Oh yeah. I previewed Flyleaf's new album and it fucking kicked ass. But there was like 4 songs I did not listen to so I could not fairly rate it yet.

I really love what they did with this is War by using people's pictures for album art. That is just amazing. I've only heard "Kings and Queens" by them so I can't decide on them yet too. But thank you I do plan on checking them out.

I did check out "Them Twisted Vultures" and they really did kick ass. If I were to re-do my list they would definitely be in the top 5.

THIS IS IT , The KING MICHAEL JACKSON

I really hope that's a joke.

The only "new" song on there was awful, plagiarized and aside from that, it was just a live document of how bad his music was after about 1989.
