I'm Alright, I'm Ok. I kinda like doin' things this way

So I picked up the new John Reuben CD, and I'm pretty sure I was the first one in Bismarck to have the CD. Why do you ask? Because at 11:00 Tuesday morning, I went down to the Rainbow Shop and looked on their selves for the CD, they didn't have it... on their shelves. There was an empty spot on the "New Releases" section. So I asked the lady working there, if they had it, and she went and checked on the shelves, and she didn't see it, then she went to check in back, and there they were. So I bought it and went on my merry way to listen to it. I enjoy this CD a lot. First time through, I'm like, "Where are the beats, man!?" And then I realized how powerful the lyrics were. Don't get me wrong, I mean the CD pumps the bass. John Reuben has an actual band now, so there's a lot of guitar, bass guitar, and drum driven songs. If I were you, I would pick this baby up. The only disappointment with this CD, is the last song, and how it ends. It seems like it ends short. Leaves you wanting more of the song. It ends after the final verse, so it seems like it randomly stops. Usually songs loop through the chorus, one last time, and then ends, but this song just ends with the verse. It's a nice soft song, that you just get sucked into.

Anywho, that's my opinion of the CD. You should buy it. "Boy Vs. the Cynic" is the name of it.

I was gonna say that, I thought that in my blog, but then I was like "Nah, someone will post a comment like that, and I will end up posting my reason why I doubt it." And I doubt they were sold out, mainly because it was 11 in the morning. No one would go down to the Rainbow Shop, except for me, for the John Reuben CD before 11. I would have been there sooner, but I had summer school :P
