as I was saying, death.

As in,

The band Death has something we all thought...would at least be strange. But the rest of us know better, musicianship in death metal is simply the aesthetic--the very ground on which blood drips et cetera.

But they've got more of it, and it's better--

Listen, the singer will explain. This will positively jar you--recall that the strangest aspect of Megadeth in the Peace Sells days is that they had a drummer named Gar. Death follows that with a gently gay singer songwriter lead-guitarist: the far too modest father of death metal. This also explains why they keep the solos away from the vocals, and the band is the freest: they've got the director again. Now each is his own: solos, however, played deadpan together, stringently close: no layers, each is synced quite nice.

It startles the more you listen, I promise: forget it hasn't the flavor you'd typically appreciated applied to anything, let alone sharp musicianship.

Skit scat, ain't no body goin listen to that shit.
