Dear everyone,
We’ve been making some major changes here at LovetheMusic.
The biggest one is that we’ve moved from our Wordpress host to our own domain. Yippeee!
Update your bookmarks! www.lovethemusicreviews.com
We’re very excited. We are continuing the Wordpress trend, however, and using that as our blogging platform. We have big plans for LovetheMusic, and we felt that our next step was to move to a server that we can access. We’ve changed the Feed address, so if you subscribed to us before we switched to Feedburner, update your readers. Our comments feed is also available through Feedburner, too.

Because we’ve made this big switch, we should be able to provide better content, with more usability for our readers.
Some changes:
Social bookmarking links at the end of each post, for your convenience.
Non-gmail email addresses.
A newsletter, which is still in the works.
Hosted mp3s, so mp3 links won’t ever go out, unless we intend them to.
Related Posts List at the end of each post, so if you didn’t find exactly what you were looking for, or if you want to keep reading, it will be much easier.
The About, Contact, Disclaimer and Link To Us pages have all been updated with new information.
Some of our reviews are behind schedule due to this big change, and I (Jen) have been working on this day and night for…too long.
More updates to come, thanks for reading!

I found out about
A little bit, actually. While Amy Winehouse's new album is impressive in style, bold lyrics and bringing an old genre of music back to the forefront and mainstream, her album sounds tired. The album is almost entirely set in the sixties, reminescent of The Supremes and Diana Ross, which makes for a good change of pace but also a lack of originality. Theres a traditional snappy beat, with backup vocals that remind me of a 'Dirty Dancing' summer. "Rehab" is the first track on the album, and a single, I believe, which is understandably popular. "They tried to make me go to rehab/I said No, no, no/They tried to make go to rehab/And I won't go, go, go" is autobiographical in nature, according to some sources on the net. Drama aside, my personal favorites are "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good". Have a listen, it makes for good music but not a breakthrough album. I'm a tough critic, apparently. Final Verdict : Take it for a spin and make up your own mind. Jazz and soul is always good (in my book), but don't expect a favorite.
They played "Welcome, Ghosts", and I was quite relaxed by it, and impressed. Impressed because it is entirely instrumental, and instrumental music, I think, is not listened to enough or given enough credit. It seems Explosions In the Sky has a quality that I love in people, the ability to not say anything, to speak. The album is good, but not excellent. I have read some reviews around the net, and they all seem to be raving. I think theres something missing. It's missing something, perhaps a little pizzazz. There are 6 tracks on the album, and although they have a pretty, other-worldly sound, they flow by too easily without a notice. This is the first album of Explosions In the Sky I have heard, so this could be a marked improvement for them, thus the raving reviews. Check it out. It's good listening, for sure, but not a breakthrough or standout album like I expected.
