You can listen to The Dagger here (unmastered version). Commented Flynn:

\"We rehearsed and recorded the songs in a week and a half, and I want to give a special shout-out to [drummer] Andols [Herrick] for being the burger-worshipping, drum-part-writing-out, saving the day super-slayer! He wrote all of his drum parts out in drum-ese (drum-erican, drum-ish, drum-adian) and ate burgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every day for 3 days...Fuck Yeah!\"

The full-length release, in stores on October 11, 2005, is a \"master class\" in hard rock/metal. Boasting 57 artists from 45 of Roadrunner\'s past and present bands, the album will contain original tracks that are collaborations between numerous Roadrunner stars.
