Strung Out - “Too Close to See”

When I was in my teens, I idolized my brother’s taste in music.  So of course, I used to be HUGE into speed-punk and skate-punk.  Apparently I also thought it was ok to rip CDs at 128kbps back in ‘99.  D’oh.

But yes: to this day, I still maintain that Strung Out was the best at this whole style, although they’ve gone more metal these days.

Quick Fact: Hear those guitars going INSANELY FAST right before the bridge?  That section was one of the things that really pushed me to start pursuing music more seriously.
