[kj] The Only Poll That Matters - T.B.'s Favorite Albums of '06

[Robert Mallett]

seeing Van Halen in 77 musta been monster.

there is a lot of downtuned and metal core shit around, but a lot of gems 
keeping popping. I just bought the new Krux album II (members of Candlemass) 
and it's killer. I have all of the Mastodon albums but for some reason they 
haven't connected with me yet. I guess perserverance pays off. I agree the 
Lamb of God singer sucks, and looks like a jock on crack.

Have you tried any of the doom/stoner doom bands like Cathedral, Electric 
Wizard, Grand Magus ? I suspect you'd love em.
