While I respectfully disagree with that order, I do think that Extras might have been Danny Radcliffe's finest work.

What confuses me about this whole guess thread is that no one correctly guessed FIGS as one of the five best fruit. It's shameful, really.

The album: metal as fuck

The guess thread: let's rate fruit and talk about the Office

This is why i love this place

I want to try this beer now. Burial is probably my favorite Asheville brewery that I've tried. I'll have to check them out next time I visit my sister.

By far the best brewery in town! Also, next time you are here, I would gladly meet ya there for a beer

I know the Khemmis has proven victorious in the N&G ROTM battle royal but I just saw this posted on the Metal thread and it seemed like it needed to be reposted here too...

My copy of Khemmis arrived today! Listening with the family. Thought the kids would be looking at me weird, but I think they like it! Nice.

I love how the whole family can enjoy a man processing his grief-fueled nightmares!

Hilarious! Very true, and very ridiculous, but the music can sound triumphant even with the heavy lyrical themes. It’s no Pallbearer with the teasing out of melancholy.

My wife plays kids music sometimes but I refuse. My 4 year old’s favorites are Megadeth and Fiona Apple and my 2 year old loves death metal and hip hop.

I swear, parts of the songs Hunted and Beyond the Door really remind me of Explosions in the Sky. I don’t know if that’s because of similar influences, the similar expression of an emotional journey, or just my ears playing tricks on me because of similar tones. It’s only in small snippets and in very specific places.

Or I’m stupid or crazy.

Maybe all of the above!

There are tiny bits and pieces of “post” type soundscapes for sure IMO. I know the guys in the band have very diverse influences.

a 2 year old into death metal is hilarious but awesome

Believe 20 Buck Spin still has the silver/electric blue variant (I just ordered mine) for $17.99 plus shipping if anyone is looking to order one.
