Me too. I liked it but haven't heard it nearly enough to form an opinion other than "it's good".

+1. The hard rock sound of it kinda mislead me but it really is a good album.

Great reiew Alex, so far i've been enjoying this album a lot, the songs, although a bit more stripped and straight forward, have grown on me with repeated listens, in that aspect it reminds me of Hardworlder, regarding the killing tracks i'd add Free Market Barbarian to your list.

Much better than the last one. Atavism is still my favorite and gets regular play in the iPod!

I listened to this twice last night and I love it. It's just like my first impression, it is catchy and happy with a minimalistic old school style. It is very much enjoyable.

Even though I like how they are able to change their style in every album a little but manage to not suck. I only have one problem with this. Where are my fast songs? They rule at making fast songs but the last two albums had very few of them. How much does Tactical Air War kick ass? A LOT! :dio: There could be a couple more like it. Should be, actually.

Second Coming is probably my favorite song of the album. It is beautiful.

Ape Uprising is definitely cooler than this.

I think this one's better. It's true it doesn't have a ripping song like Ape Outro, but other than that it's more solid overall, imo.
