trouble has found me; i'll never leave

Woke up this morning to the rain, the sound of drumming on timpanis with the precision of Bryan Devendorf. I've been listening to Trouble Will Find Me since around 9 pm last night, through now; I woke up with "This Is the Last Time" in my brain (the surprisingly biggest jewel in this treasure trove of an album). So now, this is a rainy day album, although it'll probably be much more than that.

I just have to talk about this album briefly, although if you click through to my tumblr, you can probably get a better idea of how devoted I am to listening to, deciphering, and drowning in this album.

It's. So. Good. Even after all the hype, and releasing so many songs before the release, it has greatly exceeded my expectations. I love every single song, and what I love most is not only how cohesive the album is when you listen to it straight through, but how it even works all shuffled up. Absolutely brilliant.

Their music means so much to me, and mostly because of the memories that shoot up to the surface when I listen to any of their songs. I can't wait to see them in September.

There is no group of people, that I do not know personally, that I would like to hug and kiss more than these guys. They add flavor to my thoughts. They inspire me.

Okay, enough gushing; I've got some writing of my own to do.
