its not me, it's your intimacy

so its exam week next week here at KAIST, which means classes have temporarily finished. i've finished my homework for the time being which means i have some spare time laid upon me.

in that spare time, i've attempted to join some co-curricular activities such as taking up chinese classes and also i'm helping a korean guy learn english.

but even with that, i've still a handful of time so i've decided to take the time to listen to some albums i've wanted to listen to for a while in their entirety, (not an album review, just what i my impressions)

intimacy - bloc party
and
it's not me, its you - lily allen


intimacy -

i can't say im too much of a indie guy. but i relatively enjoyed this album. i dont enjoy the current trend of this rock electronica dance blend so thus i didnt really enjoy listening to the songs on this album with that element. my favourite two songs from the album is prob: ares and halo. when it comes to rock i enjoy the heavy hitting and fast paced drums that was present in both those songs and a hard and heavy riff which was more existant in halo. i'm still getting used to kele's voice on a song like ares, just feels it would be better if there was an angry white guy screaming on it (corey taylor or chester bennington or someone) so give me some time. but those two songs were enough to suggest i should check out their other stuff.

it's not me, it's you -

i quite enjoyed her first album, theres something about her bitchy attitutude that makes her songs that good. even though i enjoyed the "bitchy" songs on her first album i also enjoyed her reflective songs and emo songs. i don't think this album is better than her debut, but i think given time it will grow on me like the first album did. favourite songs on this album are: the fear and who'd have known. Even though i think katy perry is hotter, lily allen definitley has more attitude and that extra bitchiness that delivers her songs with perfection. so when shes singing emo songs its like: nawwww she has feelings too haha. now im just rambling.



another album that recently downloaded in it's entirety is...

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde


i've heard lots of songs from this album prior to downloading this album, but i really enjoyed this whole album. it was such a shame that i couldn't see them live when they came down for good vibes. this for me is really what light hearted golden age hiphop is, its just so energetic and so chilled at the same time. can't really pick two songs i like the most, but if i had to it would be between a couple of songs haha: Otha Fish, Officer, Return of the B-boy and Oh Shit.
Return of the bboy really made me feel like it was 87 or someshit, or better yet, 2009 and hip-hop was back from the dead. they just dont make songs like these anymore.
