"Love 2"

This album should be coming out sometime in October, I'm not sure of the exact date. I've only listened to this all the way through once, so I don't want to say how i feel about it yet.

Owen
"New Leaves"

download

This is Owen's latest album.... actually, it's not supposed to be released until Septemeber 22nd. Besides Dashboard Confessional, this is the only emo music I agree with. I agree with all of the Kinsella family's music. This album stays pretty true to the other Owen albums, but you can definitely tell that he is trying to keep up with what the other popular indie artists are doing. Regardless, I can't stop listening to this, and you should too... it will make you want to either slit your wrists, never date anyone again, and/or kill all your friends and ex-bfs/gfs.

Public Enemy
"Fear of a Black Planet"

download

Fear of a Black Planet is Public Enemy's third album.. and was nominated for a Grammy! You get exactly what you expect from the group on this album. Lots of samples and so much anger. The amount of rage they have would be scarier if the members were actually scarier/harder, but they seem like pussies to me. Flavor Flav REALLY bothers me and doesn't really contribute anything except noises and/or no more than 3 words at a time. But despite his annoyingness, Public Enemy is always good to listen to if you need to get out your hatred for white people.

The Smiths
"The Smiths"

download

This is the group's debut album, released in 1984. Look, I know a lot of people think Meat is Murder is their best album, but I honestly prefer this one. Morrissey's voice is so soothing, and I just want him to swaddle me and put me to bed every night.
