New CDs
Today being a Tuesday meant a trip to Best Buy was in order to pick up some new CDs. I actually showed some restraint today and only walked out with three CDs (two of which were planned purchases).
Thursday - A City By The Light Divided
This was the main reason for my trip. I really enjoyed Thursday's last album, War All the Time, which made A City one of my most anticipated albums of the year. Listened to the album a couple times at work and I'm definitely digging it so far. I can't wait to sit down with it and analyze all the lyrics. Geoff is a great lyricist, so I know I'm going to find some gems. Also, the video for the single Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is really well done (it's included on the "enhanced" portion of the CD. While Thursday isn't a band for everyone, if you're into their style of music, I definitely recommend picking up this album.
Matt Nathanson - At The Point (Live)
I've pimped Matt's live show on here several times. This album actually came out nearly a month ago, but I couldn't find it in stores until today. Listening to it just gets me all the more excited that I'll be seeing him twice about a week from now. Like the album, the shows are going to be just Matt and his guitar. Can't wait.
Morrissey - The Best Of! Morrissey
This was the only unplanned purchase of the day. I was vaguely familiar with Morrissey (frontman of The Smiths back in the day) and just recently heard some songs off his new EP. I happened to notice this album on the shelf as I was picking up Matt's CD, and since it was only $8 and has 21 songs, I had to pick it up. The songs definitely have that upbeat dance vibe that I've really been getting into lately. Should be a fun CD.
