So was their first album, lyrically anyway. Good thrash music though. They kind of remind me of early Metallica, but with cheesier lyrics.

They're no Testament, that's for sure, but I wouldn't call them a fail. Musically, they play some pretty solid thrash, which we can always use more of. If they can mature lyrically, they might still have something to offer the metal world.
For me, there is nothing like a good thrash album. To each is own. If we all liked exactly the same stuff, the world would be a pretty boring place.

Evile are an excellent band. I love thrash. For the entire time I've been into metal up until the last year or so, I have totally overlooked thrash. I first listened to bands like Kreator and Sodom, which didn't really appeal to me; I was more into things which were written to perfection or at least well thought out. Now I can't get enough, I love Sodom and Kreator for what they are. Thrash is simple and that's what I find enjoyable.
My top five albums of this year so far (not in any order):
Lamb of God
Lazarus AD
DevilDriver
The Black League
Novembers Doom
I'm not aware of too many big releases besides Slayer between now and the end of the year, so unless a smaller band surprises, there may not be too many changes to that list. I know a lot of critics are going to have Mastodon on that list, but I find their music kind of boring and overrated. The Lazarus AD may need an asterix beside it, because technically the album was released a few years ago on a tiny label, and is only now seeing the light of day having been re-done and released on a bigger label. I would definitely recommend checking it out regardless.

It was a blast. A blast that spilled over into a Motorhead concert last night, and I'm going on a week of not enough sleep. Hopefully tonight...
I meant hopefully I'll get a decent night's sleep. I didn't even know it until last night, but it turns out Motorhead was playing in Denver this weekend while I was there. I could have seen them twice, although realistically, Denver was all about the beer.
