Chris Young's Album A.M. Review

 

ALBUM REVIEW A.M.

Chris Young, a country music up and comer, recently came out with a new album entitled A.M. It’s a fantastic country album with eleven songs on it. The songs are; Aw Naw (4/5), Hold You To It (3/5), Lonely Eyes (4/5), Goodbye (3/5), A.M. (4/5), Nothin’ But the Cooler Left (5/5), Who I am With You (5/5), Text Me Texas (3/5), We’re Gonna Find It Tonight (5/5), Forgiveness (3/5) and Lighters In the Air (4/5). Most of the songs on the album are pretty upbeat. The total track is thirty seven minutes long. It’s a great album to listen to in the car. With every song getting between a 3/5 and 5/5 I would give A.M. a 4/5.

            Typically you would find people who like country music would listen to this. Country music is generally accepted by most generations. This particular album would be most popular among 16-30 year olds. The album has great balance because there’s faster and slower songs. There’s a song for every mood. The flow of songs is perfect. It starts moderate then speeds up to some more upbeat songs. After that it begins to slow down into a light romantic tone.

            The title of the album should have been “We’re Gonna Find it Tonight” because it was the best song on the track. It was the most fun to listen to. It is the type of song where you can listen to it anywhere and it will boost your mood. The song can be related to so many situations it could play a role in anyone’s life. With lyrics like “Whatever gets you moving Gets you grooving Gets you fired up” it allows people to think of something relevant to their own life. It brings people to a time they were excited for something and lets them relive that moment. This is something all great songs should have; the ability to be applied to the listener’s life.

            A.M. by Chris Young is a phenomenal album that can be enjoyed by listeners of all ages. The style, flow, and balance all blend perfectly into one fantastic album. I would highly suggest listening to this listener friendly album with the whole family or by yourself. It received 4/5 stars and is expected to have at least three songs in the Country top 40. It is also expected to be nominated for best albums by many people. Chris Young did a fantastic job with his latest album, A.M.

 

Summer Vacation Is a Must

Hello members of the School committee,
         The current issue we are gathered to talk about is the schedule for the upcoming school year. I do not believe getting rid of summer vacation will be beneficial to our students. Come the end of May the students are already starting to burn out. If we kept them in school all year round they would be so mentally drained their grades would drop. Not to mention the rebellion that would come with this. Students value their summer vacation. It is a time for kids to be kids, "the possibility of fun and freedom and play," said David Von Drehle in "The Case Against Summer Vacation". A time to make new friends, unwind, play sports and go on family vacations with out missing assignments and getting behind.
          Not only is summer the perfect time for kids to unwind and be themselves, its also a great opportunity to explore career opportunities. There are summer camps, internships and jobs available for teens to build their resumes and gain experience in specific fields. David Von Drehle references how summers came to be with ,"long agrarian pasts when kids were needed in the fields during growing season," he explains. Though this is not the case anymore kids have other jobs that they must tend to during the summer. With the economy as bad as it is many families need kids to work to help put food on the table. It is hard for kids to be students and employees. There simply is not enough time in a day to go to school and make a sufficient amount of money. Summer vacation is important to more than the kids.
         Summer vacation is an important part of the American way of life. Changing it now would cause rebellion by students, teachers, and parents. For many people summer is a time to enjoy each others company and the joys of childhood. Without it kids would grow sick of learning and even teachers would become tired of teaching. Summer is the most beneficial break for students, teachers, parents and other school employees changing it would only create problems.

Holiday Spending

Where does Christmas magic come from? It comes from the spirit of being around loved ones, admiring lights and decorations, the wonder of the presents got under the tree and how the stockings got full. It doesn't matter what is under the tree or in the stockings; what matters is somehow they got full while you were sleeping. The spirit of Christmas is being ruined by greed and over spending. Christmas used to be about love, magic and joy. Now it's only about how much debt you're going to be in by the time it's over. That makes it really hard to enjoy. Depression rates sky rocket during the winter. How could they not when you don't have money to pay your bills because you were to busy trying to keep up with the Jones. The Christmas Spirit is being lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
