Albums of my freshman year

I stole this from Erin who had a playist for her sophomore year. so here is my (sorta) playlist (more like albums) that i listened to a lot my freshman year of college.



1. Dark is the Way, Light is a Place- Anberlin

Despite the long title, this was an album i was totally waiting for it since i was the 17th person to pre-order it. (i got free dogtags, a signed cover poster, and a free shirt bc of that =P) i was totally anticipating it. but it kinda let me down a bit. i mean it was good, and i listened to it for about 2 weeks. after anticipating it so much, a 2 week listen is kinda bad. but it is still a good album, but i hope anberlin comes out with another album that is more "Cities"-esque.



2. The Glass Passenger- Jacks Mannequin

There was a time where i kind of just listen to whatever songs or artists. But once thanksgiving rolled around, i got this album and every since then i loved it. Its just a great album and especially love the message of recovery in it. songs like swim, crashin, the resolution, and caves. but there are songs that i just enjoy a lot like bloodshot and hammers and strings(a lullaby). this album means so much to me. i was listening to it again fully around spring break time, and i just realized that it meant a lot to me. i dont know how or can explain how, but it means a lot to me.



3. Right now there would a sorta flux area with two albums i got. "The End is Not the End" and "Surburba" both by House of Heroes together had a like 3 week life span. Its just its not one of those albums i rememeber from the year. Both of them seemed like a past love that just re-emerged for those 3 week time period. most likely because it was not really "new" music (liek style-wise) but it was more of Sswitchfoot-type albums.I mean these (and "Vista" by Roderick, a local guy i know) were my soundtrack for my winter break. So i guess ill add them haha



4. "What Seperates You from Me"- A Day to Remember

I dont remember when i exactly got this album, but i know once i did, i listened to it constantly for the rest of the spring semester. Just songs like "All i want", "this is the house that doubt built", and "all signs point to lauderdale" were early hits with me. the first two i kinda over-played and dont listen to them much anymore. "all signs" means a lot to me now because im home. take a listen and youll know why. but songs like "its complicated" and "better off this way" and "2nd sucks" and "you be tails, i'll be sonic" were songs that grew on me later, especially the almost all screaming songs. but this album is definately a hit with me. i really enjoy it, and it was probably my whole soundtrack to my spring semester, plus or minus a couple of songs and bands i starting liking the last month, a lot of 90's/early 2000's rock stuff.



so there you go. i hope you enjoyed it. maybe take some listens to some of the songs or albums i mentioned.



Peace!
