A Blast From The (Not so Distant) Past

I have been listening to a lot of older school stuff from Death Cab and Coldplay. Mainly Transatlanticism and X&Y respectively. I now am realizing just how great both those albums are/were. Both albums have a ton of great music on them. Listening back through them, I can't find a ton of songs that I absolutely hate, which is typically a good quality in a release. I can listen through the whole cd start to finish without absolutely needing to skip a song. I obviously skip songs occasionally, cause there are some I like more than others, but there are no horrible songs. These cd's remind me why I love these bands, and why I will always love them no matter what crap they put out in the future. As fans of these bands, we know we can always fall back on solid past material. Honestly, I don't think Death Cab will ever be able to surpass the greatness of Transatlanticism. It is one of my favorite cd's ever, hands down. Sometimes these great albums get lost in the shuffle of new music. Speaking of new music, I have bought a lot this summer. I suppose I will end this stream-of-consciousness post with a list of all the cd's I have gotten this summer.
