I think it's good points have gotten lost in the mix. I think the way the opener begins is a great buildup. It starts simple and layers the intensity for that first minute. After that it has a few average tracks, but then Bats in the Belfry is a cool grooving potboiler and A Pound of Your Flesh is a total raging thrasher. After that there's a few more clunkers, but I like the song Play the Ace. And Old School is goofy, but fun. So I don't dislike the album because of it's good tracks, but it would've made a better EP I suppose.

I got mine from Amazon and it ripped with no problems to my computer.
I'm really hoping to make it to their Cincy in April. What a tour: Vader, God Dethroned, Evile, Warbringer, AND Overkill in one night. That's a line-up!
It'll never happen, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Overkill for ProgPower XII, er showcase, or something! Hell, just come to Atlanta on a tour for a change...

Just got back from the show in Austin and holy shit, they can still bring it live! This was the first time that I have seen them in 15 years and have completely re-affirmed that they are easily my favorite band live. If there was a band that I followed around the country like a dead-head, it would be Overkill. This show completely crushed.
In what order do the bands play??? There's a few that I don't care to see. I'll be at the NYC show on Sat.

Not sure. The only band I wanted to see was Overkill, so didn't get there until 10. I only saw Vader and then Overkill.

I don't know if you guys saw the blurb go by on Blabbermouth but Overkill is lining up a second tour late this year with Forbidden in the support slot.
EDIT, here's the blurb
Next Sunday!
p.s. Evile played first at the show I saw, Warbringer second.

I'm so glad now that I missed them this time, because I'd much rather see them with Forbidden. I could care less for many of these other bands outside of Evile.

I need to check Ironbound out to see if all the hype here is legit. I thought their last one was okay, so that's why I haven't been too fired up to listen to this new one.

GET IT NOW!!! Honestly, it really is that good and I don't really see anyone releasing a better album this year. Also, this is coming from someone who never bought any of their stuff before.

When I saw them in Cincy it was Woe of Tyrants -> Evile -> Warbringer -> God Dethroned -> Vader -> Over Kill

Are you shitting me? The last time that I went to Austin for a show was Blind Guardian circa 2002 because they didn't have an Atlanta date, so I get my tickets and airfare and low and behold they add an Atlanta date... Can't believe this happened again. That being said, I'll be there.
Nevermind, I am thinking of Hammerfall when I went to New Orleans to see them with Death in 97.

Well, looks like many of you will be happy who don't get a lot of shows. I on the other hand am pissed the second leg won't be hitting Chicago, but then again compared to the many tours we do get I guess I shouldn't complain.
