Different strokes I guess. Retina and Blocking Out the Stars are some of my favorite tracks.

I'll have to give that record another listen. I listen to their first record all the time, but--truth be told--I forgot they had a second LP. When you mentioned it, my initial reaction was "what? They only had one record", but sure enough, they had two and I own both. I've since come to remember getting the second record and being underwhelmed, but that was years ago. I'll dig it out and give it another shot.

(both are awesome but All the footprints is very special for me)
They're definitely both great! A Dead Sinking Story is just flawless from start to finish, though.

Agree with this, but I always consider SFBM to be an album. Also, there is a Mudhoney doc? Added to watchlist!
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.

Is this the right crowd to embark upon pages of impassioned nerd-rage after someone tries to claim Super Mario Brothers 2 is a better game than the original?
