My boy and one of three monsters he caught that day...
The weekend is finally here (doesn't it just seem sometimes to take forever to get to that all illusive Friday night) and it was payday. After the bills are paid I'm usually just left with pocket change but there's always enough left for a stop at one of two buffets for the old lady and I in the big city. You guys are probably tired of me mentioning that, but it's the little regular things that keep it going. My bro Erio commented in my last post that he didn't much care for Rush but that he did like the tune Bastille Day. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT1gmKUoqbY&w=790&h=593] Now that turned out to not only be a great tune but one that I don't think I'd ever heard before, which made me think even more about how radio stations just play the same thing over and over again. Enough of that and on to something a little harder and heavier.
Well my bro Jason over at Lo-Res Viscera was one step ahead of me (actually he's giant steps ahead of me in other ways) and did a post I was planning on doing. Rather than walk in someone elses footsteps (normally that wouldn't stop me) you should definately go to his always awesome site and get Neurosis' The Word As Law. That really is my favorite album by the band, maybe because it was my first exposure to them. My buddy Doug Rogers back into college dubbed it onto a cassette for me to groove to. Do you guys remember taking record store released cassettes of bands you didn't like and putting tape over the tabs so you could record over them. Anyway that's what Doug did to put Word... on a cassette for me. I played the shit outta that tape to the point that it finally wore out. I couldn't find it for cheap so I just got it in a torrent a while back. I do like the later Neurosis stuff but there's something about this straight ahead stuff that speaks to me more than their "out there" stuff. Pain Of Mind is definately my second favorite and fortunately for you I have the 2000 re-release that included a bonus CD. This rip came in a torrent as well but I do own this re-release of Pain... My favorite tune is Dominoes Fall which you get in a demo version as well. Every memeber of this band is perfect and for me the dual vocals just put them over the top. This is just a must listen to album. Let me know.
