I got a 20 buck gift card to a local music shop. I am thinking about adding some cash to that and getting some Killswitch Engage.

Yeah, I totally forgot about it because it hasn't come in yet, but mom and dad pre-ordered it for me about four or five days ago. So...it counts, even though it's not in my hands yet.

The Switchfoot album came in the mail, and had a free 3 song EP of stuff cut from the album. It's awesome.

I prefer Switchfoot's older sound?

Is 'Oh, Gravity!' like their old stuff?

PostPosted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:08 pm

It's nothing like their old stuff. It's good, though.

I don't exactly like Switchfoot, new or old. It has a little to much of a pretty boy pop rock band. At least their christian, though. That is what counts.

The CDs I got were:
Flyleaf's self-titled CD
Audioslave- Revelations
Shinedwon- Us and Them

Well, Kkun, I thought The Beautiful Letdown and Nothing is Sound were okay at best.

Is 'Gravity' like their past two?

You thought The Beautiful Letdown was okay at best? How??? WHY??? That album is brilliant.

Anyway, yeah, it's kind of similar to those two, I guess. They do a lot of weird stuff. It's a lot more all-over-the-place than those two.

They're aiming for a harder sound now.

It was slow and most of the songs sounded the same.

Since when is slow a bad thing?

Also, none of the songs sounded the same. Fail++, Tom.

Um, I thought they did and I have heard the entire CD.

Lucky.. I asked for that, but didn't get it.. >.<

I didn't get any music, but I got a borders gift card with which I'm planning on buying The Showdown - A Chorus of Obliteration, and Underoath - The Changing Times

As far as Underoath goes, here is my list of Underoath albums, in the order of greatest to list, judged by my humble opinion, just to help you out.

-Cries of the Past
-Act of Depression
-The Changing of Times
-Define the Great Line
-They're Only Cashing Saftey

Not exactly. They actually surf.

At least their christian, though. That is what counts.

That's merely a bonus to me. They could be satanists and I'd still listen to them.

Well, now I find their music more listenable. :eyeroll:

More power to you. It just depends if their lyrics support Satanism and demonstrate an anti-Christian rage. That I won't listen.

Notice I said listen, not buy.

Lyrics don't mean much to me, to be honest.

Hee. I got the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack. And a 15$ iTunes giftcard. So yeah. XD I'll be getting more of my band-like music soon, but for now, I'm enjoying my favorite musical. XD
