not exactly radio friendly

i swung by tower records yesterday to purchase me a copy of cambio's album, derby light, and hopefully sample sugarfree's new album, dramachine. as luck would have it, there where no listening stations that carried sugarfree's latest.

a listening station dedicated to the rock genre was unoccupied. being a fan of music, i was naturally curious to what the angst filled *kids* where punishing their ears nowadays. so i propped the headset and settled in for some screeching guitars, fast and furious drumbeats and hoarse vocals. i opted to listen to slipknot's and mudvayne's newest. with the blaring trance music on the background, i had no choice but to listen with the volume way up. besides, i know for a fact that this type of music is best played at the loudest. slipknot first, then mudvayne afterwards.

surprise surprise. they were not half as bad as i'd expected. although most of the time i didn't understand what the singer is screaming about there were some tracks that i had to restrain myself from headbanggin' (sigh, i miss my hair...) and slammin' with the people passing by. after basking in their music for about an hour or so, i felt that my ears were bleeding so i decided to cease my sound trippin'. and for some reason, gusto kong maghanap ng hifhaf.

seriuosly though, i think you're average metal head would have a ball with their albums. personally, i liked mudvayne better than slipknot because they have better rythym and more melodic songs than those masked men. but at the end of the day i wouldn't go out of my way to buy their albums.

unless you give me the money.
