Just picked this up on my lunch break and giving it a first listen now....
Has anyone else listened to it? Thoughts?
So far I like it, but it feels like half a step back from the awesomeness that was From Mars to Sirius.

I only have From Sirious to Mars, which is quite good! I think I will check this one out very soon

I agree, it's a good heavy album... but nowhere near "From Mars to Sirius"

After a full listen, my initial opinion is that it's not as good overall as FMtS, but "The Art of Dying" might be the best song they've ever done.

Well maybe not but it's definitely the best song on the album.

I'd certainly be interested to hear this one; I thought From Mars to Sirius was excellent but I've never even heard the first 2.

I didn't quite digest it at first, but I've left it in the CD player in the car for a while now and I'm coming to love it every bit as much as FMtS. There are moments from each track that I love, but particularly the last four songs are all incredible. Definitely in the top 10 metal albums for the year for me.

I just listened to it. My first opinion of it is weak as well. I'll have to listen to it a few more times though. I love the previous two albums though.

the riffs in Toxic Garbage Island and the beginning of The Art of Dying are so good

I've listened to it a grand total of 2 times through.
Fantastic! However, the "hidden" song on the end, has anyone grown tired of these? So anyways, don't expect the "epic" 17 minute The Way of All flesh ending track to be anything grand. It's mostly a bunch of Silence, and spacial noise at the end. The silence was an utter disappointment, as the song was going so well. Other then that, the music is just excellent. |

I loved it, Heres my review for it- Another insane, seeming flawless album. Heavy, Brutal, technical, complex, melodic, gritty, rifts what more could you need, chops, and insane skill, really great album for drummers, Mario Duplantier is one of my new favorite metal drummers. He makes such original syncopated drum grooves and tom fills, it feels so natural, he is also amazing because he doesn't do the repetitive blast beats on every song and really spices up the music.Again the whole album is 5 starred in my itunes. Which really is a rarity for me because most albums have that one song that you don't like. CHECK IT OUT!!!! If your big metal head. |

Agreed. I'm no tech/extreme expert, but I love that album to death and gave it a 5 star review. Way better than FMTS in my opinion! |
