I have This Providence, The Decemberists, New Found Glory, and A Day to Remember's releases. Below I will evaluate their awesomeness in order of which ones I like best.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1.The Decemberists-The Hazards of Love</span><br /><br />The first time I listened to this I was nonplussed by it. I've been a Decemberists fan for about 4 years now and this seemed a disappointing release with a few good moments here and there. I decided to give it another listen because I thought I'd warm up to it. And boy did I. The songs are like puzzle pieces in the winding story that unfolds. While some pieces may be beautiful all on their own, It is best seen when they all slide aimlessly together forming a masterpiece. Following the harder rock trend of <span style="font-style:italic;">The Crane Wife</span> album The Hazards of Love comes across as a Folk/Metal/Rock Opera mash up that is amazingly not as awkward as it sounds. It's my first 'gotta have on vinyl release of 2009. (I hope they release it on vinyl! *crosses fingers*<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2.A Day to Remember-Homesick<br /></span><br />I can't believe I thought that this band was screamo back when they released <span style="font-style:italic;">For Those Who Have Heart</span>. Honestly on this release I'm now leaning towards pop punk, but it's hard to call it that with such a thundering bass and the bite of McKinnon's throaty growl. It certainly has pop punk sensibility though, complete with hand claps, group vocals, and massive hooks. On the other end of the spectrum it hits pretty hard and there are some pretty fricken sweet breakdowns included. I was sold from the first group vocals that opened the first track mimicking the heavy guitars that follow immediately after a cry of "Let's Go!". I knew right there I was going to like this album a helluva lot. And it's in no way a letdown even in it's (cringe!) ballads.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3.New Found Glory-Not Without a Fight</span><br /><br />All pop punk bands better stop slouching and bring their A-Game, because New Found Glory (the self-proclaimed Kings of Pop Punk) have returned to the scene. They're not breaking into dance music or wearing neon either, and Pundik isn't relying on Auto Tune to make his lyrics stick. This is an NFG album. If you have ever liked them in the past, you're going to like this album. If that's all you needed to hear than feel free to stop reading. So the last album released (<span style="font-style:italic;">Coming Home</span>) was softer to say the least than it's predecessors. It was still an amazing release and rivals for one of my favorite albums by NFG. If you thought they'd grown out of their genre and were post-pop punk, this album was their memo to you that you were dead wrong. They bring all of their talent to the table releasing some of their catchiest music yet. <span style="font-style:italic;">Don't Let Her Pull You Down</span> is an anthem and a half, while <span style="font-style:italic;">Truck Stop Blues</span> had me singing the chorus the second time I heard it. The only fault of the record is it is too much the same. All the NFG tactics are there, but they don't stray away from the formula much. It's ends up being a great album, just not the most memorable in their already stacked catalogue.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />This Providence-Who Are You Now?</span><br /><br />I'll start this one off negatively, just for kicks. Why would you ever redo <span style="font-style:italic;">My Beautiful Rescue</span>? It was perfect the way it was. It didn't need to be transformed into some dance pop song. Alright, griping over. This album is definitely worth a listen, especially if you've never heard this band before. While nothing is as snarky as <span style="font-style:italic;">A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing</span> was on their self titled release, it certainly does have it's glory filled moments. My favorite of which is <span style="font-style:italic;">That Girl's A Trick</span>. I can't get enough of this song and it's the first one I go to if I want to be selective. The album seems to have a different feel than the last. I don't know where the Christian undertones went (maybe I'm just not reading enough into the lyrics), and they've gone more for a pop/rock approach rather than their Fueled By Ramen emo style. It sounds a lot like <span style="font-style:italic;">Santi</span> era The Academy Is... did. Which isn't bad to say the least, but I was hoping for a step up from their self titled rather than a step sideways.Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-91003484221537173062009-02-24T16:27:00.001-08:002009-04-22T14:17:15.855-07:00This Year is Going To Rock!Anyone else think that this WILL BE the year of pop punk?

