While we have Philsov's attention,

You may already be aware of it, but I wasn't until now.

NEW INFECTED MUSHROOM ALBUM!

The Legend of the Black Shawarma

It's available on their website, to download, for $7.99

I'm about halfway through, and all I can say is that track 2, "Sa'eed," blew my fucking mind.

Already got it, friend

I read the track listings, and CRINGED when I saw track 4 featured Johnathan Davis (only thing that would've made me cringe more would be the guy from Nickelback), but it actually turned out ok.  But this album feels more like a... collection of songs than an album album.  I'm not really feeling a composite message with those one.  On my Infected Mushroom scale it's coming in rather low, but on my general music scale that's still pretty damn high :p

Also Saeed is my favorite track of the bunch!  It seems to echo "in front of me" a lot, but it's also far more active.

Actually now that I think about it an Infected Mushroom + Chad Krouger(?) song has some potential, in the mindfuck wtf-are-you-thinking meta kinda way.

Herbert the Pervert, Project 100 and Franks are all quite sick, too.

They almost feel like an updated blend of "None of This is Real" and the tracks of BP Empire--which, I might add, is my second favorite album below Supervisor.

I read somewhere that the guys described this new album as their way of returning to their "metal roots." It makes sense, in a things making sense sort of way.

I also think the reason Johnathan Davis fit in surprisingly well is because Dudev (or whoever) sings in a similar way. If they hadn't pointed it out, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

That particular track is kind of a let down compared to everything surrounding it, but the music video was entertaining. DJ VON DOUCHE!
