Rating: 9 Out Of 10 - Reviewed by Bam-Bam

Hell Yeah! Neil Kernon is back behind the mixing board and producing again so expect the boys to be on their best behavior. Exploited with a crappy sound on their last effort, Enemies Of Reality, by the doomed hands of producer Kelly Gray, the guys bounce back this time with an album full of the same greatness that made Dreaming Neon Black and Dead Heart In A Dead WorldGodless… the guys waste no time with pleasantries…it’s ass-kickin’ time and they know it. “Born [The Retribution Of Spiritual Sickness]” rips forth with Warrel using somewhat of a different technique than we’re used to hearing from him. He almost sounds as if he’s going for a more gutteral Death Metal sound on the verse until, lo-and-behold, we get the screaming tyrant of old! My personal favorite is “Medicated Nation”, but only because it’s lyrically more interesting to me than the others. To choose a favorite would be pointless since they’re all great and the album rocks!!! The album hits stores on July 26th and I suggest you do the same. Almost pulls off a perfect 10 out of 10, but “The Holocaust Of Thought”, kind of taints the killer mood they’ve got going on the rest of the album for me. At only a minute and a half, they could have left it off and made a deeper impact. Not to worry though, this one comes Very, Very Highly Recommended!!! almost instant classics of Metal! I fully attribute this to Warrel’s great vocal performance, the killer songwriting, and of




It's nice to see that you're getting your due recognition, ol' chap :)
 
miscredited the producer right AND didn't like my solo....:cry:

i'm so crushed since this guy obviously has his finger on the pulse of things....:loco:
 
Miscrediting seems to be normal when it comes to producers. I've seen countless sites with reviews pointing to different producers...even different musicians!

james, where is it mentioned that he didn't like your solo? o_O

that track is only 1:30 or so and about 1:00 of it is me soloing.. lol.. ah well.. Jeff and the boys loved it (though Andy called it "the jazzy bit"), so i'm happy... i think my inner child will survive this guy's displeasure.
:headbang:

ps.. for those who don't already know, Andy is not a jazz fan :p

Oh, alright. I didn't even know you had been guest on this album :) I just checked the solo, it's awesome, but I can't see it as "jazzy", it doesn't really sound like the type of jazz I listen to, nevertheless it's awesome!

Well, isn't it beautiful when someone who doesn'k know a thing about what he's talking about get to 'explain' and judge something for others?

The BLabbermouth review is much more appropriate.

Mind you, I usually am not that type of fan that wants only praise to his favourite bands, but if the reviewer wants to put some criticism he better be well informed before.

Doing like this he doesn't go to the point and make himself laughable...
 
Yeah, it's a killer solo James. I mean, it's the customary interlude track in a metal album, I don't really know how it can be dismissed as easily as that. It's definately the least jazzy, 'jazz bit' I've ever heard :)
