Only The Strong Survive Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 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?
Guest Burrito Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 I really dig SJR. The songs do get repetitive, but it is still good work IMO. It's really hard and heavy, so it's fine by me haha. They get shit on by too many people because they aren't as good as Down and Pantera I think, but it's a totally different style of music so you gotta take that into consideration when you check out SJR if you are fan of Down or Pantera. (Wow, that was a long run on and prolly made no sense haha) All in all, I enjoy SJR and hopefully they play Ozzfest this year (if there is one.)
Corey_Lazarus Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 I hate SJR, I can barely tolerate Pantera, and Down is good as long as the song isn't "Beautifully Depressed."

Red Baron Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 i'm surprised you haven't gone back to the place you got the CD from and asked for your money, time and your hearing back from listening to that junk
Steviekick Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 I have the last SJR album, it wasn't bad but I haven't listened to it in over a year. I also fully agree with Laz' views on Pantera and Down
Corey_Lazarus Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Off topic but Laz, greatest sig EVVVVVVVVVVVER. Thanks. My buddy Jay made it. He makes lots of pics. I may upload his "Planters: Cock & Nuts" pic soon and replace the Saddam/Hasselhoff one. MAY.
