Wow, an entire month since our last post. You'd think we both have other blogs that we're posting all of our wit and wisdom to. The truth is that we have no wit, nor any wisdom, so our other blogs get ignored as much as this one. Given that 1/12 of a year has passed since anything's been posted here, I figured I should come up with an excuse for a new post.So with that, I give you what will be my standard filler when we need some content: I'm listening to ...
Our first edition features the new Relient K album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago. A nice progression of their prior work that characterizes the gradual maturation of the band. There is more reliance on vocals with the album, and some nice harmonics that carry some of the songs. Of course, the typical clever and catchy songs that have made Relient K so popular with their last few albums. Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care exemplifies this one for me. Catchiest tunes would be Come Right Out And Say It, Must Have Done Something Right, and Up And Up.
A solid recent release that is sure to please fans of Relient K, and likely attract many more.

Nice review. I'll have to check out this album. You have now given me the confidence that it could be worth it. I like this part of the review: "is more reliance on vocals". Don't think that wit didn't go over my head. One little error though, I believe. Your spell-check wouldn't have picked this up; you accidentally said "harmonics" instead of "harmonies". I could be wrong, but I have yet to hear Relient K using any harmonics but they do like their harmonies.
That probably is what I meant ... I'm musically inept enough to make those mistakes, so I'll take your word for it.
The 'reliance on vocals' pun was unintended, but I should probably keep my mouth shut and take credit for being clever.
You two should really post something. I think that betwen the two of you you would be able to post something.
