Really, GSY!BE here?
I fucking love this band. One of the best ones in developing build-ups. This album is pure gold.

"The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel. The sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine. And the machine is bleeding to death."

I'm very conflicted on this one, it has some insane buildups that lead to incredible parts but they're lost in a sea of pretty underwhelming stuff.
I guess I'll stick with Yanqui U.X.O.

I mean, this was a watershed album, and it's easy to see why. Even if you don't like the album, you can't deny its enormous impact on the metal scene. Too many bands to name have been influenced by this record. It's perfect. It is the soundtrack to an awaiting apocalypse.
