Really? I haven't got it yet, but I'd heard some of the tracks on the radio last week and they sounded okay. It got a pretty good review in my newspaper, although the newspaper my mate gets apparently gave it a crap review.

 

 

 

Hm, I think it's an extremely cheesy and overproduced record. Especially the first disc is extremely hard to get trough. With tracks such as No More Walks in the Wood (an extremely sweet a cappella opener), Busy Being Fabulous, What do I do with my heart (this has got to be the worst track of the album) and I don't want to hear anymore. I'm not really a fan of the "grabaguitarandsingalong" sound, especially not when it's aimed at a 40+ audience that likes to think they still have it. And the fact that it's all so obviously fake considering the egos in the band can drink eachother's blood doesn't make it much better. Just a quick cash-in using the succes of previous hits. The only track that I got trough was the titletrack.

Yeah, I thought it might be a bit like that, it seems like there's too much material for them to treat it properly. I'll borrow it off a friend and give it a listen.

 

 

 

Seems to be a thing for seminal rockers releasing new albums, what with Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young, although both their albums were fantastic.

 

 

 

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Radiohead

 

 

 

In Rainbows is quickly turning out to be my favourite album of theirs, Reckoner is just beautiful.

Tool - Wings

 

 

 

Absolutally beautiful music.

 

 

 

[hide]

 

Wings

 

 

 

You believed.

 

You believed in moments not conceived.

 

You believed in me.

 

 

 

A passionate spirit.

 

Uncompromised

 

boundless and open.

 

A light in your eyes, then, immobilized.

 

 

 

Vacant, broken.

 

Fell at the hands of

 

Those movements that I wouldn't see.

 

Cause it was you who prayed for me so.

 

What have I done to be a son to an angel?

 

What have I done to be worthy?

 

 

 

Day light dims leaving cold fluorescence.

 

Difficult to see you in this light.

 

Please forgive this selfish question, but

 

What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight?

 

 

 

She never told a lie.

 

Well might of told a lie.

 

But never lived one.

 

Didn't have a life.

 

Didn't have a life.

 

But surely saved one.

 

Saved on.

 

 

 

Alright, now it's time for us to let you go.

 

 

 

10,000 Days

 

We listen to the tales and romanticize,

 

how we follow the path of the hero.

 

 

 

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,

 

How we'll rise to the height of our halo.

 

 

 

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,

 

our way into the arms of the savior.

 

Fading all the trials and the tribulations.

 

 

 

None of us have actually been there,

 

Not like you...

 

 

 

The ignorant fibbers in the congregation.

 

Gather around spewing sympathy,

 

Spare me...

 

 

 

None of them can even hold a candle up to you.

 

Blinded by choices,

 

hypocrites won't see.

 

 

 

But enough about the collective Judas.

 

Who could deny you were the one who illuminated?

 

Your little piece of the divine.

 

 

 

This little light of mine it gives your past unto me,

 

I'm gonna let it shine

 

to guide you safely on your way.

 

 

 

Your way home...

 

 

 

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?

 

Without you to guide them all to Zion?

 

What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?

 

Other than tremble incessantly.

 

 

 

High is the way,

 

but our eyes are upon the ground.

 

You are the light and the way.

 

They'll only read about.

 

I only pray heaven knows,

 

when to lift you out.

 

 

 

10,000 days in the fire is long enough.

 

You're going home...

 

 

 

You're the only one who can hold your head up high.

 

Shake your fist at the gates saying,

 

"I have come home now...!"

 

Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.

 

Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

 

 

 

"It's time now!

 

My time now!

 

Give me my

 

Give me my wings...!"

 

 

 

Give me my [x5]

 

 

 

(Give me my wings)

 

 

 

You are the light, the way,

 

that they will only read about.

 

 

 

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.

 

Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers.

 

You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,

 

Judith Marie, unconditional one.

 

 

 

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.

 

Difficult to see you in this light.

 

Please forgive this bold suggestion.

 

Should you see your maker's face tonight,

 

Look him in the eye.

 

Look him in the eye and tell him,

 

I never lived a lie, never took a life,

 

But surely saved one.

 

 

 

Hallelujah

 

It's time for you to bring me home.

Still gives me shivers.

Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place

 

Beautiful piece of music. I first heard this song on Friday I think, in a physics lesson. We spent the majority of it just watching YouTube, and one of these videos had this song on it. I recognized it as Radiohead, and asked one of my friends in the class what it was--being the HUGE Raidohead fan he is. Love it.

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

Thee More Shallows - I Can't Get Next to You

 

Brilliant, simple piece of music. I only found out about this band a few days ago, and I'm planning on checking them out a bit more extensively later on in November.

Cool.

Yea, the Bruce Springsteen album is really good. I heard Chrome Horse II only one time so far, but that sounded promosing as well. But yea, a lot of older rockers are releasing a lot new material lately (Neil young did three albums in two years?). But most of it works really good. Dylan's Modern Times is very good. And what to think of Ry Cooder's last two albums ChÃÆÃâÃâávez Ravine and My Name is Buddy. I think we can count My Name is Buddy as one of the best albums released so far this year. Cat Stevens coming back after a long period, but now under the name of Yusuf Islam. Even Meat Loaf released a Bat out of Hell album last year! But I didn't dare to listen that one. :P
