I would have downloaded it otherwise to give it a shot, but I've heard most of their stuff.

On another note, I noticed no one seemed to download my Thrice mix, according to megaupload...I spent a ****load of time on that, especially the whole writeup of the history of the band and such and the others I plan to upload soon, so I'm wondering if anyone checked it out or plans to - because as much as I love making mixes, I don't think I wanna keep spending big chunks of time on something no one's listening to.

again, the ones I mainly planned on putting up soon are Essential Smashing Pumpkins, Beginner guide to real Emo, Guide to Hum, Guide to Shoegaze, Guide to Catherine Wheel, and possibly a Guided By Voices mix that focus on more than just their lo-fi indie days. If any of you are still interested in any of those, let me know. Otherwise I'll just do the ones that were requested
Between the Buried and Me is a band that only suits people who enjoy a wide variety of music (including extreme metal), but are incredibly talented at whatever they do.

As far as your Thrice comp goes, I would DL it, if I didn't already own every album of theirs (except Identity Crisis, because it blows big time). Great choice of band though. Nice to see Thrice love on MB these days.
