Riddle of Steel- Got This Feelin' (2005)

I remember hearing great things about Riddle of Steel when this came out in 2005. In fact, it was seemingly everywhere, Robotic Empire even put out the vinyl. For some reason I never got around to checking it out. It wasn't until Riddle of Steel guitarist/vocalist Andrew Elstner joined Torche last year and people started talking about them again that I remembered to give this album a listen. Turns out I'm a fucking moron, because Got This Feelin' is an absolutely incredible power pop album and had I known I would have been listening to the shit out of this for the last six years. This is absolutely essential if you're a fan of Weezer, Criteria, The Presidents of the United States of America, Foo Fighters or even Torche as it does get a little heavy now and again. Ridiculously catchy. Crazy awesome bass lines. Get it.

Ugh...

I did a really shitty job of posting on this thing in May. Lame. self-recrimination

Neat

So originally I used this blog for a required part of an IT class, an IT class for a bunch of Library and Information Science grad students who were all liberal arts majors (read: a monkey could have passed that class). I deleted that blog before I decided to repurpose it as a music blog, but apparently when you subscribe to the RSS feed via Google Reader you can still see the deleted posts (and apparently this can't be fixed). So ignore it or see what it was like to be in an IT class aimed at the Amish.
