my summer school teacher put on epic rap battles of history in class today. that was pretty cool.

Anyway, The Hunting Party came out today, which is Linkin Park's new album. I'm close to LP because they're one of the first bands I ever listened to (was like 5 or 6, Meteora was either still unreleased or was brand new) (by the way, that's their best album, shut the fuck up hybrid fanboys) (also rolling over laughing at all the reviews saying "lol it's just hybrid theory 2 hurr 5/10"), so yeah. Though I wasn't totally crazy about this album because basically all of the songs they previewed were kinda average imo (didn't listen to final masquerade though), and then I found out that they streamed the entire album so I haven't even bothered getting it yet because it's on YouTube.

(I don't get that, really. Why do musicians stream their new albums online? Just saying, there's always some jackass out there trying to shove new copyright laws down our throats, and then artists just throw out their music like they want people to torrent it. Idk.)

So I listened to the album, and admittedly, the first 20 seconds was just bad, rofl, literal ear-rape. But then, as weird as the rest of the song was, I ended up liking it... then this sorta repeated with the rest of the songs. Oddly enough, the ones they previewed were some of the weaker ones. Even the one with Daron Malakian. (Come on, you call that a chorus?)

But yeah. I was bored and felt like writing that. Tomorrow I finally get a new phone; been using a shitty, basic phone (well, basic as in not a smartphone) since February. Of last year. Yeah, time for a goddamn upgrade.
