Qdoba Wins

For all those out there who favor Chipotle’s burrito over Qdoba’s there can be only one excuse: they’ve never tried Qdoba. In my opinion Qdoba’s masterpiece beats Chipotle’s in every way.

This album is unlike anything that you have ever listened to before. This genre might be completely foreign to your ears, but don't dismiss this album based solely on its electronic, indie, slasher-flick-inspired genre. If you give it a fair chance,...
