Beauty.

I am addicted to the new Jack's Mannequin album. I loved the old album and listened to it over and over again since Andrew put up his first demos under the name Jack's Mannquin. I've seen Jack's twice this year and hopefully will be seeing them in November too, such an awesome live show. This album is defiantly different I would say a bit deeper and more mature. Throughout the CD you can tell it's influenced by his battle with cancer, but I think that helps make the album that much better.

With the first listen I wasn't sure if I would like the new album, it isn't as raw as "Everything in Transit", but I have been completely won over. It's a very emotionally driven album and very diverse with a solid mix of upbeat and slower songs. I have listened to the CD a few times though and I can't pick a favorite song. I am pretty partial to the single "The Resolution" which should be a huge song in a couple weeks and on every radio station, but I am also digging the opening track "Crashin."

Yes, I am bad and downloaded this the day it leaked but just as I did with the new Panic at the Disco album and The Matches' new album I am going to go buy this ASAP. Andrew deserves every cent that he makes, dude is a true musician.

P.S. Right before I posted this I had the worst case of deja vu ever. I hate that.
