Some stuff I've nbought recently and what I thought, not that it matters. PRIMUS-PORK SODA Absolutely Awesome....The songs My Name Is Mud, DMV, Mr. Krinkle, Pork Soda, and Hamburger Train rule the universe...."Swilling down those can's of Swine" GET THIS ALBUM OR SO HELP ME I"ll GET YOU! SOUNDGARDEN-SUPERUNKNOWN I don't know why I keep doing this to myself...every time they come out with a new album, I buy it...and I always only like ONE SONG, or two at most. My two on this album? MAILMAN and 4TH OF JULY. Otherwise, flat and tepid...I'd avoid it unless you are a Soundgarden fanatic NIN-THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL I'm a Metalhead of old...always was, have played in several garage bands...I didn't wash befor there was a GRUNGE SCENE...and I have to say, that even though I didn't expect it...DOWNWARD SPIRAL kicked my ass. Great album....Side one especially rulse, even PIGGIES. TYPE O NEGATIVE-BLOODY KISSES (LTD. EDITION NON JEWELBOX) This is music to ritually murder someone by. I swear the song Christian Woman makes me think about sex on a tabernacle. The whole album is more Gothic than St. Dennis in France...if you like Goth, you'll love this..I myself kind of like it, but feel uncomfortable with Lyrics like "She'd like to know God...OOH Love God...Feel her God...Inside of her, Deep inside of Her...Jesus Christ looks like me." THERAPY?-TROUBLEGUM YOU MUST BUY THIS ALBUM! The following songs will destroy your mind: KNIVES, SCREAMAGER, DIE LAUGHING, TRIGGER INSID, FEMTEX, UNREQUITED, BRAINSAW...There's a sample of "You are my sunshine" that can drive a strong man to weep and a powerful woman to kill. Excellent album, heartily recommended by THIS manic depressive. If you've ver been diagnosed with a mental disorder OR taken drugs (BOTH of which help even more) YTou will hear your own voice here. TOOL-UNDERTOW It was a toss up as to which album I liked more, this one or THERAPY?, but Therapy barely won it, as almost all of side one here is all over the radio. But this is still a great album, especially DISGUSTIPATED, which, I think, setteles the whole "Meat is Murder" REM crap once and for all. "THIS is natural...This is Natural...This is Natural...LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE...LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE...LIFE FEEDS ON LIFE...This is Natural.." truly an awesome power these lads have. "AND I HEARD THE SHRIEKS, and I said to God, what is that horrible wail...He said, it is harvest day, and those are the Carrots..to them, it is the HOLOCAUST!" Well, that's all for now. Badger01
