I've been pretty into Pantera for the past year or so. I was in the record store today buying some Cd's for my mom for christmas, and I went over to the Metal section and was looking through, just browsing. I almost bought the Pantera Live CD, but instead I gave the new Superjoint Ritual "A Lethal Dose of American Hatred" a spin, and I proceeded to buy it, a little unsure if it would click. I ran through the whole thing, and although a lot of the songs sound a bit similar, I'm really digging this new side of Phil. Pantera is definitely over and done with (a sentiment I'm sure many metal fans on this board and everywhere else shares), and SJR has definitely turned me onto punk rock in general.
Anybody else got thoughts about SJR?
