Thanks alot, Dave Grohl! Well, at least for now, I am disappointed. I almost bought this album the first week it came out (when Best Buy sells it for $11.99), but I couldn't make it to the store before the next Sunday, when the price went up to $13.99. When I saw it went down to $9.99 in the latest Best Buy flyer, I thought I'd take a chance.
Maybe I'll grow to like it. Maybe it'll be one of those "good listen" albums, where you can listen to it all the way through and really enjoy it. U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is like that, as is All The Things That You Can't Leave Behind, though each one of those has some great, great songs on it. After one pass through Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, I haven't been impressed. I kinda feel like my 10 bucks was wasted. I'll give it some more listens and see.
I got some copies of the latest issue of HM yesterday and am very happy with how it came out. I'm real glad I fixed one mistake that I saw in the album reviews section, which comes on the heals of a reader pointing out that the previous issue had the wrong album title listed in the Ratings section for Emery's latest. I saw this mistake (where I had Bradley Hathaway suddenly signed to Solid State Records, instead of You Are A Snowflake, his private imprint thing).
