"In a few weeks I will get time to realise it's right before my eyes and I can take it if it's what I want to do..."

"I can tell just what you want, you don't want to be alone, you don't want to be alone. And I can't say it's what you know but you've known it the whole time, yeah, you've known it the whole time..."


*A LITTLE STORY: Last year when I found out that my cousin was going to Las Vegas, the first thing I did was going to the Best Buy page and look if they had this CD in any Las Vegas store and they did... So I wrote an e-mail to my cousin to see if she could buy this and other CD for me while she was there, in that e-mail I put a headline that said 'Artist' and 'Album' so it would be easier for her to know that, which was the artist and which was the name of the album. And so, she went to Las Vegas and I don't know, 2 days later she called me while I was driving on the freeway and I happened to be with a friend, so I asked her to answer the phone and put it on speakers, it was my cousin and she sounded a bit confused, she told me that she had asked the guy at the store if they had the 'Artist Album' CD and that he had said no, that they didn't have any record whatsoever of that artist, that it hadn't even come up on the computer... In that moment I told her that that was just the headline not an actual name of a band, me and my friend could not resist and started laughing so very hard our stomachs began to hurt so bad, but could you imagine me driving and laughing the way I did on a freeway full of cars? We were still on the phone, the next thing was my cousin having a little rant and told me that I made her look like an idiot and I (still laughing so hard) managed to say that it was her fault, and she hung up. We were still laughing and I swear I hadn't had a laugh like that in a long time and to this day I haven't had one of those again. Five minutes later she called back, we were still recovering from that laugh, she told me that she already had bought the CD and now, calmer than before, she told me again that she had felt so dumb, I still mockingly recreated the scene of her with the Best Buy guy and apparently she had her phone on speakers too and her sister heard and I remember hearing her laughing and telling her that she was a moron and we started laughing again. Later we found out that she read the e-mail from her Blackberry and somehow it became all distorted, without any format, so the 'Artist' 'Album' headline appeared as it was just another line so she thought it was a band and so did the Best Buy. DUH!!!

About the album... I have got to say, at least for me, is an extraordinary album, so fresh, so lively, those guitar riffs are so catchy, I don't know, I loved it! If I was to "quibble" something about this album is that it seems to last so little time, you could imagine, time flies when you are having fun, so this album ends too soon.







And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
