I am back! I got my new computer yesterday, and between playing Counter-Strike:Source, I have listened to a bit of music. :lol2: But..that's been taking up my time, so not much. So I only have one recommendation this week. Be expecting lots of reviews again now that my PC is up and running!

Rise Against (http://www.riseagainst.com) - Siren Song of the Counter Culture

This album slowly and surely grew on me. The lyrics, the energy...mind blowing. Without a computer for the past few weeks I've been playing my bass a lot, and taking the time to learn a lot of Rise Against songs. It's been super fun. It's a bold claim - but this album has jumped past My Chemical Romance, Northstar, Underoath, This Providence, and Say Anything for my album of the year. Can't say enough about it. If you haven't heard it, fix that. I believe it's only 9.99 at Best Buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1377533&skuId=6750447&type=product).

i do love that album....but the unraveling was better and revolutions per minute is THE midwest punk album of the last 5 years, at least. its like, if a baseball player hits 2 home runs in a row, and a triple on the third, even though a triple is badass, its just not a home run. there.

plus, the new blood brothers is the best piece of art that came out all year, no matter what medium.

yeah I just saw them open up for Bad Religion last Thursday... One of the most powerful shows I've seen in quite some time. Everyone has to catch this incredible tour if they're heading through your city. Great recommendation Scott.

I like the new RA but like so many other albums this year, it's still disappointing.
