Friday was a big day. An expensive day, I should say. Not only did The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD release, but also Tonight Alive’s new album, Limitless, which I was considerably more excited about. So excited was I that I bought it right away on iTunes, even though I know that I’ll eventually be double-dipping to get a physical copy.
Because that’s just the kind of guy I am.
A guy who’s bad with money. Don’t act surprised. This has already been established.
Anyway…
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
You know, I don’t let myself squeal like a little fangirl often enough. It’s really quite a lot of fun. You should give it a shot if you haven’t.
Tonight Alive had released a few singles before the album proper dropped, all of which were very distinct from each other, as well as being very distinct from the band’s prior music. Obviously, the reaction from “fans” was not very positive, what with the internet and all. There are a few positive comments scattered throughout YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc, but for the most part it was the “This is not the same as your last album, never listening to you again” fare.
While not every single clicked with me right away, I did really get into the lot of ’em with a few listens. And it’s true, the album at large does lean more heavily towards the pop spectrum of TA’s pop-punk classification, but there are a couple heavier tracks on there that serve to keep it from all sounding the same.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to it enough times yet, or to really take it all in yet, but I’m definitely on board with Limitless. Heck, I even changed my Facebook cover image to reflect it, and I was pretty sure that my previous cover page was never going to be dethroned.
So that’s that. I may report in when I have more to say about it, and I may not. Probably the latter, because I always struggle to actually write anything meaningful about music. It’s good. That’s all that really matters.
