Recent Music Purchases
Here are some recent albums I've acquired and my brief thoughts.
- Nine Inch Nails - "The Downward Spiral" - As a ten-year
anniversary special, NIN has re-released this classic album on SACD.
I was in love with this album back in middle school and highschool.
The SACD with its surround-sound mixes are definitely worth it.
- Rilo Kiley - "Live at Fingerprints" - Acoustic EP with tracks
from "More Adventurous." Who doesn't like Rilo Kiley?
- Bright Eyes - "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" - This is one of
two new Bright Eyes full lengths coming out in 2005. This is the
more folkish one. Not great but still enjoyable.
- Bright Eyes - "Digital Ash In A Digital Urn" - The other Bright
Eyes full length. More electronic and more rock-ish. I suppose
this is my preferred flavor. As with any Bright Eyes, great lyrics,
too.
- Rufus Wainwright - "Want Two" - Not as good as "Poses" or "Want
One" but Rufus is still amazing. Anyone who enjoys poppy tunes with
great vocals will enjoy this.
- Isis - "Panopticon" - The journey that started from "Oceanic"
continues with this epic recording. Isis can't seem to miss these
days.
- 65daysofstatic - "The Fall of Math" - Some say it's noise, but I
sure like it.
