No comments about how the album is?

Checking it out as we speak...

Umm, so its apparently more the first thirty seconds of each song, Seinfeld man.

I'll see if I can get a complete version anywhere.

The samples sound very good, though- they say its the next Bonded by Blood and will be regarded the same way in twenty years, which is very unlikely for the former and about impossible for the latter, but this could be an impressive release.

You can find the entire song "Children of a worthless god" online people. It's great.

im listening to it now, will report in 1 hour.

Listened to the whole thing yesterday and really liked it. Both riffs and production are a great improvement over SHKM. I'll be getting this.

I've found and downloaded this and I'm on my first listen. I like it so far. Some great and some mediocre stuff. Most songs are over 7 minutes, interestingly. Some are unnecessarily long obviously.

You can stream the whole thing on their MySpace page. It's metalcore with solos, though no one will admit that since it's "Exodus," the classic thrash band. Pffft!

After two listens, Eyesore is quite correct. It has some thrashy moments, but it is metalcore- that being said, its much better done than on the past two. As of now, it gets a 70/100.

It's very good metalcore, I should say.

And who is Eyesore?

Some fag.

But it is growing on me a bit more.. score's gone up to around 75. When done well, metalcore can be headbangalicious and well done, particularly when it has the thrash influence like here.

an eyesore is afro lint

This is shit.

I don't really like it too much. The songs are too long and not fast enough.

Doesn't most Metalcore have solos?

More and more by the day, as metalcore morphs into this quasi-traditional metal style, but traditionally no, there were no solos, just breakdowns where solos would normally be. With the publication of Solos For Dummies, though, bands are including them more and more.

+1, although metalcore and groove thrash are basically the same thing nowadays as far as i can tell

It's all sort of blending together now.

This is the kind of band I was thinking about when I said the new Exodus album was metalcore with solos.

I just pre-ordered this bastard.
