(no subject)
so it's been awhile since i posted. my job has been very stressful lately and seems to take up more of my time. i find myself completely exhausted at the end of the day and usually can't be bothered.
my one bright spot at work is that i have the kind of job that allows me to listen to a cd player or an ipod at my desk. i can really blast the shit and everyone knows if they want to talk to me they either have to tap me (the girl to my right rattles my chair, which annoys the fuck out of me), or send me an e-mail, even if they are just a few desks away. needless to say i have had The Black Parade on an endless loop.
on a personal level, i have immediate family members who are battling cancer and other life threatening illnesses and still have a long road ahead of them. this album is a comfort to my soul. i won't go into detail, suffice it to say that it makes me feel better.
on an entertainment level, i fucking love this album! i'm not going to do a breakdown of the songs, or list my favorite songs. that has been done by others more succinct than myself. the band sounds tight as shit, but what i keep coming back to is gerard's voice. he sounds so much more confident. he really seems to have matured vocally on this album and some of the things he does just fucking floors me. i'm sure a lot of people will disagree. the range of what i listen to is fairly limited, and i know he doesn't always "bring it" live, and maybe it's just cause i'm extremely biased, but i think i love gerard.
give me a shot to remember
and you can take all the pain away from me
a kiss and i will surrender
