01.17.16 | because the thing this site needed was totally another best of 2015 list
but fuck it, gotta do 'em each year, ya know? | Calc
01.17.16 | what do you mean by a career in the making? | ashcrash9
01.17.16 | their best Act yet by a longshot, made better because of the band's recent non-Act sonic explorations and the refinement The Color Spectrum, Migrant, and Casey's symphony offered them. | Artuma
01.17.16 | hmm 52 looks kinda familiar | ashcrash9
01.17.16 | I'd hope so! Haunt Me is great. I had that photo lying around and it sounded like it fit the music, so I went all the way with the reference. | p4p
