764-HERO: Salt Sinks & Sugar Floats I like it. It reminds me of Modest Mouse, but the vocals aren't quite as harsh. And it's not as energetic and powerful. But it's still good. Nada Surf: Proximity Effect I like this one, too. It's a little more pop-rock than High/Low was. But it's cool, especially "Mother's Day" and "80 Windows." Elliott Smith: Either/Or It's good, just like all his albums. He makes me happy. Sometimes he makes me sleepy, too, but that's okay. He's fun to listen to when I'm sad. They Might Be Giants: Factory Showroom I like John Henry and Flood more, but this one is still pretty good. Superdrag: Regretfully Yours They talk about cigarettes a lot. It's good. I like it more than Headtrip In Every Key. "Sucked Out" is much different from most of their music. Built to Spill: "Center of the Universe" import single There are a couple acoustic songs on here, with just Doug. And there's a song, "Now and Then," that makes me happy and sad at the same time. I don't know why. It just does. I love that song. Owsley: Owsley It sounds kind of like Fountains of Wayne, but a little more electric. It's fun music, though. Not quite as good as FOW, but it's good for a change of pace. Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream I had never heard this CD before. But everyone says it's their best one. I concur. Red Stars Theory: But Sleep Came Slowly I like it, but it's kind of tiring. I like to listen to it when I try to go to sleep. It's just kind of mellow and...boring. Treepeople: Actual Re-enactment I bought it because Doug Martsch used to be in the Treepeople. I knew he left before they made this album, but I thought it would still reflect his style. It does, kind of, but I don't really care for it much. It's okay. Where Is My Mind?: Pixies tribute album I haven't heard of most of the bands on here, but I like it. I don't have any Pixies albums. I basically bought this because I like "Velouria," and I knew Superdrag and Nada Surf were on here. I ended up liking most of the songs, though. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my recent purchases. ~Ryan boring, but it's more action than youse guys have given in the last day |
