Hoobastank: For(n)ever
One thing for sure is that Hoobastank has a track record of coming out with an album every three years. I've really enjoyed listening to their new album For(n)ever. It reminds me a bit of their first album Hoobastank. I actually had no idea the even had a third album until just recently.
As a whole the album is on a constant roller coaster. They keep their tracks on an even pace by giving you some solid music and throw in a few ballads into the mix, which I tend to like. Keeps you on your toes. Some artists just like to separate them like *cough* Beyonce *cough*.
This CD is definitely an album that should be purchased. Maybe they are in their right mind to wait every three years. This is CD is just what I've been looking for right now. I certainly don't regret it.

Franz Ferdinand: Tonight
For Franz Ferdinand this is their first studio album in the last four years. There seems to be a trend going on here. However, I think Franz Ferdinand should have either taken more time or just disappeared. Their third CD Tonight is nothing more than boring. I'm beginning to understand why I was never all that interested in buying their CDs in the first place.
Their album as a whole just sounds like the same song over and over again. They have a few failed attempts on a couple "acoustic" ballads that are nothing more than just horrific. To be quite honest I gave up on the CD four songs through.
Someone please tell me when Franz Ferdinand actually has something good to listen to. I don't know if I'll be listening to it anytime soon. Don't waste your money, burn it from a friend or something, or just buy their first CD and you practically have everything else they've ever made.
