After that kind of build up I had to listen to this.
Uh, how do I put this? There must be different categories of best album of the year that nothing can touch with perfect vocals.

I suppose I should say progressive metal album of the year. I honestly meant to catch a few other posters with this band but if you can dig the music, that's great -- if not, sorry for misleading.

Awesome. Be sure and listen to original track I posted -- probably my favorite song on the album. The violinist is also the singer (clean vocals).

I like a lot of stuff like ACB.

My favorite band is August Burns Red. I really was into a lot of Emery, Showbread, and Project 86 too.

I've got a bunch of buddies who were into that sort of music and I just really enjoy it.

I'm so far behind on what actual "music genres" are. But, stuff like ACB and ABR -- I'm really into.

If you missed all the Frank Ocean hype (he confessed in a pretty moving blog post to having had an unrequited love for a good male friend) in the last week, then this performance might not be quite as "heavy." Anyway, this is the song with the lyric in it that led to the speculation, which led to him "coming out." For anyone who knows anything about the hiphop world, this is a big ****ing deal as Frank is a lady's man who is part of Odd Future (they're like the JackAsses crew of hiphop right now), so it's a really strange deal.

All that being said, the performance stands on its own:

Now that you've streamed the new Frank Ocean album (you did didn't you?), check out the new Baroness album in its entirety.

I'll probably get freaky with the lady later tonight and give the Frank Ocean another spin. For now, though, let's ****ing rock
