Think back a couple of days, to when I mentioned that good things come in threes. Today I prove that they really do (honest!) as long as you're not in a hurry or anything.
I think you'll find this one worth the wait, because I certainly did. You should all know what a big Sevendust fan I am, and you should all also know by now (hopefully, or I'm not doing my job...) that Lajon and Company have a new record coming out in October. We got first single "Thank You" maybe a month or so ago, and now we've got sample number two.
"Not Today" is the kind of track that's going to appeal to all the old school Sevendust fans out there: it's 100% groove and syncopation, but still catchy. If the rest of Kill the Flaw sounds like this, it could be a rock-solid Sevendust record for the ages.

Tuesday: Earthside (feat. Lajon Witherspoon) - Mob Mentality
Back in May, I posted about the sweet cinematic prog of Connecticut's Earthside, but maybe you listened to"The Closest I've Come" and thought that something was missing. Something vocalish, maybe. Well, the band's most recent single should fill in the blank nicely, and it's your Tuesday song.
The extra puzzle piece here is a predictably killer vocal performance from none other than Sevendust's Lajon Witherspoon on Earthside's latest "Mob Mentality", and while I do wonder for a moment how Lajon ended up getting hooked up with Earthside, I'm definitely not complaining. Big, powerful prog plus a big, powerful voice equals a winning combination. The only downside here is that there's just a single track of said combo rather than a whole album. Something to think about guys?

Thursday: Sevendust - Licking Cream
Next up, for yesterday we're going with a blast from the past that came up on my shuffle recently and gave me a dose of nostalgia to concentrated to ignore.
Your Thursday song is "Licking Cream" from Sevendust's sophomore 1999 disc Home, a track that features Skin from Skunk Anansie delivering a vocal performance capable of sitting right there alongside Lajon's in terms of power and feeling. Aspiring female singers/musicians should take note: women in music don't need to sexualized to be capable of making an impact.
Add in the fact that I feel Sevendust is arguably one of the forefathers of djent (yes, you read that right) and you've got a little piece of history right here. Get edumuhcated right now.
