OK, I have heard a lot of feedback on the latest from Six Feet Under....A good portion of which being negative. Personally, I loved it. I am a huge Six Feet Under Band....and I think Bringer of Blood is great. I know a lot of people are turned off by 6FU because of lack of speed, and lack of technicality...but that is exactly what draws me to the band. Just curious if there were more people who feel the same way I do or not?!? I cant be the only one who thinks the CD is great.

Not just the lack of speed, SFU can be fast at times. Lack of technicality maybe, but lets face it... 99% of metal isn't that technical. I have a couple SFU CDs and don't really like either of them very much. If what you mean by not technical is that the arrangements are too simple, then I guess I see your point.
Case in example, I put in a CD and they start playing and its a pretty cool riff I admit. Then it keeps on, and keeps, on and on and on and on... I'm waiting for it to change or something and it never seems to. SFU will play the same three riffs for the whole song, where Cannibal Corpse will play thirty or forty riffs per song, and slam you with a killer new riff every eight bars or so.
Its not that the riffs are really more complicated, but there are more of them, the tempo changes, rhythm changes, just makes for a heavier song. Not to mention Corpsegrinder is way better than Barnes is now days, ( but thats really another story ).
I'll always love Chris's older stuff, especially "Tomb Of The Mutilated" and "The Bleeding", but I just really can't get in to SFU. It just kind of sucks compared to all kinds of music thats better...
