Conditions of My Parole tracklist & preview

Tom emailed me today a link to Amazon where you can preview the tracks from the upcoming Puscifer album Conditions of My Parole.  Each track has a 30 second preview, and for those who don’t feel like following the link, here’s the tracklist:

  1. Tiny Monsters
  2. Green Valley
  3. Monsoons
  4. Telling Ghosts
  5. Horizons
  6. Man Overboard
  7. Toma
  8. The Rapture (Fear Is a Mind Killa Mix)
  9. Conditions of My Parole
  10. The Weaver
  11. Oceans
  12. Tumbleweed

Enjoy! I also expect the tour dates for the Nov-Dec Puscifer shows will be released in the next week or so.

The Melvins Samples on Amazon

According to a recent Twitter post (Thanks to StubbaDub for the tip), Amazon has 30 second samples from each of the tracks on the forthcoming Melvins album The Bride Screamed Murder.  According to the site the tracklist should be:

  1. The Water Glass
  2. Evil New War God
  3. Pig House
  4. I’ll Finish You Off
  5. Electric Flower
  6. Hospital Up
  7. Inhumanity And Death
  8. My Generation
  9. P.G. x 3

I listened to them all, and they sound great to me.  While it is a little hard to tell with only 30 second clips, this sounds better than Nude With Boots to me.

Unleashed: The Story of “Tool”

Enok from Toolarmy messaged me today to tell me about a Tool book he found on Amazon.  Entitled Unleashed: The Story of Tool, the blurb tells us:

Tool are the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century. Far more than just a metal band, the California – based quartet of master – musicians – Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones – have taken the concept of heavy music and completely redefined it. The intricate complex music which they make shouldn’t be successful in today’s culture of bland, corporate entertainment, and yet Tool have been the recipients of three Grammy awards and a shelfload of gold and platinum discs. Their rise to glory has been one of the stranger tales of our time, and Joel McIver’s new biography – the first Tool book ever written – delves into the mystery behind the music. McIver discusses the band members’ early lives and pre-fame occupations, the introduction of the bandmembers to each other, their videos, EPs and tours and it features hundreds of interviews.

Sounds like an unauthorised biography to me.  Anyone own this and care to comment on it’s quality?
