I am generally satisfied with my coverage, but I typically don't stray too far off the beaten path (i.e., asphalt). It's fairly expensive ($80 a month), but any smart phone plan with data is comparable.

But on a per unit basis it is far superior. I hate paying money to GCI, but it's really the only option if you want quality streaming. As for running out of bandwidth, that only happened to me when I decided to download and install EVERY game I owned on steam on the new computer. If you only stream, you don't have to go all the way to $134, the $85 should cut it. Plus you can always upgrade or buy additional bandwidth if you need it - they actually are nice about informing you of your caps rather than just straight charging you (FUCK YOU AT&T).

The first time I came up, I drove around and then noticed a bunch of broken eggs in the back of the cart... because the pseudo-feral chickens had been using it as a nest! I felt kind of bad, but washed out the egg gunk and didn't think too much about it. Flash forward to the next time I come up, about a week later. Driving around again, and look back: MORE EGGS. These chickens apparently like the METAL bed, which has to get like 100+F in direct sunlight. Oh well, minor chicken murder. Flash forward to today, I'm cruising around the island doing the WWII battle tour (pretty interesting). I stop near the radars to read a sign and see this PACK of chickens hauling ass towards me (note: chickens running is just terrifying and hilarious). The gather around me, assuming I'm going to feed them - no payback, luckily. But the juveniles start looking at my sandled feet... and then start pecking. I little have to run away from juvenile chickens, it was hilarious and a little bit of karma I suppose. They're definitely my favorite non-indigenous animal out here. I may feed them and get a video, because it's gonna be like feeding the sharks I imagine. Scrotor@idkfa.com (Scrotor) Look down, look down...

I came in with some expectations due to high praise for this band across the interwebs, but the songs still managed to impress me. Both softer and more brutal than I expected, all of the disparate styles (of metal, plus prog rock) flow pretty seamlessly as each song progresses. An incredible independent debut. Great use of 8-string guitars as well! 4.5/5 - Exceptional metal EP, although not quite perfect (the second song, The Mountain Top, does interesting things with screaming vox but doesn't necessarily improve the listening experience IMHO). So much promise. They've since released a full length, can't wait to give it a listen.

All in all, not a bad album, there are some catchy tunes, but man the album falls apart after the first four songs (which are all excellent, and, yes, singles). I would compare this album to eating a lot of mass produced candy: it tastes great at the onset, but you realize too late you've eaten 4 servings and have a stomach ache. Also, much like Hershey's, they use weird ingredients to make the chocolate smooth in the form of samples and whatnot... which make many of the tunes catchier but do not hold up on repeated listens. 2.5/5 - OK, nothing special elevates this from normal radio music. No better, no worse. At least it's not Nickelback.

Interesting independent release from Hungary, progressive death metal with female soprano vox. Overall, an enjoyable listen, but pretty derivative - you can certainly hear that these guys are fans of Opeth and Dream Theater. Could have used a little more editing. 3.0/5 - Good album, definitely back-loaded (not a fan of the first couple of tracks).

Although titled Language, the lyrics were (ironically) not included with the CD and are pretty symbolic. But, after researching them online and listening to the album a bazillion times, I finally understand the concept and my mind was kind of blown. It's summarized in spoken word (apparently by a man named Allan Waits) at the end of the album: "In other words, the so-called involuntary circulation of your blood is one continuous process with the stars shining. If you find out it's YOU who circulates your blood, you will at the same moment find out that you are shining the sun. Because your physical organism is one continuous process with everything else that's going on. Just as the waves are continuous with the ocean. Your body is continuous with the total energy system of the cosmos, and it's all you. Only you're playing the game that you're only this bit of it." You are the language... OF THE COSMOS, trying to understand itself. Being a materialistic in denial (because it's just too depressing), this concept is fascinating to me. But besides the lyrical content, what about the music? Here the album falls a little short, because I feel like it doesn't completely match the concept. The idea of ebb and flow is persistent in the lyrics, but doesn't translate well to the music because nothing repeats, like, ever. On the entire album. I feel like some sort of ebb and flow in musical motifs would have been helpful to convey the message a bit better. That being said... the compositions are amazing, if altogether a bit too meandering. It also contributes to making this album pretty impenetrable until at least half a dozen listens. 3.5/5 - Very good. Love the lyrical concept, wished the music matched it a bit better. The compositions are amazing in a vacuum, but are too meandering too completely stick with you.

RTJ and RTJ2 are just both SO GOOD. Because of this, I wanted to go back and see each of these artists prior to their collaboration. I found out that they had met each other while doing El-P's Cancer 4 Cure album (and also because El-P produced Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music, which I also own). So of course I went and got it. This is a pretty dark album. Apparently El-P described it as "fight music abstracted"... and it certainly does have a sort of slow burning anger surrounding it, like there is a mob just on the outside of the soundstage ready to burst in. It was also apparently recorded as an homage to a friend of his who died of cancer a few years prior to the recording. In any case, whatever sad muse it might be, this album is pretty awesome, and a solid precursor to Run the Jewels. In fact, many of the songs have proto-beats found on RTJ and RTJ2. 3.5/5 - Very good hip hop album. Nowhere near RTJ or RTJ2, but still a solid listen from front to back.

It's certainly well done for the subgenre (orchestral melodic blackened death metal, since I love playing the metal subgenre game), but it brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It's the perfect blend of Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, and a more modern metal approach, but it is not as accomplished as any of those individual elements. The lyrics are definitely grim enough, but each song ends up kind of sounding the same, there is just very little variety to the approach. The upside is that I got this album for super cheap in some bundle... I'm such a music junky, that's how I roll son! 2.5/5 - Just OK. While I enjoyed it to a certain extent, and the production is generally pretty good, I just don't see any reason to really come back to this album. Solid but forgettable.

This album is by far their most technical, with tight, short songs that flop around like a dying animal in the jaws of a cougar on a mountainside. 4.0/5 - Great, but a tad inaccessible to really achieve total greatness (like Leviathan or Crack the Skye). Also, the concept (dying on a mountain) makes the lyrics a bit too trippy for my tastes.

I don't know when, but a CD showed up at my house one day and it turned out to be this. Thus is how most of my kickstarter rewards go. Anyways, I love unique metal interpretations. In this case, black metal combined with bluegrass, which has the awesome genre tag of blackgrass (blue metal just doesn't have the same jingle jangle). Thus, I expected to get banjo leads of black metal rasping vocals and blastbeats. However, the album doesn't play out like that, really, at all. Instead, you have a fairly good bluegrass-y baseline with blackened death metal interjections (and a healthy dose of Gothenburg riffage). More often then not, the parts aren't integrated, and it makes for something more akin to an early Opeth album than a progressive amalgamation of the two styles. I mean, of course it is a concept album (about a guy killing his wife and unborn child after being corrupted by Satan, and then fighting the village, and then he battles Satan for redemption... I mean, it's metal, come on). However, the last track truly starts to combine the two styles, and it is pretty great; plus, it is an epic in every sense of the word, since it's over 14 minutes long! Great capper, and the album builds to a pretty sweet culmination before the acoustic outro kicks in to cleanse the palate. 3.0/5 - It's good, especially for a cheap kickstarter project (I know the creators made no money off of this thing, since you can download it for free now!). The finale is truly impressive with the blending of styles, but the rest of the album doesn't quite get there. Still a worthwhile listen if you like some metal, and some bluegrass, and want some peanut butter in your chocolate.
