   Long Review About The Album We've Been Waiting For!! ^_^
Hey everyone. Boy, do I have a post for you today.

Well, Monday my cousins were already here so it killed my guitar and music stuff again. For some reason, I got talked into playing Yu-Gi-Oh with them. COMPLETE waste of my time, especially seeing as how I won. XD After that, we played a lot more video games and did stuff like that until I decided to work on the cosplay some more. I cut out the last foam that I needed and then cut out the fabric for it. I couldn't really get much more done that day so that was it.

Tuesday, I woke up and my cousin's had to annoy me with questions while I tried to learn Dimmu Borgir's "Cataclysm Children". I couldn't take it anymore so I just gave up and had to get my iPod to get them away from me. More games were played before I went to finish up the backpack. I sewed it, packed the foam in, and hand-sewed the top closed. It actually came out a lot better then I thought it would. Then I got my cousin, "Goku", to help put it on my back after I had gotten the velcro on. It looks teh sweet for my first time at it.

Yesterday, I came up here and, for some spontaneous reason, decided to learn the song "Black Metal" by Venom, but I learned the covered version as done by .... do I even need to say it at this point. XD Cradle Of Filth. XD Anywho, that may be the quickest song that I've ever learned! In probably 15 minutes I had it down! After playing MORE video games with them, I went back to start on the last major part of the Harry suit: the tubes. Well, before I could make the tubes, I found out that I need to make the thing on the backpack where the tubes connect to the backpack. So, I did that which took up my day. I did it the same way I did the backpack and it took forever to get that foam packed in. But I prevailed!!!

Then me and my mom went to Wal-Mart. I brought an Angel Sanctuary manga with me to read and also to see what Katan's suit looks like. I was going to get two small belt buckles to use for the belts around his neck. Well, before I got out of the car I got four quarters for a Vault from the vending machines. So, they didn't have the belt buckles, but when I walked past electronics I saw the best thing! THE NEW A.F.I. ALBUM!!!!! INSTANTLY, I picked that thing up and RAN for self-checkout, cause heck if I'm letting a non-A.F.I. fan touch one of their albums! XD Well, I got stuck behind the slowest woman EVER! She only had two items and was so dumb that she bought them seperately. >_< People like that should just go to the normal checkout. Then I got to buy mine and I was stoked because I had a ten and JUST enough ones to get it without using a twenty. Well, when I went to put in the last one, it was the worst conditioned one I've ever seen. >_< It wouldn't take it. So, I had to use the four quarters in my back pocket. So after I had the album, I tried the one on the vending machines. Didn't work. So I went back to the car and got ten dimes. Well, when I was putting them in, I out the last two in at the same time and they got stuck. WHAT THE HELL!??!? So, I hit coin return and got back two quarters and some dimes and used a quarter to try to dislodge it, but it got stuck to. >__________< Well, me being me, I hit the stupid thing and they all fell in nicely. ^__^ YAY! So, I got my Vault, then went to jam to A.F.I.

Okay, here's my review of "Decemberunderground" for those on the site who don't have it. Okay, I'm a MASSIVE fan of their last one "Sing The Sorrow", but this one makes that sound like the biggest piece of trash EVER! It's so fricking awesome! The album starts with "Prelude 12/21" which, if you've seen the director's cut to "Miss Murder", is the creepy ballad at the start. Davey also has a new voice style which I am in love with! It's the "I-think-I'll-sing-like-I'm-in-a-metelcore-band" voice! ^__^ This is not emo screaming like he's done before. These screams mimic something between Brandan from Bleeding Through and James from Eighteen Visions. There are a lot of gothy tracks on here, probably more than on any other album. And believe me, "Miss Murder" is the only song on the album that sounds like that. Everything else either has an ethreal, techno-ish sound or is hardcroe punk. Right now, my favorite song on the album is DEFINITLY "Kill Caustic". Right now, I'm listening to the last song on here, "Endlessly, She Said", for the first time. It's got a nice ballad feel, then goes into a nice traditional A.F.I. sound. Trust me, this album deserves a ten. I can't wait to see the videos for this thing. ^___^ Pick it up now, but in Karen's case I'll just send you a copy for the mp3 player. ^_~ *GLOMPS KAREN*

Now, for today, since the cousins are gone, I'm going to work on this song for the first half of the day and then go into making the tubes. Wish me luck.

Okay, I have a treat for you guys in terms of video. This video has never been shown on television or anywhere else! It's a home video Bam made and edited showing how Ryan Dunn is planning to go over a waterfall in Iceland in a barrel. XDD That Dunn.



This is only part one. I'll have part two next week.

Okay, since I'm on an A.F.I. high, the video this week will be A.F.I. with "Silver And Cold" off their last album "Sing The Sorrow" which I am going to copy for you, K-chan; I just gotta get some packaging and some cases first.This video gives off that depressing feeling the whole way through and the ending was a huge twist for me when I first saw it. I hope you guys like it.



This week's question: What's one band that people would be shocked to know that you like?

Last week's question: The oldest video game that I like to play is Super mario 64 but I haven't played that in forever.

Well, I'll be going now. OH! And I forgot to say that if you get "Decemberunderground" now and get a limited edition one, then the booklet with have the individual profile of one of the band members on it, though you won't know which one you'll get. I got their bassist, Hunter, on mine, and I like him so that's cool. ^^ Rock on, Hunter! Now, I bid you all adieu. Take care and stay (sic).
