    Raconteurs- Consoler of the Lonely




    Many Shades of Black or Carolina Drama
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    In Rainbows, Warpaint, Only By the Night, Evil Urges, Chinese Democracy, Bedlam In Goliath, For My Friends, Live In Gdansk

    I have been listening to Dear Science a bit and startin to really get a good feel for it. I'll give it an honorable mention.

    agreed, Warpaint was a good record, sort of a return to their past a little bit.

    Rise Against and Ashes Divide maybe put out the 2 best albums of the year. Alkaline Trio should be up there as well.

    Ashes Divide? It sounded like an APC album that was missing something, and a 30 seconds to mars album.

    Billy Howerdel writes the music for APC and AD, of course they are going to sound similar. I didn't think it was missing a thing. some really good songs on that album.
