i decided that there's a problem with me typing up posts at work, because it means i'm usually disgruntled and cranky when i write. more so than normal, anyway.
i mentioned more cd reviews coming, but i don't feel like going into a lot of detail about them, so i'll make them short and sweet. pearl jam released a self-titled album last week, and red hot chili peppers just came out with their latest, the double-album stadium arcadium. neither of these is really a bad cd; they're just boring. pearl jam was fine. none of the songs were bad, some of them were even a little catchy. but it didn't sound like anything new. nothing stood out. it was the same old pearl jam style that i've heard a million times before. i guess if you want more of the same pearl jam, go for it. i don't seem myself ever listening to it repeatedly. the chili peppers' album is even worse, because its two cds. if you've heard their last couple albums, you've heard this one. i'll admit, i didn't even listen to the whole thing, because its just boring.
now on the positive side, neil young's living with war is a good album. sure, i don't agree with all the politics, but that doesn't change the fact that it is still a quality cd. this is the political/protest album green day wishes they could make. definitely worth a listen, especially if you're a neil young fan.
