i got a lot on my mind. there are many things that has happened for the past few months. first things first. me and my girlfriend.
it has been a rocky road for both of us. i can't deny the fact that at times i am abit jealous with her attitude towards her Mirc and Msn friends. don't get me wrong. im not the jealous type. but at times, you need to be THE MAN and step in. hmm. well, to cut the story short, everything is all peachy now. :D.
studies. hahaha. i am close to getting kicked. i mean. i have lost interest already. argh! yeaps. but i wont give up. like they say, it aint over till the fat lady sings right? ahha. i believe shes about to start her encore. ahax.
next up. Hypnotize. yeash! finally got that album on 28/11/2004. haha. an excellent album from the amazing System of a Down. hahaha. let me run through the list of the songs.
1) Attack (9/10) - reminds me of BYOB. the heavy guitar riffs are so damn super that it got me hooked. a wonderful way to open the album. 2) Dreaming (9/10) - i love the way Sarj and Daron synchronised their voices in unison. well, this isnt the only song they will be doing that. overall, i love the catchy verse: "Dreaming, of screaming." 3) Kill Rock & Roll (8/10) - as i heard the intro, i didn't expect the crazy riffs to follow. haha. abit too short. but. what can i say. haha. when Daron said the phrase,"when i kill rock and roll!", seems to me that he enjoys it. cheers to that. 4) Hypnotize (10/10) - haha. sorry. have to give full marks for this outstanding song. yesh. the remarkable intro, plus the catchy chorus completes the jungle thumping solo in the middle of the song. kudos to SOAD. 5) Stealing Society (9/10) - honestly, when i listen to this song. the first group that came to mind is non other than the beach boys. hahaha. yeaps. but not untill the part where the verse follow: "midnight...fist fight...looking for a mother that will get me high...just a stupid motherfucker if i die i die..." hahahaha. the drums were crazy and so were the lyrics. 6) Tentative (10/10) - arguably one of the finest piece ever written by Daron. although its the Daron's typical heavy guitar riffs, John's complex drumbeats, Shavo's idiotic dance moves, Sarj's booming vocals, its the lyrics that stole the show. "we're going down, in a spiral to the ground." overall, one of my personal favourite. 7) U-Fig (7/10) - what were they thinking? oh gosh! but the vocals were done awesomely. and the drums? well, John Doe's the man. 8) Holy Mountains (10/10) - reminds me of Aerials. similar in every way till the outro. but, what makes this song different is the fact that it became upbeat after the first two verse. "they have return. resting on a mountain site. we have learn. that you have no." now this is the part where i love the most. hehe. excellent song. 9) Vicinity of Obscenity (8/10) - this is the only song which talks about sex. i mean. with verses like: "Banana, banana, banana, terracotta, banana, terracotta, terracotta pie." hahaha. don't take much guessing. i don't know why but Baom seems to love this song so much. hahaha. maybe cos of the funk-inspired chorus? or the fact that it has some ridiculously funny lyrics in them. 10) Shes Like Heroien (8/10) - when i listen to the verse, the song that came to my mind. Dr Demento's Monster Mash. hahaa. i mean. seriously. thats the one and only song that have a ring to this song. hahaha. damn funny shit. but too bad i dislike it so much. 11) Lonely Day (8/10) - i thought SOAD has the Green Day fever as i listen carefully to this song. hahaha. i read somewhere that this was Daron's thing and he had to let it out of him. and so, this song was produced. haha. what can i say. Daron has a soft side to him too yeah. haha. 12) Soldier Side (11/10) - hahahaha. yeaps. you guessed it. my favourite song of the album. ironically, its the last song of the album. haha. i almost cried listening to this song. the mood there was so damn melancholy and damn touching man. argh! solid piece. "they were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black. he's gone so far to find a hope, he's never coming back. they were crying when their songs left, all young men must go. he's gone so far to find the truth, he's never coming home."
wooohoo. damn! anyways, i just wanna let u all noe that i wont blog again for the time being. alot of shits going on in life and am not gonna share it with u all yet. but. will do soon. ;). oh yeah. one more thing. i got a haircut. like Chicken from Born to be King. the Chan Ho Nam movie i got write before mah. hahaha. like a pineapple. ;).
