Dear emusic

I am still kind of bummed about the new pricing system, but iTunes has never given me a free album before. So I still love ya. -Ash

Thank You CMJ and eMusic!

This is a truly brilliant collection. Wasn't sure the first time I listened to it, then the second time I listened to it in the park - it grabbed me. By the end of the weekend I was craving it - just the way a great collection of songs should draw you in. I especially like the F***-the-world narrative of "The Brain" by Frances, the bright instrumental "Atari" by Marco Benevento, and the at-first annoying "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit. That last was the track that I ended up craving by the end of the first weekend.

I used to subscribe to CMJ back when I was in high school (10+ yrs ago). They always came with a sampler disk which really opened my eyes to some great music and some of my favorite bands. Glad to see something like this out here for free and I hope they keep it up!

I'm not going to complain.... There are more important things in life than albums unavailable for download in my country.

I hit the CMJ.com website for their daily Freeload and Download This! features. It's nice to see that eMusic has a whole album of their music to offer for free. The artists and genres are quite varied, but all of good quality, if not all things to all people. That it's free is a good chance appreciate music outside of my normal spectrum which is pretty broad anyway. Definitely worth the download and thanks to CMJ and eMusic for the opportunity.
