No... just... just no...

@tim

I'm surprised by the high rating for lullaby. It's probably their worst work. That or Era vulgaris. You heard Like Clockwork?

I have heard everything by this band. I haven't listened to the rest of their discography this year. Which is why they won't be posted until later. In all honesty Lullabies used to be my favorite for a while. Era Vulgaris is probably their worst. Like Clockwork was great, but it didn't feel anything like the level that their first four records hit. But I understand why people dislike Era, and Lullabies.

EDIT: Elphenor I disagree with your opinion. Also I discount it entirely if you won't bother to dive deep into the discography. You should at least try everything before throwing them by the wayside.

Don't get me wrong. I love everything they've done. Their first three albums were just amazing though. I felt like Clockwork was the best album they had done since Deaf.

I would probably agree with you. I think I have Lullabies and Songs for the Deaf tied because they keep switching when I try to rank them.

Not very memorable music, I mean it could be way worse, but just listen to Kyuss at the least
Kyuss heavy as ****, brosef.
