the idea can get out of hand, when so many bands start to do the 360 deal, that people will start to not care for many of those bands. and maybe since the albums can be free, that would mean less effort for bands to write better music.

I think this will be in a way helpful for the first bands that will do it, but then It can be the demise for heavy metal once more

Yea, the 360 idea has it's flaws for sure, but at least the record companies are trying to do something about their crumbling business. They're scrambling for ideas to become profitable again, so I suppose they'll try anything at the moment, not thinking about the effects of it in the long run. I guess we'll see how this all works out.

Man, I listened to this the other night and I just could not get into it...I mean the riffs and music are all there. I just hate the extreme tongue and cheek stupid humor of the album. Not sure if Gama bomb is usually like this because this is first album by them I have listened to all the way thru. I have said it before, yeah we all know thrash was humorous before, but why do the new bands have to be so blatant with it?? Sing about brutally killing people like Exodus or something man...

Checkin out the Gama Bomb right now... me likee... riff wise I hear a lotta Slayer/Exodus going on, vocally I'm reminded of Bobby Blitz (with a hit of Gerre from Tankard)... and judging from the song titles and artwork, they have a thing for horror/sci-fi "B" movies, which is right up my alley... all around, good stuff!!

Bumping this for no good reason other than to mention that in addition to the aforementioned Gerre from Tankard and Blitz from Overkill, I have also begun to notice a passing vocal resemblance to Dave "Oderus Urungus" Brockie of GWAR with repeated listenings to the CD.

...and I'm still diggin' it.
