adamdoom Bottle it up, package it, and mail it to me. I would drink this album.

I did actually get this album mailed to me, but I can't drink it - except sonically.

This shit rules, hope my neighbors like it. Favorite track: Black Yesterday.

As has happened many times now, YouTube Music's algorithm introduced me to something that would earn a place in my collection! If I'd just looked at the genre description and the band title, honestly, I would have never given this album a listen. Just didn't seem like anything I'd like. Boy, has my mind been changed! pictureelement
