 Re: Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained....(offical thread)
There's nothing good on it. Not even the supposed 'DM' tracks are worth a fuck. It's an utter waste of everybody's time.

There are actually a few good tracks on Illud....which makes the album that much mre frustrating because it's clear they were still capable of making great death metal. Listen to Blades..and tell me what's bad about that track....

 Re: Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained....(offical thread)
First time I've played that track in years. It's definitely the best of a bad lot. Existo Vulgore, Nevermore, Ten More Dead are all fucking atrocious. None could reasonably be described as 'great' death metal. I've always maintained Vincent returning was a terrible idea. Obviously he wasn't entirely responsible for that reprehensible record (Trey was more than likely the main culprit for their change in 'direction'). List time (again):
1. Blessed 2. Altars 3. Formulas 4. Covenant 5. Gateways 6. Heretic 7. Domination 8. Illud
Probably not a popular listing but I really don't like Domination at all. Heretic isn't remotely brilliant in any way, but it's not Domination so in my twisted view it's better.

 Re: Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained....(offical thread)
Heretic has no memorable songs. Where The Slime Live is an M.A classic.
As for the last album, palming it off on Vincent is pathetic fanboy stuff. M.A is Trey's band. Nothing comes out without his approval.
Trey tried to blame Vincent for the 'sterile production' (his words) of Domination, but nobody forced his hand to use Bill Kennedy, who had no previous experience producing metal other than Testament.

I do like WTSL. And I totally agree with you. The amount of people laying the blame solely on Vincent for the tripe on Illud was ridiculous. It reeks of Trey's love of dated 90s videogames. I literally can't even think about that record without grimacing.

Vincent would only come back if Trey agreed to let him have songs on the album, apparently. Also I can't stand domination, hate it, same with covenant, those two albums are just horrible and cripplingly boring to me. FWIW 1.Altars 2.Formulas 3.Blessed 4.Gateways 5.Heretic 6.juvenalia 7.Covenant Joint last domination and iliud.

 Re: Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained....(offical thread)
Finally had a chance to listen to that track properly. It's alright, but the vocals are crap and the guitars are far too low in the mix. Average overall.

 Re: Morbid Angel Kingdoms Disdained....(offical thread)
I found a review: http://www.ztmag.com/blog/news/morbid-angels-kingdoms-disdained-reviewed/^^Basically says the album is good but nothing special and that the production is an issue.

'' But all the guitarwork is buried.''  If Morbid Angel don't deliver a ''come back'' now, they'll probably never will, right? They better get this one right.
