Anyone listened to the new CD?

I found this over the net:

The production has gone slightly downhill compared to previous releases this decade and after reading how it was done, I can understand why that is. The last time the band recorded like that was back in 1986 on the ‘Pleasure to Kill’ opus, and as such adds some nostalgia and more uniqueness to it for a modern day record. Recorded in a live setting using a 4-track analog tape recorder with no overdubbing, and to get that clarity without any tweaks by computers is absolutely amazing and credit has to go to the band. They have shown here how tight they are and along with a few other bands from the original thrash years, still can cut it and show the up comers how its done.

Is this true? I mean 4-track tape recorder? WTF?
 
Fuck knows, but there is a few bits where the guitars are lagging behind....the productions ok, kick sounds like slates kick5 with a filter up to 200hz.

Some cool songs on it but nothing in comparison to EOG or VR.

5/10
 
Really like the record and their "back to the future" approach on this. I love the albums Andy did with them but IMO it was a good decision change things up again. This album just feels very lively... which is a good thing IMO.
