I had the sudden urge to listen to Thirty-Three while I was at work today.

And so when I came home, I put it on, and it was just as great as I remembered it.

This album reminds of being in Grade 9. It reminds me of sunny days, and good friends, and just, a time when things were, different. Not good, not bad, just different.

It reminds me of long walks, and farewell and goodnights, and losing people, and meeting people.

This album meant a lot to me, it meant so much back then, it still means a lot.

I love Mellon Collie days - which is funny, because my Mellon Collie days are never very mellon collie.

I'm glad I've fallen in love with it again.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was a great CD I cant wait for them to finish in the studio. I like this band so much and Zwan as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwan

I've had this album since it came out, but I can't sleep right now, and am working on an essay for school, and I started to play it.

And it is such a great, great album.

I loved it from the moment that I put it on, it was just one of those albums for me. And no matter how many times I listen to it, I will never get sick of it.

I read Ask the Dust, because of it, which I also loved.

I have the version that came with the acoustic disc as well. I am not sure if there even was a version without the acoustic disc.. Whatever, I just remember listening to it over and over, and falling in love with it.

I don't know, I just love this album, but Black Out is also pretty great.

Plus, I just have a giant crush on Tim Kasher.
