Great review man. I like some of the songs you thought were a little weaker but that's just a small matter of taste/opinion. I would also rate it higher, in the 90s somwhere probably. Not sure exactly how high though.

83 sounds about right to me. They can do better. I dig the album tho.

The processed vocals are terrible.

Machine did do a little too much experimenting with the vocals, I'll agree.

However, you're being WAY too hard on this album as a whole.

Damn, I just noticed your score. This album sounds so much like Killswitch Engage, you were right. :rolleyes:

Haha. No, it doesn't sound like KsE, but it's not far off. But we've been over this, right? :wink: I will say that the album would be much better with some good vocals.

I loved Redneck, and it's not even a "killer song" in the review, so I'm gonna give a try to this one for sure, It seems to be a cool album.

Uhh...okay.

I don't always do song by song descriptions, but in this case, it seems apt. I mean, what can I possibly say about Lamb of God that hasn't already been said or that most of you don't know. If I wouldn't have described each song, the review would have been pretty short with not much information.

But thanks for the criticism, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :cool:

I didn't mean to be a jerk or anything... I just find that style of review kind of pointless because someone who has heard the album already knows what each song sounds like, and someone who hasn't is more concerned with the album as a whole...

And song-by-song descriptions don't give them that? :huh:

+1

The thing is, I welcome constructive criticism, as anyone looking to improve their writing skills should. "(some aspect of your review) = ick" doesn't help much. No big deal though.

Dude i love all types of metal, old, new, from black metal to flower metal..to doom metal. What I don't like is these FAKE artsy trendcore kids who listen to about 5% metal and the rest is shitty crap that sounds horrible.

aka noodles.


Let me break it down for you, I actually like a lot of metal, noodles does not.

I've been here since the day the board opened, Noodles has not, and still has over 2000 posts, probably 1800 of them consist of him saying he DOESNT like a band or something totally unrelated to metal.

I'll be honest, I don't put a lot of thought into most of my posts like some of you do. Maybe I should, but I'm not exactly the greatest at describing music. Anyways, the point is, I'm here to learn about new bands, and maybe help people get into other bands. Noodles has maybe made 100 posts about REAL metal bands, and by real METAL i mean bands that you know, play metal NOT hardcore/post-rock. I'm all for listening to what you like to listen to, I like a lot of the 80's hardcore stuff and even some newer stuff, as well as some of the post-rock stuff. BUT THIS IS A METAL FORUM NOT A POST ROCK/hardcore/artsytechcore FORUM.

It's sad that this forum isn't about metal anymore. It's more about e-fights and stupid shit.

I know someone will probably tell me I'm part of the problem or something, which is probably true. Or god forbid misha call me "close minded".




NP: ABSU- Stone Of Destiny (...For Magh Slecht And Ard Righ)


there's some GOOD REAL METAL for you noodles, but I bet they're not technical, spazzy, or have odd enough time sigs for you noodles. Or better yet, I bet they're predictable!
