Album Reviews for Night Visions, Hurry Up We’re Dreaming, and Bad Blood.

So every Monday, I am gonna do album reviews. It’s pretty self explanatory so I will just get started.

Night Visions(Imagine Dragons)- 4/10. As much as I love the meaning behind some of the songs on this album and the songs themselves, I must say that it screams “Hey this band is having an identity crisis!” Nothing is consistent throughout, other than, the deeply emotional lyrics, the sound is changing every song and it is severely disappointing. There is nothing more to say other than it puts you through agony because you can’t be sure exactly how much you like Imagine Dragons based on all the different stuff on the album..

Hurry Up We’re Dreaming(M83)- 8/10. Boy oh boy, if you like electronic music with subtle vocals that sometimes get a little creepy sounding, go buy this album, NAOW! I remember the first time I listened to the intro on this album, I got so creeped out. I wanted to hide in my closet. Once, you get past the creepiness, it is a great album that defines M83 musically greatly. It shows the definite style of the band. Another thing is that you will never get the tune of some of those songs out of your head and you can never exactly figure out what they are saying (coughmidnightcitycough) through a whole song, but it sounds glorious. Another thing I love is how perfectly imaginative some of the music is, like on one track it is a kid talking about magical frogs the whole time. One last note is that this music deffo ain’t for everyone.

Bad Blood(Bastille)- 10/10. Ok ok this review may be a little biased as I have this love for their music. The lyrics are emotionally raw and wonderfully sung, and the music is beautiful. This is another album of which the songs will get stuck in your head. My only problem is the unaccounted for song at the end that seems to be talking about an albatross..oh please..

 

 

A Rant About My Antisocialness and Society

I am about the most social person in the universe. NOT! For example, yesterday was my little twin sisters’ birthday. I don’t know if that was grammatically correct, but that is beside the point. So, of course, there was a party, involving my loud family. Trust me, that is NOT my cup of tea. So, I of course, got food to eat with everyone else, and ate. Then, it was time to open presents, and guess what I do? I run upstairs, grab my sketchbook, a pencil, and an eraser and come back down. While my sisters open my presents, I block out the world and draw. Then, cake and Ice cream, I lifted up my head long enough to sing and scarf down some ice cream. My annoying, loud, immature second cousin was looking over my shoulder while I was drawing, and it was annoying me, so I went to my room….and didn’t come out until everyone but my step grandparents, were gone. But then, they wanted to go look at the flooded river, and I didn’t so I stayed at home and vegged out.

That is how things always go with me, I don’t enjoy the company of people, other than a select few that have won my heart over. I mean I want more friends, but at the same time, that takes too much effort, because people really easily get on my nerves and are too normal. I mean, I am really socially awkward, and people get mad at me for that, but I don’t try to cover that up with being artificial. I wish people would just act like themselves and not be plastic people. With today’s society, if you don’t blend in, you are cast out. So you must have those $120 jeans? Most of my jeans cost under $30 dollars. I have two pairs of Banana Republic jeans, but one pair was a gift (even though I was dismayed about the $90 pricetag) and the other pair was $3.99 from the goodwill. Tell me, what is so special about those $120 jeans, because my $15 colored Rue 21 jeans feel just like my $90 Banana Republic jeans. Oh what about those Hollister shirts that leave nothing to the imagination? They are way overpriced too, and uncomfortable, and tacky. Ok, maybe that is just my opinion but still -_- Please…. That is why I wear tunics and button downs, baggy sweaters, and regular t-shirts. Oh, and your yoga pants? How about we call them leggings with waistbands? Those plus a tight fitting Hollister t-shirt equals complete immodesty, yet for the most part, my generation sees nothing wrong with it.

Also, there is no ambition other than what is in. Sports? In. Being friends with whoever is cool and everyone else is friends with?

I am worried about my generation -_- and done ranting,

P.S. I just did an unbelievably big art supply haul on Amazon, when I get all of my prettiful new stuff, I will be making a post about it. Also, I am gonna add some of my drawings to a new page labeled “art gallery” for the world to see.
