New Exodus

[Mikey-Bong]

Didn't like the new Overkill either (their last few albums haven't been anything special at all).

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

To me those albums don't compare with albums like Feel the Fire, Taking Over, or Under the Influence.

He's right. Zetro sounds painful to my ears...and I loved them around Pleasures/Disaster. Shame, because Gary's guitar tone remains stunning.

Yep. Just couldn't get into the last few albums. Every song was 2 1/2 minutes of (somewhat) decent material followed by 4 minutes of filler riffing and soloing. Guess this is just the kind of band they are now, but I'm not losing sleep over it because they haven't had a good album since Impact Is Imminent circa 1990.

You serious?

Tempo of the Damned is one of the best thrash records this millennium.

I prefer any Slayer release from this millennium to Tempo of the Damned.

[Anthrax_Mosher]

lol Slayer has at least released listenable albums since then.

Have given this new Exodus record some real thorough listens today, and I gotta say, it's pretty damn good. Probably their best record since Tempo, and that's really good, as I loved Atrocity Exhibition A. Fast, brutal thrash, the way it should be done in 2014.
