Thanks for the tip Peter. I'll have to check it out.
I also heard Pearl Jams new anti-war release today. Very strong emotional stuff. The best I have heard from them in a while. I'm glad to see people are finally speaking out.

rdwarn, I posted about the new Tool disc here. I've since listened to it on my M22s and SVS PB12. Lots of great music coming out recently.

I've heard a little of the Pearl Jam CD, too (curiously named "Pearl Jam"). I'll give it a better listen when I can, but I liked the raw feel it the couple tracks I listened to had.

I went on a mild cd shopping spree

Tool - 10,000 Days
Tool - Aenima (I figured it was about time I own this...)
Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam (the new one)
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror (best of)
David Gray - Life In Slow Motion
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise (on my sister's recommendation)
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism
Miles Davis - The Complete Rebirth of Cool

I haven't gotten around to the Pearl Jam yet, but I've listened to the Tool and David Gray, and have just started on Death Cab For Cutie. I really like the David Gray album - all around excellent songwriting - Ain't No Love might be the best ballad I've heard all year. The new Tool is well - like Peter said, Tool in fine form - an awesome thing for the ears. Death Cab For Cutie is interesting - on the surface it seems pretty poppy but it's got some depth to it that I'll need to listen to a little more.

Sufjan Stevens is a really interesting artist. He is doing a project where he travels to each state, spends some time living there and then writes an album about that state (things that happened there, local stories, famous figures, etc). It's very ambitious and he goes through a really wide variety of styles on Illinoise. Somewhat like a cross between Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith and Wilco. Some of the tracks are pretty boring, but there are a few stunners and as an album it's a really interesting experience. Definitely worth a listen.

FYI, Death Cab is available in SACD. I haven't heard the new Sufjan album, but have his "Michigan" album. Very time consuming project he is attempting.

I'm mad at myself for not picking up the new Tool CD last week wen it was on sale for ten bucks.

huh, what?

Hmm, what are you talking about?

(thanks)
