its like if dave mustaine watched nightmare before Christmas too many times.
Instrumentals save this but i think it takes itself too seriously.
Being chronically offline is great cause I had no prior knowledge of all the release stuff, I enjoyed the hell out of this.
"Live" is a rare skip. I can usually make it 3/4s the way through and then he turns the lackadaisical style up to 12 and it just bugs me.
Gas attendant told me that he liked it so far, wasn't able to finish it yet. He likes when Deftones play harder stuff and then said White Pony was his fav?? Okay bro.
