Black out days I don't recognize you anymore

Well, after an accidental drunken Valentine's Day weekend adventure consisting of wawa, strawberry moscato, and fireball shots (who am I?!), I woke up yesterday in CT and magically my iTunes was filled with the new Phantogram album Voices.

This is their 2nd full studio album and to be honest, I wasn't always a fan. I had listened to them a bit in college and I knew Mouthful of Diamonds and When I'm Small, but I wasn't really sold. Now, being 25 and depressed.... I have a much better appreciation for them.

A couple of weeks ago, I had heard Fall in Love on Radio 104.1 and told Emily about it. She hadn't heard of it, but had heard of Bill Murray, another single off their album. Well, that was everything I needed it to be at the time. It was there to calm me in the toughest of times.

Anyway, about their new album. There's 11 songs on the album and I'd say 9 of them are solid... giving this album a B- overall. It is rare to find albums where I enjoy every single song and Phantogram was so close to delivering. Their lyrics are definitely amazing this time around though.

If you haven't, you should at least give it a chance. My least favorite songs are the 2 songs where the guy is singing on them: I Don't Blame You and Never Going Home. I absolutely love the beats of both of those songs, but his voice just doesn't do it for me.

Here's the track listing:
1. Nothing But Trouble
2. Black Out Days
3. Fall In Love
4. Never Going Home
5. The Day You Died
6. Howling At the Moon
7. Bad Dreams
8. Bill Murray
9. I Don't Blame You
10. Celebrating Nothing
11. My Only Friend

So far, my favorites are Fall In Love, Black Out Days, The Day You Died, and Bill Murray.

Happy listening and here's to surviving another day...

Give me a reason to stay alive
I've got the feeling we're gonna die
I hide behind my eyes and lies and broken mirrors
And every day I say this time around my vision's getting clearer
