AC/DC-Black Ice

AC/DC's first studio release in 8 years since Stiff Upper Lip features "Rock N Roll Train" which was nominated for a Grammy in case you were wondering. The first thing I noticed was that almost all the songs are the same. But since almost every one of their albums is like that, I'm not really going to complain. But seriously, it is 55 and a half minutes of the same things over and over and over. But it is still quite entertaining.

Bottom line: nothing special 3/5

Rush-Moving Pictures

Loaded with songs like "YYZ" "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight", "Red Barchetta", "Vital Signs" and "The Camera Eye", there is really no way Moving Pictures can fail. I completely 100% swear to God that is the truth. Besides, all the songs I listed were six of the seven songs on this album. This album starts well, continues well and finishes well so it is great all the way. This is clearly one of Rush's best efforts to me and is great progressive rock. 

Bottom Line: absolutely incredible 5/5

Muse-Black Holes & Revelations

Featuring songs like "Knights Of Cydonia" (if you have Guitar Hero 3 you should know this) "Supermassive Black Hole" (featured on the Twilight soundtrack) "Starlight" and my favourite, "Map of the Problematique" there is really no way this album could be a stinker. And you know what? That, to me, is the truth. Although the second half of the album is nowhere near as good as the first, I still loved it. Muse has quite a bit in common with Coldplay. They are both British, They sound similar and Matthew Bellamy and Chris Martin's vocals are almost identical. 

Bottom line: awesome album. 4/5

OneRepublic-Dreaming Out Loud

OneRepublic's debut features the singles "Apologize", "Stop and Stare" and "Mercy". That is pretty much all I can say about it other than the fact it is one of the slowest and most boring albums I have heard. I found that it was the same songs over and over. It seems appropriate that I was doing my homework while listening to it. Both are very boring.

Bottom Line: almost put me to sleep. 2.5/5  

Work and French

Est-ce que tu sais que je deteste? Tout les devoirs que je recois les fin de semaine passe. Un fin de semaine je recois un projet. Le prochaine fin de semaine je doit finir un autre projet. Le fin de semaine prochaine je doit finir un autre projet. Et maintenant, j'ai un autre projet que je doit finir. Wow, all the french work I have done the past few weekends has really got to my head. But I am serious about the fact that I have had truckloads of homework the past few weekends. Being in a program where half my classes are in french, Je ne suis pas tres surpris. It better end soon or all my blogs will end up being in french.

SUPER BOWL

Last week was the super bowl between the Arizona Cardinal's and the Pittsburgh Steelers Final score (27-23) Steelers

I found the Santonio Holmes catch a lot more exciting (winning TD) than the 100 yard run by James Harrison at the end of the half. Although they were favoured by 6.5 points the card's actually had a chance.

As the Steelers reined with glory I think that the Card's thought we should have gave Larry Frizgerald the ball in the first half. he was a decoy for a route for Edgerrin James. That was a dumb idea Larry can haul down ANYTHING.

From that move, the Steelers have the Lombarbi and they have nothing
