It's already the midway point of 2009, and great music just keeps cranking out. The new Reign Supreme is no exception. Start to finish, it's a 13 track ass kicking. I was pretty stoked to find out my two favorites from the demo, "Apostle" and "A Ghost in This City" were remastered. Instantly made this a favorite for album of the year. Blasting the last breakdown in "Apostle" full volume while driving pretty much gave me a disregard for human life at the time. The new songs are also super solid, with guest vocals from Travis of This is Hell and Andrew of CBK. "In Absentia" and "Persevere and Overcome" have to be my favorite new songs. Plenty of mosh parts, a couple singalongs and just overall chaos on this record. Iron Age's "The Sleeping Eye" has just slid into 2nd. Rgn Sup is now currently my favorite of 2009, but that may change when I hear the new Converge. For now though, this record will get heavy play from me.
In other events, saw Transformers 2 the other day. Somewhat underwhelmed, but also still enjoyable. My complaints had to be the twins, so fucking annoying. They were funny at times, but that kind of humor gets really old. I was hoping they would get annihilated by Devastator. SPEAKING OF, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT. GIVING HIM BALLS, GETTING HIS ASS KICKED SOMEWHAT BY THE TWINS, AND BEING KILLED BY A FUCKING LASER OFF A BOAT. BULLLLLLLLLSHIT. Anyways, the main battle was someone disappointing, as I thought it would be more epic. The Fallen died so easily. Things I liked though was Soundwave, as I thought he was portrayed pretty good. I lost it at "Soundwave Acknowledges". Also, I thought it was badass how Prime "went out" halfway. Goddamn impaled and shot through the chest. Overall, it was entertaining, but still terrible.
Oh, and goodnight sweet prince to MJ.
