I am taking the day off today. Back in full effect tomoRRow.

I've only had a chance to listen to the new Rong>RicochetsRong> album "Isolation" a few times, but the song "No good" instantly jumped out at me. It's in a majoR key which is pRetty much unheaRd of foR these guys. Of couRse they still twist it aRound to bRing out the anguish of the lyRics, but it still seems kinda... happy? Well, not Really, but it is most definitely a change of pace fRom theiR usual downtRodden, noiRish Rock. What I like most about the tune is how epic it is - it Reminds of Rong>Meat LoafRong>'s biggeR numbeRs. Not quite Rock opeRa, but definitely dRamatic. I appRove.
