Day One

Or "I already wish I could break my own rule of not skipping unless the CD is scratched."

So far I've listened through 3 Doors Down's first album, "The Better Life" and 12 Stone's Self-Titled album. I was doing okay with 3 Doors Down, but after the first two songs on the 12 Stones album, I wanted to skip on to the next CD. Though I did not do so. I suffered through. I guess there's not much to say besides that it was really, really boring. I don't much like Paul McCoy's voice and the lyrics are pretty lacking. I think the only reason I got the album was because I had liked the song he did with Evanescence. Of course now I can see that wasn't the best idea. I only liked Evanescence for as long as that first single was new on the radio. Anyway, 12 Stones is definitely going to be going into the trash unless someone reading this really wants it. Its a burned copy though. You wouldn't even get the case and album booklet. Yeah, trash.

However, I did enjoy listening to "The Better Life," the only album of 3 Doors Down that I purchased. I can't say that I have a lot of associations with the album. It came out in 2000, the year I started High School. I was somewhere around thirteen or fourteen years old. The whole beginning of High School is bit of a blur which could be on purpose as I was pretty anxious about being a Freshman. I honestly can't think of anything else, which makes this post a bit boring, but hopefully I'll come up with something better on the next two albums. Also, if anyone reads this and wants to post their associations (good or bad) with either of these albums, please feel free. This doesn't have to be all about me. Ha.

Well, to spruce this up just a little bit, here's one of my favorite songs off of "The Better Life" :