I miss the simpler days of being a middle schooler and carpooling with my friends and their moms. I miss playing N64 at my friends house with wicked games like James Bond: Eagle Eye. I miss being a rebel without a cause or a post pubescent voice. I miss that crap and I'll prolly miss high school when I'm a college student. So here's some flashback vids of some very influential songs of my awkward middle school years that led up to my now awkward high school years. The difference is that then I wasn't trying to figure out who I was. I just hung out with my friends. And this is what we were about.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QDV4E9ldelM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QDV4E9ldelM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NKsQe31ApMs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NKsQe31ApMs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OBh0becnDg0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OBh0becnDg0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIFh5wwkRZE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIFh5wwkRZE</a><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WkVx7km_enM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WkVx7km_enM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Unfortunately I wasn't cool enough to be into Midtown at the time, but if I had been exposed I would have definitely liked this as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBB0PqnqxZ0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBB0PqnqxZ0</a>Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-31173039368474920182008-11-13T20:05:00.000-08:002008-11-13T20:06:06.160-08:00I Can Be Random!you make jelly. we'll go on picnick sex hammers. today is farty bancharoo. let's get into GAY!Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-73709888820221764082008-11-13T19:42:00.001-08:002008-11-13T20:09:56.629-08:00If Life Is What You Make of It, I'll Make Mine a Circus<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com/bigmap/citywide/curiosities/winter/19slush03-10-05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 732px; height: 549px;" src="http://www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com/bigmap/citywide/curiosities/winter/19slush03-10-05.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Hey, I haven't vented on here for quite awhile. Honestly, now that it's not summer, I don't have the same spirit as I did. I loathe fall, it's probably the worst season known to man. All those bright colors of life are now smeared with the muddy mush of slush. The emo in me would love it, but this year I'm not in the mood to be moody and full of gloom. This year, I want to start living the way that I want to and the way I should have been living all along. I'm not perfect by far, but I'm trying to cut the crap a little. I can be a real dick to people sometimes and I'm admittedly a very good alienator (apparently this isn't a real word, but it should be cuz it rocks. I am the ALIENATOR. I digress). A big part of me just wants to shut off my phone and listen to The Format while I read comic books. This antisocial attitude is just the terrible season getting to me I guess. For some reason seeing you favorite season just die away is really rough on you.<br /><br /> On that same note, on Halloween there was a monster in my yard. It was big and had gnashing teeth. It tore down my trees in the front yard leaving my home barren and alien to me. It was death on two wheels, and that's when I knew for sure that I hated fall. Usually the leaves on the trees fall off making them naked and ugly, but this year they took the whole kit-and-kaboodle. The sick part is that my parents didn't even ask me before they had a bulldozer knock out some of my childhood scenery. Ya, this season sucks hardcore.<br /><br /> Oh, and school? It just distracts me from my mental chi. I get headaches all the time now and I've already had 4 standardized tests. On my last ones I just gave up on the conceptual math and instead made pretty designs out of the sea of bubbles of the test sheet. I haven't really seen any of my friends either. They're busy now too. Thank God that fall leads to winter.<br /><br />The sparkling wonderland filled with lights and family. Something to look forward to I guess.Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-57366614581076140892008-11-12T20:07:00.000-08:002008-11-12T20:35:23.115-08:00A Real DownerA REAL DOWNER<br /><br />{Chorus}<br />You're Letting Me Down, Down, Down<br />That's all I ever hear<br />Down, Down, Down, Everyday the same spiel<br />Well if I'm Letting you down so much<br />Why don't you lower your expectations?<br /><br />It's hard to keep living up to this person you think I am<br />If I ever was this man, boy, I'll surely be damned<br />Because I can't remember a time in my life<br />When I was good enough<br />Well, you know what, I'm good enough as it is<br />And that's all there is<br />To it<br /><br />{Chorus}<br /><br />I admit I've fallen off the beam<br />I've quit every organized team<br />But please don't give up on me<br />You don't know how much that hurts<br />You only make It worse<br />I break down with every verse<br /><br />Down, Down, Down<br />Down, Down, Down<br />You're breaking me down<br />Down, Down, Down<br /><br />{Chorus}Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-65971845079558030822008-11-12T16:57:00.000-08:002008-12-17T14:03:47.862-08:00Early, But I Wanna Get Some Nominees For Best Album of 2008---In No Specific Order---<br /><br />BEST OVERALL ALBUM<br /><br />Forgive Durden-Razia's Shadow<br />House of Heroes-The End Is Not The End<br />MGMT-Oracular Spectacular<br />Fleet Foxes-Fleet Foxes<br />Death Cab For Cutie-Narrow Stairs<br />Bon Iver-Dear Emma, Forever Ago<br />Amanda Palmer-Who Killed Amanda Palmer?<br />Anthony Green-Avalon<br />Dr. Dog-Fate<br />Good Old War- Only Way to be Alone<br />Relient K-The Bird and The Bee Sides<br />Jack's Mannequin-The Glass Passenger<br />Jenny Lewis-Acid Tongue<br />Lydia-Illuminate<br />Paper Rival-Dialog<br />Portugal.

