│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I was stoked for this album at first because it ║ │
│║ looked like it was gonna come out on my birthday ║ │
│║ (November 9); needless to say, I was decidedly ║ │
│║ de-stoked when they delayed it until February. ║ │
│║ However, I'm a big Overkill fan, so I was still ║ │
│║ looking forward to it. And, y'know, they ║ │
│║ delivered. Not "and did they deliver OR WHAT," ║ │
│║ just "they delivered." It's not really a ║ │
│║ surprise when a 37-year-old band doesn't exactly ║ │
│║ evolve all that much on their new album, ║ │
│║ especially when they had their comeback 2/3 of a ║ │
│║ decade ago. Besides, I like what they've been ║ │
│║ doing, so I can't complain that they kept doing ║ │
│║ it. However, I think we all would've appreciated ║ │
│║ it if they had experimented a little more. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ See, even though they didn't change much, they ║ │
│║ didn't stay completely the same like you might ║ │
│║ expect. I can't really quantify it (which is ║ │
│║ kinda my job), but they sound more aggressive on ║ │
│║ certain tracks than they have over the past ║ │
│║ three albums, and one track even came close to ║ │
│║ being a proper ballad, something which I wish ║ │
│║ was more common in modern thrash. However, aside ║ │
│║ from the first three tracks, "Red White and ║ │
│║ Blue," and the titular finale, nothing is really ║ │
│║ all that memorable. Horrorscope had the same ║ │
│║ problem, actually. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With regards to specifics, I'd say that this ║ │
│║ album continues the rise in aggression initiated ║ │
│║ on White Devil Armory, and I'd say that if they ║ │
│║ keep this trend their next album will be as ║ │
│║ angry as the 80s. They also seem to be using ║ │
│║ some slightly more complex rhythms and ║ │
│║ structures, though that might just be me. The ║ │
│║ production is fine as always, and I'm glad that ║ │
│║ Bobby doesn't seem to be layering his voice as ║ │
│║ much; see him live and it's clear that he ║ │
│║ doesn't need studio tricks to seem louder. DD's ║ │
│║ bass also seems to have more of a presence, ║ │
│║ though not annoyingly so like on the ║ │
│║ controversial WFO. My biggest problem with this ║ │
│║ album is that it's too long; I think that they ║ │
│║ could've gotten all of these ideas through in ║ │
│║ only 45 minutes. Other than that though, it's ║ │
│║ great, and once you've bought that new Kreator ║ │
│║ album, I'd highly recommend this one. ║ │
