It's a great albm Shea, you can't go wrong with it!!! Tell me about Minus the Bear....I've never heard any of their stuff but I think they'd be right up my alley (from what other people have said about them)
I'm going to be really bad and just put up some songs myself:
Lotus
That's the last track off of Planet of Ice. It's immeasurably darker compared to their past stuff, but that was the one that caught my attention first when I listened to this one.
Burying Luck
The first track off of Planet of Ice, which is a lot more upbeat and more like the rest of the songs on the CD, though not nearly as upbeat as their older stuff.
Absinthe Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse
This is most likely the song they were originally known for. It's in their old style with no shortage of two handed tapping abuse, and seemingly not-so-serious lyrics and subject matter that revolves almost exclusively around drinking and sex, aka ROCK AND ROLL.
If you like that stuff, there's a good chance you'd like all of their CDs all the way through. If you don't like it, you have no chance to survive make your time.

The main guy used to be in the metalcore band Botch, but this band sounds nothing like that.
I dunno, it's funny to listen back on Botch now and hear where the MTB in him tried to get out. There's a ridiculously MTB-esque part in the middle of "C. Thomas Howell As The Soul Man" on We Are The Romans, and of course, he can't seem to stop himself from doing tons of guitar parts at once and mixing up all the time signatures. Some dissonant stuff even pokes its head up in MTB every once in a while.
