I'm on track #5 "Climax of a Generation".....lots and lots of instrumental passages on this album so far.....riffs and twin guitar leads between Scalzi and Cobbett galore!!!

:kickass:
 
Your mission is to tell me that this album is as good or better than Twilight of the Idols so I shall run out and buy it right away. :D
 
So far it's very varied. Some of it is slow and looming (Curse of Athena and Atavism), and other tracks are tributes to speed epic metal. Scalzi's vocals are on top form. As expected, it sounds like a cross between Traveller (tight playing, thick production) and Twilight (celtic, medieval, epic melodies).

I'm still on first listen, but it makes me want to crack open a Duff!
 
I can't wait to get these! I'm getting 20 copies!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best band that's come out since the 90's IMO.
 
Does it contain lyrics? Does it tell you who wrote / co-wrote which songs? Care to share?!!! That would help me in my review. I'm keen to know which songs Cobbett wrote on (I'm betting it was the two instrumentals).
 
it sure does! Here's how it breaks down:

1. Robustus (Scalzi)
2. I Will Kill You/You Will Die... (Scalzi)
3. Portcullis (Scalzi)
4. Hiberno-Latin Invasion (Cobbett/Scalzi)
5. Climax of a Generation (Scalzi)
6. Atavism (Scalzi)
7. Eumaeus the Swineherd (Scalzi)
8. Curse of Athena (Scalzi)
9. Agnostic Grunt (Scalzi)
10. High Season V (Scalzi)
11. Starport Blues (Scalzi)
12. Man Out of Time (Scalzi)
13. Agony Slalom (Cobbett/Scalzi)
14. Atavism II (Scalzi)

it also has a "Slough Feg Lineage" page in the booklet that shows all the past and current members of the band (WITH MONKEY PICTURES!) :kickass:

Lyrics... I think I'll go add em to Metal Archives now or something [/pointwhore].
 
Oh yea! I finished exams yesterday so I've got all this time on my hands... GREAT time for all this music to start showing up :D I love it!
