OPINION

Throughout the year, albums will be released and people will be rocked. I will try to organize some of the madness in my own head by writing down how I feel about certain albums and hopefully provide insight to you, the reader, into weather or not these pieces of music are worth the 15 dollars a piece we pay for them. I look forward to keeping up with this!!! Rock on.

EDIT: 1/22/08: E80 is off tour. Details to come.
EDIT: 1/26/08: E80 is still together. They are writing, but its going to take longer than expected. Check out what they have to say at http://www.myspace.com/elementeighty
