Essay #1 Help?

I like to think that my love for music knows no bounds. I love listening to all sorts of genres; from the classical masterpieces of Beethoven and Chopin to the intense sounds of Slipknot and Metallica. Every note that has passed through my ears has affected me in many different ways, but there is one album which is completely different from the rest, that means more to me than any other.

Anberlin's second album, and best in my opinion, Cities. The album includes both beautifully haunting and loud, soaring vocals. On different tracks the sharp guitar playing transforms from loud and powerful to perfectly soft seemlessly, just like the intense drumming of Nate Young.

It's difficult to describe just how the music that the five musicians create makes me feel, it just does. I think it's the raw, emotionally charged lyricist/vocalist Stephen Christian sing so perfectly. OR maybe how every song seems to flow so perfectly into the next.

So, on buzznet this is only three paragraphs long, which is true on paper, but it's over one page becuase we have to skip lines in my new english class, great. But, that's all I've got so far. I have no idea what else I'm going to do, I know I wrote a journal a while back about how much I loved Cities, haha, maybe I can just look at that.

But, opinions? What can I work on, what can I drop? Help? :]

Can I just say that I agree to everything you just stated.
I saw Anberlin last night & they played an encore which was Fin*.
I remember you told me(buzznet) about that song & it was the first Anberlin song I heard.
I cried while they played it. Stephen kept glancing at me because I was this loner girl in the corner crying & singing along. Cities is BY FAR their best record.
I think you have won my vote for the 3 paragraphs you've written. Maybe you should talk about your favourite song off it?
Good luck!!! : D
Sorry bout the long comment. I just LOVE them so much! Partially because of you.

O_O I AM SO JEALOUS. Every time I see them I cross my fingers and pray that they'll play (*Fin) because I love that song to death, and they never do. I pretty much changed up my entire paper, but it's still based solely on Anberlin, and the song Alexithymia. I'll post my finished paper later, though.
