Today was a good mail day. :) I receieved a textbook I need to read for Friday, the watch batteries I ordered and Xo - the new Leathermouth CD. (Leathermouth being the 'side' band of Frank Iero). My thoughts on the CD: Frank originally said that Leathermouth was a way to express all of his ugly, angry feelings musically. The band did not intend to release a CD etc., the songs were written and sung for personal reasons, however he decided to go ahead and release the music b/c, he reasoned, other people have these feelings and it's as important to express those dark, scary feelings as it is to express the good. That being said, I am glad that he released the CD. I like it. It is raw, rough, it will make some people uncomfortable. Half the time he is screaming, yelling, sometimes he sings. The lyrics are all interesting and thought provoking. I'm glad I bought it. :)
