New Annihilator coming soon.

I like Padden. He's grown on me over the years and I think he's gotten better with each release.

Scroll down for samples.

Well, shit. From what I'm hearing this may be the band's best since the debut...

I still think the Joe albums are the best but i'm liking this.

I love those cats - love Jeff, can't wait.

Im hearing the complete opposite.. But I nvr go by reviews....

That stuff is sounding good. Not too sure about the No Surrender track. Sounds a little too funky.

Jeff is trying to be creative which is good but i'm not sure it works on that song.

After many listens Dave Padden has improved a lot and on this release he is really. Jeff's signature guitar style is back on this where the last few it lacked abit. Feast is definitely the best so far with Dave on vokills.

Good to hear. Was going to pick it up this week but the car decided to break down.

I went to look for it but couldn't find it . The search goes on.

Guys. Guys?

This is really good. Like, really really good. Even the BALLAD is strong. THE BALLAD.

This is up there on my list for album of the year. Stream it if you have a hard time finding it (on Spotify or the whole album is available on youtube). Amazon is shipping one to two weeks out. This needs more attention.

Jeff's riffing sounds fresh and inspired, Padden does his best work yet (there's even some harmony!), the whole bands is tight. Best of all the album's not terribly compressed. I mean, the DR score is at 7, so it's not great, but overall it feels very powerful and heavy.

I can't recommend this enough. One of the biggest surprises of this year.

Meh. More of the same old same old. I liked the rerecordings though.

Gave this a spin and I really dig Smear Campaign, No Surrender, and Wrapped. The others have too much speed, which equals IMO less melodies and it all starts sounding the same. Jeff's riffing is very tight on this album especially in Wrapped where he seems to channel his good friend Rich Wards style.

I understand it's THRASH but I need more GROOVE!!!

This album is very good! A few songs are kinda lame, but the majority KILLS!!!

I thought every tune was solid with kegs and kegs of melody. Good point about Rich.

I spun it again this morning and I've got a number of songs stuck in my head. In my world, that's a SOLID thrash album, and rare at that.

I ordered this from Amazon and it is out of stock. Maybe a couple of weeks. Hopefully sooner.

Everywhere else as well. I'm kind of pissed. Been having to stream it off of Spotify but I want the actual product!

Annihilator is one of those where the same old is always good enough for me.

Hey that's even better than what Amazon's offering. Thanks man!

EDIT: Just picked it up, supposed to ship in 48 hrs. Hell yeah.

Very good album. Highly enjoyable.

It's much more accessible than their previous one.

Got it yesterday here at my local brick and mortar store. Awesome release. I just wish it was the deluxe edition with the re-recorded classics. Oh, well.

Having given this a first spin I have to say I liked it quite a bit. Don't know whether or not I'll grow in my love of it or not. Could go either way I'm thinking. But I got about what I was expecting going in. The 3-D cover is awesome. No doubt album cover of the year on that one.

My order from Amazon was cancelled due to availability. Anybody got a line on where I can get this.

Hmm... I can't find the deluxe edition in stock in the usual places, but the standard edition is available, even on Amazon.
