I'd rather have a crab juice.

'Supergroups' are almost always anything but "super". At least Damn Yankees can deflect bullets with their combined powers.

i'd pay good money to see a damn yankee's themed peta commercial.

when you out of here?

baldsteve (August 26, 2008)

I'm out of here friday afternoon. Work has been nuts. Wish I had more free time.

veganboyjosh (August 26, 2008)

yeah, that's too bad.

lemme know if some free time falls into your lap, we can listen to some new punk bands with old-school feel.

sorry about the denver booze situation. we just got sunday liquor stores like 3 weeks ago, no joke.

Did you listen to the band? I can't because I'm at work, but you never know, this guy might be introducing you to your new favorite band.

baldsteve (August 26, 2008)

It could be the second-coming of Jeebus and I wouldn't check it out just because he's fucking annoying. All I can think of is the David Cross bit with the 'battery-operated battery installer" and the "automatic scissors". There's GOT to be a better way!

I didn't know he was in the band...they're way cooler now. Sounds rad.

24HourPriapism (August 26, 2008)

that's awesome. he's in another side-project band called Acid Tiger. sorta garagey/crusty, in the style of one of those louisville bands like Black Cross or a leaner-sounding Coliseum. saw them play with Doomriders about a month and a half ago, surprisingly great.

Mammoth (August 26, 2008)

that IS why I'm stoked to hear this.

The Almighty Ben Koller of the Almighty Converge.

grownfromthecold (August 26, 2008)

My uncle's name is Ben Koller. I seriously doubt he's in Converge though. Also, this band is pretty awesome.

Dante3000 (rich) (August 26, 2008)

Alright! Thursday and Glassjaw and grind music! I was just wondering, "Is there anything that would be the aural equivalent of having a homeless guy shit in my ear and then have it jackhammered in my brain by a dildo?".

Thanks for answering that United Nations.

It's actually a lot better than I thought it'd be. I'd still give it a maximum of three or four songs at a time, but I didn't think I'd make it through one.

Hasheesh (August 26, 2008)

No, I was expecting the same and ended up enjoying it.

he actually posted a bunch of funny comments on the absolutepunk post about this stream.

as much as that site sucks, it may be worth a cursory glance if you are a geoff fan.

however, it is up to you to wade through the shit to find his comments. i won't do it again.

Does everyone have to have avatars of Underoaths new album? I can't believe that many people don't believe in Dinosaurs.

RRK (August 26, 2008)

I don't believe in dinosaurs, just breaded and dinosaur shaped nuggets of chicken product.

Well, to be fair those are delicious.

I saw on AP's front page, there's like some contest for the best Underoath avatar, or some childish shit like that.

RRK (August 26, 2008)

There are actually two threads that I've seen him post in. One about the full album stream, the other about the marketing survey on their website. His user name is Geoffthurs.

I highly recommend taking the survey: http://www.unitedfuckingnations.com/poll.html

they deftly maneuver and muscle for rank, fuel burning fast on an empty tank. reckless and wild, they pour through the turns. their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.

xote (August 26, 2008)

Seriously how can you kids like this shit!?!?!?!

This crap is fucking horrible. The screams are so fucking not good at all and those clean vocals or shouts or whatever they're trying to do there... are just so fucking bad. This is so fucking overproduced/clean bullshit and a poor excuse for "screamo/grind/grindcore/hardcore" whatever fucking genre they're trying to pull off.

I actually was hoping this would be good becuase I respect the singer from Thursday, he actually likes good music and I thought would know how to make something decent and the rest of the band are good musicians, but wow. I really can't beleive how anybody could say they honestly like this, other than just being fanboys of all their other bands

band fucking rules

sugarfull (August 26, 2008)

This isn't really bad, but it's not like Reversal of Man or Orchid. Maybe a bit like Majority Rule or page 99, but that's the closest to the "emo-violence" sound the band is toting itself as. The shouting feels really out of place and the screaming is put too much in the front, which is probably the biggest problem with the record.
