    Best Albums of 2009 (so far)

    Just picked up Crack the Skye... wouldn't say I'm about to become a mega Mastodon fan, but the album sounds great.

    song similarity pink floyd and metallica

    The video is fail. But anyway, when you listen to a certain band for long enough, their influence will undoubtedly start to seep into your songwriting.

    Great Early TOOL Video

    Wow, Maynard was quite the tweaker... I have to say though, that's impressively close to the studio version.
