So now I add this mood thing and stuff.

Music: Thursday-Division St.
Mood: Ecstasied

Decided to add that to every post now. It is really little things that matter.

This weekend alone I have bought three new CDs...which is a high point for me. I usually only end up getting one if I'm lucky, by doing chores or whatever.

As I said, I withdrew money from the money I've been trying to save from KFC. So now I only have like 80 bucks.

I bought A Perfect Circle's Thirteenth Step, Thursday's War all the Time, and Amorphis's Am Universum.

The only CD so far that I've had enough of a listen to is the Perfect Circle one.

The CD is decent...even further than that. It's great. In parts, at least.

It starts out with "The Package" which is...I believe..the longest song on the CD. Very good song, it starts off slow and seething, then explodes. Not the mention that Maynard, Tool's vocalist, is the vocalist for this band...so that makes me instantly fall in love with the band.

All of the other songs on this CD are exceedingly great as well. Although I really don't like "Weak and Powerless" or "A Stranger" or "The Outsider." Not to mention there are some really odd, short songs on the disc. "Crimes" is basically Maynard counting up to...thirteen I believe. And "Lullaby" is basically some driveling by whatever the female whatever is in the band. (I should know...but I don't know her name, or whatever.)

"The Package" and "The Noose" and "Pet" are probably the highest points of this CD. "The Package" and "The Noose" both start off slow and seething, then explode so beautifully. That's mainly why I like them. And "Pet" just has this really awesome instrumental riff to it, as well as very nice lyrics.

And I'd say currently my favorite song is "The Noose." I basically just love the lyrics...and how Maynard sings it. I don't know, it's hard to put into words. I'll post up the lyrics though.

"Blue" is also a pretty decent song that's near like "Pet" in that it's loud mostly and almost the whole song.

I get this feeling that this album should have more songs on it though for whatever reason. The CD itself ends with "Lullaby" which is kind of a horrible way to end it...since "Lullaby" is only some 2 minutes of basically nothing.

It's kind of like, "So yes, you have a lot of amazing songs on this album, and I expect that to follow through and to be prolific, so there should be quanity as well as quality." Or something like that...I just feel this album could've been a little bit longer. Maybe two more songs. That would've made listening to the thing as a whole all in one sit feel more whole.

So I definitely love the album.

Otherwise, I haven't really listened to the other ones. I'll go into them as I feel I should.
