Coheed and Cambria ·2003

Frank Zappa & The Mothers ·1972

Hybrid Theory

LINKIN PARK ·2000

Vulgar Display of Power

Pantera ·1992

"this record is like when they introduce a lot of like the groove to it. Cowboys from Hell is more of like a speed metal record, kind of sounds like Judas Priest on [__] PCP or something. Lots of good [__] on this one by demons, Be Driven is probably my favorite or uh, Rise is a [__] good one."

The Long Run

Eagles ·1979
