of the ever awesome Wantage USA label.

As long as they leave the White Hats at home (TA!), Trans Am generally bring it.

The last one didn't wow me, but the rest of the albums are such a badass melange of awesome stuff that it just manages to work.

So there's a Waffle Factor but:
NOT CRAP!

I like Trans Am, NOT CRAP, but they should have taken that Range Rover money. Get that paper!

Having attended a number of Tool shows, this happens to just about EVERY opener they tour with.

Isis? Booed.
Meshuggah? Booed.
Tomahawk? Booed.
Melt Banana? Booed.

I predict Trans Am will get a similar treatment, although they will undoubtedly garner more acclaim simply by being on the tour.

I'm jealous of their success...

...and their drummer.

not crap. some waffles.

i love the surveillance through TA. liberation lost me, i don't like how they became vocally political. i preferred them being kinda mysterious; my not knowing exactly what they were on about.

haven't heard sex change yet.

is it me or is the drummer really incredible? he just sounds like a fucking amazing drummer.

No, he's pretty much incredible.

Sex Change is great. Their first two records are still the best though.

I wonder how Russian Circles were received, they just did the last UK Tool tour.
