NolaFree810

how in gods name does one put the faceless above Earth gojira High on fire orange goblin and baroness?

OPP

Earth could really go anywhere on this list. That album has yet to get old. Orange was alright, same with Baroness. Everything 20 and above was great to godlike.

Alex, just curious...
what did you think of Venowl? :-?

OPP

I'm actually listening to it today for the first time.

MetalCoresades

oh cool

OPP

Three minutes in on the first track. This is just like Sunn O))) with actual drum presence and vocals.

And teh singer sounds constipated

OPP

Is there a dying horse raping a woman in the background?

MenAreTrash

After listening to the new Death Grips, I gotta say I'm let down. Not bad but it just feels like they should've spent more time on it.

OPP

I guess my biggest complaint with this is that they just threw a bunch of similar influences in there and hoped for the best. It doesn't mesh well in my mind.

Because i like them, I also got a couple things signed by them :P

...

See?

OPP

Literally all I know about P.O.D.:
- They have that song called Boom
- Another one called Satellite
- I think that's an album of theirs too
- My Christian Studies teacher from high school liked them
- Had no idea they were still making music.
