I've listened to it twice on Spotify today. I'll bloody download it if they don't get it out by the end of the week!

To be fair though I think this week we saw the best Blabber/Nugent headline ever when they claimed Nugent was going to 'fix' Gene Simmons.

Very riffy. Heavy. Thrashy. Musically I think it's pretty damn good. Zet's singing and the lyrics might take more time to sink in.

I do wonder if someone who is clearly pro-vax and had his shots can be fixed by an anti-vaxxer. If it were the other way around I could understand the fix being convincing the person to get jabbed. But it's not like you can unjab someone to fix them. I think if it comes down to a battle of the minds Gene can't help but win....then trademark the solution and sell it for profit!

Hahha. No I don't think someone who only has misinformation and hate on their side could "fix" someone who is vaccinated.
But if Gene can find a way to sell it I'm sure he will!

Okay so there is no ETA on Exodus as far as my local is concerned so I've just sat down with a lyric sheet and listened to it again on YT.
True to form with Exodus I do appreciate Zet's vocals a little more with the lyric sheet a few times. I think sometimes he just gets a little carried away when he's singing and he's not always that easy to understand.
This is a really good album, so much riffing, so much heavy, so much Exodus. Zet even gets down with some melodic (for him) singing which fits really well into songs like Elitist. Prescribing Horror is an old topic but the way Gary's written the song is still pretty confronting. Even Clickbait which many canned as a terrible song with bad lyrics fits well within this mix of songs.
Whether Exodus have written the best album of their career I don't know, but they have definitely made an album worth buying....if it ever makes the damn shops.

Nuge can't fix himself let alone someone else. Gene probably can't either but they really should make it a fair battle and let Nuge fight someone in his own IQ range, maybe a slug?

Go and listen to it. It's a good album, just because it takes a few listens to get used to Zetro isn't a bad thing.

Haha Metal Archives forum just worked out what is wrong with the new Exodus album.
and this
They need to change the name of Metal Archives forum from "Our Mods Are Opinionated Dicks" to "Comedic Reviews R Us"
I can't get into those vocals, they are really hideous. The awful boomer lyrics aren't helping either.
and this
I just read the lyrics and it feels like Kerry King wrote them(just needs lots of fucks). Not a fan of the vocals either. Chuck Billy would be better suited
and this
I like Zetro's vocals on the earlier material, he sounds a bit auto-tuned or something on this.

Damn that sucks. Nice job NB!
I talked to Decibel and was basically like what the hell. But in nicer terms. First they said they couldn't send them out any earlier due to the contract with the label. Which I understand. It's not their fault. But then they blamed my choice of shipping. And slow mail. Which just means they should have shipped sooner. No matter what I paid it wasn't going to get here in two days. But none of that means anything if their contract wouldn't let them send it out earlier.
Do you think it's better than BIBO?

Man anyone who uses the term Boomer is a hipster dbag with an unnecessarily high opinion of themselves. Hi! Have you never heard these kinds of lyrics before? What do you want songs about? ...whatever the fuck hipsters like.
So they ragged on slayer and Exodus. Go get a different job.
It does seem to be almost universal that people don't like Zetro. At least in this age. That's not going to stop me. I do think Chuck could make anything better though.

Listening now. Aside from the tracks already released. My favorites so far are, The Years Of Death And Dying and Lunatic Liar Lord.
Fuck man if Zetro stuck to his lower register more everything would crush.
Edit: The last half of the album is pretty good.

Kind of lame that Newsted didn't mention Ed Carlson at all in the article.

And the shipping excuse is pretty much what my local is using. Right now here in Oz it's a country past time to kick the delivery service companies. It's been on the news that they are suffering staff shortages and those at work are going on strike for more pay, so every business that relies on a delivery service, so basically all of them, just jump straight to that as an excuse.
Yeah I do think it's better than BIBO. Maybe that will change over time but right now I do.
