    nice call with the Black Album. Can't really complain about any of those pics...

    Because the best songs on the album are overshadowed by the mainstream releases, which were very solid, too. But "Jesus of Suburbia" and "Homecoming" were brilliantly written songs which no other band in that genre would attempt to do anymore -- the five-part organism. I can't remember a punk band doing something like that since NOFX wrote "The Decline," the 18-minute, 24-second epic, in 1999. And it'll be a long time until a band releases something as powerful and unique as "American Idiot."

    "The Black Album" was a solid album had a little bit of everything that was needed and had excellent production. Rick Rubin is a musical monster.

    Rick Rubin is like the DaVinci of the music business. I think he'll be remembered in the future as a total icon, though he gets credit now. Nowhere near what he deserves though...
