Album Of The Week: Envy Atheist’s Cornea

Not gonna lie: This is a weird week for Album Of The Week. It's weird (1) because Tom is on vacation, and this is usually his space, so instead of getting the guy you're used to, you've got me. It's weird (2) because this is the week in which Global Release Day takes effect. You might not be aware of this, but till now, we published AOTW on Tuesday, because till now, in the United States, albums came out on Tuesday. IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME AND THAT WAS JUST THE WAY THINGS WERE DONE! Now, though, by decree of the International Music Cabal, albums are coming out on Friday in every country (with the exception of, y'know, a whole bunch of countries, including countries in Asia, where people actually still buy CDs). So now, we're running this feature on Friday. FWIW, Noel Gallagher thinks Global Release Day is dumb, and -- as is often the case -- I agree with Noel. And like Noel, I don't really understand Global Release Day but that's not gonna stop me from having an opinion based on stubborn contrarianism, old-school common sense, and arbitrary selfishness. What I mean to say is, I really liked reading AOTW every Tuesday! Maybe I'll get used to this new schedule, but right now, it sucks! Right, Noel?
