Blogging Because I Feel Like I Should

First of all, Happy Easter!
Okay, now that that's out of the way, I just felt like blogging because there's a lot of stuff I want to talk about, and just one of those things isn't enough for a whole post to itself. I'll probably jump from one thing to another without much explanation, so hopefully I won't lose you. I've got some stuff about Rise, Kristen May, and some other stuff that I'll think of as I write. So here goes nothing...

Album art for Rise.

If you read my last post, you heard me fangirl about Skillet's new album, Rise. If you missed that, here's what it said: Rise is Skillet's first concept album, it's being released June 25, and the first single from it, "Sick of It" is being released on iTunes April 9. If you want to know anything else, go read my post. :P Anyways, I have more news for you! The album art for Rise showed up on Facebook and Instagram recently! So there it is, on the right. I think it's pretty cool, and for some reason, I think of the album art for Comatose when I look at it. Does anyone else?
On the subject of Rise, Skillet also posted another teaser for "Sick of It," and personally, I think this one sounds better than the previous teaser. I can't wait to hear the whole thing on the ninth!
Oh, just thought of something else! So, click the jump to read about the new Percy Jackson movie and Kristen May singing "So I Thought."

Rise

Well, my Spring Break just got a lot better! Today on Facebook, Skillet posted the release date for their new album Rise, June 25! I don't think I can wait that long though...
Along with the release date, Skillet also added some other information on their website's blog. According to the post, the first single from Rise, "Sick Of It" will be released on iTunes April 9. Also, if you're one of those cool people who has Instagram, you can post a photo of what you're sick of and it might be in the lyric video for "Sick Of It." Cool, huh?
The other thing I found really awesome was that apparently, Rise is going to be a concept album. Now I don't know about you, but I have a small obsession with concept albums. Pretty much ever since I bought FM Static's Dear Diary, I've thought they were cool. Hey, a story told through a bunch of songs? I'm in. But yeah, I'm really excited to hear Skillet's first concept album.
So that's about all I have to say right now. I'll keep you posted if I find out anything else!

Release the Panic

Hey! Did you know RED is releasing a new album? Man, where have I been...
So yeah, I like just found this out. But if you're like me and didn't know, it's called "Release the Panic" and it's going to be realesed on February 5 next year. And there's a lyric video for the song, "Releae the Panic." Score!! Oh, and the tracklist is here too.

And "Perfect Life" is here!

Woohoo! I'm excited!

And Now On To Disciple

Tomorrow! Yeah, Disciple's new album, "O God Save Us All" is coming out! I just thought I'd post about his since I saw a stream, like with "New Horizons", that you can listen to. I'll probably write more about it tomorrow if I get lucky and someone takes me to Wal-Mart or something to buy the CD. So, enjoy the music!

Final Flyleaf Post for a While, I Promise

So uh, yeah, sorry I'm a little bit late. It's been kinda screwed up around here lately, with the hurricane and school and sleepovers and all that other chaos lately. But here I am! And, last Saturday (Nov. 3), I got my Flyleaf package in the mail! Actually, I wasn't there to receive it myself, since I was at an AWESOME sleepover party, but when my mom came to pick me up, she gave it to me.

By the way, that party was a blast! It was my friend Emily's fifteenth birthday, so she had a party in her cousin's basement. It was me (no DUH), Emily, Nina (the cousin), and Libby. We didn't go to bed until like, six in the morning. Then I woke up at nine, and everyone else got up at eleven. It was interesting. In short, we played logo quiz, listened to Nina and Libby's music (which means mostly Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance), talked to Siri on the iPad, watched the Percy Jackson movie (Nina and I talked through the entire thing), played/watched Just Dance 3(?), and ate cupcakes. Yeah, it was a lot of fun!!

Okay. Sorry, got a bit sidetracked there. So, back to the Flyleaf stuff, I got the cheapest package, the one with the CD and the t-shirt. I was thinking about the poster too, but when I got the CD, I realized that the album "booklet" folds out into a poster. So I'm probably gonna ask my dad to color copy it at his office. Maybe I'll get some for my friends too. Except almost none of them like Flyleaf. Sigh. Well, I'll get some extra copies anyway.
Oh, and I finally got to listen to the whole album! My favorite songs are... Who am I kidding? I like them all!! Their new version of "Broken Wings" is great, by the way. And I may have mentioned this before, but I love how some of the other band members (Sameer and Pat) sing on some songs. Honestly, I think this is my favorite Flyleaf album. Yeah, it might not be as heavy as "Memento Mori" (disclaimer: listen to "Green Heart), but I love it. And even though this has nothing to do with anything, but they mention fire a lot on this album too.

So uh... With that, see ya later!

"Hold fast, don't you look at the past. Because hope and love last beyond the end." - "Stand"

"That's enough now, dry your tears. It's been a long eleven years." - "Fire Fire"

I love these lyrics!

I. Hate. Hurricanes.

Well, it could be worse. I could live in New Jersey.
Yes, people, I live somewhere near the East coast. So that stupid Hurricane Sandy had to come along and kill my electricity. You know what makes it even worse? Yesterday was the release date of "New Horizons!" Okay, the orginal orginal plan was to buy the CD at like Wal-Mart or something the day it came out. That got scratched when I saw the pre-order package that came with that awesome-looking t-shirt. The orginal plan then was to order the t-shirt package thingy, and then look up the songs on like YouTube or something yesterday. That's where Sandy came in and knocked out my power. So here I am, sitting in the library, blogging and listening to this stream of "New Horizons" online. Anyway, once I get my shirt and CD, I'll blog about that.
I haven't been able to listen to the whole album yet, but so far, I'm liking it. "Fire Fire" is great!
Hang in there, readers! Don't get blown away!
