Members FWAxeIbanez Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 ...really let me down Foot to the throat is the only song thats doing anything for me so far, all the rest have had a decent riff here and there, but largely they are garbage so far, borderline nu-metal almost... I still have the last half of the album to listen to, but so far I'm almost ready to take the cd out and toss it. I can't believe I might not be making it through an entire Lamb of God album...

Members blargh Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 I see the awfully overcompressed mastering is still in full force on this album, yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FWAxeIbanez Posted August 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 the last half of Blacken the Cursed Sun is sick, I'm digging that a lot, but its more like a Mastodon song than a Lamb of God song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nothx Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 man, i completely agree. a few good riffs here and there, but the majority is just boring and uninspired sounding. it feels sometimes like they are just throwing notes around on the low strings and my god, the solos! what the {censored} happened there? listening to the riffing you think they guys might actually be somewhat decent, until you hear the musical abortion that they stuck in place of a metal solo in 'walk with me in hell'. well, at least I can say I gave them an honest shot.ugh.

Members Megadeth7684 Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yup, I couldn't wait till the album was done. I thought it was boring except those two songs that have been out for a while. The tone is weak again too, just like the last album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted August 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 that song ended up flopping with me, this album blows goatballs and mark, I think we will die disagreeing on Lamb of God's AotW tone... I loved it, thought it was great. And while I don't care for this album I think the tone is crushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree about SOTS sounding weaker. And really, that was recorded with a $150 solid state Peavey with a Boss Metalzone and Boss HM-2 in front of the clean channel. I'd think Lamb of God would be able to get some heavier tones out of Mesa Mark IV's...but they don't. Maybe they need a better producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read that in Guitar World about the last album, only two total guitar tracks. That's exactly why the last two albums sound so weak to me. I think that's retarded, but hey, I'm not in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno what you listen to, but I don't think many albums sound the same. I'm a sucker for the wall of guitars sound, nothing better than that IMO.

Not every band uses the same amp, or the same producer, or the same guitar, or the same technique, etc. There's a million things that change the overall sound, so not everything sounds the same even if it's all recorded with a lot of guitar tracks.
