I like mushrooms. They go great on pizza, in some pasta (shitaki), or for other purposes. But, to be lord of mushrooms you must really love 'em. Or at least love sounding like a sissy version of a grunge band crossed with some really bad 80's jam band. Did I mention the worst sounding clean toned guitar sound ever? Sounds like CHRISTOPHER CROSS doing "Sailing". It has some moments. The guy's voice is great - just crystal clear and powerful aside from when he does that annoying warble. The musicians are skilled but I don't take drugs enough to appreciate this. By the way, it's really annoying when bands have to reference drugs in their band name. Weak.

This keeps reminding me of the 80's. I keep hearing HALL & OATES, later YES, Phil Collins era-GENESIS, etc. under the prog metal chug riffing. Did I mention the songs go on way too long? You don't need to revisit a lengthy theme in a song more than once. It's boring for the listener. The batteries just died in my discman. Thank God. I can't take a minute more. My neck is sore from leaning over this thing, I have the worst computer posture and to make things worst my desk doesn't have enough desk so my wrists are always in that crippling carpal tunnel position they warned me about. Regardless, if you are interested in stuff like THE POLYPHONIC SPREE and all the other stuff I mentioned maybe you'll care? My interest is not tweaked regardless.
