The 26th Best Album of the 00s: Probot - "S/t" (2004)


I haven't been able to continue my awesome countdown for a couple of days, because Mediafire was down due to maintenence. But now they're back up and running again, and so am I.

By the way, have y'all heard the new Killing Joke album? Holy fuck. Go get that one.

Anywho, onto today's topic: Probot. Actually, the Mediafire shutdown wasn't the only reason it's taken me four long days to post this entry. The main reason is I don't know what to say about this album.

I mean, everyone knows the story of Dave Grohl deciding to go back to his punk and metal roots and creating this one-off side project as an excuse to work with his childhood heroes. Like Lemmy, Snake from Voivod (whose drummer Away also made the album cover) Max Cavalera, Tom G Warrior, King Diamond, etc.

There's nothing new to add to the story, and I don't even have any personal stories to tell about the album. I'm at a complete loss for words. I bought it when it came out and I liked it a lot because it's really good. That's about it. The Tom G Warrior track blows though, I always skip that one.

Any loyal reader of this blog should know I dig this album, as I've included tracks from it on my Friday mp3 mixes several times.

So yeah, it's a really good album. Get it.
