As much as I love Thrice and The Alchemy Index, they – and everything else for that matter – will be completely ignored after tomorrow. You see, in a scant few hours, the new Story of the Year album will drop, and my attention will be focused directly upon it and its impending greatness for an unspecified amount of time. If you hadn’t heard, Story of the Year is my second favourite band ever, and I have been very eagerly anticipating the release of The Black Swan since the day that I heard SotY were working on a new album.
Tomorrow is going to be so so
so awesome, and I most seriously cannot get over how many good things are happening to me lately, so yeah. Like, for example, today my copy of the
Legend of Mana soundtrack arrived, and you can only imagine my elation of seeing that little brown parcel in the mailbox. AND! Not only does
The Black Swan hit tomorrow, but also Cloverfield on DVD! The only one who’s got anything to complain about at this point is my wallet. Because it’s going to be very empty (though less empty than usual, what with the promotion/raise and all). But yeah, other than that, April 22 will be excellent. I mean, I know that there’s more to an awesome day than the purchase of hotly anticipated material goods, but that’s what Wednesday is for! (
Maybe. I’m still a coward, after all.)
I may have had my doubts for a little while there, but I think my declaration that 2008 will be a great year is still standing pretty strong.
