I love getting new CD's. As much as listening to old ones rocks, new ones are just as awesome. The nasty smell of the ink used to print the jacket, the difficulty getting it open, the sense of accomplishment as it enters the CD player, and the excitement of finally listening to it. MP#'s are cool and all, but a new CD definitely rules.
So last weekend I picked up Eminem's new one, The Eminem Show. I admit, not everything he has to say is worth listening to, but he is a talented lyricist. His beats are different, and his sampling is fun. For instance, "My Dad's Gone Crazy", a song which features samples of his daughter's voice is great. The beat and the chorus are addictive, and I found myself repeating them over and over. I admit, this may make me.. Ah, you'll be able to call me something. Let's just say I like this CD and leave it that.
I'm also currently taking my first cruise through Come Clean by Puddle of Mudd. I'm enjoying it so far. I'll let you know if my opinion changes as I get more familiar with it.
