This album kicks ass. Their best one yet. I would highly recommend it to anyone who truly loves heavy metal. There is no fake kid shit here.

Better than the World Series, Desmond Kensel pounded a homerun in Boston at the Underground. Rain and old weather did not keep the public wanting to see HighonFire! The line of people would not leave after the full sign came on. The vibrations of Desmond's Drums could be heard over MIT campus that night! E=mc2 was the message pounded on the drums that dark and dreary night and student just echoed in their dorms the beat on their desks at 11:00PM. The Soundcraft K2 mixing board only reinforced what everyone could hear in Boston - -Fenway park was quiet that night, but the dull and rentless sound of the raindrops acted as background music to Desi's drums. The humidity was perfect too since a drought had come to an end and Desi's drums only echoed in Boston at 472 Massachuestts Ave.

Holy crap. Their best so far, in my ears. Album of the year - along with Om's Pilgrimage, I expect. Sleep still rules, by proxy.

HOF get better and more refined with time. All of their albums are mind blowing. This one, however is their masterpiece. The best riffs since classic Black Sabbath, bar none. Add elements of Celtic Frost, Motorhead(most notably on the old school thrasher "Rumors of War'') and Slayer. Matt Pike has outdone himself as the stoner metal god of the riff.This trio could very well be the best metal band on the planet.

Uhh...if you actually *read* the part of the website that talks about the formula, you'll see that all scores are moved away from the average to increase the spread. Some people, you know, actually do research before they act like dicks about something.
