S.O.D. Rise of the Infidels

Their latest and allegedly final release, features 4 new songs (2 covers) and a live show. They open with the Ballad of Nirvana, great stuff.

My only complaint is the lack of Bigger Than The Devil materal.

Billy Milano thanks you for the money. Those songs aren't new. Haha.

I used to like these guys years ago but now i just wish they would go away. Too much drama and ballad of... crap filler.

wish they would just make a new album.

How is that a label cash grab? its an EP with 4 new studio songs and a live album attached. Its even priced like an EP.

the only "new" material was the 2 songs already released on the New York's Hardest compilation years ago, just altered a bit. the other two are cover tracks. the live album is of bootleg quality at best. it's a cash grab. if you are happy with it, then enjoy but i say again...i'll pass.

They have gone away, i think this is just a Billy Milano release. Worth it for the four studio songs... the live material... well the ballads are fun and theres alot of stage shenannigans in between, but it really is just a rehash of the alrwady available live material. I got mine for 7 bucks new.

But thats like 105 bucks on Amazon, are you kidding me?

maybe it is now, but not if you already own it. so to me, this new release is a cash grab.

Point well taken *take hit off bubble pipe*

how much were the songs altered?

just the lyrics to Stand Up & Fight, which was originally called Pathmark Song.

I'm supposed to be getting a copy of this to review for Detritus, so I will reserve judgment till I hear it. Just going by the description, tho, it does seem a little like Milano (or MegaForce Records) is trying to squeeze the last little bit of juice out of the S.O.D. name...

Got my promo of this S.O.D. disc in the mail yesterday. Have only given it a quick spin but it sounds pretty good so far. The live stuff sounds a little thin (some songs sound better than others, the quality wavers a bit from track to track) but Milano's stage patter, as always, is hilarious.

The live stuff was recorded in Seattle so it's priceless to hear them open the set with "The Ballad of Nirvana" (Band: first few bars of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Milano: "YOU'RE DEAD!") hahahaha!!!

I also received a copy of the forthcoming new M.O.D. album, RED WHITE AND SCREWED, which was a surprise, as I didn't even know Milano had anything new in the works... haven't spun it yet but I hope it's better than his last piece of godawful M.O.D. crap, THE REBEL YOU LOVE TO HATE...
