disturbing disturbed

Good evening ladies and gents... this midnight hour brings I, Ti... i mean Rupert, back to the glowing square that has a plastic rodent connected to it. As promised I am here to deliver a music review with a movie review to boot. Princess peach, Chloe, Mr. Rapt, by now you must be on the edge of your seat... so that you can shut the computer off and do something else. To start off, Disturbed, for those of you who dont know, is a modern acid rock band who loves to scream. But not scream so much so that you can't still make out the bitter lyrics of anger, hate, and anguish. In short, Disturbed is well...(you knew it was coming)...disturbing. Disturbing isn't necessarily a bad thing however if you've had a day from hell and a boss from the somplace your day is. Their first CD: Down With the Sickness was well sung, had errie/atmospheric background music, and featured a remix of the 80's classic: Shout as well as various threats on his mother's life. (what more could you ask for) Their newest release: Ten Thousand Fists on the other hand was just lame. Upon tearing open the gift Christmas day and popping it into the CD player, I expected more dark creativity as opposed to offkey vocals and repetitive instumental. This didn't entirely surprise me however due to the fact that David Draiman blew out his vocal chords in a Canadian concert shortly after releasing his first CD. The psycho fucked himself up so bad he had to take speach therapy. Never been quite the same since. In truth, a cat in heat yowling to an accompaniment of nails on chalkboard would have done more for me. Even if you've never heard of disturbed or find their music to be too much, anyone who has loved a band's first album only to have their dreams crushed by the second or third album will be able to relate.(ahem* Chloe). Unfortunately, I will have to compose a more coherant blog later as my face is slumped on the screen and I am drooling on the keyboard.

P.S. What does P.S. mean exactly?

Wow, i'm just inundated with blogs. Seriously, i've been suffering a major dry spell here. Question: "Can one really be rapt when there is nothing present to be rapt about?" (yes, i do Philo-so-phize)

Also, P.S. simply means "Post Script". So, p.p.s. means "post-post script" whereas p.s.s means "post script script". I wasn't about to call you out on your last blog though. Then you might've been like, "Screw this blog thing... i ain't posting no more". Then what would i read while i'm waiting for Chloe? (now only if i can find this Princess' blog)

p.s. that's just a blatant attempt to try and get to know everyone in this clique...

"stricken" isn't all that bad, but i would have to agree the majority of that new cd blows. they'll never top their first one. ahhh, sweet memories of driving to the chess club with justin's marijuana smoke blowing in my face and "stupefied" on the radio.....good times.

Please! I haven't heard their newest album (because... um, you guys haven't played it while I'm around), but I SERIOUSLY doubt their newest album is more disturbing then their remake of "Shout". That made them sissy-boys from the start, no matter how "down with the sickness" they were. And I wasn't "crushed" by the not-so-greatness of X&Y. I just moved on.
And thank god Rapty called you on that PSS shit from the last entry. I was going to do it, but I didn't want to comment again. That really was disturbing, my friend. BTW, did you know you can edit entries? Just being helpful! Aren't I helpful.
Also, Rapty, the bitch we call peachy has a blog, but he's only posted one entry... although he does have a mysterious and VERY FUNNY friend who wrote a few entries before he wrote one. Yes, that friend sure is mysterious and funny/ awesome. I wish I knew him or her.
It's http://princesspeach.iblog.com/ since peach apparently lacks the nerve to post it himself. Oooh! SLAM de la Chloe!
