this new hypocrisy album is pretty smokin

[NAD]

i thought that way about the last one and it quickly faded from regular spins, but this sounds like it has all the right elements once again. hypocrisy are one of those bands where you can always combine their past albums to come up with a description for their latest shit, and so far:

If nothing else, that artwork is pretty smokin'.

 

[Night Mare]

Certainly better than their last album cover... *shudders*

[Reign in Acai]

That looks like Carnage on the cover.

 

[Demonspell]

Nice cover, did Niklas Sundin design it? As for the music, I heard one track and it was enjoyable, but even the melodic death bands that haven't descended into worthlessness (read: Dark Tranquility and Hypocrisy, can't think of any others right now) have become as predictable as AC/DC...

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

it's not too bad, i'll give it a proper listen in 4 days when i'm done working.

Hypocrisy, eh? Maybe, maybe not. I love their mid-era, but ever since Into the Abyss, they haven't done much for me. ANd The Arrival was good for like two listens

i dunno, judging by the description it sounds competent but i doubt it's in the good-enough-to-buy neighborhood

 

[Papa Josh]

I played this for someone who hasn't given a shit about them for a very long time....

He is buying it the day he sees it in the store.

Lots of blastbeats, the new drummer was needed.

Best Hypocrisy I've heard in quite some time.

I'm a sucker for Hypocrisy, so I'll prolly get it eventually.
