I have to say that for what they did with the Ritual it's
a rocking disc. STILL HEAVIER than anything Metallica
did between 1990-2002. In Fact, I think the writing is
so good, the guys could go back into the studio and
take the raw songs, and speed up the tempo's and make
it real heavy and it could be a fucking great thrasher.
The writing itself is pretty fucking awesome.
The Ritual does kick some butt.
