Lamb of God: resolution

The new LOG is out.

Here's a new track. Quite aggressive, but i can't get into the vocals

Could never get into this band even though a friend of mine back in '04 used to play their albums all the damn time I was around him.

The only thing I never liked about this band is that they are always like F this and F that. Everything else is awesome.

I wouldn't mind them if they had a better vocalist.

That's the weakest link for this band IMO

too much Pantera worship (vocally & musically) is the weakest link here. aside from that, they aren't so bad.

Blythe isn't capable of singing at all. Anselmo may be a shadow of what he used to be, but he can still sing (sometimes). In addition... LoG music isn't even as good as Pantera's either.

I hear people say that, but I don't really hear it. Blythe isn't capable of singing at all. Anselmo may be a shadow of what he used to be, but he can still sing (sometimes). In addition... LoG music isn't even as good as Pantera's either.

well, i never said "a Pantera replica". LoG try to do Pantera at their more aggressive. so yeah, i'd still say Pantera worship. as far as them not being as good as Pantera, that's all a matter of opinion.

Well, I guess I can see what you're saying from a Far Beyond Driven + Great Southern Trendkill era influence...

LOG is basically a band that tries to cater both Traditional Thrash and Nu-Metal fans....sadly it doesn't work, they don't have a definitive style to please both.

I kinda liked their 'Burn The Priest' debut LP back when they were virtually unknown (Burn The Priest is also their orig. bandname btw) but albums that came after that were like a bunch of lame-ass generic stale metal, if I were to define a definitive Generic Nu Metal band, that would be them.

And I agree with the lamey vox, he just doesn't sound right, they need a much better frontman who can deliver the goods, I would be happy if they'd lessen the 'Nu' stuff a bit because it is getting kinda 'old', no pun intended

I like the band but the vocalist annoys the sh!t out of me, I don't mind screaming instead of singing, but damn it scream in key, any key!!!!

What he said.

Saw this band at Gigantour. Sometimes seeing a band live will change my opinion of them and make me enjoy their music more. Not the case here. I didn't care for them live and their singer annoyed me to no end.

Like I said in my Metallica review about Lamb Of God:

and that sums it up, and MC666 is correct, those guitarist worship at the altar of Dimebag

I think its too midground for me to like more than their earlier stuff. Its like it wants to have a southern feel, but then doesn't on other songs. Too inconsistent.

I picked up "ashes of the wake" a few years back as a blind buy, I really liked that album. But I could never get into the rest of there stuff, they just dropped off my radar and I lost all interest. I thought the song "walk with me in hell" was a pretty cool sounding tune, but nothing else after ashes really did it for me.
