Just got finished trying to listen to Glassjaw and The Mars Volta. Of Glassjaw, I tried Siberian Kiss, Convectuoso and Cosmopolitan Bloodloss. I recognize the artistry, but not for me. Of Mars Volta, I tried the Bach Song (tape looping != music) and Wasting My Air (because he was making such good use of it. Not.)
Sorry folks, I wanted to like them, but, if one is going to scream when singing, one needs to scream land sing at the same time, ala Bruce Dickinson, not just howl like a skillsaw ripping plywood.
Incidentally, Maiden Rulez!
And a third for Reverend Horton Heat.
