I'm afraid to say TMR is all I've heard, but that shit
is great. Like the guy in the blog, I heard it when I
was about 16 and was really freaked out by it. I went
back to it a couple of years ago and, well, somethin'
just clicked. Maybe listening to a lot of Suicide 'n
stuff in between prepared me better.
What about Hair Pie Bake 2?? I played it for my dorm
roommate freshman year when I had really gotten into
the album and his reaction was, "Dude! This is
like.... hardcore!" Then he played me "Law Years" by
Ornette Coleman and we drew parallels.