It's mainly because I'm still in utter shock from the warped tour! It was amazing!!!!! I got to meet my heroes Relient K and see them perform live! I also saw Bring Me the Horizon, and they have a crazy awesome live performance. Even better I got to spend this with my friends, all of whom are irreplaceable to me. I only wish I could have taken more of my friends, especially Nathan, who got jipped out of going. On Sunday I leave for Chicago for vacation. I hope that I'll still be posting stuff even on vacation. Sorry that this is so not enough blog to cover my absence, but you still have all my love!Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-22710920551299557782008-07-30T19:37:00.000-07:002008-07-30T19:45:55.806-07:00Stay Out All Night, 'Cause Rest Is For The Dead<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2708235-Travel_Picture-Sunset_and_Flowers.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2708235-Travel_Picture-Sunset_and_Flowers.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I'm going to break down on the first day of school. I've been trying my best to block out all visions of textbooks and planners from my mind. This summer can't end. It's been so amazingly wonderful for me. I don't want to watch the sun sink and drown in the depths of fall. From my fourth of July drama to catching fireflies in the park. To the future excursion to the Warped Tour with all my friend or summer camp nights talking around the fire. This summer is my life. I never want it to end.<br /><br />To all the friends who make me smile when I'm depressed or hug me for no reason at all... you will always live in summer for me. Let it never die.Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-33816022716123433502008-07-30T15:24:00.000-07:002008-07-30T15:25:26.905-07:00Ummmmmmmmm....... wtf?<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/32WjO7IiHpI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/32WjO7IiHpI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-40279942805226489832008-07-30T14:45:00.000-07:002008-07-30T14:54:52.805-07:00Ahead Of MeI wrote this after a particularly sucky day of work.

I'm at a friend's house and am using his wifi to blog off my mp3 player. Like many of my topics, this entry has to do with friends and my ever going quest to understand them. I still don't though. What turns an acquaintance into a friend? What are the qualifications and necessities of being one? <br />And when is it time to tell your friend that you want nothing to do with them?<br /> I'm having some problems with a few of these questions. It's weird that so much emotion goes into just an idea. We feel the need for this idea, because we all want to be noticed and loved. But beyond that need for human interaction, would there really be any grounds for friendship? Are we all just working at selfish motives and want others to acknowledge our existence?<br /> To all these hollow and depressing questions I have one thing to say: "Who the hell cares?" This idea is real because we made it real. It really seems to mean something because we need it to. Without friendship or love, we break down to the bleak, bare underbelly of the human mind. Which is where our society seems to be heading.<br /> Do yourself and everyone else a favor and don't forget how to feel. Don't forget friendship.Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-86937525863002595362008-07-24T21:22:00.000-07:002008-07-24T21:29:05.853-07:00I'm Officially Addicted!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgVxXJlI/AAAAAAAAAG8/J4U9-fhFPdo/s1600-h/sheep.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgVxXJlI/AAAAAAAAAG8/J4U9-fhFPdo/s400/sheep.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226803956140156498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgeJy1-I/AAAAAAAAAHE/_uA0j0dbwuY/s1600-h/bizkits.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgeJy1-I/AAAAAAAAAHE/_uA0j0dbwuY/s400/bizkits.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226803958390118370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWghyHTlI/AAAAAAAAAHM/EElZB-8I7JU/s1600-h/hugs.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWghyHTlI/AAAAAAAAAHM/EElZB-8I7JU/s400/hugs.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226803959364537938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgv-ov1I/AAAAAAAAAHU/Xb5xQhkNG5M/s1600-h/palmtrees.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_VyD_iCKjWj8/SIlWgv-ov1I/AAAAAAAAAHU/Xb5xQhkNG5M/s400/palmtrees.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226803963175157586" /></a><br />Ya, I know.... even more....

NOBODY likes emo kids except for emo kids themselves. If you don't believe me, I have proof and lots of it. Whole countries hate emos. Mexico, England, and Russia are all revolting on the growing scene. Dumbest of all is that scene kids hate emos....... wait what? Ya, apparently they're not the same thing. Emo kids are fine and lots of people think I'm emo. I'm not though; I'm a sunshine emo at best. At least I don't hate them though, geez. <br /><br /><br />A la the PROOF:<br /><br />http://www.thedailyswarm.com/headlines/mob-emo-bashings-sweep-mexicotelevis-vjs-rants-inspire-violence/<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-566481/Why-child-safe-sinister-cult-emo.html<br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7425450.stm<br /><br />http://www.nme.com/news/my-chemical-romance/38392<br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/scene-kids-are-like-so-not-wannabe-emos/2008/03/29/1206207488553.htmlHadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06021267922561911264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436350523085607.post-58862369096566872442008-07-24T12:08:00.001-07:002008-07-24T12:10:31.676-07:00Bring Me the Horizon- You Are.....
