New Ears

Sometimes when I'm listening to my ipod stereo in my car, I kind of have the tense feeling of shutting it off. I have 3,955 songs on my Ipod. With that amount, one would be foolish to be bored with what they have, but sometimes I do. I just get the feeling of boredom and start to loathe the repeating of my playlists. But who doesn't get sick and tired of what they listen to? I guess that's why bands typically release an album every 2 years or so.

Sometimes I wish I could erase my memory of some albums I've listened to and re-listen to them so I can remember the feelings I had when I heard that first guitar riff or that machine gunned double bass pedal kick. To re-collect that feeling of awe is something worth reliving.

So in response to that feeling, I've come up with the top ten albums I would want to re-listen to.

10. Minus The Bear - Menos El Oso

9. Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be

8. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

7. Alkaline Trio - Goddammit

6. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

5. Finch - What It Is To Burn

4. Underoath - Define the Great Line

3. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound

2. The Helio Sequence - Keep Your Eye's Ahead

1. Set Your Goals - Mutiny!

Of course I could make a list probably up to 50 but I usually top ten's get the meaning across.

God I love top ten lists.
