| So I got the Pro-Pain promo in the mail today. Love it! Very different, though. Nothing drastic, but diffenent enough. Like when they got really heavy on The Truth Hurts or the clean singing that first showed up on Round Six (I think it was Round Six, anyway) and then the death metal vocals on the last few albums, this one has a more sing-a-long punk feel. In fact, a lot of the songs have big, cleanly-sung choruses. Not metalcore or anything like that, but literally like an old school hardcore punk album. It's pretty sweet!
Here are two songs, both give a good idea of where this album is at:
HALO
GO IT ALONE
"Go It Alone" is like an Agnostic Front tune, a dedication to the fans. Great stuff. I love this band!

| | Too bad nothing really came of that Crumbsuckers reunion. I was hoping they would have made a new record. |

Just the first record? They sound nothing like that anymore. In fact, they only sounded like that on the debut. The follow-up was really heavy, then they eased off the pedal and settled into a zone between the first two albums and have basically stayed their through 11 albums, adding new elements now and then to make it sound fresh.

| Imloving the new album. Got it at FYE yesterday, Favorite tracks so far are
Let the Blood run through the streets
To Never Return
Phoenix Rising
I'm liking how they put more hooks on this cd then they usually have it seems to be a lot more fresh. Another awesome release from these guys..

Is that Gary doing the clean vocals?

Yup. There's a guest vocalist on "Hour of the Time," but I'm not sure what he is singing. Gary has been trying some clean vocals every now and then going back to Round 6. It was only a matter of time before he tried it a bit more on an album.
Did you know Rob Barrett (Cannibal Corpse) does the leads on "Phoenix Rising?" You know what else, Meskill didn't write all these songs like he normally does. Over the years, Klimchuck has co-written a lot of tunes, but this time out, 6 of the 10 songs were written by either Klimchuck himself, or by him and the other two guys. Meskill did lyrics. Gary didn't write a single song by himself. I wonder why that is? Maybe Pro-Pain is more of a band now and he feels like he can let a little of that control go? I'd say this is why the album sounds so different and new.
Interesting.

I say it is long over due that T.K. gets in on the songwriting he has been with the band for what every cd but one? I always found that name Rob Barrett as awesome mine is Rob Jarrett haha
