Day 5: April 30, 2005

Arcade Fire, FUNERAL – In the running for my album of the year. It’s very hard to listen to anything else knowing that this is in the house. A very different and unique musical aggregation, yet eerily familiar sounding overall. Some of the best lyrics I’ve heard in years.

Porcupine Tree, DEADWING – The newest release by a favorite band. Solid prog.

Stereophonics, LANGUAGE SEX VIOLENCE OTHER – Newest release. These guys are going in a very different direction from previous albums, and its making them sound like a hundred other bands. Too bad.

Off the game today. Went on a little cd buying binge today and had to listen to some of the new stuff before returning to the plan. Porcupine Tree and Stereophonics will return.
