Great pick, wow this one is a cezanne!!! Mush, big man, mush..... you think of the 80's as speedy and there are still versions that make even tour hounds of those days go shit dude... Blistering!!! you can basically see their jaws grinding on this one it goes blood diamond mine deep. lesh and brent get tones going in a creepy way as the others go apeshit Tippy top.
