Avalanche

I'm so happy that others agree with me on this album. I purchased it, I think the day it was released, nearly 2 years ago and it is still consistently my favorite cd. Sure I purchase a new one every now and then but this cd always finds its way back into my stereo for a few days stint at a time in order to get my emotional fix from powerful music.

The lyrical content might be confusing to some, including myself, but the vocals and the music in this will blow most people away. I love how Matt Good has moved from more traditional rock to experiment with some other musical mediums on this album and the marriage of the two types of music and his voice still moves me after hearing the album hundreds of times since I bought it. From start to end, it's damn good listening.

My favorites are "While We Were Hunting Rabbits", and "Nearing Fantastica"... they build up and get you rolling!

I hope he can match this album in the future but I can't see how. He never lets me down per say but his newer album doesn't compare to Avalanche in my opinion, but mostly because it's simply a different style and I prefer the more complex music of Avalanche.

Now, Matthew, we're all very excited to hear how you plan to fix 3rd world debt. Never been done before. This is a very exciting time now that we've got you here to tackle all the tough problems. So what do you have for us? What's that, Matthew? All we need to do is super-size 3rd world debt relief? Mercy! Matthew Good just ended poverty! It was SO EASY.

But Matthew... what should we do about ambition? We're all TRYING to be ambitious, but apparently every time we do something good, we're just patting ourselves on the back. What's that, Matty? We should SUPER-SIZE our AMBITION TOO?!? I'm not sure I understand, but you're the great, noble and wise Matthew Good, so I'll DO IT!

Okay, I just super-sized my ambition. Just enough to write this review. I
