The title will cause controversy but I like it.

Walmart has already requested an alternate title, Gosh Darn Evil to stock on the shelves.

Badass album cover. I want that on a t-shirt!

...and predictably, the "I get offended by everything" portion of their fan base is already objecting to the title on the band's FB page Laughing very hard

My favorite album cover they've ever had.

On Wednesday, Blabbermouth will report: Michael Sweet "doesn't give a holy shit" what people think of his album title.

A guy on Sweet's official FB posted, "I don't like the album title. I don't say G___ D___."

(Yes, he actually typed the blank spaces. Haha)

...I was tempted to ask him, "So what do you say when you hit your thumb with a hammer? 'Oh, shucky darn'?" Laughing very hard

Next they'll get their undies in a bunch about the release date being 4/20.

They've been on a roll lately, so I look forward to this. I couldn't care less about the title. Sounds just as cheesy as their 80s lyrics and is basically just another way of saying "To Hell with the Devil."

I will see them near Chicago in October with Kix opening. It's an interesting billing.

I loved their last two albums so i am definitely buying this one. Always in the mood for some Stryper.

Can't wait for it. The cover is badass and the title doesn't bother me a bit. I get where they're coming from.

It's definitely their most METAL album cover! It almost has a Nuclear Assault vibe. But it would've been better if Ed Repka did it! Smile

I hope the music lives up to it.

The God character looks a little too much like Zeus.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Mustaine has a guest appearance on this one.

I don't know about that but apparently one song has some "death"-ish vocals during the chorus.

I guess Stryper just made Rob Rock's Holy Hell album (part 2)! headbanger

Well there's been talk that they are friends nowadays. And Mike Sweet has already worked on a song with Mustaine's daughter a couple years ago.

I haven't paid too much attention to Stryper in a very long time but I'd check this one (and some of their more recent releases) out.

Hope you don't mind, MG, but I used this joke in a thread on Stryper's FB page. I'll let you know if Michael Sweet "likes" it. Very Happy

Neat-o. That could be just the thing that tips the scales in my favor when I'm standing in judgement at the Pearly Gates some day. $\'arry \'eadbanger$

A guy on FB pointed out something interesting - the new cover looks like it fits together with the last couple of album covers to create one big piece of art if you put Fallen on top, God Damn Evil in the middle and No More Hell to Pay at the bottom.

I was going to ask if the album covers fit together? Anyways, hope the music is good.

Couldn't agree more! Totally ridiculous and insulting.

Personally I love the artwork, bad ass

Album title, I could care less in fact they should drop Evil and put People instead

Musically Im very skeptical as the last 2 albums have done nothing for me

Seriously though I think Stryper is doing it just to piss people off to be in your face about it...

Like the album cover, have enjoyed everything Sweet has done recently, and the title is okay.

The jokes on this thread have been great!
