Ah, more new tunes
It’s been a while since I got new music and based on some recommendations
from my best friend when I was
href="http://danimal.org/SenorTaco/2004/12/08#texas-december-2004">in Texas
I picked up a few things used.
- My Chemical Romance
– Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. This album is one of the best
I’ve gotten in a long time. I guess you could put it in the emo group, but
it’s got a bit of spookiness in there too. Just really good stuff and easy to
listen to. - H.I.M. — Greatest Love
Songs, Vol. 666. While I’m not normally into Gothic Rock from Finland
this one is surprisingly easy to listen to and has two great covers on it:
“Wicked Game” and “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” I can’t say more other than
the original songs are good too, but those covers make it worth the cost. - Hayseed Dixie –
A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. Yeah, it was used and I couldn’t resist.
The covers (all of them AC/DC) are great. That’s what I love in covers, when
they’re totally different from the original but still carry some hint of the
inspiration.
I also picked up the Nirvana Box Set while in Texas, but I haven’t had a chance
to really give it a listen yet. I’ll post a review of that when I feel
more comfortable with it.
