Let me just say, It’s absolutely EPIC.  If you don’t like it, then you’ve sniffed one to many sharpies.

Review to Be Extended…  Gotta get to class…

So the first track it starts off with is “Here is the News.”  It’s probably the coolest song to start off with.  Just by hearing the intro, you know it’s an epic CD.  The sound is different from the previous 2 ablums.

Mercenary, Starling, and Underground were on their purevolume.  So you can listen to them there and see how different yet good the music is.  Some of the other songs on their purevolume were on previous albums.

Then comes “When you burn Too Fast,” which at first I didn’t like.  But after listening to it 2 or 3 more times, it started to grow on me and I liked it.  It’s probably one of the more different sounds songs on the album.  It’s slower and has some different styles intertwined in it.

“Through Depths of Twilight” is also a good song.  It’s more rock compared to the other songs.

“Hero’s Homecoming” was not what I expected.  It’s pretty good.  It’s sort of the poppy celebration after “Through Depths of Twilight.”

“Ammodramus” is an “interview” with one of the astronauts from the Gloria.  It’s not really a song, but it has a good beat and what not.

“Fields of the Fallen” is also a good song.  It seems like one of the darker songs on the album.  Sort of like a shock of everything that happened and needing to get back up.

“Always Just Before the Dawn” is a good song, but I don’t really know how to go into detail about the song at the moment.

“Fortress of Solitude” is epic.  Best intro ever.  It’s why people should not use the internet   It starts off slow, then picks up and gets really good.

“Blessed Are the Land Mines” is not a song to listen to when walking home alone at mid-night (at least the first 25 seconds).  After that, it’s a good song.  There’s a positive message, but it might not seem like it at first.

“Aegolius” is another interview.  It’s also interesting to listen to.

“Begin Again” is a great slow song.  It’s a song you can listen to over and over, unless you don’t like slow songs…

“These Frail Hands” is yet another good song.  As you can tell, I’m a BS2 fanboy.  It’s sort of a have hope song.

“Invictus” is absolutely epic.  It’s slow, but you’ll want to sing along and listen to it over and over again.  I think “Invictus” should win an award, but I don’t think that’s really the goal of the song.  You’ll love it.  It’s the best song to end with.  It’s the song you wish you’d here on a tour of BS2 if they ever did a tour.  It’s pretty sad that it’s the last CD, but if you’re going to release a last full length CD, you might as well release an absolutely epic CD and end it with an absolutely epic song.

And yes, I did rip my face off after listening to the CD.  And I am now using a brail keyboard…

I paid for the fastest shipping by the USPS possible because people were talking about how “dedicated” they were as fans and ordered it in July or whatnot, but got regular shipping…  I’m so dedicated, I ordered it the day before it’s released with priority mail… , yes, I know I’m a dork.  Which is why my new side project is dorkify.com!  It’ll host some of my comics, but I wasn’t aware of how busy I’d be this school year, so I’m not sure how far it’ll go…

But the new album sounds like it’ll sound great.  It’ll have 16 tracks (or at least that was what was announced).

1. Here is the News
2. Mercenary
3. Starling
4. Underground
5. When You Burn Too Fast
6. Through Depths of Twilight
7. Hero’s Homecoming
8. AMMODRAMUS
9. Fields of the Fallan
10. Always Just Beneath the Dawn
11. Fortress of Solitude
12. Blessed are the Land Mines
13. AEGOLIUS
14. Begin Again
15. These Frail Hands
16. INVICTUS

And it has awesome cover art:

They posted some of the songs on their myspace and facebook, but if you want to sample some of their music, I recommend listening to them on pureVolume.  It has music from Anti-Meridian, So Far From Home, and The Light of Things Hoped For.  You should buy it too!  Just go to their website at bravesaintsaturn.com and buy it there.  They have the other CDs and some cool shirts.

Latter this month, I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy myself the other 2 CDs and one of the T-Shirts.  I’ll probably post some more dorky fan news when they come in the mail.

Now leave me alone!  You’re distracting me from homework.

If you go to their test flight page, they have 2 decent songs there.  I think Starling is great.  The other one is good, but Starling is much better.

In other news, my Dell is telling me strange things.  In order to update my BIOS, I’m supposed to unplug all USB devices, and then click “OK” to run the installer.  The only problem is there are only USB and Monitor ports on the back of my computer, so the mouse has to be a USB mouse and Keyboard.  So how am I supposed to click “OK” after removing all USB devices?  It’s a brain teaser I guess…

I’ve also been playing with SSH and VNC on my mac.  It’s pretty cool and fun for some practical jokes.  Having my mac run different commands when no one is there.  I made VLC start playing a video and the mac say things like “Hey loser, watch this video.”  Of course it was to people I know and who would laugh at it.  I wouldn’t do that to a complete stranger.  If it were a complete stranger, I’d probably have it say something like “This is God, build me an ark.  Watch this video to find out why.”  Then play a clip from Evan Almighty or something.

So yeah…  Felt I should update my blog.  Looking for some new music and fooling around while summer lasts.

Anyways, back on topic.
The title is from the lyrics of Pre-Ex-Girlfriend by Five Iron Frenzy!
I bought their CD on Amazon MP3, I also bought The Light of Things Hoped For by Brave Saint Saturn!
Both albums rock my socks! I still want to get So Far From Home, but it’s $50… They need to re-release the CD.
Unless someone wants to buy it for me… I’d buy it, but I don’t have enough :’(
I also filled my iPod up… I need a bigger one. The nano isn’t cutting it anymore…
