Don't bother to turn down the treble knob or the bass for that matter. In fact, run in the other direction and hang on. My latest rediscovery is the band Sunna (One Minute Science). This is by far the best trip in sound I have taken in a long time. Imagine if Kurt Cobain, Filter and S.T.P were to spawn, the result would be Sunna.
This album is a perfect mix of hard grinding sound (I'm not trading) mixed with dark and seriously disturbing ballads (I miss). One reviewer said "This album seethes with testosterone-driven intensity". I don't expect that this genre of music is for everyone. You won't likely get the urge to prance around your apartment while this is playing, though Insanity Pulse will have you head banging along to it's beat. In sharp contrast, O.D and Forlorn might make you tear up and take notice of it's precise and aching energy. Combine the two approaches and you'll see that it's a colossal effort at sturdy rock. Each time I listen to this cd, I have to be reminded of the fact that this project is from the same genius that brought us the stunning sounds of Massive Attack. Quite the departure, aggressive, moody and definitely an original. It had me white-knuckled at the armrest of my sofa, while I let the pure tension rush through me.

Hey,
You know, if you like this band, you should also check our Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, they totally kick ass!
I never heard of the other bands you wrote about, but I'll look into them.
Happy blogging. See ya.
This is a good entry my friend.
I just finished listening to SugarTooth (thanks for the recommendation) Maybe ripping off Black Sabbth wasn't such a good idea afterall. HA! I noticed that they haven't done much since their first release.
Listen to the Screaming Trees again and write a review, I want hear your take on Mark Lanegan.
Peace.
Mark
