I had never heard the song Helter Skelter before, i like it though. It has heart, the vocals are way more raw than usual. it actually sounds like rock n roll. I respect that. but i would never even consider calling it 'heavy thrash'.
The song you suggested for me to listen to the the tournament thread, I'm Only Sleeping, I hate it. slow and boring, not what i look for in R&R. It screams 'HIPPIE!' to me. Thats what most of their stuff sounds like to me. If they wrote more songs like Helter Skelter, I'd dig em.
