Album Rating: 4.0

This is a decent band, they're fairly original in their riffs, and the vocals, as far as metal goes. The album is alright, though it does get sort of redundant as it goes on, but as a musician, I can enjoy the parts being played by these guys, while not very dynamic, they are an extremely talented group of musicians.

I'm a big fan of LOG recent album, it leans more toward my style of music. I dig the riffs because its some what slow & heavy with alot of crunch to it which is my style of metal music. Cris Adler in my opinion is a very solid drummer and is consistent in keeping time. I checked out their two previous albums As The Pal... & New Amercian.... and was not really impressed with them. I'm still listening to "Ashes of The Wake" album since its release.

Album Rating: 3.5

My friend got me into this band and they've have been one of my fav. metal bands since. Randy's voice is amazing, and his messege behind the music is so true and brutal, which only adds to its greatness. Recommended to all metal fans.

Tma20SC you seriously like Ashes of the Wake and don't like As the Palaces Burn? You might wanna listen to that album again.

Album Rating: 4.0

If you don't like the music, then don't bother to review it. It just discourages people who are actually into this style of music. This is a very good album and i personally think that Randy has a good voice. And there is no way that you can say it all sounds the same because that is very close minded and ignorant. This album is very diverse and dynamic at the same time as being aggressive. When I see someone like you review something and totally disregard taste and musical experience, it makes me sick. Make sure before you do a review, you listen to what you're reviewing.

I can see what he means by the atmospheres and riffs being very similar in sound and tone, which is probably what he means. I agree with him for the most part, but I do love this album.

He did listen to the album and he didn't like it, face it you favorite band isn't liked by everyone. I'm sure there are tons of bands that you don't like that have amazing musicianship and great diversity. Posted twice because of the length of posts can only be a certain amount.

Aaaaaaawwwwwww, can't we just be friends?



Apparently you've never been introduced to a words called "opinion". If you had, you'd realize that not everyone views things the same way, and you'd understand how your point was bullshit.

I personally love LoG, there other albums are way better!
this was alright nonetheless

this is the only one i've heard by them...

i love this album,it has grown on me...it really goes into everything about america,our troops,the war,goverment,etc... more so than most other metal bands have done,which shocks me. lamb of god seem willing to piss you off but that's only if you don't agree with them. i didn't think the production was so superclean as some have said but sometimes i don't pay attention to that stuff.

all in all i want to hear more new things from them,soon.

This album is okay, not the greatest.

They didn't experiment with that, the Chugga-Chugga riffs are in every song.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah the production is pretty bad on the cd. However, when I went to see them live at sounds of the underground last year, they were totally amazing.

Album Rating: 4.5

I for one thought that the production on this album was amazing. The only problem is that the bass is turned down way too much.

Album Rating: 5.0

Great peice of metal.

This album has amazing production like Thor said, it's almost overproduced. But yeah about the bass, it's not very high in the mix.

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm not one to get hung up on production values, but when listening to this and New Ameircan Gospel, the difference is quite noticable. In my opinion, the lyrics are very well written, and for me that's a selling point. I don't care if I can understand them or not, but I'm the kind of guy who sits there with the CD book and reads along with the vocals. The fact that they've put their thoughts and emotions into what they're writing gives it a deeper meaning. I don't mean to say that other bands don't do that, but it's about real life problems and it hits home for me (I've lost family from the situation in Iraq) and I find that I can totally agree with the attitude being expressed.



This album doesn't top As The Palaces Burn, but it definitely stands out in my mind. Some of the songs do sound alot alike, and the chug pattern does get a bit old after hearing it alot, but that's why CD players with the "Shuffle" function were created. This Album is probably a 3/5, not something I'd listen to every day but definitely worth it after a long day at work once in awhile.

Nice first post. I totally agree with you, and sorry about your family.

I love LoG's drummer hence being a long time LoG fan i find that they are kinda repetitive thats why they have 3-4 good songs on each cd..i own all of them examples would be like...that and i do like chuga-chuga stuff because im a big headbanger and thats when everyone usualy goes together because fast parts of the song end up in pits. examples of my favorite songs would be..from last cd to newst

Over all i'd rate this band like..4/5 that and there kick ass live you dont find very metal bands that sound good live LoG would be rated great live, in other words SLipknot sounds nothing like there cd does live kinda giving falce music then if you look at like CoB = The all time best sounding band live ever i have seen them 3 times and they are amazeing.



And hence being a gigantic metal fan and being on Roadrunner records street team i find a very wide varity of metal. LoG is so differant because mainly they showed off Slipknot they got more ratings from the tour with them then slipknot did. just because of there intermission solos - just like CoB's intermission gutair vs. Keyboard battles.
