Notes from the Ballpark

So, after attending my first Texas Rangers game (and plan on seeing my second one today), I have some observations to share:

-The future Dallas Cowboys stadium looks like the space station in Contact.

-Dollar Hot Dog Night + high winds = lots of hotdog wrappers flying around the outfield.
-Amount of time between leaving the game and getting back on I-30: ten minutes.

The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats.

I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
