Helping Mankind

Here is the first blog that should be beneficial to your life:

The album by Arcade Fire called "Neon Bible" is well, not that impressive. I knew in advance that I wasn't that big of a fan of this band but I thought 'Why not give them another try?' People I know in my life of whom I greatly respect their music taste enjoy the musical happenings of Arcade Fire. I, however, do not. Maybe I have passed this stage in my life in which this kind of music is enjoyable. Either way, not to impressive. However, the name is good and the lyrics are also pretty good. It's a decent album but not something I will be listening to a lot.

Another album given to me today was "Is This It" by the Strokes. Now let me ask you this: When have The Strokes not been pleasing. I mean honestly, think of the last Strokes song that you didn't like. And this album was just as good as all the rest. And it is really good driving music. Like, I could take a road trip to this album. Definitely worth your time and adding to your iPod.

Recently, I have also started listening to Kate Voegele. She appears on "One Tree Hill" as Mia. Her most recent album is excellent, especially if you are a girl. Although, it would be better music if I still hated men and had just gone through a break up, I have no reason not to support her musical talent, passion, and pretty good acting skills. When I saw her I thought, "Man, I wish I was a rocker chick." True story.

Finally, is the new Jack Johnson album. Very disappointing. Don't get me wrong. If this is the only album you have heard of Jack Johnson's then you will probably be very pleased. His music is good. However, real talent is keeping your style but showing some creativity and variety. Jack Johnson does not do this. All of his songs sound exactly the same. The same chords and feeling with different lyrics. Unfortunately, even the lyrics are similar. Not worth your money. Maybe if someone gives you this album or if you need some extra tunes for a beach day you could burn it but overall no impressive.

Just to justify the previous music reviews: for those of you that are unaware, I have impeccable taste in music. I am a music connoisseur which is not snobbery but just sophistication.
