  Flotsam and jetsam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a technical difference between the two: jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea (jettisoned) by the crew of a ship, usually in order to lighten it in an emergency; while flotsam describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck.
The differences among flotsam, jetsam, and ligan are occasionally of consequence in the law of admiralty and marine salvage.
Flotsam and Jetsam were also the names of the eels that served Ursula, the sea witch, in Disney's The Little Mermaid.

The band Flotsam and Jetsam is a band that falls into this category.
It is due to these reasons that I think Flotsam and Jetsam are the best metal band on the scene today and they definitely deserve more recognition than they get.
Flotsam may have lost a good bassist, but they also got the chance to work with two talented musicians (not that the other guys aren't talented :}).

Doomsday for the Deceiver ~ Flotsam & Jetsam
For the rest of us, Flotsam & Jetsam remains one of the most underrated acts in metal over the past decade or two, and 1992's "Cuatro" is another overlooked metal masterpiece from the 90's that really went unnoticed, just like the band themselves.
For me, the albums you MUST HAVE from Flotsam and Jetsam are Doomsday for the Deceiver, When the Storm Comes Down, Cuatro, and High.

Goods that remain floating on the surface after a shipwreck or accident are called flotsam (or floatsam or flotsan), while jetsam refers to goods thrown overboard, or jettisoned (see jettison), by a vessel in distress.
Ligan (or lagan) designates goods that are sunk in the sea and have a buoy or floating object attached to them as a mark of ownership or in order that they may be found again.
Such goods found by other persons must be returned to the owner, while flotsam and jetsam must be returned only if the owner makes a proper claim.

 No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Flotsam & Jetsam
I have always held that their first two discs are classics, but this band will never be able to get out from under the shadow of Jason Newsted who left the band after their first album to join Metallica.
I had read that Erik A.K. had left the band, although Flots were continuing to tour for this disc with Helstar/Destiny's End vocalist James Rivera filling in.
I mean, if you like Flotsam, and you've enjoyed any of their more recent albums, this one should also please fans.
