album review

An album to definitly listen to is the one entitled “recovery” by Eminem. Many people didn’t like his first reappearance album “relapse”, their favorite album still remaining his third studio album Marshall Mathers LP, which is also my favorite. But giving his old album a run for its money, “recovery” is an amazing work, a group of songs that are just beautiful to behold. Stan, one of Eminems best songs in my humble opinion, backed by the many fans who share the same view as me, will probably never be topped. But “beautiful” off of his new album is such a great song. If you haven’t checked out his new album yet, your probably not a fan of his anyway. Even if you’re not a fan, still check it out. This album has a completely different sound to it then his “relapse” album, which had a more sinister, gunshots and chainsaws kind of vibe to them. Most of his songs involved blood, rape, and dismemberment. “Recovery” carries almost none of that in it, going back to his older style, and his older style is why he is such a well known figure. The songs somehow carry less of a heavy weight top them like his previous album did, and he even addresses the difference in one of his songs claiming that in his last album he was still flushing the drugs out of his system. Overall, “recovery” is one of his great works and anyone who is a fan of his style of music should check it out.

i Know this means something

It seems it’s fairly easy to become desensitized in today’s society to emotions, such as horror at seeing a murder or awe at some momentous natural event like a volcano eruption. This is probably because of the media, and the way the information is given to us. Or perhaps it’s the games we play growing up, call of duty and dead space making us into emotionless beings. (Which I don’t agree with, one look at me and you can tell call of duty has a firm place in my weekend enjoyment routine) Whatever the reason, it would be debated into the ends of earth, so I won’t give a reason. What I will say is that it’s hard in modern society to see or hear something and say “that means something.” People rarely see a sight or hear a sentence and feel moved on a profound level, perhaps because there are less sights and great things said nowadays. Or maybe the people themselves have changed and are bloated entitled children who are never pleased or content and are always crying over something. Again, whatever the reason, the fact still remains that myself personally, have seen a lot and heard a lot of things, but I haven’t really been moved by anything. No event or scene or sentence has made me stop and examine what that means to the whole. Perhaps others may have something, a birth of a sibling, a cave they went into and found cave people or something. But it hasn’t happened to me, and I don’t really feel a loss to not have experienced something of that nature.
