Re: What's your top 3 cd's/albums of the year?
>Joy Electric: Legacy, Volume 1: The White Songbook

>love those crazy Martin brothers. =20
The new album is darker. Less falsetto. More complex. I'm not a big fan
of candy coating (note my liking for bands such as Nine Inch Nails) so the
album is a big win with me. If you found the earlier stuff too happy and
straight-forward Christian, listen to a bit of this. It's worth it.
>Radiohead: I Might Be Wrong (live album)
>it's radiohead . . . that's enough to make you love it or hate it. =20
You'd think that, but I really don't care for Amnesiac at all. The live
versions give the songs a soul that is missing from the studio
renditions. "Like Spinning Plates" is a great example. The live album
lets them shine. Though there are only eight tracks, they're all worth it.
>Jimmy Eat World (despite the hype, it really was good)
Hype? There was hype? Shows how much I follow MTV et al...if I watch a
music station, it's MTV2.
I just saw a show with Jimmy opening (followed my Tenacious D and
Weezer.) They were everything I hoped for and more. The D left me
wanting, since there was nothing too far off the path their album took. As
for Weezer, let's just leave it at I don't like much after the blue album.
>Toadies (they'll be missed)
*Yeah* they will.
>Linkin Park (see JEW)
I think I may be starting to get bored, but I *do* like their style to a
certain point.
>Coldplay
I am ashamed at myself for failing to own this CD. The video for "Trouble"
is spectacular, and the song is pretty good too ;)
