ひとりの夜もそばにいようぜ　君と僕の歌を歌う

There are some albums where we like say 4 of the 10 tracks.. And then there are some albums where it's just PERFECT all the way. I think in my life there's been some albums that are like that, where every track is a favorite track! By no means they're like my favourite album of all time, but these are the albums that I can listen from track 1 to 12 and NOT SKIP a single track. Where every song is awesome, and at the end of the 12th track it makes me go "Damn, that was a great album! In its entirety!"

Wholesome albums.

I'll try to list some =)


Nirvana - Nevermind



No arguments here ;) I think this is the album that changed my life. From girl to GRUNGE/ALTERNATIVE ROCK GIRL. lols... FOREVER!

lols.

I think this was truly the first band, album, music I had ever ever LISTENED TO. you know what I mean?!

On the other notes, my second top fav Nirvana album would be In Utero, folllowed by Incesticide.





Green Day - Dookie



Yeap.. I think this is the second album I listened to in my whole life... Lols. PERFECT album dude, EVERY DAMN SONG IS GOOD!


Hole - Celebrity Skin



Ok while I think Live Through This definitely shaped me wayyyyyy more than this album did. In fact, this album was just an album. But of the Hole/Courtney Love album, this was the best one because it was a really, really good rock album. From the first song to the last song, each song was great. And this IS one of those albums that I do like each and every song, from first to last.

Seriously.






Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness



Ok, this is a 2 CD album ok... Like the first of its kind wayyyyyyy back then when 2 CD albums are unheard of... So there are one or two tracks that I skip lolsss...

But this was my first forage into.. music with thought. lols.

Great album, I don't think I can listen to this album without feeling 16 again.

Had my share of my bouts of depression with this one lols.


Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory?



I think I have three copies of this album. Gosh... LOVED LOVED LOVED Oasis... Changed me from grunge girl to rock girl... lols.

But as equally awesome an album is Definitely Maybe... It's just that, I think Morning Glory is just more... radio friendly and more "progressed" in its sounds than Definitely Maybe.





Ash - 1977



Flawless album. Dude, even the bonus tracks, T. Rex and Everywhere is All Around is KICK ASS!



Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill



Another FLAWLESS amazing album. Damn. One album wonder, though!


Blink-182 - Enema of the State



Sooooo this album changed me from a rock girl to a punk girl! lols...

I can't decide tho which album I like better... Enema or Dude Ranch coz I think Dude Ranch is also awesome, but I think the album that I will go back to it at anytime and still love the songs, it'd be Enema.





Finch - What It Is To Burn



I mean it, track 1 to 12. NO SKIPS. ALL LOVE. T O T A L L Y.

So this album changed me from punk girl to emo girl! lols~



Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends



What can I say about this album? TIMELESS. Stayed with me before leaving for the States, while I was in the States and even now, when I have left the States.

Their first and their best.


Something Corporate - Leaving Through The Window



yeah I know, weird pick, but I really loved this album and I thought it was a solid album. Every track is great. Well written, well arranged, well made.


Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Sol-fa




OK, I chose Sol-fa not only coz yes, IT IS AN AMAZINGLY AWESOME ALBUM from first to last! But also, I guess, it represents the epoch of Ajikan's "rock" brilliance.

I love the previous two albums too, Kimi Tsunagi Five M and Houkai Amplifier... SOLID albums too! LOVE LOVE LOVE every single one of the songs on those 3 albums! Incredible..

And yes, it was these albums that changed me from an emo/scene girl to a Japanese rock girl... LOLS!





Tsubaki - Portrait+



Yes, this is an absolutely amazing album and yes, while the other Tsubaki albums are also wonderful and I really love them too, in my opinion, this is their finest work yet.

This album like those other perfect album, I feel, is the pinnacle of their brilliance, an album where solid rock sound is constructed perfectly with studio work. Flawless marriage of the both that resulted in an album that is both rocking, yet incredibly well crafted.

I constantly look for albums like those. Sometimes a band can not progress beyond the edgy raw rock sounds and sometimes bands can go from really good but raw rock songs only to release an overly sound engineered/enhanced album the next that totally takes the edge off their songs.

Portrait+ is neither. A perfect Tsubaki balance. IMHO.

My SECOND FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Tsubaki album! ALSO INCREDIBLE, every song is KICK ASS from first to last, IMHO.




