  Review: Arch Enemy - Rise of the Tyrant

  This album, although it was released in 2007 I didn't listen to it until a couple weeks ago. I was thinking it'd be another crappy "nu-Arch Enemy" release, but I was very wrong.

  Rise of the Tyrant is back to form in my eyes for Arch Enemy, this is what metal is supposed to sound like. Sweeping melodies, and heavy riffs with drumming that doesn't beat you over the head via double bass. Melodic death metal is the genre that originally got my attention, and Arch Enemy was the first real DM band I actually enjoyed so it makes me very happy to know they are doing something right.

  If you haven't heard this album and like melodic death metal, check this one out it's really great.

  8.5/10

  Note to FUTURE Self!! (2 years)

  In response to the movie Memento, where he wrote pretty much his future self notes to remember things because he didn't have any short term memory. I've decided to write my future self a note, which you can ask future me questions or leave future you comments. And here we go!

  So, it's been 2 years future me and I (you in the past) have some questions and things to tell you!

  Right now I'm not sure who is going to win the (2008 ) election, but whoever you chose was it a good idea?

  It's been 2 years and you have since graduated (I hope) college, do you have a job that's not working at GameStop? Where are you working?

  Mariners are utter garbage at this time (July 16 2008 ), how are they now?

  What is the economy like? It's sucking at this time, badly, Fannie Mae and a few others are about to get bailed out. I hope a new President will have fixed this.

  You still listen to Death Metal? Have a girlfriend? ... wife?

  You in better shape? YOU BETTER BE, WITH ME ORDERING ALL THESE FITNESS PRODUCTS....

  What new games are out? Right now we have Crysis: Warhead, Left 4 Dead, etc. New systems? Wii, 360, PS3, DS, PSP out now.

  Ok that's enough of the questions for you (future me), have a nice day

  You guys have any questions for future me, or comments to future you's? I will ressurect this blog post in two years so have fun guys. Leave future me, and you's comments
