Lordi - Deadache

Anyone pick up the latest full length release from Lordi? Thoughts?

I purchased it last week. Good stuff, a couple more modern moments and a bit more forgettable, but does not sound much different from the rest of their catalogue. The most noticeable difference has got to be that there's A LOT of keyboard, though. Not as many "hits" on this album either. Good stuff, though.

It's OK but I liked Arocalypse better.

I feel it is their weakest album as well. Their debut is still my favourite

I agree, the debut is my favorite by Lordi. Which is weird because I bought it last.

Awesome cd, a lot darker then the arockalypse but still an extremely good album. took a couple a listens to grow on me but after it did it really opened up.

on a side note: I saw this in walmart today.

The Arocklaypse is a better first impression but Deadache is a grower. Take the time and listen to it. Its worth it!

min. 50x overplayed ... highly recommended. much better than previous albums.

Got it in the mail today. Will listen to it tomorrow.

My thoughts also.

I listened to the album at Virgin records before they went under and all i can remember is liking the last song.

Virgin going under still pisses me off. Their metal selection was unmatched by any store in my area and I wll mourn the loss for a long time. It also makes me hate Best Buy's music selection more because apart from the internet, I have no alternative.

Sorry, back to the topic...

It has a more commericialized sound, doesn't it? Maybe it's a grower. But on th first spin i'm a little let down.

I still need to get the first two albums.

Seconded!

Monsterican Dream blows the new one away IMO.

I recently got their first one and I just listened to it last night. You can say I am officially hooked. These guys are frickin awesome. I was dissapointed because the CD seemed too short (although it was 42 minutes). I can guarantee I will be getting their other albums. This one will probably be the next one I get because it's the only one Wal-Mart has. Is it just me or does the vocalist sound a little like Ville Laihiala (Sentenced, Poisonblack)?

Laihiala crossed with Lemmy would be a good description

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's Lordi... formulaic and fun. An enjoyable listen from beginning to end.
