Not much in terms of the jazz elements.. just disappointing to me they lost their identity.

But whatever, the albums before are all still classic in Death Metal.. The Florida scene is my favorite scene, so many great bands come out of it... you had Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Brutality, Resurrection, Atheist, Cynic, Massacre and a few others who to me were just amazing... seems like all those bands who are still active are just nothing great anymore.. I know times changes and they can't live off just nostalgia, but still... just not that interesting.
