Some things just take you back... Listening to certain songs or albums do that to me.. Cold's "Thirteen ways to bleed onstage" does that to me. I put it in, and I remembered what it felt like to listen to it.. The first time I ever heard them, or, maybe that I remember, was the song "No One" and Alex played it the first night I went over his apartment. And I was so scared, nervous, but excited. And he played so much music for me that night. He played No One and I went out and bought the CD at Uhart's bookstore the next day. I don't even exaggerate in that sense.. Anyway.. Now whenever I listen to the CD it just brings me back to that state... And I love it. And I REALLY want to get over the three CD hump I get into. I usually tire of a band after about three CD's. Oh sure there are bands who I continue to follow certain songs, but for the most part, after three CD's I tend to grow bored. And Cold is past three CD's. The first self-titled CD I didn't get into as much. I liked their single, but didn't get into it so much. But the second one, the thirteen ways CD is the one that I held soo much of a connection to. On their third album, Year of the Spider, I was excited to get it, and to be honest, I only listened to a handful of songs on it. Like maybe four songs at most I really liked. And their fourth album, and I believe its called A different kind of pain.. I already downloaded some of the tracks, and I can see the direction its going in. Picture this: The first album you picture yourself in a dark place, and everything is foggy. Kind of comforting, but foggy. The next album is still murky, but you just feel this warmth.. It clears up some, but still a hazy feeling. (Love the album so I'm not putting it down, just trying to describe stylistically where they're going) And then the third album, murky, but there are clear spots. The voice lightens up some... Fourth album, much brighter. The voice doesn't have that throaty Pearl Jam/STP/Everyothergrungebandkindasnarl. Its different.. But I really hope that I can get into it.

Who knows?

K.. Waxing WAAY too intellectual for this time of night/morning about a band. :)
