OBITUARY - The Troc, 9/28, 6PM - Be There!

"Stop Bitching and Start a Revolution". To me, these are words to live by.

I love metal shows, and I love concert posters. So its always a shock and annoyance to me to never see posters or flyers for metal concerts coming up in Philadelphia. The local blogs seem to tend to ignore them, instead opting to post (as I've ranted a million times before) about some indie rock or trance/electronica band.

On Monday, September 28th, Obituary, Goatwhore, Krisiun, and Warbringer will play The Trocadero at 6PM! Tickets are only $17.50, $20 at the door, and it should be a good show!

You can download the awesome flyer yourself to print and hand out by clicking THIS LINK.

So go out, spread the word, tell your friends, and jump in the pit!

8-Album Mind: The Kids Aren't Alright

Another day, another haul! Today's actually is going to include one other days worth of CD's, but it's only the first three.

Nuclear Assault- Third World Genocide ♠ SOLD! CRAP!
Obituary - Slowly We Rot ♠♠♠
Obituary - Cause of Death ♠♠♠
Obituary - Frozen in Time ♠♠♠♠
The Offspring - The Offspring ♠♠♠
The Offspring - Ignition ♠♠♠♠
The Offspring - Smash ♠♠♠♠♠
The Offspring - Ixnay on the Hombre ♠♠♠♠
The Offspring - Americana ♠♠♠♠♠
The Offspring - Conspiracy of One ♠♠♠♠♠
Opeth - Deliverance ♠♠♠♠
VANS - Off The Wall Vol 5 ♠♠

The Nuclear Assault album, "Third World Genocide", was just a god-awful abomination. Generic riff's, terrible vocals... CRAP! Obituary's early offerings may had been groundbreaking at the time, but they now come off as OK discs. "Frozen in Time" showed they could actually surpass it.

Thee Offspring is one of my favorite groups, and getting to listen to so many albums in one day was a welcomed treat! I held off on the last two albums and singles until tomorrow so I had some more punk later on. Choice cuts; "The Kids Aren't Alright", "Americana", "Pay the Man", "Jennifer Lost the War", "Session", "L.A.P.D.", "Bad Habit", "Cool to Hate", and "Gone Away".

Opeth "Deliverance" was today's surprise; I had contemplated selling my Opeth albums since they never clicked but today this one did. Simply a great album! Only 6 songs, but clocking in at a little over a hour long... this is something you listen to when you want to listen to something a little heady.

The VANS Punk Comp, "Off The Wall Vol 5", is simply "meh". I've been tempted to sell it more times than I can count, but it's stayed simply because of 2 or 3 songs. In fact, I got into The Distillers becuase of it. Might sell, might not... a day or two will tell.
