No Canadian Adventure today as I'm in a bit of a slump. It says a lot when I'm reading Lament of the Lamb to cheer up. A little collection of quick reviews of stuff I've got recently and not so recently.
CD - Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys
Its the album Whatever People Say I Am should've been. A thunderous collection of massively improved riffs and lyrics with a far better sense of pace.
Manga - Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata
A brilliant story of morality and mortality. One of those excellent stories where you aren't sure who to cheer for with a fantastically dark sense of humour.
Manga - Hikaru no Go by Yumi Holta and Takeshi Obata (yes the same one)
A very fun series with great characters but crippled by the fact that there's no basic explaination of the Go rules.
Manga - Fake by Sanami Matoh
Its the supporting cast that make this story hilarious. One of those rare examples of a yaoi series with its head in reality.
Book - Triptych by Karin Slaughter
The supreme ending takes dedication to get to as the beginning of this story is unbelievably slow.
Game - Megaman Battle Network 5
The classic Battle Network mechanics are as sound as ever, but the frustrating and sometimes impossible liberation missions make this the worst Battle Network yet.
