So, most of you* already know...

...but this was the Mysery Disc.

FA, I didn't hear anything, so I hope I'm not spoiling the "surprise."

*Most of you, meaning those who applied for it.

It finally arrived on Wednesday! It's been competing for time with the new Crowded House and Ryan Adams, so I haven't spun it yet.

Considering that I've never heard of Tom Hawk, no suprised was spoiled. But I am looking forward to listening to it.

I've come to really like this disc. I need more Mike Patton!

There's plenty of him out there. He's one prolific mofro.

Yeah, I'm with Troy on this one. I like the goth-o-industrial meets Inca gold dessert vibe of this album. Good call.

I don't mind the fact that they seemingly eschew traditional vocal melodies as I haven't been all that fond of what I've heard from the rock/metal/industrial genres in the last five years or so anyway. Vocalists with a strong range don't seem to be getting pushed in favor of the compressed, mid-rangey growl and gutteral grunge boys. So why even try, eh? Maybe someone needs to hook up Diamanda Galas with Pain of Salvation. Maybe not.

Either way, thanks for a good one out of left field.

Would that be dessert or desert? Either way would work, I 'spose. *shrug*

Touche. What's for lunch?
