When I listened to the original list's Death In Vegas album, I was like: "Did we actually need this on the list?" then never thought about that album ever again. But apparently someone out there saw that and was like: "Hell no. We need TWO Death In Vegas albums on this list!" That's not a dig, I think that's really cool. Just goes to show how diverse music tastes are and that every album, no matter how forgettable it might be to me personally, is someone's favorite. Dudes rock. That being said, this shit kinda boring.

On the official list's Death In Vegas selection I mentioned how much I liked it and should listen to more from this group. Here's my chance and, as I expected, I really liked this! Long double album but it was great to groove along to. Liked the guitar work in a lot of the songs.
