Opening track is by the numbers, but at least it gets the job done. The ballads are arse for sure. Melodramatic bollocks.

I should check out the new Behemoth.

When I was being tattooed a few weeks ago, he played the first Disturbed album in the background. Twice. It was unpleasant.

The songs are a bit pish on the first Disturbed, but it has great neanderthal spirit

SPINY: So the new Bloodbath is inferior to the last one?

It's a very good album and I think I prefer it to the last one, but that could be just because it's new.

Great album.
Proggier than usual.

Need to get it.

Spiny, Rammstein's new one is being mixed in December. Should be out in next March/April I'm guessing. Hard to believe it has already been 9 years since their last one. Will probably be their final album.

I knew it had been a while, but fuck me. Ten years between albums is almost Tool and G n'R boss levels.

or Portishead

Evoken is album of the month for me, superb.
