4.5 superb
Arcade Fire Funeral
Quite obviously a tribute (whether a remebrance of the happy times or sad) to premature ironic death, Arcade Fire's debut...in about a few months afterwards the initial release placed them on the map for much greater expectations. Combining a compound mixture of obscure lineup and excellent arrangement with the somewhat downer theme of blunt death, which is clear, but hope also found a place here. Funeral is a river, metaphorically, and supports that statement well with its flowing instrumental accompanied by an ecstatic vocal display to forge a path that transports you from one side of the Neighborhood to the other. Funeral is the epitome of group arrangement. Almost reminiscent of Opera, what with the intriguing tales and fleeting voices, Funeral is simply put a melancholy masterpiece.

Death Cab For Cutie Plans
Of all of Death Cab's albums, this 'Plans' record has to be the favorite. Easily. The mood here is so much more mellow and dank, reminds me of peering out a blurred window at dawn after quite a rainy night. With such a masterpiece like 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' and the superb poppy upbeats of 'Crooked Teeth' Plans becomes a ballad told by a very talented band to very curious people. I'm in love with this album, and the frontmans voice as well. Probably the biggest upside of the record is him. The other band members do a good job at creating a dreamy atmosphere for him to sing over and succeed in grasping your ears and sucking them into a neverending whirlpool of sleepy rock.

Why this album is so acclaimed as to be one of the finest works of punk-rock in history I will never understand, but I can comprehend why everyone likes it. Its aggressive instrumentation and chant-like vocals probably create a hauntingly awesome atmosphere for fans of the band, and specifically this record. But I can't say that does it at all for me. I'd take Sex Pistols over this band, and thats really saying something when it comes to me. Jello Biafra I must say employs one of the worst vocal displays I've ever heard in my life, and the rest of the band does absolutely nothing to redeem him. They're attitude twoard the music greatly reminds me of Flipper. But of course there is light amongst the shadows, and songs like 'Kill The Poor' and 'Chemical Warfare' are most obviously good punk tracks. Holiday In Cambodia really slays me. What do you all see in that song?

Opeth Still Life
Jesus Christ. I honestly don't think that I've heard a more boring Metal album in my life. Personally I think alot of the genre is kinda average, but when I heard about Opeth I was greatly intrigued at the mixture of progressive rock and just plain Metal. Sounds cool enough. Though, I went into this album expecting heavy progressive, or just simply alot heavier than I soon found it out to be. It starts off well with a promising opener but after that first track the band seems to never really feel what I needed them to. I would have liked it to be a bit more lively and interesting (well, touche Opeth, you are an interesting band). It just came off as extremely boring. Their arrangements are top notch, but just don't do it for me.
