this is my first blog post
The goal here was to do a critical review of an album in 140-150 words.
I always felt a review was something that made want to buy it or not.
With this exercise, getting to the point was all you had room for. Forget the tomes about the this and that and completely unrelated metaphors to show off your clarity and clearly superior penmanship.
Grady’s frontman Gordie Johnson spares a few minutes and educates my sorry ass.
“Do you really all think that we’re doomed from the get-go and we suffer incessantly? Well, out here it’s sink or swim but the average just float amongst the waves and get carried away.”
The swamp, gators and bugs the size of your beercan. Bonfires made with pallets and waking up in the mud, thankful your girlfriend took your glasses earlier on in the night.
Besides the gators, the northern prairie has more in common with the Louisianan coastal wetlands then I want to admit.
But southern metal?
