I'll admit the last Destruction, was pretty by the numbers stuff. A few decent tunes throughout, but overall a forgettable album. But D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. was awesome. Inventor of Evil was decent, Metal Discharge was blah, The Antichrist another classic, and All
Hell Breaks Loose was nice when I first heard it, but hasn't aged too well. So really, I'm not that hugely a fan of their new stuff either. But when they are on, they fuckin thrash with the best of them. I think my love for them is the fact that their 80s output is top 5 all time for me and I've seen them live more than any other band. Met Schmier a few times too.
New Sodom is just too melodic for me. Same problem I have with new Kreator, but at last Kreator can keep that aggressive edge to them. Sodom just sound like old dudes trying to keep up. Which is cool because every new album at least has some killer tunes on there. But no way can I do one of the 2 newest beginning to end. Especially the new one. That fucking poetry song is garbage.
