Glassjaw- Worship and Tribute

I just got back from a run and it is my second of the day. This was a late night job but for sure necessary.
I was given this record as a gift from the bands merch girl while working for Plea For Peace on the 2003 warped tour. To be honest when I first heard the band I didnt really dig it, warped tour had so many fucking bands that were very similar so the only thing I took from hearing there live show was that it was different. As the days went on they ended up being one of my favorite bands on the tour.
The First time heard Worship and Tribute was while driving our driver of the tour Middagh to a motel in Florida for him to get some sleep. The record went by in a flash and all i could really remember was the sample (or what i think is a sample) in the middle of the record. I would not re-listen to the record until the tours closure in the end of August.
I was into Ska and hardcore, and the idea of me listening to a Metal band was quite out of character to my friends. I can remember getting into the car with my friend carlos on my first day back from tour. I gave Carlos a Glassjaw hat and sweater. I gave it to carlos because we were both into streetwear in high school and I felt that for "band merch" this band was way a head of their game. The shirts had fucking brains and that is saying something for the caliber of vans warped tour design. Carlos never wore the gear, or at least I dont think he did, but I did play him worship and tribute. When it came on the speakers of my subaru station wagon it was very load and was turned down. Carlos wasnt really into the gear or the music, but oh well its all good, taste is taste.
I can't tell you ,more than this . I listen to this record at least once a month and the fucker has never gotten old in my ears. The band is dope , there shirts are dope, and there music is dope. It has been a major influence on me and my music , and me and me character.
