New OVERKILL album - "The Electric Age"

You can listen to it now on Spotify

I've listened to it 2 times through now and think it's great. I'll admit I'm a fanboy but I don't see how any thrash fan would not like it. Come And Get It is an awesome opener !

I got it!

My first impression is that I like it more than Ironbound. Need to listen a few more times through though.

Went to pick it up and the one copy the store ordered was gone already.

I'm goint to try Best Buy, they're pretty good with carrying the big names in thrash. I know for sure I will find the new 3 Inches Of Blood there, anything else is a gamble.

That's where I got mine. I couldn't find it when I got there and of course the clerk never heard of them. He went to look it up in the computer but another clerk overheard us and gave me a copy. They hadn't even put it out on the shelf yet, luckily. I would have hated driving up there for nothing.

The Best Buy here in town carries about 20 bands.

I went to two stores today, and both were out. =(

Record store I went to had at least two more copies than the one I got

It's ridiculous. At least the guys at the little indie store will get it for me as fast as possible.

My BB didn't have it. They didn't even have 3 Inches of Blood, and only one store in a 50 mile radius has it (obviously not the one I went to). I'm going to go ahead and order online.

Man, I was going to get this at my leisure but hearing about how it is sold out everywhere I may have to make a special trip to my local Hastings. Wonder if this one will turn out like Immortalis did for awhile - going for crazy prices.

Anyone know of any special offers (like a combo/special edition package) for this?

The stores just mid-judged the sales potential and didn't order enough copies. I'm sure they'll be restocked soon.

Just bought the last copy today at my local independent record store. The owner's a good friend of mine and he told me he brought in six copies. In our little town, that's pretty impressive to sell out in two days.

Got mine at Best Buy today. Many locations carrying it - check for availability at the store closest to you. It updates in real time so if they're sold out or aren't carrying it, you'll know. Mine was not on the shelf, I discovered on the bottom of a cart with new merchandise on it. Still in the system and rung up fine.

Amazon selling it for 9.99 as well.

First spin, it's a solid album. It's VERY intense, will require multiple spins to fully digest. I actually wish Overkill wrote shorter songs/albums. They're so fast and heavy and they fill 50-60 minutes on most of their albums, almost too much to take! I enjoy a good 30-40 minute thrash album.

Went ahead and ordered it from Amazon along with Accept and Sunstorm.

I love this album! Definitely their best since Horrorscope.

My decision was made totally sober. Elmo looks like a different story...

I'll have what he's having !

I got mine yesterday and have spun it several times already. It's another great Overkill disc, which should come as no surprise. This band just releases solid album after solid album.

I've listened to it three times through now. Does it remind anyone else strongly of WFO? The bass, the vocals(especially the gang vocals), and the songs themselves really seem similar in my opinion

Enough! It's bad enough that I have to wait on the mail for my copy. Stop making me anticipate this one even more.
