Say your truth. I think it's not as bad as people say but it's bad anyway. Option 4 for me.

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.

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. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

I haven't heard every MA album, but I'd bet this is the worst one. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

You�re damn right it is. It has it�s moments though so I�d say option 4. A very disappointing release though. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I haven't listened to the album. But based on the samples on Youtube I don't think I will. No vote. ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Obviously worst album ever is silly but it is certainly the worst hing Morbid Angel has made! Not sure how anyone can say otherwise  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  (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!

Is there a way to rig the MMA filter to get the worst rated album list? ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

I seriusly dont understand why everyone hate it so much? On the first listen it sounded a bit wierd but i liked it, and on the second i liked it even more, its not a Masterpiece but a good album, and much better than what people are saying i think. If you listen with an open mind and take it for what it is its good music, death metal or whatever it is. ------------- http://www.riseaboverecords.com/wp-content/uploads/BLOOD-CEREMONY-new-2016.jpg |

It's just all the fans who are disappointed because it's not what they expected :-P

Option #5 for me. Really bad album (the worst Morbid Angel album by FAR), but a few decent moments.

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.

I honestly don't think that the new industrial type tracks will get them many new fans... I mean it's a sort of industrial metal which has already gone out of fashion, isn't it?

Interesting that you enjoy the production (or at least think it's of quality).  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). ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

I didn�t say I enjoy it but from a technical point of view it�s professionally crafted. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

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