Perfect Day

So, this week I have heard two really good albums from very different ends of the spectrum.

Megadeth came back from breaking up a few years back (Dave Mustaine damaged a nerve and was not sure he was ever going to be able to play guitar again) and released The System has Failed. I don't listen to much metal anymore, some queensryche, a little dream theater and a few others, I guess stavesacre counts as metal, but none of that Nu-metal crap. This album, however, rocks. I do not know if I can say more than that about it.

The other is from Michael Pritzel of The Violet Burning. It is called Hollow Songs. It is mostly reworkings of Violet Burning tunes but in a stripped down sort of way that is amazing.

The album is very different from the megadeth album, but very very good.

I recommend that you listen to both.
