Yob - Clearing the Path to Ascend

So I was partway through the opening track and I was positive that Electric Wizard's "Time to Die" was much, much better than this. So I started reviewing it a bit in this thread. Then about 7 minutes into the first track I wasn't so sure. The vocals start off somewhat subpar to Electric Wizard (but let's be honest, if any metal band is put up to the standards of EW, it's an impossible leap to bound over), but they quickly get better. Throughout the album, the vocals get heavier, the guitars get more dreary, and my opinion of the album increases.

It's definitely going to take a couple of listens because of how much I fucking love "Time To Die," but this may be one of my albums of the year.
