Album of the Week

I'll be honest; there isn't anything remotely interesting out this week. The biggest CD release of the week is Usher, and there's no way I'm willing to spend more than this sentence talking about that. Cyndi Lauper has a new one, and I'll listen to that right after I forgive Oasis, Creed and Nickelback for their contributions to music. It's pretty much a sad sight across the board; at least, there isn't anything I'd even consider as an "album of the week". So... why bother posting at all? I dunno, just seemed like something to do, so I'm doing it. But, while we're on a roll, how about a look into the future, where there are actual half-interesting albums being released.

Coming Up for June 3:

WEEZER: The Red Album
Song: Pork and Beans

We've already discussed this, so I'm not wasting any more energy on it. I must admit, however, that this is a pretty neat video. How many horribly overexposed YouTube stars can you spot?



OPETH: Watershed
Song: Porcelain Heart

This is a very mellow song by Opeth standards, but their trademark melodic prog-metal is still awe inspiring. Some may call it pretentious. It is. But, it's also ridiculously good.



DISTURBED: Indestructible
Song: Inside the Fire

To be honest, I stopped caring about this band on album #2, where ProTools might as well have written the fucking songs. I will admit, however, that "Inside the Fire" is a good song, even if they'll never pull it off live.



There's more, but I got shit to do. Maybe later this week we'll take another peek forward.
