Ha ha, just flicked past broken face as it's shiteeee  :lol:

Vamos is pretty cool though.

That was my opinion when I first heard it. It does grow on you (after about 20 listens!)
I think I hate being indecisive.

Crotch rot grows on you too, but I don't want that in my life either.  :P

Levitate me is a good song.  Think I'll put this CD back in my motor and give it a few more goes.  Definately a lot better than I remember it.

Just about to stick Jurassic 5 back on.  If you can download music, I think the track is called "Lesson 6" (dunno, probably on youtube somewhere too).  Got the best drum beat ever and after about 2 minutes when they slow a 45rpm record to 33rpm and start druming over the top of it is perhaps my favorite bit of music at the minute.  Everyone I've played it to thinks it's especially funky, it's the type of music that makes you rock forwards and backwards rather than side to side.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

Shame the production is gash though. Really poorly mixed in my opinion, some songs are ruined by the drums being too loud or vocals too quiet. Steve Albini can be useless sometimes.

been listening to a lot of Sucioperro recently. I'd recommend them highly, my second favorite band. www.myspace.com/sucioperro
Mississippi Queens, Holydiver.

Clutch is most definitely my favourite band in the world in space (whose members are under the age of 50, anyway :wink: ).

They haven't done any bad albums (I call them albums too  :lol: ), but the first two are a little more hardcore-ish, then they went to more of a stoner sound (bear in mind I'm not very good on "definitions" of different types of rock/metal...).  It was never really sludgy though, they always had great songs and brilliant lyrics.

I'd say they started getting bluesier and groovier around the time of Blast Tyrant and Robot Hive/Exodus - those two albums are great - then the last two have been really very bluesy indeed.

Actually, a good place to start is the rarities compilation Slow Hole to China.  It used to be quite hard to get hold of, but it's been re-released this year with a few extra tracks.

There wont be ANY.

Sensational live band. Neil Fallon is probably my favourite singer in rock.

I do dig his vocals and lyrics....sounds like a meat grinder/lyrics have a stream of conciousness vibe-I dig his story about the song "50,000 watts .."...says the lyrics popped into his head while driving to the beer store.."anthrax,ham radio, and liquor..."....its been in my head all day :)

Theres something about the vocals in Clutch which I find really grating. He has a huge voice but after a few songs it really gets on my tits. I also find them a bit overrated, lots of ok songs with a few really great ones. Maybe I have the wrong albums (Pure Rock Fury and Blast Tyrant)

Pagans Mind - Infinity Divine

hahah so cheesy, I havent listened to them for ages.

The new Enuff Z'Nuff album "Dissonance".  It's really bloody good actually.  Unfortunately only available on Japanese import currently.

The same.

Although, curiously enough, Windows Media Player thinks the CD is something called "The Harvest Floor" by Cattle Decapitation.  :lol:

Undoubtedly!  :D   WMP's OK, though, it does the job.

Also listening to Tesla - Real to Reel 2.
