It's funny / sad to me to think of how many new bands have totally copped this sound, and are making way more money than Entombed ever have - worst part of all is that most of the kids these days don't realize this. Hopefully, they will be smart & go back to check out the originators of the Swedish Death Metal Sound, ya know? (Sometimes the internet ruins everything).
This record is 22 fucking years old now, & it still shreds giant hairy rhino balls all fuckin' day.
Swedish Death Metal that set the standard - FUCK YEAH!!!
An excellent quality - and highly entertaining - live recording from back in the day from a man who will never be equaled in terms of writing and such. The man left us with a wealth of peculiar, eceentric, and right-fucking-on insights on life, the status quo, counter-culture, politcs, America, drugs, war, the law, rock 'n roll, and literally left this weathered pebble of ours with a bang.
I doubt I have to explain any of this to you...
Not the typical L-R V post, but The Good Doctor was on to something far more real and over-the-top than most of what gets posted here, so he does in fact deserve high honors, per se' so let's welcome him into the fold, shall we?

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO MY BEST FRIEND, RANDY HELLA WHO PASSED LAST NIGHT AFTER 15 KICK-ASS HUMAN YEARS AT MY SIDE.
DUDE WAS WITH ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS. DUDE WAS WITH ME WHEN I WASN'T WITH MYSELF. DUDE WAS MY SON'S BEST FRIEND. DUDE I MISS YOU ALREADY.
One band that I'm a total sucker for is Entombed. Not every one of their records is a winner, but I do count them in my perennial favorites. 1997's "To Ride Hard, Shoot Straight, and Speak The Truth" has always been there for me on many levels throughout the good and the bad. I only wish it had a thicker mix...
