Comments on: SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: HOW CAVE IN BECAME ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE AND OVERLOOKED BANDS ON THE PLANET http://www.metalsucks.net/2008/02/03/sunday-spotlight-how-cave-in-became-one-of-the-most-creative-and-overlooked-bands-on-the-planet/ Your source for heavy metal news, gossip, MP3s, and assorted idiocy.

It's awesome to see good music sites writing about good music for a change. The first Cave In song I heard was "Jupiter." I lost it, but couldn't find out the name of the band when I heard it. Then I heard "Devil's Head Piñata" and I got ahold of the band's name. When I heard those songs I flipped. Those songs (and the albums I bought shortly thereafter) changed everything I thought I knew about music. Just as a heads up; I don't think the guys would mind if I tell you that you can find a couple "harder to find" Cave In songs floating around in mp3 land on the web. Go to hypem.com and you'll be able to find "Inflatable Dream" (which I had heard about but couldn't find for a while). Also, go to http://besttuna.blogspot.com/2007/10/devils-words-of-wisdom-in-nme.html for Cave In covering "Dazed and Confused." The bunch o' beer I'll be drinking tonight will be offered up in the hopes of invoking a Cave In release in the near future. Once again, great write-up. Just a quick comment: excellent article.
