Life’s simple pleasures. Music…the way it was meant to be heard.

I am at Starbucks getting a few things done. Finishing up my digerati book call, and a few other things.

As I am sitting here an I have my iPod and my amazing in ear, ear buds. They totally rock!

Such a difference. The snare drum that just about rips your head off. The bass and kick that hits you right in the heart. Wow…this is how it was meant to be listened too! Right now I am listening to Shadow Of The Day, Linkin Park. It is a totally different song than I thought….

Just thought I would share. Heading out to hang with the family and some friends.

The ear buds and creature speakers were heavily focused on these tunes this week!

Ours, Distorted Lullabies
Ours, The Living Room NYC-NY 1/27/07
Dolores O’Riordan, Are You Listening
Hillsong United, All Of The Above
Linkin Park, Minutes to Midnight

I was going to just list all Ours…why? Because they were in Dallas last night and I am in Ok…So, I am just listening to all there live “legal” bootlegs and I kinda feel like I am right there. Visit this site to download legal bootlegs.

Also, I will go on record as a total idiot. Sorry for not linking the albums before, but now all of the album will take you to iTunes or the artist site. Forgive me for my past posts!

Ok, 24 hours with the much anticipated new Linkin Park Minutes to Midnight album and I LOVE IT. I had to listen through the album at least 6 times before I really know what I think.

Funny, the album is not getting great reviews. Why? It is a lot different then there previous albums. Linkin Park adjusted there style a little bit, changed up there sounds but they are still Linkin Park without a doubt.

What I like?
The Guitar tones,riff and sounds are totally amazing.
Wide range of sounds and feels (moods) throughout the album.
Love that Mike Shinoda has two songs of his own on the album.
I like that they brought in a “classic rock” meets hip-hop sound.

What I think is missing?
I would love to have more “heavy” guitar driven metal/rap songs!

I love the album and actually I like it more every time I listen to it. As I listen right now I am hearing a lot of The Edge sounds and fills in track 5. Hope ya enjoy….
