It's been a while, yes? Yes. So what prompts me to post? In a word, music. In two words, hockey music. In three words, new hockey music. More words than that and we'll all be bored. So, without further ado, the lineup:
1. Styx - Renegade
2. Powerman 5000 - Action
3. Metallica - Fuel
4. Limp Bizkit - Rollin (Urban Assault Remix)
5. Lunatic Calm - Leave You Far Behind
6. 10 Years - Actions & Motives
7. AC/DC - Back in Black
8. Chevelle - Don't Fake This
9. Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare
10. Caged Elephant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
11. Rob Zombie - Superbeast
12. Seether - Like Suicide
13. Skillet - Rebirthing
14. System of a Down - Aerials
15. Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
16. Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow
17. Muse - Knights of Cydonia
18. No Doubt - Hella Good
All of these songs had to have the requirement of having good sound. For some of them, their sound is what puts them here (see No Doubt and Caged Elephant). For some, it's their action-oriented lyrics (see Powerman 5000 and Rob Zombie). Styx made the cut because of a rather memorable jumbotron video at the Igloo that celebrated the Steelers' Super Bowl victory while spurring on Pens fans to cheer on their team for what would end up a Stanley Cup victory. Prodigy made it because IMD, much like Limp Bizkit's Rollin remix, gets the blood pumping in anticipation.
As a basic way of summing up the new album, it's a much grittier and angrier sound. There are tracks you don't play around people with virgin ears (Rollin', Nightmare), and tracks you don't play around old people (Don't Fake This, Like Suicide, well, just about all of them).
Even though a turn-around in goaltending play requires my team to score more goals (something I can't quite help out with from the net), the music may help to get my mind into more of a focus for games. And if more focus helps with those strange odd-bounce goals, then so be it. Look out virgin ears, you're about to be violated.
