New album out.

Their fourth LP - "The Bedlam In Goliath" - which leaked a couple a weeks ago, is due on the 28th.

As before they deliver of the highest quality. It takes a fair share of spins before it opens up, but damn, when it does it's the best feeling. Here you have strings, falsettos, crunchy guitar, salsa, you name it. That may sound like a mess, but these guys are good at what they do. If there ever was a successor to the spirit of Led Zeppelin, this band is. Hope they last for a long time.

I had quite a bit of their material on my last comp, but before I could fully dive into it, my Dell comp broke and had to buy a new one.

Their first and second album are the best place to start. Their later work is amazing too, but those are modern classics.

The only album I had was Frances the Mute, and then I lost my old hard drive.  That was a fantastic album, I'd certainly recommend it and anything else the band releases.

I am of the opinion that this band sucks fucking donkey dick.

I saw one of their videos on Fuse the other night, and it may have been the most God-awful "song" that I've ever heard in my life.

Have you ever sucked donkey dick? It's not so bad once you get used to it. Quite nice actually.

The Bedlam In Goliath is the record of the year. Pure brilliance.
