Music Reviews of SacramentMusic Review: trust your own ears... Rating: 5 Stars
All I can say is that reading reviews on Amazon is like trying to swallow yourself--hopelessly pointless but still enticing in a creepy circus-sideshow sort of way! for all we know most of the guys that ripp off albums in reviews are a) Drugged up to the hilt and spewing random garbage for the sake of being "heard" b)not even fans of the music they are bad mouthing or c) failed and jealous wannabe musicians.
Now, Lamb of god have oodles talent and they have a new album out. Is it any good? You decide. Do I think it is? Abso-f***ing-lutely! But who should care about my opinion anyway? Just listen to the cd and make up your own bloody minds! this, the new mastodon album and the children of bodom dvd will probably be the releases of the year.
Music Review: READ MY REVIEW!! (If you haven't heard it yet) Rating: 5 Stars
This album is better than ever from "Ashes Of The Wake"! Their last album was more angry and sounds more pissed, but this album sounds darker and kick a** guitar solos! "Beating On Death's Door" was a really groovy sound, "Blacken The Cursed Sun" had a groovy part at the beginning too. "Walk With Me In Hell" had really catchy guitars and great song to start off the album! "Pathetic" and "Again We Rise" are the best tracks in this album!!! Randy is using his high-pitch screeches more than ever! So what parts of Randy's vocals sounds like Metallica, it's groovy as hell! Randy's vocals in the beginning of "More Time To Kill" was great! And good drumming in the beginning of "Forgotten (Lost Angles)"! GET THIS!!!!!!!!
Music Review: man...... Rating: 2 Stars
i was pretty psyched for this record. i don't listen to metal much anymore because it's all getting a bit too one dimensional and this record really brought my observation to light. only good songs here are "Walk w/ me in Hell", "Again We Rise", "Redneck" and "Descending". on past LOG albums they threw us a little curveball on the final song of each record but here.. ugh. "Beating On Death's Door" is so horrible! just like the rest of the album it's very generic and by the numbers metal.
don't get me wrong. i love Lamb of God.. i've seen them three times, once on each album tour but i'm not going to see them for this one. i hate to say it but it's cliche metal. very disappointing.
Music Review: Lethal Rating: 5 Stars
Their last effort was o.k., but this one is insane! Every facet of their sound, from the musicianship to the songwriting to the vocals, to the production by someone named Machine, is superlative and will send you to get a hearing aid later in life. "Redneck", since it compels me to crank the stereo up to eleven and thrash around my living room, is undoubtedly my neighbors' favorite tune, while "Again We Rise" adds a little gothic (not goth) texture to their pummeling attack for a hair raising assault on your ears. With its driving chorus, "Blacken the Cursed Sun" is another highlight, but they are all worthy metal anthems. If you get only one metal c.d. this year, this would be the one.
Music Review: American Metal with No Prisoners Taken Alive Rating: 4 Stars
Lamb of God has established themselves as metal royalty, and deserves to be spoken of as such. They absolutely shred live. I saw them with Shadows Fall (another upper echelon band), and they destroyed everyone there. When I think of pure metal, LOG is one of the first bands to pop in my head.
This album isn't as good as Ashes of the Wake, but it is about on par with As the Palaces Burn. However, there are some songs on here that push the boundaries of what anyone could reasonably expect from them, and leave you wondering just how awesome of a career these dudes will have. If you consider yourself a metalhead, you need to add LOG to your collection. I give this 4.5 stars.
