Recent CD Purchases

Bored of my music, I made a set of purchaces over the two weeks or so:

1. Chemical Brothers - Push the Button
   Solid set of the typical Chemical Brothers work. First track with Q-Tip works well.
2. U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
   Outside the incredibly bizzare intro to the CD in Spanish, it's enjoyable. Nothing really shocking or winning here.
3. Green Day - American Idiot
   Great album, probably their best since Dookie. Great lyrics and guitar work. I'm still listening to this one to get through all the content.
4. Linkin Park/Jay Z - Collision Course
   This was a total cop out to radio music driven by Numb/Encore. It fires at about 50%, with Jigga What/Faith, Points of Authority/99 Problems, and of course Numb/Encore being steller tracks. The DVD is also worth a watch.
5. Frequent Flyer - Rio de Janeiro
   An arbitrary pick up at SFO while waiting for a flight. First disk opens with some strong down temp bossa nova, gets weak towards the middle and end. Second disk pulls through with some faster beats and more vibe.
