I've come back around to liking them. Can't shove all that metalcore down your throat without giving you some of the scenester stuff to chew on as well. Better than most of that ****, though.

Glad you liked it. And yeah, Townes is not at all the kind of guy you'd hear putting out Toby Keith-style bull****. The man was one ****ed up dude. Was pretty much strung out on heroin his whole life, and there's even a story about him shooting Jack and Coke (as in the alcoholic beverage) into his veins, in front of his children no less.
