bad a year is going to be in the terms of new music releases. Looking ahead, 2009 is going to suck.

I have to admit, I don’t know every album that’s coming out this year, but from what I do know, there’s only one album for me to look forward to. Just one! Granted, the album, “Consciousness”, does come from my second favorite band, Smile Empty Soul, but that’s supposed to land in March and then, after that, nothing, nada. Sure, you could point out the new Papa Roach album, but they’re a shell of their former selves and I just know there’s not much to look forward to from them. I’m going to be very musically bored unless someone surprises me.

So, what about you? Any albums you guys and girls are looking forward to or is this going to be just as bad of a year for you?
