	COMMENT \| better than i expected posted by : stonecoldmetal 11/20/2009 9:25:14 AM

	scumbag blues has a kick ass riff, dead end friends is one of my favorites. the first 2 tracks they released didn't do them justice. picked it up at best buy for $9.99. The Compnay Band's new album should be arriving at my house today, can't wait for that either.

	Hell yeah

	COMMENT \| Kickass album. posted by : klonozo 11/20/2009 4:23:20 PM

	Just bought this album and it's great, really different than anythnig out there. No corporate pandering, it's real jams, these guys cover alot of styles for a brand new band. "Gunman" knocks my dick in, John Paul Jones bass lines are like a machine gun. Only complaint is that I wish Grohl sang more, his voice sounds great on "Mind Eraser No Chaser". 80K for a new band is quite respectable, Rush sold 95k their first week on Snakes & Arrows. Thumbs up.

	COMMENT \| Also..love the artwork. posted by : klonozo 11/20/2009 4:24:42 PM

	I'm also digging the cover and those weird creatures, fits the vibe of the band in a cool way.

	This album is fucking mighty. Totally exceeded my expectations in a wonderful way. Thank you Josh, Davey and JPJ! Utmost respect to you and your earth-shattering debut!

	COMMENT \| Plant and Page should take lessons posted by : BattleOfNY 11/23/2009 9:40:48 AM

	On staying with your roots and knowing who to collaborate with. Fuck Puffy and Allison!!!
