Album Review of Papercut Chronicles II and other Cinema News...

So the before I get into the Album Review, just a update on the prologue release date, its not the 16th anymore, its now the 21st of December. It's still attached with Mission: Impossible IV aka Ghost Protocol.  The prologue is going to be very similar to the Dark Knight one, and what I mean by that is, it is the first 6 to seven minutes of the film like before, and it shows the origin of Bane in the Nolan timeline, just like the Dark Knight Prologue showed Joker's origin in the timeline. Its also only attached to IMAX copies of Ghost Protocol, just like Dark Knight's was attached to IMAX copies of I Am Legend. Paul Franklin the Dark Knight Rises Visual Effects Supervisor tweeted a link on his twitter to official IMAX theatres so you can see the prologue. Just like Paul Franklin I too am providing the link. List of Official Imax Theaters The theater I am seeing it at is the Edwards at the Ontario Mills. So if you will be there expect to see me there as well, on Dec 20th at Midnight, please note that after the prologue I will be walking out because I don't care for the Mission Impossible Franchise. In other releated Rises news another cover of Banes Empire cover magazine has been released, its a limited edition one. This franchise has gone back to sucking the money out of me. I also now have to start buying the shirts again, as the first official one has been released, its the teaser poster.
Straight up Bad Ass

So now for the Album Review... as you may or may not know, I am an avid Gym Class Heroes fan. For the last year I have been pretty excited and hyped up for this album to come out. I became even more hyped up when I saw a teaser performance of their new album at Club Nokia this past summer. Just when I thought my hype at reached its peak you could only imagine how more stoked I was when I found out I would be receiving the album a week early due to ordering their VIP package for their concert at the Grove with the Dirty Heads. Bottom line I really wanted this album to come out. So as you might know they cancelled their concert I bought and thus my VIP package was cancelled. Besides leaving a sour taste in my mouth due to making a couple of media appearances and performances after cancelling their tour due to Travie's hospitalization. I still love this album. I have literally raped my replay button and have just looped this album over and over again. It was truly worth the hype. It feels like Papercut Chronicles one to me but just better. Now I will admit I am still bitter about the whole concert thing, more so because they are still going to Jingle Ball for Kiss FM but I guess I will eventually get over it. My favorite songs off the album are not really the singles. Holy Horseshit Batman is by far my favorite track and not for the title, it sums up how I feel about religion and that's why I really like the song, I totally identify with it. Solo Discotheque(Whiskey Business) is the next track followed by Kid Nothing and the Never-Ended Nightmare. Then the singles just fall into place, I like Ass Back Home over Stereo Hearts now and then Fighter. I am aware that I didn't need to name off the order of the songs but I felt like I should. This album was very well done, a interesting note is that in Kid Nothing which is the last track there is a 3 minute gap of silence followed by the outro by an audio voice, I personally think its funny but that is just me. As you can tell I heavily recommend this album it is really good. Its the first album all year that I have been excited for that didn't disappoint. Mind you Gym Class Heroes is one of my favorite bands so I am some what biased, I do feel though that if you pick up this album 9 out of 10 says you will enjoy it.
