if the record gets the right push, i could see this album getting a grammy.

I have heard the album.
Its dope.
Nothing shocking or far from the keys normally do.

I would say it sounds a little looser. And there are certain textures added that make this record outstanding.
To me its almost like they kept in line with what they normally do, and have added somethings that give you a feeling of the Rza circa "Iron Man" and "Liquid Swords" in a manner that would still appeal to a kid that chains smokes while rocking a Led Zepplin patch in high school.

watched the video on the television and it was funny, and i actually watched the whole thing - the kicker is that they played the whole thing; i thought they didn't do that on MTV anymore

Yay!

Can't wait for the show on Sunday, anyone else making a trip to Indy to see them?

Hooooweeeee, I sure am diggin' this.

It has been brought to my attention that the new record was not very well received by the young republican reader "vice magazine". i have always felt that the writers would be more suited following in their parents footsteps and bankrolling the bush administration than reviewing the arts, and or being involved in the arts for that matter. i feel like a proud parent. the album cover got worst of the month. cheers.

I like this album a lot. "Psychotic girl" is my early fave so far. There are some slower more laid back songs on this one, a good move in my eyes.

psychotic girl is one of my faves too. I was very happy when they played it Sunday. The show was great.

Is it too much to ask that The Other Paper get the song names right, geez!
