Updated @ 26th

ALBUM

>		Liberation Transmission - LOSTPROPHETS
		Produced by Bob Rock and featuring Josh Freese on drums.
>		VS - PEARL JAM
>		Ten - PEARL JAM
		Ada apa dgn Pearl Jam? Kebetulan doang, beberapa kali gw perlu 'nguping', mp3 Pearl Jam lah yg ada di discman gw.
>		Awake - DREAM THEATER
		Album klasik DT buat gw. Musiknya masih rapet kayak 'Images and Words' tapi lebih nendang dan orang gak bisa bilang mirip Heloween lagi. Eniwei, it's my lullaby album. Listening to DT when the night's late is magic... Hehe, gw jadi inget seseorang yg heran, lagu 'gumbrang-klontang' gitu kok bisa bikin gampang tidur.
>		LIFEHOUSE
		Picks: 'You and Me', 'Walking Away'. Gw baru sadar dari mana dtgnya inspirasi Peterpan dkk.
>		DEFTONES
		Musik metal yg tebel & gahar, sayangnya gw kurang sreg sama tipe suara si Chino Moreno.

SONG

>		Where are You Going? - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
		Oh yeah... the recent question of my life. Where the hey am I going?
>		I don't Want to Wait - PAULA COLE
		Theme song Dawson's Creek. Hasil dengerin radio malem2.
>		Keep Holding on - AVRIL LAVIGNE
		Soundtrack 'Eragon'. Pertama denger, gw agak pangling sama si Av karena tema lagunya positif banget. Bravo Avril!
>		Never Enough - DREAM THEATER
>		Everything Changes - STAIND

LISTENINGS @ AUGUST 2006

Update: 9/8/2006

>	G3
	Live in Tokyo (album)
	Guests: John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy, both from Dream Theater.
>	Joe Satriani
	Super Colossal (album)
	Simon Phillips of Toto is the drummer.
>	Lindsay Lohan
	Beautiful Life (La Bella Vita) Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)
	Got hooked on the "daughter to father" chorus, she sing it using her trademark broken voice/scream that brings shiver to my bone. 'Beautiful...' is the one positive vibe on her album 'A Little More Personal (Raw)' which filled with feelings towards her father and ex-lovers. About the Album: Ben Moody helped on the cover of Stevie Nicks' 'Edge Of Seventeen', I can sense his influence but somehow insignificant. Kara DioGuardi is the producer.
>	Staind
	Falling Right Here
	'Falling' has some quote-worthy lyrics. 'Right Here' has some melodic parts and an interesting pause (I even thought it's the end of the song). About the Album ('Chapter V'): Interesting less accoustic more metal. First time double bass drums (as far as I know). Too bad I haven't been able to relate to most of the lyrics, like the way I related with the lyrics in the previous album ('14 Shades of Grey'). A Lil' Note: In both albums, I can relate to at least one song with strong Alice in Chains influence.
>	Toto
	Falling in Between (album)
