I never saw the Swans influence until it was shoved in my face just now with Jarboe on vocals. Cool shit, very uplifting (uh...yeah...)

third place on my list now, behind only
1.) AE--Anthems of Rebellion and
2.) Brodequin--Prelude to Execution (only two fuckin' songs but guess who loves this band)

i dig a couple neurosis tracks off times of grace.

anthems got old too quick for me...

i'd rather listen to stigmata.

I really like it..

I just meant for current year releases--

I'll concede that the last two songs on Anthems are yawn-machines.

I kinda Like the Anthems...

go get brodequin
go get brodequin
go get brodequin

the new Neurosis/Jarobe thing is cool... I dig it...
but it just makes me wanna listen to the new Khanate things viral.

if you havent heard the new Khanate yet... you are in for a skin crawling treat.

or get this....

Ive never heard it. but the cover is killing me.

I haven't made it all the way through the new Khanate yet. I guess I'll have to be in a mood for it starting so quietly. I like CDs to start loud then bring nuances later (I hate intros)

Maybe if I randomize the two CDs together that'd do the trick.

The first Khanate haunted me for weeks.

Khante? I've heard some cool things but havn't checked it out...That is a sweet cover..

yeah Retch is some brutal shit.

Steve Albini's production on Times of Grace helped them (Neurosis) a million-fold.

He's producing the next one so I'll pick it up the minute I see it.
