Great Day for Music

Those of you who know me best know it takes a lot out of me waiting for a new CD to come out.  I’m lucky if a band I’m interested in has one CD come out in a month.  HOWEVER, today, April 22nd, brings three CDs to the table.  I’ve listened to all three of them over and over again for a few weeks now and I gotta tell ya, two of the three are amazing.

1.  Goldfinger – Hello Destiny
My favorite band and the style of music I grew up listening to.  It’s not as great as their first three full lengths, but it is better than their last two.  Check it out – it’s a great summer CD.

2.  Story of the Year – The Black Swan
Another great band that had an amazing first CD and a shitty follow up.  However, this time they teamed up with John Feldmann (of Goldfinger glory) again and have put together some great new songs.  I’m very happy.  P.S.  Great for the gym.

3.  Ashlee Simpson – Bittersweet World
I know what you’re thinking, Ashlee has no talent.  I’d argue against that for her first two CDs, but this third one sucks.  End of story.  Maybe I’ll like it in a few weeks – doubt it.
