Since releasing their first major album New American Gospel in 2000, Lamb of God has been hailed as the saviours of real American metal from the myriad bands that have the word "-core" somewhere in their bio. New American Gospel won several album of the year awards, and LoG were on their way to becoming the pre-eminent thrash band of the new millenium. Just how much attention they garnered can be surmised from the fact that Epic signed them to a contract in 2004, and in true major label fashion pushed them to release a new album in five months. Following that album (Ashes of the Wake), two years of constant touring followed, during which I had the pleasure of experiencing LoG live on the Sounds of the Underground tour with Slayer. After finally finding time to return to the studio, Lamb of God has released Sacrament, their brand new metal opus.

"This band is a sack of shit. Fucking generic metal. Go listen to more Slipknot." xFreezyx, LOG has more talent and technical ability than all of your top bands combined. How can you call these guys generic when some of your favorites are metalcore. Let me guess, real metal fans make fun of your taste in music, and this is your way of getting back at them. This band is a sack of shit. Fucking generic metal. Go listen to more Slipknot. hey "ken" do u remember this little tune,"i just wanna live,don't care about the things that they say!" and u said that punk was ahead of metal.u set youself up for that one I thought metal went all emo now a days. Ha, well most of it did kind of embrace the emotional theme vocally. But then again, all the metalheads won't admit to this and label anything even remotely emotional and melodic as core. ""metal is the opposite of what makes punk great" if your into the no talent music scene, and the ignorant politics,then you are truly punk, but i'm sure an idiot such as yourself will take that as a compliment" If you would direct your attenton to this post Note to: muskawo love this new record. "metal is the opposite of what makes punk great" if your into the no talent music scene, and the ignorant politics,then you are truly punk, but i'm sure an idiot such as yourself will take that as a compliment Seeing metal reviews o this site annoys me more than seeing pop rock reviews. (which actually doesnt bother me much) Lamb of God is incredible. Anyone who plays guitar or drums can appreciate it. Unfortunately, this website is full of the same little bitches that turned punk into shit. So you should go fuck yourself. this band has always had the lamest and dumbest looking art ever. all their shirts and cd covers just look retarded. I think the real question is, "is this website big enough for one crazytoledo?" So this gets an 8 and Intronaut gets a 7. Hmmmmm, does Atreyu get a 9? This website aint big enough for 2 craytoledos. This band is so fucking overblown. They suck. They've always sucked. This album saw 4 songs and had to be removed from the CD player. It's now in my "for sale" pile. why would anyone listen to this when napalm has new shit out This band is so fucking overblown. They suck. They've always sucked. This album saw 4 songs and had to be removed from the CD player. It's now in my "for sale" pile. So this gets an 8 and Intronaut gets a 7. Hmmmmm, does Atreyu get a 9? This website aint big enough for 2 craytoledos. is anybody else fucking tired of Lamb Of God bitching about how hard it is to record a new record? every fucking interview, dude...whine whine. Jesus they're fucking lame. New Napalm Death, though, ohhhhhmaaaannnn. saviours of american metal.... you have balls, too bad their small. If you want the saviours of metal listen to Saviours REAL fucking metal, not this numetal bullshit. Lamb of God SUUUUUUUCKS Bleh, for the band, the album, and the review. We need to seriously "up tha punk" on this site. Who here wants to help me start the loosely-affilliated hardcorenews.org? Lame lame lame lame lame. I really dislike this band. Does anybody else find it extremely uncreative, boring, lackluster, immature etc. that they feel the need to constantly swear? It's not like I mind swearing but with them they do it so often it just sounds uncreative like nu-metal lyrics. Like that new video he's always sayin "this is a mother fuckin..." whatever he goes on to say, I don't even care. It just sounds bad. Lame. First: The album. It's no Ashes of the Wake or As the Palaces Burn but it's not a disgrace by any means. It would have been better if Randy would have stuck to his traditional approach to vocals and not the Pantera-ish method. Also, I agree that "Redneck" was a terrible single choice. "Forgotten" and "Again We Rise" are far and away better choices. So this gets an 8 and Intronaut gets a 7. Hmmmmm, does Atreyu get a 9? This website aint big enough for 2 craytoledos. "metal is better than punk as of today." I didn't say you listen to Hawthorne, I suggested that you pick up one of their albums if the loud noisey metal hurts your little girley ears. Wow from my statement you concluded I listen to Hawthorne Heights, great job. First I listen to bands like the ergs, briefs, social distortion, cocksparrer, blitz, briefs, wednesday night heroes, flogging molly, US Bombs, not metal B.S. And my mom does like a lot of the music I listen to because it is good. "don't understand why people like metal, first you can't understand what the singers say, second it is all males, I mean punk is male dominated but metal is all males. And the only way to dance to metal is punching people, and that is not fun" I don't understand why people like metal, first you can't understand what the singers say, second it is all males, I mean punk is male dominated but metal is all males. And the only way to dance to metal is punching people, and that is not fun. this band is so fucking good live. this album is damn good. this review is damn boring. Never really did care for this band. Just not my cup o tea. Score is for the new Napalm Death. these guys are from Virginia, so it's kinda funny they would make fun of the south metal reigns over punk any day of the week,punk is for angry douche bags who aren't talented to play anything past 3 chord guitar riffs, or a standard sped up drum beat, and thats a fact LoG is so fuckin lame and overrated, why not try reviewing this generations greatest metal band,MASTODON!!! This record is FAR to Pantera stlye thrash for my tastes. A little too much mid-tempo tough-guy groove. I can head band to this though, when they get a hold of a goor riff they shure as hell thrash that bitch. Nice press notes on the album. hahaha I love how all these metal bands always get an 8 or 9. Fuck this. i'd take this album over the say anything/mewithoutyou/ Piebald experience... this album was such a huge disappointment Lamb of Gay. Metal is retard-o. This is a fucking solid cd. Metal is better these days. metal is better than punk as of today. When did punk become metal? Metal is not good, and I like punk rock. End of story What's with all these shitty metal bands getting decent reviews? That GWAR album is terrible, and so is this piece of crap. Um, four stars is not a perfect score. who wrote this fanboy crap review? their record label? i bet it was....and also, how did this get a perfect review when the second paragraph is bagging on the sound of the album? that makes no sense whatsoever. this album is fucking lame, just absolutely did nothing for me.the lack of impression it left on me is actually impressive What the fuck is this review doing on this site? Hahahaha jesus christ... Slayer wasn't on sounds of the underground. You're thinking of the Unholy Alliance Tour, dude. Good job forgetting an entire cd and getting shit wrong. who wrote this review? crazytoledo? there is something about that cover art i really hate, it looks cheap |
