What were the Melvins like...? Got the chance to see them opening for Tool
few years back but got there too late...duh. Have wanted to make up for that
since...Buzz is credited with popularizing drop D (so is Kim Thayil but he's
honest enough to say that Buzz showed it to him):

My fave albums that "dropped" in the '07.
1) Bloody Panda - Pheromone

14) Kavinsky - 1986 EP
15) Blut Aus Nord - Odinist: The Destruction of Reason by Illumination
Also, let's not forget an honourable mention to the albums that came out
this year that I thought might be awesome
but just left me feeling a little deflated and sad:
High On Fire - Death Is This Communion
Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works (I actually do enjoy this one a lot more
than I thought I would. Still, it
doesn't quite make the grade)
Baroness - The Red Album
The Young Gods - Super Ready/Fragmente
Justice - "cross"
Battles - Mirrored
Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb
Also got to see Slayer TWICE, Jesu (twice too!), Skinny Puppy, Melvins,
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Secret Chiefs 3, among other less notables....
Not a terrible year for music and it's involvement in my life.
