The NEW Artillery Album Slays!

Yes! I think I'm going to get the Japanese pressing I'm listening to it right now and so far i haven't heard a weak track!



This one's a lot better than their 2009 release IMO, Hail Artillery!!!!!!

I am looking forward to this!

got this thing on pre order can't wait for it to arrive. I really liked their last album. It was the first one I bought.

Artillery rawks!

I can`t stand the new singer and the new songs aren`t that great imo.

Looking forward to this one! I liked the first half of the last album, the second half kind of dragged for me.

Artillery have always been consistant, still need to hear this. B.A.C.K. was a good comeback.

I tend to agree with this.

BTW, I really like your avatar. Good band!

I loved When Death Comes and I like the one song I heard off of this album.

Looking forward to it !

The cover art is a bit disturbing, don't you agree?

I'll still be buying the album, as i fell in love with this band when i bought when death comes last summer.

Yeah. I am not a fan of it though I will be buying the cd because I really enjoy Artillery.

Yeah, one of the best from the "new wave" imo. They catch that 80s bay area feel better than most bands from the original area. Too bad that the original singer died that tragically.

Damn! Just got a email from amazon the date was pushed to MAY!!! ?????

This new singer is not to good, doesn't have great range, and doesn't have much of a vocal arsenal to speak of, generaly boring in the Rob Dukes sense. Artillery's main singer for most of their existence was instantly recoganizable and had a great voice that sometimes reminds me of some Loudness' efforts. I've only heard half of it so far, but based on what I've heard so far,I'll pass.
I can't pick out any destinct Artillery songwrighting either.

Just curious, to those who have picked this up, what are your thoughts at this point? I've had this since the first week it came out, and it just isn't grabbing me like the last one. In fact, it basically sounds exactly like the last one. Like all they did was change the color of the cover, and changed the name of the album and songs. It sounds great, but I'm just not feeling it.

Its not so bad. The music is great on this. The singer is tolerable but like others say here, the original guy is better. I have heard way worse vocalists.

The riffing on this is very good though. Lots of hooks and melodies and the solos are very good too.

It has some moments but I don't think it is great.

It's doo-doo.

The best thing about it is the cover though.

I have no problems with it. I think it's really good. Mi Sangre is a great song!
