Insomnia 2.0

So a music update.
I have been listening to a lot of metal and hardcore lately for really no reason. I guess sometimes listening to screaming voices and guitars is just right. I have listened to the new Escape the Fate record and really don't have much of an opinion. Their first record was better but different, the new vocalist does not fit their sound but the record wasn't terribly painful. I am sure someone with a better understanding of their music could go deeper than that.
A song I have been feeling lately is Paramore's "Decode". I have never been a Paramore fan but I do have to admit their most recent record was pretty good and this single off the Twilight soundtrack is actually very good. If their next record goes in a similar direction I am eager to hear it.
Also in music news AFI has completed writing their 8th record and will now begin recording. This is good news but does not necessarily give us a time frame as to when it will be released, Decemberunderground took 3 years to create. My best guess is that it will be out by summer, I can't imagine it will take an entire year to record. I am always eager to hear anything from AFI or course, I think they are one of the most dynamic bands music has seen in a long time, their sound changes drastically between records.

Below are links to download some songs I enjoy lately
Paramore- "Decode"

Morrissey- "The youngest was the most loved"
