My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

www.sanity.com.au: The 'Hey Yeah' boys put together this unique style release featuring two discs each for their own. Grammy-winning duo Outkast Big Boi and Andre 3000 have a disc to themselves, though each also will appear on the other's side. Great album.. definitely worth a listen.

There are few legitimate albums in existence that have as much filler as this disastrous double album. Ok Ok Ok - you might say that albums such as the second installment of the Spice Girls or half of 2pac's greatest hits, or Britney Spears entire second and third albums and even Fresh Prince's greatest hits... or *gasp* Marky Mark's greatest hits are all almost entirely filler - but I did say legitimate albums and the abovementioned are obviously not legitimate albums at all.

Usually you get one (1) great song on an album and three (3) good songs that grow on you more and more as you listen to them. Conversely, there is always that inevitable piece of shit song that you skip over unless your either to busy, or feeling indifferent at the time. Rarely you get a great album where every song is fantastic eg. Ten - Pearl Jam, Throwing Copper- Live, Clarity-JEW, About A Boy - Badly Drawn Boy, Parklife - Blur, Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters, Useful Music - Josh Joplin Group, and but a handful of others.

However, in stark contrast to the aforementioned formula so many other "artists" use on their albums Outkast has one catchy song that grates on you after a few listens and 2 CD's of filler. I do not know exactly what I was expecting to begin with. In my defense I would like to point out it was the best of a bad bunch of CD's that I could purchase from Port Macquarie Sanity with a gift voucher I had - it did come with two (2) CD's for the price of a normal overpriced to buggery Sanity CD.

I have since learnt my lesson on buying an album sound unheard. It has sat in my CD collection gathering dust for the past few months. I cannot for the life of me even give it away to a good home - I cannot find a home that is willing to put up with it. Oh woe, woe is me! Woe!

The next album I would like would have to be one (1) of the following:

1. Mirrorball - Neil Young
2. Hey Album - Marvelous 3
3. Chronicles - Rush
4. Bizarre Ride II -Pharcyde
5. Whatsoever I may be wanting the next time I compile a list, which as you probably can guess, is all dependent on what my feeble brain can think of at the time.
