This
year is turning out to be an interesting one indeed. A plague has crippled the world, protests and
riots have been commonplace lately and there’s a meteor on a collision course
for earth….err…I made that last one up.
But hey! All of this sounds like
fodder for lyrical material for eons to come.
THE
SLUDGELORD expects to see a lot of doom and gloom when you email
your tunes to us for this monthly column.
So, if you’re new to this, each and every month we handpick 6 review
submissions and critique them by only using 6 words, then we rate them on a
scale from 1
to 666! Check out our “the end of the world” rating
scale below:
1 – The end is
now. At least for you.
2 – Go find and
climb into a bomb shelter soon. Not to
save yourself, but to practice a whole bunch more.
3 – The law of
averages says that you’ll be the same after all this shakes out…
4 – You can take
off that mask and put down that sign.
Things are looking up for this band.
5 – Even rubber
bullets and a high fever can’t stop you.
Get out there and play…. when venues open up that is.
666 – THE SLUDGELORD
does not fret when the world is coming to an end. THE SLUDGELORD only listens when the score is
666!
Caveat: Even though the “666 Pack Review” is meant to offer humorous critique, there are no
safe spaces here and your gripes will only make you sound like a bellyacher. The Sludgelord is a picky listener…and
doesn’t care what you think of his opinions….
