Metal Reviews

yeah radical cut is the last man you want agrue with lol, he's right, thats what makes me mad.

You do realize that there's more to math-metal than Dilinger Escape Plan, right?

There are spectrums to every genre. Much of the material on Ashes of the Wake strongly resembles Meshuggah, but only in terms of riffage.

Try harder.

considering i like the dillinger escape plan, yes, yes i do

My point was that The Dilinger Escape Plan is not the official archetype that all math-metal descends from, and saying that after listening to Dilinger Escape Plan, Lamb of God is obviously not math-metal (which IMPLIES the above relationship owing to archetypes that I referenced), then you're acting a bit ridiculous.

i think thats what i said, so i guess were argueing about the fact that we agree? :?

I'm going to get pissy here, because you're being an idiot.

POINT 1- Dilinger Escape Plan is not the ultimate archetype for all math-metal.
POINT 2- Thus, listening to it, and then dismissing Lamb of God as not being math-metal because of its lack of similarity to Dilinger Escape Plan is being a fucking moron.
POINT 3- You didn't actually read my last post, or if you did, did not understand it in the slightest.

Do you get it now?

yes i get it, not only to stop this nonsence, but yes i actualy get it lol

Ain't "math metal" a synonym of what we call "takkeherrie" in Dutch?

yes

:?:

Impossible to translate, maybe "aweful noise" comes closest...

lol

They should definitely re-record this album with the same production team they use for "Ashes of the Wake", then this would deserve a 90 or above rating.

Gah, that would kill it for me. I think the BTP re-master is the only thing they should ever touch from their past discography.

I love the songs on ATPB, but I love the production as well. It may not be technically or aesthetically perfect but it fits.

i love new american gospel because even when i read the lyrics sheet and follow along i still cant understand what he's saying! no matter how good you are, i bet no one else can either. NAG is one of my favorite cds. The riff's are soo killer, and the drumming is excellent, plus the drumming has a unique sound which i love (double bass pedal). Ashes Of the Wake is an amazing disc because i can actually understand what he's saying! I dont like As the Palaces Burn that much because it falls in the middle, the vocals are half ass, and for me personaly, are kind of annoying at times. I've found myself only listening to 2 songs of ATPB, Ruin and 11th Hour. Its hard to believe there wasnt even a year between ATPB and Ashes of the Wake. Such a big difference.

ATPB is my favorite hands down, NAG is pretty boring and tends to not go anywhere. The riffs are lame, the vocals are unintelligible to a degree that makes them ridiculous, the only consistently great thing about the cd is the drumming. There are a few cool songs but it's easily the worst album for me.

This is IMO the best LOG. It has the most memorable riffs (particularly A Devil In God's Country - my personal favorite song) and all around best songwriting. Definitely one of the top metal releases of 2003.

While I rarely touch this one anymore, it was the first really heavy album I ever owned. While just about every metalcore band out there is simply the offspring of Killswitch, there really isn't anything quite like Lamb of God that I have ever come across. I think it is that trademark southern anger that grabs my attention. While I enjoy the frozen hate of Scandinavia from time to time, it is not something that I can really relate to. The vitriol of Lamb of God however, hits very close to home.
