Omg work was ub3r busy today.
So the new Unwritten Law? Eh. I new they were going down the drain once they kicked their only original band member out, Wade, the drummer. He was one kick-ass guy who was strictly in it for the music as opposed to the lead singer, Scott. I sometimes think Scott does what he does just so he has something to write about which is not much. Either a song about a girl, being "fucked" up or being sorry for being "fucked up" all the time. No matter. The new album is sub-par compared to their finest of albums, Blue Room and Oz factor which rank on my scale as some of the best old skewl punk albums one could own. What I mean by old skewl is early to mid nineties (old to me) for all you true punkers out there mocking my classics
Wade. You rocked and always will my friend.
And the new Goldfinger album. I personally think John has spent too much time producing these bands who are to me classified as a gummy combination of Backstreet Boys and Blink 182 (The Used, Story of the Year) and forgot where his true roots lie. Not that I have anything against Blink 182 but what I do have against them is how they basically watered down their vocals and toned down their songs energy-wise. Which brings me back to Goldfinger. They are making that same exact transition. Yes they lost their close friend, lead guitarist, Charlie, and people swear its never been the same but their most previous album Open Your Eyes totally proved to me that despite the subpar, mediocore music that plagues the airwaves and losing a lead guitarist plus friend, they can still make good music. This ablum to me though sparks the same thoughts as Blink 182's self titled Cd. Change. Which dissapoints me. Yes there is speculation on what prompts the change. Money? MTV? Producers? Us? Blah.
I got a gig this weekend at some warehouse. I hope I have fun

It boils down to money or attention. Either they sell their souls for mountains of cash, or compromise their credibility for the love of the dipshit masses.
