new tunes

Yesterday I finally grabbed (off the internet, not the shelf at BBY) the new Foo Fighters, Garbage, and System of a Down albums. I must say, all three are good, but In Your Honor (the Foo Fighters album) is certainly the best. I don't know if it gets the Petarman seal of approval, but it definitely gets a thumbs-up from me.

It's good to hear new tunes from Shirley et al., but Bleed Like Me isn't as strong as their self-titled or Version 2.0. Then again, I haven't given BLM all that much time to grow on me, and Garbage and V2.0 are both pretty high standards to begin with. One could argue that In Your Honor, which required no time to grow on me, must be better, but I don't necessarily buy it, since Beck's two most recent albums both took at least a couple listens to get me really going, and both are excellent, IMHO.

I haven't had a chance to listen to Mesmerize all that much yet, but judging by the single it's much weaker than Toxicity was. "BYOB" just doesn't compare to the likes of "Aerials," "Toxicity," or "Chop Suey!" (POWER CORD!!!).

Enough. If you know how, download them from positron.
