I am one of very few that thinks U2 really isn’t that great, other than The Joshua Tree and a few other random songs. The fact that Rolling Stone gave the new release five stars pretty much guarantees I won’t like it.

But Neko Case… ohhh Neko Case. If only you were ten years younger. Anyway, you already know I like her new album, so there’s that.

Wild Light’s debut is catchy, but I bet the feeling won’t last long. We shall see.

And for experimentation’s sake, I’ll be checking out the new Jesse Harris album, seeing how I just saw him live opening for some douchebag.

   I mean, I REALLY like U2. For a while I would say they were my favorite band. However, giving the new album 5 stars is just ridunkulous.

   Jeez Jay, you were right again. The new Plea for Purging is punching me in the nuts right now.