Radwimps - Radwimps 3



YEAP. I LOVE THIS RADWIMPS ALBUM BEST. When I first checked out Radwimps, this was actually the first album I got and it was perfect. Every song in it was great! Thus, from that first perception, this is a perfect album from first to last.


Lunkhead - Tsuki to Tenohira



Hahaha... ok, ok, ok... I chose this album because the PERFECTEST song is on this album ;)

Guess which track =P

My other Lunkhead Favs... Albums where every song is a good song and every other song is a GREAT song!




Other really coooooool perfect albums?


Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind



Oh c'mon... if you were a teenager in the 90s, I bet this album's on your list!


Gin Blossoms - Congratulations I'm Sorry



YEAP!! I LOVE THIS ALBUM! I think it's brilliant! Almost every song is absolutely amazing!


The Stone Roses - The Complete Stone Roses



HELL YEAH! Dude, if there was ever the BEST BEST OF album, this is it. lols.



Days Away - The Feel Of It



I really heart his band :)


New Found Glory - New Found Glory



One of those perfect melodic punk albums that's a great listen from first to last.



A New Found Glory - Nothing Gold Can Stay



This is a VERY VERY raw albums, thus, not for everyone but I really really love every track on this album!


Plastic Tree - Chandelier



Yes, TOTALLY. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE, BRILLIANT ALBUM. Totally love this band, dude.. Yeah.. STILL :D lols.
 



Ok I think I better stop here coz I'm beginning to list!!!!! There's just soooooooo many incredible albums out there!!!

Goshh... ima just stick the album covers here lols.

HOLYCOW! Can you believe it?! I watched Inuyasha again!! After how many years?! Man... And there's no difference! I mean in like the background music and all that. TOTAL NOSTALGIA!

Anyway, I decided to check out this episode of the new Inuyasha episodes. They started the anime again to pick up the last arc to the end of the manga... I guess that's a good thing huh? After all, it was a very, very popular series. (Killed by lengthy repeats and wth-die-naraku-NOW)

Anyway, I bothered to follow the manga (back then) only because I wanted to read about Sesshoumaru and Rin... My favorite storyline in the whole series.. And this part of the series was the MOST MOST MOST MOST MOST MOST touching and wonderful part of the entire series (lols)!

So, it was nice they animated it!

But... It was kinda dissapointment actually... I didn't think it was as powerful being adapted into the anime...


I really like this part of the series because, I felt, it signified the progress and process of Sesshoumaru's character... I mean, he had always been a hard-ass, but you always felt there was more it him than that... in that he actually did care for Rin, a very uncharacteristic thing for him to do.

And I felt that these chapters (4 chapters in total in the manga), really showed how much he has changed and show his "true heart" that being with Rin has made him become....

I always loved that part where he catches Rin and Kohaku as they fall and then he says to Kohaku, "Don't make me have to look after you. This hand can only wield a sword"... And he said it with such sadness, I feel, inside, he desires to be compassionate but he knows his fate has been assigned that he can only use a sword to kill..

And I think the part that signifies his change the most was the part where he realized that Rin is dead and he can't save her and he actually DISCARDS the Tenseiga (Sesshoumaru throwing away his sword to carry Rin), and says that it is not worth it, to exchange Rin's life for mastering the sword or anything... I thought that was absolutely absolutely touching... MORE THAN INUYASHA CAN EVER BE WITH KAGOME!! wth!


MEANT ONLY TO WIELD A SWORD.

MISSING IN THE ANIME WHAT THE HELL!!!






RIN DIES.

It totally wasn't emotional in the Anime at all!! It the WEIGH and SIGNIFICANCE of Sesshomaru's feelings and words were just LOST in the anime!!!








RIN REVIVED.

This part was quite faithful... But... Still, I feel Sesshoumaru wasn't as...... touched and caring here in the anime as he was in the manga!!!








I didn't quite like the way Sesshomaru said "mou daijoubu da" to Rin!! Wasn't soft and caring as I think it should have been!!! lols





Anyway, it's kinda like "wth" watching Inuyasha again huh? But anyway, I can't deny Inuyasha... Because it was because of Inuyasha back in 2003 that I got to know and became interested in Japan, so... I won't deny my Inuyasha FAN-NESS! lols
