Rascall Flatts omg

Look at that lead singer, what a sex god. Also the lyrics about the girl dying from cancer are about as subtle as a brick.

actually, if you're looking for some sick hiphop, the new Finale joint, "A Pipe Dream and A Promise" is reallllly tight. Detroit sh*t, and tied for my favorite hip-hop record of the year. either jared or me will have a review out soon. i plan on reviewing the new del first, which is pretty decent.

Checkin out Finale now, Sobhi. Gotta check out that del review when you get done with that. I like the new album quite a bit, especially since it's free, but i've only had a chance to listen to it twice.

I'm interested to read about Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and whether I should be pissed that I can't acquire/find it.

That's what I've been trying to use. It'll take somewhere around (or more than) 2 hours and the connection "times out" long before then. Which is why I need a torrent.

i like the new format but i want official quotes back, and the subgenres pages back to those were cool.

It also seems like to soundoff you have to go to the bottom of the review page and click the soundoff button, rather than making your rating and clicking the "explain my rating" box. That page just brings up an error
