    It was impossible to just choose two songs off of each record so plz don't be like "Oh bUt WhAt AbOuT bLaBbY bLaH"...
    I absolutely love this band with all of my careless heart.

      man, i can't believe you skipped bLaBbY bLaH! that's my favorite song by TAS!
      but in all seriousness, perfect choices for the songs in my opinion

    Andrew, I can’t thank you and Johnny enough for doing this, as there are many things wrong with their tabs, and there’s not enough of their songs tabbed. Since Johnny loves TAS so much, if he’s down, I could use his expertise to get the rest tabbed 😉

    I was so excited when you started playing Time & Death & God and then when you got to the drop it ended :-( Anyway this band has led me to all the sludge I listen to now and was lucky enough to meet DL at a baby shower which is crazy. Anyway most exciting guitar evolution yet!!!!

    @iancaulk5537 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good selections! A few of these were my favorites from each album! (CRTS from life is very long; beast from wormwood; and bitter pill from gravebloom!) I dunno whether to say that Skynet is my favorite off of continent cuz I like a few other songs practically almost or equally as much, but it do be one of the best on said album. Whoa shut it down is an awsum song and goes hard...I wish, however, that you did burnface instead, since that's my favorite off the dead walk (which is my favorite album actually). But that's a'ight. You guys were amazing, and I enjoyed this video!

    This was incredible thanks guys! The Acacia Strain has been my favorite band since I first heard them when I was 13, 11 years ago. I share the same love for the ongoing progression of the band's musicality, conceptually poetic lyrics, and aggression they deliver with each new album. Keep this shit up!
