| Post subject: | Lamb of God - Ashes In The Wake |
I just listened to this album today. To be honest, I'm underwhelmed. After hearing so much critical fanfare and praise for this band, I was expecting to be blown away by them. Don't get me wrong, they're not at all a bad band. But I just didn't really find anything special about them. May be the way All Music labeled them "Shock Rock" turned me off to them (Shock Rock - pointless one dimensional rock music). But I think it may also be that I've heard it all before. Pantera/Machine Head riffs with slightly higher guitar tuning, the usual death metal vocals, a sound reminiscent of World Needs A Hero-era Megadeth. I will listen to the album again sometime, and may be even buy it, because I do think it may grow on me eventually. But so far, I'm not impressed. |

Ashes is a grower. The riffs are much more thrash than Machine Head and Pantera were. I keep thinking 'math-metal structures meet Slayer riffing.' I don't see how they sound much like WNAH-era Megadeth. |

They bore me. All I hear is chug-chug-squeal or chug-chug-dun in like all of their riffs =\. And their singer is boring beyond words. |

LoG is awesome, but AotW is their weakest IMO. |

Boring vocals? WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK? Listen to Now Youv'e Got Something to Die For and then tell me the vocals are boring! |

I think they are ok, but the singer in all aspects really annoys me for some reason. |

Alright for what it is. Better than most of the commercial metalcore shit out there. |

Not a fan of the production on this album. It makes the guitar work sound terrible. |

Fuck Yeah. Today is the Day is the shizzle. Temple of the Morning Star is one of my favorite albums. |

I can't even begin to tell you guys how much this album has grown on me in time. But it requires a lot of spins to like and I don't get why ? It's not complex or anything... :? |

I wonder that as well. There seem to be three phases to AoTW: 1. Surface reaction: "Woo, this is cool shit!" 2. Boredom: "Eh, I heard it all before..." 3. Click! "WOW! I never realized how amazing this was..." |
