Today is a very special day around our house, it is Ezra's 8th birthday. In honor of this momentous occasion I have decided to hand the reins over to him to write about any music-related topic he wishes. Ezra chose to write about his five favorite album covers. Happy Birthday, little man.
I like the Iron Maiden cover because it's like Eddie right outside your window and he is hovering over you.
I like the Butchered At Birth cover cause it's gory and R rated
Unleashed In The East is a good cover cause they're clothes are weird and they're rockin' out in steam..
I like Dealing With It by D.R.I because they're fighting with happy faces on TV and they're destroying the house.
Storm of the Light's Bane is a very good cover. It's like doom man on a doom horse in doom land.

Good comments all - I couldn't have put Dissection better myself.
Have a good birthday, sweet little man! It's wonderful to see that you like this good music already.
JUDAS FUCKING PRIEST!
That's so awesome! Go Ezra!!!!!
hahaha, i remember, when i was 9yrs old, my father turned me into heavy metal realm with Judas Priest's "Turbo". The cover was insanely great.
happy birthday to your son, Aesop!
you seems to be a great dad ;)
Probably the best Iron Maiden cover art. Rock on, kid.
Wish him a happy birthday from Australia!
:)
Excellent taste, buddy!
I would've chosen "grim" as my adjective for the Dissection album, but otherwise spot on.
happy birthday little dude....the coolest 8 year old i've probably ever seen. all those covers are great.
let your son post some more stuff!
Better taste in music than most people I've ever known.
This is the greatest.
Happy Birthday Ezra!!!! You obviously ROCK!!! Have a good one kiddo...
whoa i have the same birthday. also this is fucking adorable.
best post ever. Happy B-day big man! 8 yr's already? whoa.
this kid knows his stuff! i might have to subscribe to HIS blog now!
Ezra has got the coolest Dad. My parents' heads would explode if they ever saw the Butchered at Birth cover, much less let me see it as a child. Of course I had the CD back in the mid 90s.
Happy Birthday Ezra!
excellent :)
happy birthday dude :)
priceless observations...! wish all our eyes could see things so clearly.
haha fantastic - i especially love the comment on the DRI record...
happy birthday, man!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EZRA! hope your dad buys you some cool cd's!
I got him the Iron Maiden Flight 666 soundtrack.
Kid, you are some kind of awesome. Happy Birthday from some random idiot on the internet!
What a great post. It's all about rocking out in steam. Happy birthday!
doomland! perfect! Happy Birthday!
Doom.
Destroying.
Rockin' out in steam.
Gory and R rated.
Eddie.
Good vocabulary; has all the basics!
Always felt the same way about the Iron Maiden cover. Happy Birthday, dude.
What will he have left to listen to when he turns into a rebellious teenager though??? ;-)
Great taste! You are a great dad!
great post - happy birthday dude!
"Rockin' out in steam" I see a shrewd family tendency to get right to the meat of things, I think you two should do a reprise of one liner movie reviews! Happy birthday Ezra!
JoeP
Happy Birthday buddy! When are we going to rock out? Wanna come see our chickens?
Love, Dee Dee (Your Post Modern Mary Poppins)
So, when do I tell my four year what Judas Priest and Rob Halford are REALLY about...
You know what I mean...
Awesome showmanship and superior heavy metal riffage of course.
His top 5 this should be a monthly thing...
Right on Happy Birthday Ezra!
AWESOME!!! Happy Birthday Lil Guy!

Like father, like son! ;)

Awesome choice, a lad after my own heart! Happy birthday Ezra!

Happy birthday, Ezra! This put the biggest smile on my face.

Happy Birthday, Ezra. Awesome post, some nice choices! That's one badass metal kid you got there Aesop!
Man, on my 9th birthday i was listening to Kriss Kross and Hammer. Clearly this kid is light years ahead. Happy Birthday.
Bad ass, little dude. Tell your dad it wouldn't be illegal for you to dig on the Scorp's VK cover. [joking]
i just read part of this outloud to the wife. we both laughed pretty gosh darn hard. thanks for that. happy bday mystery music boy.
You nailed it on the Priest and Storm of Light's Bane covers. Awesome assessment.
Happy Birthday, E-Man.

One day before my birthday (today)! I hope Ezra gets that doompony for which every young man hopes (myself very much included).
That's one rad little kid. Makes me see a little hope for the future. Cool skateboard shelves, also. (Late)Happy Birthday to Ezra.
Awesome! Happy birthday from New York!
awsomeness.. my mom freaked when she heard me listening to 'Butchered At Birth' I was in 7th grade or so... I'll let my little one hear it... maybe. freakyagent666
I think Ezra should post more often, he rules.
Well done!
i hope to see more posts by you ezra!
Ezra is kicking around the idea of starting his own blog.
Happy birthday Ezra and thanks for the entertaining cover reviews! I can already tell you are smarter than most bloggers out there, and if you had your own blog I'd totally read it.
stupid name...
your kid is cool!!!
cheers
happy late birthday, ezra!
you and your dad are totally rad. i hope that didn't sound cheesy... haha
aww good job little dude!
Hahaha!! Excellent and poetic and beautiful! Who's that guy who's going to name his band Doom Man on a Doom Horse in Doom Land? I'm going to fight him for it!!! To the dearth!! Happy Birthday, Ezra!!!! Love, Janis
But isn't Butchered at Birth rated Aaaaaarrrrrr!?
wow, the CD vs. LP Maiden covers are so different.
but I agree with most : more killer album artwork review from Ezra.
I can't wait until my boy is old enough to vocalize what he thinks about my collection's album covers. Good picks!
Ha! Awesome. He has great taste.
super cool
and a late late late
happy birthday to your son
your son is so damn cool. i wish i had had a dad like you. my dad is a hippie. lol
Great stuff, Rock Jack!
A late Happy B-Day EZ !!!
I think you ought to do a Top 5 or 10 Maiden Songs next.
Would be an interesting perspective, for sure.
To the coolest dad and kid combo in blogland.
SubHuman
Dude. This rules.
