Oh yeah, we’re going from The Pixies to Ozzy today. These are all great songs. Don’t get discouraged by the horrible Pixies video. In my opinion, one of the worst music videos in history.

You have spoken. I have listened. It took approximately two years, but here is the first edition of what I am calling BURIED TREASURES. Enjoy it. You should all have some fun at my expense here, just like you guys are doing in that Sevendust thread.

“From the splash of cold water that is the album’s opener, “Now Rise,” Taproot mean business. Plead the Fifth is, much to the delight of old-school fans, a rocking return to form of the Gift variety.”

“Truth be told, this is about as pure as any comeback album could be. Scott Weiland — despite his seemingly ongoing addiction problems — still sounds phenomenal and still knows how to bring a dynamic performance to the table, while the song-writing team of the DeLeos, who have always been the unsung heroes of the band, put all of their effort into crafting a solid set of songs that could each find a home on the radio while holding up alongside that classics of the band’s 1990′s career.”

It’s been 12 years. 12 long years since Far dropped the influential Water & Solutions and then proceeded to drop off the face of the Earth.

“Perhaps the material that makes up Miracle will sound better in a live setting, but on the record, it’s a shocking disappointment from a usually dependable band.”

“…if you’ve been listening to this band since the 90′s, can recite every lyric and hum every riff, you’ll still be surprised by what they have to offer here.

Attention New York City. Read this before you hire a moving company.

We received this email from a listener. It focuses on Chris Volz of Flaw. It’s comical and an exciting read. Check it out.

This is an excellent, and as far as I’m concerned, completely accurate review of this album. I wish I could write reviews like Censored and Darius. You should all pick this one up, as it’s worth it for the DVD alone. Enjoy the review. -Andrew
