Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dr. Average	#1 by Dr. Funkinstein at Jun 5, 1974 at 1:10 PM EST
	this song is really so amazing.. leach had probably the best voice and vocal melodies ever to grade a hardcore band. howard's cool too.. but the new material just feels way too studio produced and boring, not anywhere near the beauty ofo the first album. and this song.. this song is just amazing. blehh!!

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#2 by Chris Pray at Sep 13, 1994 at 2:08 AM EST
	grace** not grade. i'm an idiot.

No Picture Jake Average	#3 by Jake Staley at Mar 2, 2002 at 5:14 PM EST
	I love the melodies & screaming. This song is awesome. I like how it fades out but you can still hear the vocals all hypnotic in the background. Leaves the song with a nice phrase repeated.
