Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you
When it's easy enough to find someone to look down on you

This is Three Days Grace’s 3rd album. In this release these guys stick to the formula that has worked for them in the past, more specifically the sound is very similar to what you hear in One-X. Despite of this fact, this album should open a few new doors and perhaps bring the band new fans along the way.

There’s plenty of good tracks in the album and anyone looking for some good rock music should be able to find something they like. Be it the heavy sounds in The Good Life, Break and World So Cold, or the more mainstream Someone Who Cares and Last To Know.

Don’t hold the fact that they’re Canadian against them. These know how to rock and how to make good music.

If you’re wondering, the first line of album reviews are usually a line or two of the album lyrics. I always pick a line that sticks with me after I’ve listened to the album a few times.

So I’ll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile

Consistent improvement. That's the best way I can describe this album. It's very consistent with what BB are all about; while at the same time, a good improvement from their previous work.

If you’ve never heard of Breaking Benjamin, then you may want to take the time and do some research on them. They’ve been around since 1998 and this is already their 4th studio album.

Although this album is perhaps a little more “mainstream”, it still certainly has a lot of heavy sounds to it. The first 3 track are some pretty heavy rhythmical songs. After that it slows down a bit, but certainly picks up again on the second half of the album.

This is certainly one of my favorite bands out there. The first time I heard of them was after the release of We Are Not Alone, their second album. Since then they have evolved and their sound have certainly matured. This one is one album that I’ll enjoy for a long time, but I’m certainly looking forward to their future projects.

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days

Well, I'll start by saying that I'm glad these guys decided to put their differences aside and get back together to, once again, create good music. With that said, I will also say that I'm not impressed with this album.

Yes, this is definitely Creed music. Their style. Their sound. But that’s just the problem. There’s no much new here. A few of the songs sound too similar to their old songs. While some others just don’t carry the punch many Creed songs carry. I’m not sure if I’m making too much sense here. I just expected a lot more for a Creed comeback album.

Not everything is bad, there are some exceptions. Overcome opens the album with plenty of heavy rock. But after that nothing caught my attention until I got to the 5th track: Rain. This is a pretty decent song. Away in Silence follows and although this is a slow song, it’s an interesting piece.

Once you get passed these 2 songs, that’s pretty much it. Nothing interesting beyond this point. Perhaps you will have a different opinion. Download and judge for yourself.

Going forward I will post the downloads using torrent files. If you don’t know what they are, all you need to know is that it will download the music listed here for you. I stopped using P2P apps like eMule, Limewire and the likes long time ago. I only use torrents now days.

I strongly recommend µTorrent. I originally used to run Vuze/Azureus, but over time it became such a resource hog that I decided to drop it. µTorrent uses very little system resources and provides a lot of functionality.

Now in plain English: µTorrent downloads what you need and won’t slow down your computer.

Tiny heart, stuck inside yourself
When will you open up for me?

I got a hold of the advanced copy of Flyleaf’s new album, Memento Mori. The album doesn’t officially come out until Tuesday (Nov. 10th), but I know my way around the intertubes pretty well to find what I want/need.

The music follows Flyleaf’s trademark sound, except for a few places where their sound take a turn towards mainstream. In spite of that minor change there’s plenty to listen to in here. True to their beliefs, the albums has plenty of religious references; more than in their self-titled debut effort.

Overall, a pretty good album. Hopefully I will get the chance to catch them live again. If you have the chance, go ahead and see their show.

One thing I should note is that when researching the lyrics I came across some that were completely different from what I was listening to. This leads me to believe that what I have is an advanced copy of the album that was not the final product or, what people out there were listening to when they wrote down the lyrics were the advanced copies. We’ll know for sure on Tuesday.

In the meantime, enjoy.
