write a review for anything. But this time it's different. As much as I hate writing, I want to.

The time I first ran into Saosin was about less than a year ago. Yes, it can't even come close compared to the time I've known Backstreet Boys(eww). But since then, their influence have been growing fast in me. I love Cove Reber's high pitched voice. I think his voice suits Saosin more than the previous Anthony Green. And don't even mention the drums...Alex is a prodigy! But I dont know how well will they perform live though. I hope they will make another trip to Japan. I was so disappointed with myself for missing their Tour in Japan last year.

Today, I spent almost an hour listening to all of the songs from their latest album. I've always been listening to their songs but today I think they deserve a little bit of my attention and time. My favourite songs are no doubt Voices and You Are Not Alone. The drums and the harmonized vocals can easily make one achieve orgasm (even guys). Of course the guitars are awesome too!


"Those who haven't listen to Saosin have no slightest idea about screamo/alternative rock music"


That's my line for their music~

And the marks of course!








*drum rolls*












*more drum rolls*





tada!

8.2 out of 10

No I don't usually rate above 8. So you see...It's really worth to get their original CD.(Sorry guys, I'll make sure I buy an ori for the next album) To show even more support, I've bought one of their T-shirts online~



And I want more! But heck no one's selling them in Japan. You can only find a few, and they dont look good enough to me. Maybe I'll just order from the states when I have more money in my pocket...

That's all for today, thanks for reading.

Lately I am so much into computer music. I mean not just listening to it but also I feel like composing a few pieces. But it's hard to get started, to be really honest. My busy schedule aside, it required pretty much motivation to finally install FL studio in my computer.

Ok, I got FL Studio icon on my desktop now. I can create music directly from my mind and make it visible. FL Studio is that good.

So check it out -> FL Studio

But still, even with all the tools needed to create a music piece, I have to go through all the obstacles like geek jargons and all the difficult-to-understand settings. But this time I am serious so it's just a matter of time before I compose my first music. Man I just can't wait till that moment!!

To start things off I've tweaked my audio settings a little. Instead of Windows DirectSound drivers I'm using the ASIO4ALL, which is a free ASIO(Audio Stream Input Output) driver.


Why?


Good question. According to FL Help,

"ASIO drivers give the better performance in terms of CPU efficiency. ASIO is also a prerequisite for audio recording. "

And that's true. I've tested both of them(ASIO driver and DirectSound). With music playing on the background, I tried to minimize FL Studio to my taskbar. When I set to ASIO4ALL there wasn't any lag but I can hear the lag if I switch to DirectSound. It was obvious.

That's just a simple example of the differences between both drivers. Another thing I like about ASIO4ALL is the buttons to switch between Advanced and Simple mode.





Besides that I'm thinking of getting a better sound card and headphones, despite my terrible financial status..

I just can't get enough of this song.
The drums sound challenging to me.
Maybe I'll practice this one first instead of saosin's.
_____________________________________

Breathe in for luck.
Breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull.
These hearts, they race, from self-control.
Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine.
We're doing fine.
We're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me?
So I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.

The words are hushed, "let's not get busted."
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey did you get some?"
Man that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close, they can't hear.
So we can get some.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember.
Always remember the sound of the stereo.
The dim of the soft lights.
The scent of your hair, that you twirled in your fingers.
And the time on the clock, when we realized "It's so late!"
And this walk that we share together.
The streets were wet, and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it, and let you in.
And you stood at the door, with your hands on my waist.
And you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew...that you meant it.
