You know what really grinds my gears? There hasn't been a completely Earth Shattering cd release all year. I'm only talking about loud rock at this point, because i'm not as failiar with the other genres. The closest thing we got was Mastadon, which was praised by critics like it was written by god, recorded by jesus, and produced by Billy Mays. It's a good album, i'll give it it's due... but it's no Number of the Beast. It's no Painkiller. It's no Vulgar Display of Power. What it is, in everything good it shows off, is the best looking turd in a never-ending line of stalls.
