I don't often offer my opinions on music much anymore, but I thought I'd bring up the album Perfecting Loneliness by Jets to Brazil. If you want something real, with poignant lyrics sowed from the seeds of something legitimate, this is for you. The songs lack pop hooks and rely instead on amazing guitar and piano arrangements to create something far more special that the overproduced and shiny sludge we hear today on MTV2 or on that Emo-kid-you know's-Ipod.

There's is no whining about the one that got away. Just the somber honesty and realism of heartache being revisited and respected. If you want something that's both rocking and mellow in all the right places, pick this up and really listen. I promise it will be worth it.
