If I were the type of person that bought CDs, I would definitely buy two new CDs that have recently come out. This is big for me, because new music rarely appeals to me, and I rarely ever have the urge to buy a CD. Of course, I just get everything and anything music related online, but the thought is there.
The first that I would recommend is Greenday's new CD, American Idiot. At first, I hated a couple of songs from this CD because the Madison radio stations over played them way too much. I hate it when radio stations wreck perfectly good songs like that. Anyway, the rest of the CD seems to be somewhat politically charged, and Greenday seems to be trying to make some kind of a statement with the title track. Otherwise, the music is a good mix of popish punk and ballads. One of my favorite tracks of the album thus far is "Give Me Novacaine."
On a totally different genre is Tim McGraw's newest CD, Live Like You Were Dying. Even if you are not a fan of country, this CD has something for you. He seems to attempt to cross over into a popish realm with some of his strong lyrics. The title track makes you think, and most of the rest of the album does the same. There are some hidden gems that will probably never hit the radio, such as Angry All the Time and Kill Myself.
Anyway, check them out, I enjoyed them. :)
