Shaking the Habitual- the new album by THE KNIFE is definitely a major deviation from their old former Sync-pop music.

my initial cursory listen of the album was quiet a traumatising experience cuz i didnot like any of the songs from the album…

but on a repeated and a not-so-cursory listen the album has begun to grow on me.. the music is definitely unique and there’s a lot of different instruments being used here… and though it may sound like noise pollution it actually isnt!! 

My fav songs from the album

#1(cd 1) A tooth for an eye (this is a very addictive song)

#4(cd 1) without you my life would be boring (very hypnotic and catchy)

#1(cd 2) raging Lung (my fav song in the album)

#6(cd 2) ready to loose (the only song that i actually liked on the cursory listen)..

i think i like the new KNIFE?? i dont really know yet.. but regardless this new album is definitely a breath of fresh air.. and a 100% far-removed from the mainstream pop scene… so if you like it ALL-is-Good…but be-warned this is definitely not for everyone..

great dance music… Track #8 All in Form is definitely one of the very best pieces of modern music my ears have witnessed.

Wild Belle- Isles

before i bought the album i heard some of their song son youtube..

the first song that i heard from the album was Keep you(#1)- it has a Reggae/jazzy vibe to it and the jazzy beats at the end of the track is a winner…

and then i heard the song Love like this(#8).. this again has a Regge vibe to it… Though i hate Reggae music i found this song very soothing.. specially the part where she goes “i never knew a love like this”… anywho this song requires a repeated listen to get hooked to it..

and then i was in the Music shop FOPP and i impulsively bought the album…

i am glad to say that i DO love the album a lot.. and the rest of the album is not REGGAE at all.. YEAY!!

My favourite song in the album is #4-Twisted.. this song has a very upbeat tune.. 

Track #7 Another Girl is the most poppiest of them all.. kind-of in the lines of Duggy and Kate Nash but still its a good song with its hooks..

Track #9 When it’s over kind-a reminds me of She&Him… its a very simple sweet easily memorable song…

overall an above average album…

loving this album…

Lykke li’s Wounded Rhymes..

this album came out back in 2011 but i was only introduced to her music a few weeks ago… so shame on me!! anyway the first song i heard from the album was I FOLLOW RIVERS.. i was instantly hooked.. SO HOOKED tht i bought the album solely on my likeness for tht song..

the rest of the album even though i hated it at the first skimmed listen, has begun to grow on me…

the album consists of mostly SAD songs and the album kind of revolves around the Unrequited-love theme.. And guess what?? Unrequited love has been the story of my life. so this album has struck an emotional chord in me..

track#7 Sadness is a blessing is incredibly Sad and emotionally draining song.. the lyrics is just too sad… like this bit- “These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight,I dream of times when you were mine so I,Can keep it like a haunting”.. LIKE HELLO!! thts a true definition of Unrequited love right there..

track# I know Places is another heart felt song.. the way she sings it is just so moving… and the simplicity of the song… she sings is like a poem… i almost find myself on the brink of tears while listening to this song… LOVE IT!!!

track# 3 Love out of lust AGain has a sad undertone to it.. even though the chorus bit is a bit Iffy for me.. i have grown to love the song after repeated listens…

track#4 Unrequited love.(period)

track# 5 Get some is a very wacky Dance Song… tht i strangely have grown to like…

over all, I love the album…I follow rivers is easily the most Addictive song i have heard in a long time…

#2 Of mice and men by John Steinbeck…

a very short story that despite its length covers a wide range of themes without ever being too forced or contrived…

i give this book a 5/5.

#1 les Miserables

Finishes les Miserables a week ago…  my first read for the 50 Book challenge 2013. It was an Intense and LONG(felt infinite) READ..

Jean Valjean is probably the nicest character ever created…. If Les Miserables was a Bible Jean Valjean would be Jesus…

i wont say i loved the book Cuz i DIDNOT thebook contains  500+pages of unnecessary INFO that has nothing to do with the PLOT.. as a matter of fact the PLOT(storyline) plays a secondary role in this book about French History.. but despite all that, I REALLY REALLY loved the parts where the Book did follow the PLOT.. and Needless to say, HUGO is an amazing writer..

i am giving this EPIC a 3 out of 5 stars. 

3/5
