Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Crowbar - Odd Fellows Rest (1998)

If you've heard Crowbar before, then you know what you are getting here, it's NOLA sludge metal, and I would echo what I wrote in my review of Symmetry in Black. Crowbar write slow impossibly hefty riffs and sing about dealing with lows in life. The formula is incredibly consistent, and it's sublime music for weight lifting. This album is notable for containing "Planets Collide" which is considered by many to be the bands best song to date. However, for me it's all about "To Carry the Load". "...And Suffer as One", "It's all in the Gravity", and "New Man Born" are also bangers, but every track is great. Put this on when you need to get through some hard times, or just simply beat your current bench press max!
