Ho...leeee... SHIT! 
Ever since I opened the mail yesterday, I'm even more unpopular with my neighbours
Where do I send the bill for a new set of speakers, lads?
At first, ARTP sounds like all my favourite parts of Resurrection multiplied by ten and given a hearty dose of steroids. Just the kind of "jump around the room, play air guitar and smash things" music I was in the mood for when I put it on.
After a second spin first thing this morning, I could see just how far Dungeon have come since the debut. Everything is *much* more ambitious, with a sound that takes no prisoners. Stu and Dakk are a big part of this, and I doubt the album would have kicked quite so much arse if not for the new lineup.
Vox and percussion are at full pelt all the way through. I can only wonder at the amount of drum heads Stevo got through during the recording, and the beating that Tim's vocal cords must have taken, especially during "Traumatised."
Standout moments so far are the title track, Netherlife, Insanity's Fall, Stormchaser and Life is Black. I'm sure I'll just need a few more listens for all the others to get up off the stereo and belt me around a bit too
.
Last but not least, it was quite a pleasant surprise to read through the thankyous and find my name listed. You guys are the epitome of gentlemanly coolness.
