Heard one song and it kinda sucked, but those dudes rock and I just read a real positive review so I don't want to write it off. Anybody heard them shitz yet?

Peace, Love, Recycle.
 
Pitchfork says "A homogeneous shitheap of stream-of-consciousness turgidity."

Cool.

Wow, are Jenna's boobs with child?
 
Fuck this, brand new on half.com for $7.49 + shipping. I owe them one for listening to Deloused on CD-R about 400 times last year (still don't own it).

Yes they're just as infamous for arrogance, but this band is as pretentious as an art school graduate student with a minor in philosophy (IMO of course.) I think some of their material is gut-bustingly awesome, but they go in over their puffed up heads just as often, and despite what you may have heard they're not The Band That Will Single-Handedly Reinvent Prog And Make It Acceptable To Love Again. (that would be kayo dot. or sleepytime gorilla museum. buy of natural history now.)

also infamous for giving amazing reviews to complete crap albums , and vice versa
 
well, it's technical as FUCK. I tried listening to it a few times. I am still undecided. I have to be in the right mood though. I used to love Deloused...then I found out the singer is a dude and it kinda turned me off a lot. Imagine that, lol.

I think you can get it for about 7.99 at Target and Best Buy too.

I heard it awhile back and thought it sounded pretty solid. I have the last one too, although I never really fully got into it. Good stuff, probably deserves more of my attention. But then, so do about 100 other bands.
 
well I love Deloused. I am definately going to give it a listen. Doomcifer, I thought the singer was a eunuch, but I am not gay enough to find out. I still dig his voice, its like a cross between Mustaine, Geddy Lee, and Freddy Mercury. Over the top ball-less brilliance.
 
I remember listening to their CD in a store after all the hype. And once again, people hype shit. Those vocals suck.
 
i dont understand how a underground metal fan can call The Mars Volta pretentious? Isnt that the whole point of their music? Isnt that why it is good?
