are we seriously so old that all of our favorite bands are hanging up their shreddin' guitars for more subdued/understated work?

see: Radiohead, Incubus, MMJ... If QOTSA's new album isn't balls to the wall, Ima b sad.

Ya. The new Dropkick Murphys album that came out the first week of march was mostly folk songs instead of retarded amounts of drums.

I hate that trend too E_1

Homme is going to drop F and melt our faces.

I'm with ya, man. If it wasn't for Wasting Light, I would've lost all hope. The first track is sick though.

uh... is there any reason my version of You Wanna Freak Out is only 1:41 long?

I think the leak had a busted Freak Out.

Victory Dance, The Day Is Coming, and Black Metal are my early faves.
