You will get into the groove at the beginning of the album's tenth song, "Broken Down (But Not Locked Up)." You will notice the clean bass sound, the clear first-this-then-that introduction of the high-hat and the everpresent feedback whine. You will smoke a whole pack of cigarettes. This will make you feel really awful. You will think that the groove will save your soul, because that is usually what the groove does, but Eyehategod only grooves to coax your soul into showing its face, so that they can whack it over the head and sell it to some guy who says he's got a connection to some really raw shit from Lebanon or Laos or someplace like that. Vocalist Michael Williams, who reportedly has written a book and is looking for a publisher, will begin to scream. The mildly funky groove will rewrite itself into a very dark corner. Somewhere within a fifty-mile radius of where you are right now there's somebody about to go permanently off the deep end right this very second. Imagine that.   1 2 3 4 5 6 [next]
