I picked up Mos Def's latest album the other day, I haven't been overly impressed with it so far. I thought I'd dig the funk-rock-rap vibe, but I'm wishing it was more like his older flowing hip hop stuff. There are good songs, but he's just not spitting anything like he used to on it... maybe it'll grow on me, I don't know.
Snow Patrol kind of gets on my nerves, but then it might just be the friend who is always pushing them on me. "Run" is a great track, I will agree with that, but I don't like the singer's voice in a lot of the other songs, and the lyrics seem really cheesy and meaningless a lot of the time. The fact that I heard "Spitting Games" a million times in Triple Play 2004 doesn't help things much either.
