As ever with Earle, though, this penchant for siphoning song from the sorest of wounds never feels at all indulgent or self-pitying. A thick vein of self-disgust, mind you, is evident throughout most every verse.

An excellent introduction to Country Music at its best 
When's the 2nd Volume, Alan? Hearing one of the finest voices in Country Music Which one of Suzy's CDs to choose as 'the best' ? If you've heard some songs by RF then I'm sure you've heard THE best ones Everything really about this album, there were only four good tracks . A brilliant, myth-shattering, Lazarus-like return. None. Jolly catchy tunes, clean character Album a little long perhaps Varied selection of styles, pace and arrangements, wrapped up in a great voice She's Canadian so probably no-one's ever heard of herDays Of Nothing - The Foreshadowing
Moving, varied, well executed, good songwriting ,vocals, and production Nothing stunningly original
Enter The Grave - Evile
good vocalist, riff-heavy, lyrics are pretty good for thrash lack of originality, imitation of their idols goes too far, perhaps.
De Occulta Philosophia - Blood of Kingu
Hugely atmospheric, well executed, interesting theme Album ends very abruptly, is quite short
Genocide - Yattering
Varied songwriting, solid production, nice riffs Silly intro/interlude taunts are unneccessary.
Given To The Rising - Neurosis
Heavy Metal - 2007
If Tomorrow Comes... - Maino
Generally strong A couple of weaker ones
Jeremih - Jeremih
Some big tunes Inconsistent
Leave A Whisper - Shinedown
