I was going to say it's rather cool. The dragon is unfrozen!

Still have to get the next two after Cause Of Death. What I heard of Frozen In Time was a bit meh, hopefully this'll be their real comeback.

Just avoid Back From the Dead like the plague. It's Allan West at his most uninspired, and he even resorted to recycling Six Feet Under riffs on one song. There's also a Rap-Metal collaboration on it. *shudders*

I think the cover is fairly average, although slightly unusual for OBituary in that it's not a landscape.

Anyway, is this the one with Santolla playing guitars? That would probably make me look forward to it a bit more.

Obituary kick ass.

Indeed, Santolla will be on this one. This has a lot of potential.

After a few more listens, it's not as good as once thought. But, it is still quite listenable. Some songs still deserve a :dio:

The production really kills this album.

My girlfriend gave this to me for my birthday, but I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. I will remedy this tonight.

As I said the production is really mediocre but man the solos and the riffing is great!

Man do I love this album, from beginning to end it's awesome. I think my love for Obituary lately is a little unhealthy.

Meh. I think this is one of the worst Obituary albums to date. The production is muddy poo and the songs just bleed into each other, none really have their own identity. Not a horrible album, but it's a step down from the last for sure.
