You want something totally different?
I'll tell you where to find it. Try Sweden.
It may sound strange to you with no guitars on this whole album, but you'll be amazed at what can come of that! Mood music? I don't think so! Easy Listening? Try again! The songs are very dark in nature, but drive home a very real point! Our days on this spinning globe of dirt are very numbered!
Plus you can really freak out your friends by listening to this bonus! I've been listening to this in my Jeep, and had more than one opportunity to tell my passenger or a passer-by who it is and what they are singing about! Besides being really great noise, it's a tool to ministry too, once again, bonus!
This is really one you'll have to hear to understand. The vocals are very distorted, lots of things being beat on, some keyboards, used sparingly. It's something one cannot fathom, unless you've heard it! This is a little hard to find, and you may wanna think about making the trip to Cornerstone to see them live this year. I know I'm not going to miss it!
If you can find this one, please do yourself a favor, pick it up, just for something you'll have to listen to when you get tired of all the guitars and screaming that you'll find in all of your death and destruction CD's. It'll put a new twist on your out-look on Dead.
Is this what they play in Heaven!?!

Straw, their latest effort, is a beautiful piece of…
