Track 1(Love) Good punchy start, vocals are understandable, great guitar work. Think I may like this. The end of that was particularly great.
Track 2(Love) More of the Thrash in this; great though
Track 3(Love) And this certainly nails its progressive colours to the mast. The bells add a nice side order of Doom.
Track 4(Love) This is darker, slower and grindier, and has some sort of screeched vocals in parts, but I do like it.
Track 5(Hate) This is pretty raw and uncompromising, sort of a Metallica thing going on with the guitar.
Track 6(Hate) Yeah, not crazy about this one either
Track 7(Love) This is much better. Less of the Thrash and more of the Progressive
Track 8(Love) These guys are only using guitars? No keys? Seriously? This is really excellent.
Track 9(Love) This has got proceedings nicely back on track after wandering off course for a little while.
Track 10(Love) Like the way this tones things back a little; not as frenetic as some of the preceding tracks.
Track 11(Love) What's with the awful production at the start of this? Intentional? A good, powerful closer, just wish it had started better.
End result: A pretty damn fine album. Interesting mix of styles. Also it's nice to hear something heavy after all the classical, instrumental and pop stuff recently.
So, Love or Hate? Love for this one.
