NOTES:
- I love Funeral Oration so much I am gonna one day record a double- or triple- album of reinterpretations of their music
- "Bayani" is one of the best hip hop albums I have heard in a very very long time
- I didn't realize that Drunk Injuns was just Los Olvidados with a different singer til after the fact but I coincidentally listened to both bands on back to back nights. It's a small world.
- Woody Guthrie just ain't my thang
- Lye By Mistake will blow your mind
- I hate to say it but Dying Fetus kind of fucking sucks
- I listened to that DTAL EP twice trying to like it and it just wasn't meant to be
- My Type O Negative CD is all fucked up :(
- That original female singer from Despised Icon had crazy ass vocals I can understand why they wanted a more traditional scream to get bigger but damn that shit is weird
- Roni Size was making dubstep look stupid way back in the late 90s, kids
- I remember A Life Once Lost and The National sucking, but I guess not
- "Are You Dead Yet?" is great by any standard but its not the worst piece of shit ever made like everyone acts
- Old Dimmu Borgir is so much doper than the polished newer stuff
- We listened to Paramore and Taking Back Sunday on the way back from Riverside and Nando looked like he wanted to kill himself
- The Skulls suck
- "Cries from the Past" by Underoath is a SHITTY album
- As far as Sodom albums go, the first one sucks but the second one is really good
- "Angel Dust" by Faith No More is one of the best metal albums ever recorded, one of the best albums from the 90s in general
- "Reunion Tour" is alright but far and away the worst album by the Weakerthans
- Man o man does Ministry rip it
