The new Morbid Angel album...

The production does not strike me as being that bad.... except maybe the way that the drum machine sounds.

I�d be interested to hear if the style they play now will get them new fans. Personally I don�t know anyone who would be interested in this (and not all people I know are MA fans). While the experiments are probably the worst pill to swallow for the hardcore MA fans, I actually think it�s the more regular tracks that are most disappointing. There�s actually only one track on the album that I truly enjoy and that�s "Blades of Baal". The rest are just not very interesting. The occult mystique of the old albums is gone and instead you get some pretty straight forward lyrics that I notice that most fans can�t relate to. The fact that there is an emphasis on "sing along" choruses probably doesn�t help. Right now my rating is around 2.5 . 3 star rating because of the overall quality of the album ( musicianship, production, packing and songwriting) but personally I don�t like the album and it�s going straight to my basement to collect dust the minute I�m done writing my review.

Interesting that you enjoy the production (or at least think it's of quality). Smile

That aspect of the album made it almost unlistenable for me... I really had a major issue with the sound (especially the triggered drums and over-produced atmosphere).

Five...all though six was tempting.

Obviously worst album ever is silly but it is certainly the worst hing Morbid Angel has made!

Not sure how anyone can say otherwise LOL

The "good" parts are not that good IMO because the drums just sound so horrible, the music is flat and the vocals are horrid. So it's pretty much bad death metal mixed electronic and nu metal and none of it works.
Oh and the infamous Radikult Cry

(though I do think/pray that song is satiric)

I just wonder what MA was thinking. A deliberate effort to challenge the fans? Was this their honest intention??
It's like in their time off they were frozen and still think it's 2003....

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

Listen to doom metal, worship Satan

You�re damn right it is. It has it�s moments though so I�d say option 4. A very disappointing release though.

I went for the sub-par option. I haven't heard every Morbid Angel album so I really can't call if its their worst, though I can't see anything else being worse than it. But in all fairness it does have a few half-decent moments.

I said #5 because in truth it is the worst Morbid Angel Album, and I find it very, very disappointing. I like maybe one song on it but that's about it. If they could perfect what they are doing now, this industrial new metal type thing, I think their next album might not be too bad.
