Have you listened to the rest of Love Drunk yet? I know the lead single was completely whack, but the rest of the album is actually pretty alright, although not as good as BLG.
Other bands I thought put out good stuff that you might not have heard were Chevelle and Taking Back Sunday.
Getting bne tomorrow.
I haven't listened to BLG yet, but I'll probably stay in 2006 mode by listening to 5 Minutes to Midnight and Thunder instead of their new one.
Taking Back Sunday has a special spot in my heart because they're from Long Island (which is huge) and they started everything for me. New Again was alright, way better then Louder Now (which sucked ass) but not even close to Tell All Your Friends. (the blueprint for every band of the genre)
I never liked Chevelle. I don't really like that kind of southern rock, I guess.
I Dl'ed the new Every Time I Die, I have high hopes for that. I also didn't even realize that Saosin, Alexisonfire, and August Burns Red dropped new ones this year.
