Welcome
to THE SLUDGELORD’s November installment of the
666 Pack Review! As the weather continues to cool, we’re
turning up the heat every passing month with 6 more victims….errrr…newish bands
to review. 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 awesome holiday foods inspired rating
scale below:
1
– Do you know what Lutefisk is? Well, I
liken this band to it. It stinks and
it’s intolerable…
2
- Fruitcake. It’s almost ok to eat. This band?
It’s almost ok to listen to.
3
– No matter how you slice it (no pun intended), this band is average, just like
turkey.
4
– It’s not the pumpkin pie that does it for me, it’s the whipped cream. Yes, this band is sweet.
5
– Green bean casserole with toasted onions and mashed potatoes with gravy….mmmm…mmmmm! You see where
I’m going with this???
666!
– THE SLUDGELORD loves the tasty riffing, the sweet drumming
so much that he’s going back for seconds!
The
666 Pack Review
is meant to offer humorous criticism and is not meant to hurt feelings,
however, there are no safe spaces here. THE SLUDGELORD is a picky listener…and doesn’t care what
you think of his opinions….
We’re off to a poor
start…
