My Consensus on the Music I mentioned before

So I had mentioned a while ago that I bought some new music for our mexico trip. So I am going to give my ratings.

Bell X1 - Blue Lights on the Runway - 6.5/10 - It has some catchy Songs but not something I desire to listen to that often.

Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything to Nothing - 8/10 - I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. It was more rock than the others I got, but it was still complex and fun to listen to. One of my favorites for sure.

MuteMath - Elevator Music - 7.5/10 Just Great Worship music. Done by an great band.

The National - Boxer - 9/10 - My favorite of the list. Its quality music, the guy has a really good low voice which you don't hear very often. Its just all around good stuff. If you like Folk with a little edge this is right up your alley.

The Passion Pit - Manners - 7.5 - Really fun to listen too, but after one time through you are kind of done with it for a while. Its catchy, upbeat, much like MGMT. The singers voice is different and starts to kind of wear on you after a while.

Pheonix - Wolfgang Amadeus Pheonix - 7/10 - Maybe because there was a lot of hype surrounding this cd, but it just didn't live up to what I was hoping for. Its fun to listen to, but I wouldn't say it will be a regular listen for me.

Swan Lake-Enemy Mile - 4/10 - I gave this cd 1 listen through and decided its just not for me. A bit too weird, or something. Just didn't really enjoy it. Some people might. But I am not one of them.

So there are my reviews of my new music.

Biker Boy

I made an exciting purchase yesterday. I used some of my birthday money to purchase a bike. A mountain bike to be precise. A Specialized HardRock Mountain bike to be exact. I am really excited. I have thought about getting a bike for the last couple years. Just haven't thought about it when I had spending money. After talking with my friends about it, they gave me some tips about what to look for and I think I found a really good bike. I found it on craigslist and talked the guy down to 160. He paid over 500 3 years ago. And its hardly used. So I am pretty happy about it. Now I just need to get a comfy seat and stay motivated to ride it. So hopefully it will become a new hobby of mine. Looking forward to the exercise that it will give me at least.
